Has anyone seen the Perez cover to issue #2? I don't remember seeing it but heard a rumor that the Perez cover contained spoilers. Could be the reason, could be a lame duck.. ;D |

I'm loving this series right now. The second issue is pretty good, though it helps to have read the Power Girl arc in JSA Classified first. I have to admit, though, I am so rooting for Kal-L in this one. Cause he's right. |

Interesting, Steve. While I;m kinda pro Earth-2, I can't say I'm sure I back the refugee faction there. You're the first I've seen saying that.

I think it depends on how Kal-L intends to solve the problem, Duncan. We don't know that yet. But I see his point in principle. The DCU has been getting darker as time's gone on. I think this is meant to sort of reflect the general trend in comics, and perhaps the world as a whole. The heroes have had to make a lot of hard choices as a result, and whether some of those decisions (the mindwipes, WW killing Max Lord, etc.) were good ones is certainly open to debate. Looking at the Big Three... well, let's see. We have a Superman who doubts himself and has failed to inspire. (Batman called that one right.) We have an isolated, grim, and paranoid Batman who's gone to extreme lengths in response to the JLA mindwiping him in Identity Crisis. We also have a Wonder Woman who has gone to more ruthless levels in order to do what she sees is right, and may not have considered the consequence of this. (The consequences being an OMAC army invading Paradise Island.) This is leaving out the JLA's mindwipes, all the death and suffering, the growing power of the Society, and everything else that's been going on. We also know that the world may get even worse, if the dark future of shown in "Titans Tomorrow" is any indication. If you're the Superman of Earth-2, who hasn't lost hope, and who sacrificed his entire world and everything he loves so that others could live... this has to be disturbing. I can entirely understand why he would want to fix things, and perhaps knock some sense into the heroes that have walked from the path. I think Kal-L's purpose, in the end, is to remind the heroes what they stand for, and in this way, make the DCU brighter again. To remind Superman how to inspire. To remind Batman that he is not alone, and that he can trust. To remind Wonder Woman that killing isn't always the right answer. When they find their way, things will start getting better. Or I could be wrong. Still a little early to guess, but I can see the basic point. |

If the series doesn't end up good I'm going to pretend that after the last page of Infinite Crisis #1 that Earth-2 Superman goes and literally [Censored]slaps the DCU back to normal.

I'd go along with that one, Spider. |
