We finally learn who Earth-2 Batman is

[aeka]

Yup. E2 Batman was Bruce all along. I knew my spidey senses weren't lying to me!

Also, because this is me posting, and we know what bleeps my gaydar:



Nicola Scott should draw Helena Wayne as Robin forever. :3

You can catch the rest of the preview here. Nicola Scott's art is delish as always, though, Robinson's dialogue couldn't get anymore cliche than these three pages. In fact, I think I just read every cliche imaginable on just one page alone. :/

E2 Bruce and Selina were always Helena's parents since the time she was conceived as a character in 1977. I didn't honestly see any point in changing that aspect of the character's history.

I do have to agree though that the current premise for this new Earth-2 isn't anything remotely different than what's going on on the main DCU Earth. The original Earth-2 from the pre-Crisis continuity aged their heroes, allowed them to semi-retire, marry, have children who GREW to adulthood, and overall moved on to other things in their lives. Meanwhile the kids took over the superheroics. THAT was something different. This that they're doing with the current Earth-2? Nothing remotely new, fresh, or original to say the least.

Agreed, this doesn't seem like enough of a change to make it worth the effort. Pretty though it is...

Well this is only the first issue. I'm giving it a chance.

But there ARE fundamental differences if, for example, Bruce and Selina got together and had a kid who became Robin. (Completely alters or negates Earth 2 Dick Grayson right there.) Plus, there's the whole separate Earth thing which allows for more creativity, without the writers being tied to the continuity of a shared universe.
The ONLY downside I see is the WF comic being set on Earth 1.
