Superman: Lost #10 Final Issue Of What?

[superfangirl1]

Clark goes to leave and join the Justice league in space. But a few minutes later, he mysteriously return to the apartment.





"EVERY MAN HAS
HIS OWN
DESTINY--
"THE ONLY
IMPERATIVE IS
TO FOLLOW IT...
WILL.

"...TO
ACCEPT IT, NO MATTER WHERE IT
LEADS HIM."





Hope’s baby isn’t Clark’s at all, it’s the kid of the guy she killed

As for the ending. Somebody brings up a good point question.

“If the "Gatekeeper" is responsible for providing a path home for Clark that branches off after only a few days, how do all the events leading to saving Victor's planet still occur creating the Gatekeeper in the first place. Is it like an alternating loop? Clark lives the LOST timeline, resulting in the Gatekeeper. The Gatekeeper alters the past to avert a Clark going through the Lost timeline. But then there would be no Gatekeeper so Clark goes through the LOST timeline, etc. But then why would Lois remember the LOST version of Clark even if he doesn't return until after the events of LOST in Lois' timeline. So the Gatekeeper and the LOST version of Clark are essentially alternate future versions. Or is it closer to the MCU Endgame time travel and like Gamora?”

While there are certainly stories I'd rather see forgotten, I generally like the whole Waid/Morrison "everything is in continuity" sensibility but writers still have to do the work when it comes to explaining it. Hypertime never got a satisfying explanation because, as you said, it seemed to be a multiverse that didn't want to admit it was.

Personally I feel like we already have the template for what would cause Tim to snap. We've seen glimpses of it several times now. When someone he loves (usually Bruce but also Connor that one time) dies he gets obsessive about bringing them back because obviously they aren't really dead; they're lost in the time stream or the multiverse or whatever. He's always proven right eventually (Thanks Bendis!) but one of these days he won't be. When Bruce dies for real, I think Tim is among the LEAST likely Bat-folk to be capable of taking to mantle. A world without Bruce would either crush him or cause him to go full-Monarch*.

*The Armageddon 2001 guy, not the Venture Bros guy. Jason or Damien are more likely to become the Venture Bros guy.

I agree the idea of Hypertime wasn't bad but the execution of it and the confusing way they kept explaining it only made it worse.

That's certainly the most likely way I was just saying if you wanted Tim as Evil Batman I think only obligation would make him take the cowl. After all it harks back to how he ended up Robin since he didn't intend to apply for the job but there was no one else and he was convinced Batman needed Robin. Titans tommorrow was honestly IMo really lazy writing. Wanting the Titans as the Evil Justice league in the future with a corrupt trinity but then they didn't really put much thought into how to get them there.

You know everytime I think about Armageddon 2001 I think about how annoyed I was that they showed Hawk and Dove fight him and then he turned out to be Hawk. It was only years later when I learned about the leaked ending and how DC randomly changed it at the last moment.
