Love how Frank Quietly the art is - when doing a sci-fi Superman story with fun storytelling choices, why not go all in on evoking All-Star Superman?

It feels like a cross between Quitely and "Superman for all Seasons" era Tim Sale

No, Bruce. Barbara was trapped in that dream. I saw that episode.

This was absolutely bonkers.
And given how absolutely bonkers Kryptonite used to be (Red K, whenever the creative team wanted to go a little wild, and create Super-Ant-Man...) this has potential.

They should bring back pink K. :)

They will never bring back pink K. :-)

Not sure on those crest-faced robots. They don't look very friendly.

So, does "Black Label" mean this is out of continuity, or...?

[superfangirl1]

"Geoff Johns said that the Black Label stories do not always have to exist outside of the main universe canon. Stories which may not intentionally exist within the main universe upon release can be folded into the main universe dependant on their success or popularity."

"Tom King, speaking on the topic of continuity with mainline DC,[5] has said that there are three major categories, based on DC published during the 1980s. Comics in one category have nothing to do with the DC Universe. In the second category are stories which could exist in hypothetical futures of mainstream continuity, such as The Dark Knight Returns, and these stories are set in a hypothetical future in mainstream continuity, which may or may not happen. In the third category are stories which happen with the DCU but aren't taking place with the monthly books that DC publishes."

That's clear as mud.

(Not criticizing you, just grumping at them.)

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Ah, thanks!

[shakalooloo]

It's in whatever continuity you want it to be.

I do think this is just a fun concept. Clark and Bruce are playing with kryptonite because Clark is just a little stupid.
