> Batman has taken up cave painting as Gotham decends into chaos ?

Gotham doesn't even exist back then, so it's not descending into anything. You gotta think it in four dimensions.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

No i just mean Bats must have know what would happen to Gotham if he left.

[mr_terrific.insanejournal.com]

Ah, where did the monitors go ?

The Monitors are retired and living like kings in Patagonia.

[cissie_king.insanejournal.com]

Considering he left an army of sidekicks behind, I don't get why the place is falling to pieces. But anyhow, there is not much he can do from the stone age. He either builds his own time machine or waits to be rescued. Either way, he'll return to Gotham when he returns to Gotham.

Hmmm, do you think there is anything to come out of Legion of 3 worlds other than the fate of Superboy Prime (that would impact the Final Crisis)?

[cissie_king.insanejournal.com]

Don't think so. If you mean rescuing Batman from The Flintstones, I don't think that will happen until issue 700 and that one is a few months away. We will probably have a year without Batman, and then Electric Batman and then Batman blue and Batman red.

Don't forget Cyborg Batman, multiple cover vaiations...

[geoffsebesta.insanejournal.com]

I don't know if he left as much as "got there really, really early."

And the cave he's in now, um, then, is the future Batcave? The cave paintings are a message?

With his luck, it'll be Harley who'll figure it out...

Harley: WAIT A MINUTE!!! Maybe... Maybe he painted these!!!

Selina: Sigh... Harley, we've established that these were made in the Stone Age!

Harley: But... Instead of being killed, maybe he got sent back in time! And... And, he painted these so we'd find them, as a message! If we can work out exactly when these were painted, we can get some of those time travel guys, go to the right time in this very place, and rescue him!

Selina: Harley... You're not crazy, any more. Remember?

I don't see where it's confusing. Nobody promised to undo CoIE, and reset everything like it was.

Hypertime was just a device to allow for re-setting continuity at any point. What happened in Infinite Crisis/52/Countdown was something different, recreating the Multiverse, but not the same one we had, before.

All this is is allowing any story with these characters in any medium and Age to have happened, somewhere. The main DCU is Earth-0. Whatever else has been done that doesn't fit in main DCU continuity happened on one of these other Earths. The Golden Age comics that don't fit current continuity happened on Earth-2. Whatever in the Batman animated series from the '90s and it's spin-offs has it's own Earth. There's an Earth for The Dark Knight Returns and it's tie-ins (It has a number, but I prefer the name someone at the old Scans Daily gave it: The Goddamn Earth). Towards the end of Countdown, one of the Earths became Kamandi's, which is where the New Gods wound up at the end of Final Crisis.

So, presumably, Earth-1 would be the Silver/Bronze Age Earth. Don't know what shape it would be in, though, after Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow.

What we likely won't get are the annual crossovers, or entire series set on one of these other worlds. Too bad, because I liked the DCAU. :)

Such a great bit in a series that was bursting at the seams with great moments. Wolfman and Perez managed to make Ultraman as noble as any of the other Supermans while still keeping him a villain.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

There was a strange silver age story called : the first Batcave. it was about a native american Batman. In Modern times the dynamic duo frind arrow heads and cave painting about hime and use hypnosis to visit the past.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Towards the end of Countdown, one of the Earths became Kamandi's, which is where the New Gods wound up at the end of Final Crisis.


There is a body of work to suggest that Kirby wanted to link Kamandi to the fourth world, "The great didaster" having been caused by a rouge Boomtube accident.

Maybe we shall hear more.

As an opening scene it really set the tone for the rest of the book. How do you face the end ? What regrets surface,what do you learn when the end comes. If you were 13 it was high art.

[04nbod.insanejournal.com]

Brainiac telling Superman about the miracle machine maybe?

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

lol, that should be good.

[buttler.insanejournal.com]

Oh, indeed. I'd always loved the Crime Syndicate and was sorry to see them go, but that was one badass finish for Earth-3.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

I wonder what the Earth 3 Aquaman would have been like ?

[buttler.insanejournal.com]

The Anti-Matter Crime Syndicate's Earth has one called Barracuda. I don't think I ever saw one on either the pre-Crisis or post-52 Earth 3, tho.

[buttler.insanejournal.com]

Oh, and I think one showed up in the Brave & Bold cartoon. Not that that's canon by any means.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

The the Aquaman on Earth 3 would have been relivant and have to be shoehorned into every story ? LOL

[buttler.insanejournal.com]

It's worse than that, I'm afraid. The Crime Syndicate of Amerika's Antimatter Earth is not the same as the Crime Society's Earth 3. Both versions have showed up since Infinite Crisis, although never in the same story. So now we have two alternate universe evil JLAs to worry about.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

So, your saying there is the potential for Superwoman on Superwoman action ?

[buttler.insanejournal.com]

Potential? Heck, I'd say it's a moral imperative.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Dueling lassos.
