Ultraman hating the touch of the sun. That's new, right? I can't decide if I like it or not.

On the other hand, silly and cheesy and fan-bating as it is, I do sort of like Lex Luthor realizing, if only for a moment, how much he actually depends on Superman to stop this sort of thing. It's a nice touch.

Yes the sun hating is a new thing.

From:

shadowpsykie

ALTHOUGH it IS reminicent of Nuclear Man from Superman IV (though in reverse. Blocking out the sun (with the moon no less) nullifies his powers. In this case, since superman gets his powers from the sun, the opposite would be Ultraman getting his powers from darkness.

I cant help but feel the action from ultraman is meant as a throw back to SMIV

If I recall, we never see the Anti-Matter Ultraman in Morrison/Quietly's "Earth 2" during the daytime - he always appears at night or hovers on the periphery laser-blasting people, and everyone's startled/terrified when they see Superman disguised as Anti-Matter Lt. Clark Kent in broad daylight.

Hm, in Final Crisis he DID become a kinda of weird metatextual vampire. Though that would mean that someone actually bothered to remember what happened in Final Crisis.

From:

timefire

I *do* remember Final Crisis :P One of the first comics I've read.

A fun book, wasn't it?

The vampire thing in FC to me was what wrecked it. I honestly had NO idea wtf that was even doing there. I thought it had plenty of potential and that was an unfortunate thread Morrison shouldn't have pursued. I mean, as though he didn't have enough chainsaws juggling in the air as it was, he has to throw in something so...cliched and ordinary? ":Stake this vampire!" I actually did laugh aloud at that. Especially given they were Green Lantern stakes, which would of course fade out.

And millions died and trillions in damage ensued as massive tsunamis were triggered all over the world...

Well DC has said this will have major ramafications. i'M guessing once the crossover is over where going to see Earth on the DCU really different. (IE JLC since america is probably gone).

From:

shadowpsykie

more like the JL does not want to be held accountable to waller and the Society has america in its grip. so Canada is the closest they could get to as safe but strategic distance

From:

chrisdv

I seriously doubt DC Comics are going wipe America off the map of Earth-Whatever It Is These Days.

If the changes are as widespread and lasting as those of Ultimatum, I will be genuinely impressed.

Well, I doubt that they'll destroy the US because, well, most of the big important cities of the DCU are there. That said, I'm sure pretty much everything is going to be a mess after Forever Evil ends.

I was thinking more along the lines of a moon that's no longer in a moving orbit is going to simply crash down and kill everyone. :p Seriously, who's going to volunteer to keep it in place?

From:

vitruvian23

And it will only last for a few minutes, anyway.

Unless he stopped the Moon cold in its orbit at its usual distance from the Earth, in which case it falls into our planet and destroys all life.

From:

terrykun

Has it been established that Nu52 Superman can push moons or the like around without destroying them? Does Ultra man have pre-crisis strength levels?

Nevermind that much force in one spot shattering it...

From:

shadowpsykie

Nevermind that much force in one spot shattering it...

shhhhh comics.... also Superman IV the Quest for peace

From:

superfangirl1

Well Nu52 Superman did hold the equivalent weight of the earth for five day in Dr. Veritas lab.

Maybe he never had a reason to move the moon before?

Dammit, Xavier, stop filling in for Lex! I know he doesn't want to be there, but still...

From:

captainbellman

Hell, he liked the gig as Dr. Strangefate, so he's going back to alternate-universe moonlighting until someone at Marvel gives him his job back. Luthor can hardly be blamed from wanting to take a break when they give him all of two or three characteristics.

From:

jlroberson

And then Luthor and everyone else on that side of Earth went blind instantly, looking stupidly straight at the corona.

From:

espanolbot

I wouldn't put it past Luthor to install photoreactive lenses into his eyes so that he can look at the sun without that happening, like a hightech version of contacts.

From:

draganoche

so....wasn't Lex suppose to have some heat vision scaring on his face?

From:

shingi70

I think Superman unchained will explain how it got better.
