"I'm sorry, but the pilot for "Smallvile Rebooted" has already been filmed."

[captainbellman]

So this is taking Morrison's "The Monitors represent overly aggressive comic book editors cannibalising their creations" idea from Final Crisis and making it really, really on the nose?

"The line will be drawn HERE!"

[writeofway]

"This far NO further!"

[bruinsfan]

From what I can see, the line will be drawn randomly on people's foreheads.

" Very well. When we do fire the Deconstructors, what level of meta should they be set to? "
" As low as possible. This universe is already perilously close to exceeding the maximum ambient meta threshold. "

Clark really doesn't want that collar on his suit.

Awesome. I've missed glorious Superman.

Also, holy shit is that a Smallville Justice League rallying behind him?

[icon_uk]

Combination Justice League and Teen Titans at a guess.

[shadowpsykie]

really. Smallville has had the best superman for a long time now..

[big_daddy_d]

Can't help but wonder if this is also taking a shot at DC and how trigger happy it is with reboots.

[zechs80]

Okay I recognize mostly everyone but big purple and yellow robot. I'm guessing a Brainiac.

Its the smallville take on the lex power armor since adavced tech us pretty new to the smallville universe and looks more proto type.

Braniac is with the legion and should be showing back up shortly.

Also this is the best superman book published by far.

The series name is actually "Smallville Continuity." I don't even know what to say to that.

[drtechnobabel]

"I won't let them take our Earth, even if I have to break every last neck in the- oh wait, wrong continuity."

[zapbiffpow]

I forgot to ask something - why are the Monitors acting all villain-y in these pages?

Aren't they like the Alfreds of the multiverse or something?

[espanolbot]

Eh... they fall more on the aggressively neutral/"You are like ants to us!" scale of things a lot of the time. Like in Countdown to Final Crisis they were all "Raarrr, no one should be able to cross between universes except us!", killing Duella Dent as a result due to her apparently being a refugee from Earth 3 (the one with Owlman, the heroic version of the Joker etc.). Or in Final Crisis they didn't see the individual value of the inhabitants of their respective universes, as they were do advanced on the cosmic scale it would be like us being concerned about the fates of individual atoms.

They aren't like Darkseid level malicious, but they largely aren't out to actively help people either.

Though a lot of the time people seem to confuse "beyond our comphrension" with confusing and contradictory writing. Hence a lot of the Countdown related Monitor stuff, like one hiring Dark Angel to hire Cass Cain to "test" Supergirl for some reason I'm still confused by some decade or so later.

[jlbarnett]

you only think it's confusing and contradictory because it's beyond our comprehension

smallville has had the best superman for a long time now.
