"With this one in particular, I think it’s lived in my head for so long that I don’t feel as much pressure as I thought I would. I know it’s the right ending for our version of the character, and it’s so specific for our version. There are so many other things happening with Batman now in so many great ways at DC between what Tom is doing on the book and what Brian and Lee are doing with him at Black Label, and what Pete Tomasi is doing on Detective—all of it. I can kind of look at it and say that this is the ending of our Batman, which we began in 2011, as opposed to if we were doing this while we were still on Batman and it was more of the mainline version. This gives me some freedom to be able to sit back and say that there are no real restrictions on this one. There’s no pressure externally. It’s really just all the pressure that we put on ourselves to be able to say that this stands with our best stuff, and I really think it does." -- Scott Snyder

Now that we've relived Identity Crisis (and survived to tell of it), let's take a trip back to the Golden Age, when members of the JLA's predecessor underwent their own, somewhat different crises of identity. This issue-length Gardner Fox story, from All Star Comics #30 (Aug-Sept 1946), is so delightfully cracky it took four artists to illustrate it. It previously appeared, way back when, on s_d 1.0, so no better time to post it again.

aekaHere's a question I get asked a lot on my Tumblr, and that is 'if you could put together your own superhero team using any characters you want, who would you pick and why?'
In my perfect Earth-2 Universe, my current Justice Society would be fronted by these awesome characters:
( I'm pretty sure this story was told six years ago by a once good writer )

aekaI honestly had trouble with this one. Because in truth? There is more than one character I'd like to see come back from the dead.
The characters I speak of all populated a world that was originally five decades old. They lived on a world where the first superheroes appeared and united during World War II and formed the first superhero team in the history of superhero teams. These were the characters that aged in real time, married, and had families of their own. Their own children eventually took over their jobs as superheroes once they were old and retired or had passed on after a long, fruitful life. Their own legacy even led the arrival of a new generation of superheroes that were more diverse than their predecessors.
( I am of course, talking about the pre-Crisis Earth-2 in all its Golden Age glory! )

Scowly McBatface is from an actual quote from the issue, by the way.

Food for Thought: This might be an odd time to ask this, but where was Alfred Pennyworth during the night of the Wayne murders? Not accusatory, just curious.
Well, this looks like it could be fun
