    Post-Crisis Matrix Supergirl. Nobody liked her when she first appeared, the premise was convoluted, and she wasn't the REAL Supergirl, Superman's cousin. Then Peter David came along and wrote her...

    I actually just got to this while rereading the series. I really don't remember much from that time period, as I only read those issues once when I first bought them. This was a fun little fill in...

    I actually had those. Not the Supermobile or helicopter, but I had the van, newspaper truck, and cop car. I think there was also a city playset, with a building with ramps and stuff, to drive them...

    I already have the originals.

    But was Wally even in Crisis #8? That was a great spotlight issue for Barry Allen, featuring his death, but Kid Flash wasn't with him at the time. Wally didn't find...

    Christopher Priest is awesome. And that totally sounds like the type of thing he'd suggest. After all, this is the same guy who made the nickname "Crab Face Guy" for Kyle Rayner canon.

    It's a short enough period of time that Bruce's behavior was part of a longer story thread that led to A Lonely Place of Dying, rather than an ongoing change to the character. It was intentional, and...
