So if a tree falls in a BL book, does it make a sound in mainline continuity?
"Everything happened, everything matters" now, but I wonder if that means each character is aware of everything happening across the different continuities?
“Look, you can’t put the Superman #77s with the #200s. They haven’t even discovered Red Kryptonite yet. And you can’t put the #98s with the #300s, Lori Lemaris hasn’t even been introduced.” — Sam
“Where the hell are you from? Krypton?” — Edgar Frog
It doesn’t. Don’t buy into the hype, DC always goes “it all matters!”, but usually it just means the status quo of writers picking and choosing what they want to acknowledge. As for BL, the goal was to create “Killing Jokes” stuff that was created to stand alone, but if it was popular enough, could be made canon. I don’t expect Other History to be one of those though, given its heavy focus on Bronze Age stories.
Yep I still do “Care” instead of “Car”. Did the show start the trend of pronouncing it Car or was I just mispronouncing it all that time?
Rude has that same realism-esque feel as Ross, but there’s still a folk tale/pulp feel to his stuff that I really love when it comes to Superman. Ross’ stuff can sometimes feel stiff while Rude’s feels more energetic. Really like his Kara.
Well, I agree that his behaviour is... interesting... Kara's by one means the worst victim of his Superdickery during the period, and at least in the case, there are other reads to it.
Actually, if you look at the timeline, it's more likely that Kara was the one mentoring Barbara, not the other way around (Kara'd been a public hero and member of the Legion for years by that point). I'd also point out that Modern Age!Kara being mentored by the Amazons (admittedly mostly Artemis rather than Donna, which may have been a factor...) didn't work as well as Bumblebee is suggesting that it would.
While that's true, IMO the more important thing that Bumblebee's missing is the years that Kara spent with the Legion, which did start before her public debut in the present.
By the time that the Titans came along, I'm not sure joining them would have actually helped her all that much. The two changes I would have made would be foster closer connections between Black Canary (particularly if we're keeping the Silver Age!Canary is Dinah Jr from the beginning retcon) and Zatanna, who she actually shared the Supergirl title with in the 1970s, and have her replace Superman on the Detroit League as IMO her extra power, skills and experience would fill at least one gap in that line-up.
Heh I liked this cockiness shown by Kara in today’s FS issue
