Quote: For the simple reason that the story that started with MoS hasn't ended, it's only been derailed for the last few years.
Just like what started with Year One, Emerald Dawn, God's & Monsters (which seems to have become the official name of the WW reboot), Hawkworld, etc haven't ended.
GL and Hawkman continuity, even though they don't currenly use Hal or Katar, are built upon the structure introduced in those relaunches (as shown in many recent issues of GL and the Thanagarian story arc in issues of Hawkman last year which made references to Hawkworld).
Same way with Superman.
The books were derailed by Berganza and love to please readers like K Trout and King Krypton who don't think DC has balls for undoing what Byrne did and bring back the Silver Age Krypton.
Readers who actually liked the Post Crisis comics left in droves a few years ago, they ran away from the crap being produced by DC right now.
That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the origin, it means there's something wrong with the comics being done TODAY.
For example:
Just because the Batman and Robin movie sucked doesn't mean there was something wrong with the original Batman movie.
When WB made Birds of Prey they decided to ignore B&R and go back to Batman Returns (on the TV show Catwoman was blonde and dressed in an outfit similar to the one from the movie, while Barbara wasn't Alfred's niece like in B&R).
Just because that show flopped doesn't mean there was anything wrong with the second movie, it means the show sucked.
So no, I can't say the same about Man of Steel because the problems with the comics today have NOTHING to do with the origin...
"For the simple reason that it hasn't ended"? So if it ended, if anyone ended it, you wouldn't be bitching about how it should stay forever and ever? And why can't you see Superman #150 as an ending? The only people that tell you it isn't an ending are Berganza and the rest of the guys you hate. Now get ready because I'm about to point out another big contradiction: You say WB ignored B&R and went back to Bat-Man Returns and you like that because B&R sucked. I agree with doing that too. That's called selective continuity. Leave what you like, ignore the rest. That's precisely what you considered "pathetic" about my proposal. Another thing: if they had stayed with B&R, that doesn't prevent me from ejoying the first two movies. They're still good, and they can stand on their own. I know a lot of people who saw the second before the first one and had no problem enjoying it. Reading 17 years of comics or watching four two hour movies shouldn't be a requirement for enjoying a story.
