More BS from the editor that can't make up his mind, Mxy.

If he was going to allow for the inclusion of three Supermen from three different realities then why the fuck do Superman #200, the Godfall arc and include BR as the one and only origin, why not let it be its separate thing from the start?

Like I said, more BS.

Unlike you I don't need three, four or five different Supermen in comics, one is more than enough.

See, before Berganza fuck head, reading Superman comics was a great thing.

I'd get 52 Superman comics a year, all consistant with each other and all telling one continous story.

Now to please the fuck heads like KKK and others the titles have to be broken into THREE different versions or they'll whine that DC has no balls for sticking with Byrne's version.




I knew it. I wish you could hear how this stuff sounds outside your head. I don't give a fuck about the Godfall arc or Superman #200 or whatever.
You don't need three Supermen, you need one: that's precisely the point. If you want one, buy one. It won't kill you to have one Superman comic every month, will it? You have three to choose at the same time. That's the first real effort to please everyone that DC has done. Yet you can't appreciate it because you need something to bitch about. You just can't stand the fact that other people will enjoy a different version at the same time so you won't even enjoy the one that's being handed to you. When you read a story you don't think "Hmm, this character is interesting... I didn't see that coming... Great dialogue... Nice twist..." Instead you think "This doesn't link to Man of Steel... This doesn't link to Man of Steel... This doesn't link to Man of Steel... oh, look man-boobs! But this doesn't link to Man of Steel..."

Things started getting lame before Berganza arrived. The same guys who told amazing Superman stories couldn't come up with one decent story arc anymore. There were good stand-alone stories but they became less and less as time passed.

"DC has no balls to stick with Man of Steel"? Actually, sticking with Man of Steel would be the easy choice. They don't have to make any effort to improve the stories. They just have to be careful not to contradict anything and preserve the status quo. So a writer wants to be original and do something cool that contradicts Man of Steel? Fuck him, we have twenty lame writers willing to do simple little stories that don't contradict anything.
What DC did instead was very smart: they realized Superman fandom was split in two parts, one that wants the Silver Age and one that wants the Modern Age (we should find it a new name since there's nothing modern about it anymore), so they simply gave each part their version so they'd stop bitching. They even threw in an explanation, for those who give a fuck. And on top of that they bring a new darker version to attract new readers.
