Y'know, I'm a crazy cat, granted, but I really don't think that was the Kingdom Come Superman.

I say this despite the fact that he was obviously from the future and wore the KC Superman insignia, because:

A. Whatever Batman and Superman are going to do to cause the future Superman to come after them, will be done in the near future. Of course, that's just an assumption.

B. Combine A with the fact that KC Superman has already met present day Superman and Batman before, in 'The Kingdom,' and had no animosity against them. In fact, he was rather cordial to them both.

C. Future Supes said that present day Superman and Bats were going to make a mistake that would cause him to lose them all. Ma, Pa, Jimmy, Perry, Lois, and Bruce. KC Superman lost Jimmy, Perry, and Lois through no fault of his own (though, I suppose, he could have seen it as his fault), and definitely through no fault of Bruce's. He also never lost Bruce.

D. The Kingdom established that there are infinite timelines within hypertime. It could have been another Supes with the KC shield.

Just me playing devil's advocate. Could have been a screw-up by the creative team. Could be that I'm missing something and on the wrong path.

If you can correct me, please do.
