Nope, I'm talking about the Krypton in BR.
It is a futuristic Earth-like world that Jor-El compared to Heaven.
Quote: When has Perry ever been interesting?? My hope for a long time is that Perry would be bumped up to a guardian of Metropolis much in the same vein as Jim Gordon is in Batman's books. If you think though, that giving Perry a soap opera subplot involving failed marriages and troubles with his son makes for 3D characterization, I have to disagree. Plus what? Birthright is just starting out. How much characterization did Perry have halfways thru Byrne's MOS anyways?
BR is 12 issues and makes up the modern origin.
MoS continued in the World of... minis, making it an 18 issue origin.
Perry was the star of the four issue World of Metropolis mini series.
Quote: Plus Lex in Smallville has been a constant from the Silver Age to todays TV show. ONLY Byrne's MOS didn't have a Smallville Lex. So MOS is the exception. Not a problem IMO.
The movie didn't have Lex in Smallville.
The 1988 CBS toon didn't have Lex in Smallville.
The 90's animated series didn't have Lex in Smallville.
The Adventures of Superman TV show back in the 50's didn't have Lex in Smallville.
Lois & Clark didn't have Lex in Smallville.
I *think* that the Super Powers toon didn't have Lex in Smallville.
Superfriends didn't have Lex in Smallville.
Justice League didn't have Lex in Smallville.
Only the Silver Age comics, Birthright, the Smallville TV show and the Superboy TV have had Lex in Smallville.
Lex in Smallville, as an idea, is in the minority.
Quote: I just think you're trying to tear down Birthright using any argument that you make up on the fly.
Lois has ALWAYS been a victim. Since 1938 even. She's also always been headstrong and stubborn. That is why she gets herself in situations where she needs rescue. That is as much a staple of Superman the character as his cape!
Eh, no.
Lois wasn't a victim to be rescue between 86 and 99. She proved on more than one occasion that she had what it takes to get in and out of trouble on her own.
She didn't need Superman before he came to Metropolis or when he was dead.
She didn't need someone in spandex to rescue her during that era.
Comics are like a Rorschach test; everyone has a different opinion on what they are and can be...
