When Alex Luthor created the “heaven” dimension where the four heroes escaped, it was built from the remnant energies of the Multiverse and closed around them like a cocoon. The pounding on a wall built from the Multiverse, affected a universe still resonating with the Multiverse, thereby changing time and history. Simple? Next up, Grant Morrison explains Hypertime.
Does he seriously not feel like a fucking idiot when he says shit like that? I mean, how can we publish things like this and expect the mainstream to accept comic books as a legitimate artform?
Just as we now look back on 50s sci-fi as silly but oddly cool nonetheless, one day, Daniel, in the far future, someone will look back on this and say, "What a hilariously kitsch plot device! Superboy Prime changed reality with punches!"
There could have been a variety of other ways to have done this, ranging from blaming Darkseid and a nasty machine utilising the Anti-Life Equation, to a mature and simple: "Ok, we accept you're adults, we're just going to change some stuff, ok?"
Instead, we have that ubiquitous plot vehicle of superhero comics, the punch, doing the editing.
And in the meantime, until that kitsch, happy day, we have Vertigo, and other adult titles to keep us sane.
