Tell that to every single Comic Book Fan

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Anything that does not follow the Comics decently enough pretty much = Else Worlds. Like X-Men The last Stand

None of the X-Men films followed comic continuity. Whats your point?

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

lol.....

I don't know if Elseworld's exist in Marvel Comics.

I think they might be called "What If..." for them.

I believe Returns will do it justice, but we wont know till the 30th.

I cant say the same about SV, thats why it will always be Elseworlds to be.

Its pretty much the Supes mythos reinterpreted into a teen soap, the same way Lois and Clark was Superman reinterpreted into a romantic sitcom.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

X-MEN and Spider-Man is kinda funny.........they seemed to follow more in tune with the ULTIMATE line.

 

[The Caped Knight]

I don't like Smallville and I think most true Superman fans would agree they could have made that show so much better. So, I don't really care if the SV fans are happy or not.

SR & SV both borrowing things from the Movies
SV is borrowing things from SR
& who knows what kind of nod SV will probably eventually give to SR (bound to happen)

Hey, the words came from Dan Didio himself. Hes tired of the constant reinterpretations and wants to stick to one universe.

Fortunately, SR is currently having a strong impact on the Superman comic universe; Up, Up and Away is the beginning of SR's influence.

I agree. I'll always consider them very true to the feel of Ultimates.

You think they could have done more too?

Like you said so far none really has so there is no point

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Well, I think SMALLVILLE is an elseworlds for a number of reasons.

For one, all the meeting with these incredible villians.....I mean, current Superman mythos has us believe that Clark had a pretty normal life in Kansas......although, I've heard rumors that might change since IC.

Meeting Lois before he get to Metropolis, getting to the Fortress of Solitude while not being Superman, an added character like Chloe.......those are just dramatic changes.....and honestly, calling it an elseworld makes sense for comic fans, and it's what keeps a couple from going crazy over it.

 

[Kane]

The what is BATMAN YEAR 100 classified as?

Beats me. He said as of 2006, theyre ending it (the point of IC was to solidify the DC universe once and for all).....it also makes me wonder whats gonna happen to All-Stars too.

 

[fangrl06]

I agree. I'll always consider them very true to the feel of Ultimates.

Why do you say that?

 

[MoviesKickAss]

we wont know till the 30th

You mean 29th

Its Midnight / 10:00 Premiere is the 28th

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Dont forget Jor-El being an evil bastard and Clark's foolishness leading to Jonathan Kent's death.

Also Lana being the love of Clark's life.. Taking the classic Clark/Lana thing to an extreme.

Dido is nuts.....

Like you said so far none really has so there is no point

The thing is continuity is the most confusing thing to really define for comics.....it's like this huge debate, and it's really a pain at time....

 

[Kane]

who the **** let you back on the Hype?

Thats not relevant to this discussion.

......

 

[Kane]

Dido is nuts.....

Eh Hes a cool guy. I think e knows this stuff really well after seeing him in person and has a good gauge on what is in DC's best interests.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Well, there's hints that Lana was his high school sweetheart, in the comics.

SV just made it so ****ing heavy though......

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

I guess it's a good thing SR isnt taking any liberties with any of the characters then

 

[Kane]

......

I could go on but meh. You get the drift.

It just doesnt appeal to me. I mean to be fair, SR has the potential not to appeal to me if its a complete departure from the mythos also... and I'm prepared to be very disapointed if that happens.

But I'm holding out faith that it isnt the case....Superman is about hope afterall.
