The now NEW Official DC Stupid Questions thread: Didio Headaches - Part 2

[HighFivingMF]

you got the feeling in the show that Superman would be dead if he was hit too many times.

Isn't that pretty much the meaning of "too many times?"

"If you hit him more than enough times to make him die, he'd be dead."

 

[MadVillainy]

where is Metropolis Located

 

[HighFivingMF]

where is Metropolis Located

Mostly New York, sometimes Delaware.

 

[CConn]

I think it's mostly Delaware, sometimes New York.

 

[Anubis]

Should be Delaware, often times New York.

And Gotham should be in Jersey.

 

[The Question]

New York already had New York. Delaware doesn't have ****. I live in Worcester, Massachusetts. It's the second largest city in the state after Boston, being about a fourth of the size, and holds no significance of any kind of anyone who doesn't live in Massachusetts. And I'm pretty sure we're bigger than the capitol city of Delaware.

 

[Anubis]

Yup. I don't know why mofo's keep saying New York. New York has the "Best City in the World " In New York City.....they don't f**kin' need Gotham AND Metropolis. One major city per state please.

 

[The Question]

Yup. I don't know why mofo's keep saying New York. New York has the "Best City in the World " In New York City.....they don't f**kin' need Gotham AND Metropolis. One major city per state please.

It's actually quite implausible. Major cities will, to an extent, compete with other major cities for resources, business, and tourism. It's part of why no one outside of Massachusetts has heard of my city. The bulk of the cool things in the state opt to happen in Boston instead.

 

[MadVillainy]

I thought Gotham was in Conneticut

 

[Manic]

Gotham is far too interesting to be in Connecticut.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah....Gotham being a s**t hole needs to be in the state that is pretty much known for being a s**t hole....and that's Jersey.

 

[Jordacar]

What's the story(s) where Hugo Strange wears a batsuit, and where can I read it?

 

[DawnWarrior]

Has Lex Luthor ever been to the Phantom Zone?

 

[HighFivingMF]

Has Lex Luthor ever been to the Phantom Zone?

Yep. At the end of his final appearance before Flashpoint.

 

[WompuM]

In Action Comics? That dealt with the Phantom Zone? I don't remember that aspect. I remember him finding some sort of cosmic energy that was somewhat related to Black energy. And then Superman beat him up.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought Metropolis was a midwestern city, like Chicago. Isn't Smallville, KA only like a few hours' drive from it?

 

[spiderbob]

Map of DC Earth

That should help. Don't know if it's official or not, but it seems pretty accurate.

Metropolis is apparently in Delaware, which I guess, relatively speaking, is only a few hours away from Smallville, Kansas.

 

[WompuM]

What!? Opal is on the east cost? I always thought of it as a west coast city. Don't know why.

 

[Anubis]

Duh, it was settled by puritans. That would be 1600's. Before Westward expansion. Use your logic broseph.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

There's a comic that specifically notes Opal City was settled by Puritans?

 

[DawnWarrior]

Map of DC Earth

I like it. Thanks.

Why does the current staff of DC hate Wally West to the point of erasing him from their new universe?

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Why has nobody gotten over it yet?

I mean, don't get me wrong. I miss Wally a lot. But it's been 8 months. Bringing it up every week isn't gonna change anything.

 

[WompuM]

Yep. Because Hal Jordan never came back.

 

[spiderbob]

Why does the current staff of DC hate Wally West to the point of erasing him from their new universe?

According to Dan Didio

Potential Whereabouts

Comiccritics had a funny comic about the issue as well, but it contains vulgarity, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

Hope that helps.
