No, you just have a 2Robins and a pissed off Nightwing saying: "Don't call me Robin." :p
 
You do actually but one of them is "dead" Jaspn Todd, Tim Drake, and now Stephanie Brown.
 
I have a question regarding Superman - Has he ever been shot with Kryptonite bullets?

I was wondering because I would think that the villain (Lex Luthor) would have a few done for a machine gun and then shoot him. Superman does not dodge bullets but stops them with his chest so wouldn't he just die.

He has most recently in Superman/Batman #1. He didnt die but he was pretty close to it.

Thanks Darthphere :)

Why did he not die, was it surgically removed allowing him to heal?

Plus if it was aimed for his head would he not just instantly die?
 
Batman removed it while they were being buried alive. he had to do it quick too cause it was healing fast.

And probolly, but who the hell shoots people in the head in comics?

Did he remove it while they were buried? I thought Alfred took it out at the Cave, I gotta go reread it.

Also the bullet was taken in out in issue #2.

I got two questions..

1. Does anybody know where to get the other two Green Arrow The Longbow Hunters trades? They are called Dragon Hunt and Tracking Snow. I can't find them anywhere.

2. Is the DC Comics Presents a on going? cuz I thought there was only gonna be four and now I see a Superman coming up.
 
No I got that but there are two more books to the Longbow hunters. Book two is Dragon Hunt, and three is Tracking Snow. It covers the relationship and I'm asumeing impregnating of shado by GA, and the repurcussions of it all.

And

so how many are they making? cuz so far, the Green Lantern one was the best, the rest kinda stunk.

Have you tried Mile High or Ebay?

Not sure but I know its not an ongoing. Hawkman is another one coming out.
 
No I haven't. Doesn't seem like they reprinted them when they reprinted the first book, so I may have to try those two.

and

I already got Hawkman, I think Byrne was doing it. Wasn't that bad really. Julie was in it.
 
I looked on ebay for you a while back, nothing.
 
The DC Comics Presents has a month left before it ends. Upcoming are: Superman, Flash, Atom and the JLA. Stan Lee is doing one of them, not sure which one though. I think it's Superman.
I thought it started strong with the Batman issue, which I loved, then really went straight to crap. The Adam Strange sucked tremendous balls, I thought Hawkman was kinda boring but I did like the Green Lantern issue.

Superman also possesses a healing factor ala Wolverine. He was healing rapidly around the Kryptonite bullet, so Batman couldn't remove it before Metallo buried them.
I don't know if a head-shot would kill him, at least not instantly. Not with his healing factor. It makes me think of the most recent issue of Wolverine where Logan ran over Sabertooth with a Hummer, trapped him under the front wheel and stabbed him in the top of the head with one of his claws. The brain was damaged, but Sabertooth will be back next issue for sure.
Sabertooth's healing factor will keep him alive, even though he took a 10-inch adamantium claw through the brain. Since Superman possesses the same kind of power... yeah.
But the effects of Kryptonite on Superman would certainly hurt him more. It would probably ALMOST kill him, it would certainly KO him and probably put him in a coma. If the bullet stayed there for a while, he'd die without a doubt. It wouldn't take too long.
Kryptonite has really had all of its threat taken away as of late... what with Chuck Austen actually pumping liquid K into Superman's blood stream and them Superman survived... then hopped out of bed and fought a Super-Villain 10 minutes later.
Oh, and Ra’s Al Ghul’s League of Shadows stole Kryptonite from the Batcave and made Kryptonite bullets once. I don’t remember if they were already in bullet-form when they stole them or not. But that was in the Trinity, which I’ve heard isn’t in continuity. Which is a REAL shame because that book was awesome as hell.

It's funny you should bring up K's effectiveness, because I was just talkin about that with my brother and I mentiond that in Kingdom Come, eventually Kryptonite wont even hurt him anymore because of all the solar rays he's abosorbed over the years. By then the only thing that could kill him would be Magic. Maybe thats where Supes is going in the future. Virtually indestructable.
 
Well, you could probably chalk it up to him at least having some kind of immunity to it. God knows it's been used enough.

Anyhow, on a more reasonable note, I don't think he's a whole lot more tougher/powerful in the future, just a bit more. Captain Marvel was still batting him around and hurting him physically, and if all of those bombs hit, he more or less would of been killed.
 
Marvel is a hero powered by magic though ;) therefore he should be able to whoop on Supes.

He isn't physically magical though, same with people like The Juggernaut. His strength doesen't manifest physically, he don't see him punching people and magic blazing from his fists. He has the strength of Hercules, which is formidable, but not magical. His lighting on the other hand is purely or damned close magical.

Thanks for the answer.:) That pretty much explains it for me.
