I thought about that, but it didn’t seem to have a connection beyond the term.
Pocket Universe Supergirl is still my favorite one.

Rounding Up the Easter Eggs in “Superman” | DC Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a ton of deep cut comic book references!

All the Easter eggs I spotted in @jamesgunn.bsky.social ‘s Superman. www.dc.com/blog/2025/07...

@joshualapinbertone.bsky.social and I are rating Supermans based on how likely they were to have dated a mermaid in college. Corenswet may be the most likely in the live action category

Posting this for no reason

I see so many people say variations of “Guy Gardner became mean after is coma because of brain damage,” but like…where was that established? What issue? I know about the JLI joke about Batman punching him and him becoming nice until he got hit again, but that’s a diff thing.

As a children’s caregiver, Disney’s Elio comes through for foster families in the same way the live-action Lilo & Stitch failed to Pixar's Elio and Disney's live-action Lilo & Stitch have the same plot, but different answers (and problems) for foster kids and their families

I wrote about how Elio comes through for foster families, while Lilo & Sitch failed. www.thepopverse.com/movies-disne...

I can’t believe the HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON remake ends with Hicup putting Toothless into foster care.

Forever obsessing over Finley, Jim Gordon’s butler who had a single appearance in 1952’s Batman #71.

. @alexjaffe.bsky.social and I are in a DC group chat where I once worked out how every version of Julie Madison across multiple continuities (the princess, the actress, the social worker) could all be the same person in a very interesting biography.

This premise of this intro sequence is simple enough, but then it gets WEIRD around 0:51 in. It’s like midway through the song the executives said, “We need something more high concept.”

Captain America press screening

Lots of Corenswet/Gunn shirts being worn at Megacon. Those who say there isn’t any hype for the movie need to look around.

If you’re attending Megacon, come say hi to me! I’ll be here through Sunday covering the convention for Popverse. Fair warning, I’ll be dashing in and out of panels and writing articles most of the time.

Good catch! Thanks

Especially during the Tom Lyle era!

My headcanon is Ariana responded by saying, “I KNOW! I always knew. It was obvious! You saved me from the KGBeast and your mask isn’t that big.”

Cool! Thanks for the insight. In other news, I can now update the “every Robin’s first kiss” section of this guide I wrote! www.dc.com/blog/2021/11...

Question for @bhay.bsky.social ....were the boys meant to be drawn in their civies here, or did Ariana find out Tim was Robin? Great job on the fun story Branden and Stephen! Glad Damian finally got his first kiss!
