Hey kids, you know how mommy and daddy have been able to spend time with you lately because our jobs can 100% be done at home? Yeah, that's about to end because commercial real estate owners need to prop up the values of their holdings by making everyone sit in traffic for an extra 12 hours a week

Superman busting through a wall with metal debris flying everywhere. At the bottom center, we can see the hand of someone pointing a futuristic looking gun at Superman.

Hulk Hogan ratted out other wrestlers attempting to unionize to save his own position and paycheck above anyone else's & gladly accepted funding from Peter Thiel for his Gawker court case that paved frequently abused legal precedents for the rich to shut down any media outlets that embarrass them.

It also doesn't help that Mayor Chow wants to drag people out of working from home to back to working in empty offices. Here's an idea, turn those office buildings into affordable apartments.

You basically pitched DC Black Label before DC Black Label became a thing. How long ago was that pitch? Was this before All Star imprint or after?

I do know Alan Moore's Twlight of the Superhero was intened to do something similar what you pitch as well as

Like the 10 year old reader picking up their first Batman comic isn't going to care what Batman did 20 years ago or how it all fits together. They care what they are reading now.

To me, I think DC obsessing over "continuity" is silly, these are stories by various writers & artists created through decades. The modern reader is not the same readers from the 50s, 80s, etc.

It was also a way to bring back other Kryptonians like Supergirl, Zod, Crypto, etc. As well as merging silver age concepts with the modern era.

The smart thing the 2000s writers on Superman did was retcon it by revealing Byrne's Krypton were just fake memories. Like an inverse of Alan Moore in a sense.

I also think Byrne took the immigrant metaphor away from Superman with the whole birthing matrix and Kal was a full born baby on earth once the birthing matrix was complete on earth.

Save money by supporting your local libraries. We need them now more than ever. #libby.app #savelibraries

How about growing small studios instead of mergering studios. We need more competition, more variety in selection, and more job opportunity for talent to thrive. Thriving or not, Film/TV needs new blood EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!!!!!!!

Also a spiritual successor to James Gunn's Super. A low budget Superhero show set in a small town.

My favorite take on the origin of Superman and my favorite Mark Waid book.

Such an underrated X-Men storyline, you and Lonnie killed it. I know it got overshadowed by House of X/Powers of X, bit I think X-Fans need to check this gem out.

I just want to get this straight. The conservative controversy around Superman is that… he’s the good guy in the movie, has a comic-accurate origin as an immigrant, and he’s nice to people? So… they just hate the character Superman? They’re just mad at the 87-year-old character Superman existing?

As the nations lag on climate action, cities across the world step up A new report documents how local communities are becoming more livable and sustainable.

Ten years after the Paris Agreement, nations are still falling short of their commitments to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change.

More than that, they haven’t shown enough follow-through on the goals they set. Instead, it’s been cities and local governments that have taken the lead.

He was such a proflic actor that always brought his A game to the roles he's played. He will be sadly missed.

Don't forget about Gene Luen Yang's contribution to a jeans & t-shirt wearing Superman.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ta-Nehisi Coates' Elseworld Superman film is a take on that concept.

If I was a writer at DC I would pitch a working class jeans/t-shirt wearing Superman for Black Label.

Also I wish Dick Grayson still stayed as Batman, that should be still ongoing to this day.

Grant Morrison's Batman run is still one of my favorite comics DC published in the late 2000s. Even though Batman & Robin is the second half of Morrison's overall run, it's still a great jumping-on point and it remixes 60s Batman with the modern era Bats, while introducing new concepts.

I love it.

We let an illiterate drug addict in a diaper who spent most of his adult life sexually assaulting women, bankrupting business and laundering money for the mob tear up the Iran Nuclear Deal because he’s a racist and then bomb Iran because he was jealous of Netanyahu. Imagine that.
