I think there is some of that in season 1 of Justice League, but it's subtext. Or fanon. We'll see when we get there.)LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-40124597611745518672016-10-11T22:43:52.819-03:002016-10-11T22:43:52.819-03:00Other Anonymous - the difference is, Kirby never i...Other Anonymous - the difference is, Kirby never intended for Darkseid and Apokolips to be a never-ending source of people that Superman had trouble punching into submission. That's how they were treated in this cartoon and it has become increasingly common in comics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-2935520443529006752016-10-11T22:29:59.271-03:002016-10-11T22:29:59.271-03:00FYI -Jack Kirby is responsible for the New Gods be...FYI -Jack Kirby is responsible for the New Gods being part of the Superman mythos by way of his work on the Jimmy Olsen and Forever People comicbooks back in the early 1970s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-47520851050732585582016-10-11T10:38:40.002-03:002016-10-11T10:38:40.002-03:00Hated it.
I can't complain about the mechanic...Hated it.<br /><br />I can't complain about the mechanics of the episode, but this episode did a couple things I don't easily forgive: it pulled the trigger on "what if Superman were someone people couldn't trust?", and it helped cement Apokolips as a force that Superman regularly fights (and thus is in close contact with the regular DC Universe). The DCAU has influenced the comics in lots of ways, and usually for the good ... but an untrusted Superman and an ever-looming Apokolips were bad ideas that unfortunately everyone else has run with.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the season 2 premiere of "Supergirl" just happened, with Superman in it no less! And goddamn he's nearly perfect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
