I think there's hints of this from...Thank ya! <br /><br />I think there's hints of this from the very beginning too. Like when Wonder Woman spears Lois to drive out Kaiyo. I mean, there was no trick there, she flat out stabbed the woman without a thought. And Superman nonchalantly patched her right up. Furthermore Lois herself wasn't in the least bit concerned either. Kinda displays perfectly right there how they were all just so accustomed to winning.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-70511276889583777102013-10-23T19:34:46.402-04:002013-10-23T19:34:46.402-04:00That is a great comment Jay.

They think they can handle whatever is thrown at them and that leads to their downfall.<br /><br />That is why that 'teachable moment' panel is so big. It shows the flaws of both sides.<br /><br />Thanks for articulating it better than me!Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-24042798218096896482013-10-23T18:50:46.907-04:002013-10-23T18:50:46.907-04:00I don't think its as much a sad commentary on ...I don't think its as much a sad commentary on the state of the New 52, but rather our first glimpse of a flaw in the original Earth 2 Trinity. Hubris. We know the young Prime Earth Bruce and Clark flaws, we saw them clearly, but finally Pak gave us a flaw to the others. They're so confident in themselves that they too can, in their own way, act a bit reckless because of that over-confidence. Its understandable of course, they're fantastic heroes and their world at that point is damn near utopian, but its a flaw nonetheless that they pay dearly for. I think its this, just as much as the Prime Earth heroes' more dangerous nature, that goes into explaining why Prime Earth repelled Darkseid himself and why Earth 2 fell to Steppenwolf and his army.Jaynoreply@blogger.com
