Yes, Weisinger put in alot of junk but it made Superman alot more interesting and, oddly enough, human."<br /><br />Indeed. Supergirl, Krypto, Brainiac, Bizarro, Kandor, the Phantom Zone and its inmates... the Pre-Crisis ingredients of the Superman mythos go back once and again because they expand the mythos and provide an incredibly fertile ground for storytelling.<br /><br />Yes, Beppo the Super-Monkey and the multi-colored Kryptonite was a bit too much, but you don't kill Supergirl and ditch Krypto only because the Kandorians make Superman less unique. It is asinine.<br /><br />"Byrne's stuff was junk and it's high time that it is buried for good."<br /><br />I wouldn't call it junk. Some of it was interesting. I liked that Pa and Ma Kent were still alive when their son was Superman.<br /><br />However I think Byrne's interpretation should be regarded as ''an'' interpretation and not like ''THE'' interpretation, if it makes some sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-62613752381573590452009-11-03T09:17:45.778-05:002009-11-03T09:17:45.778-05:00Thank God DC came to it's senses and finally r...Thank God DC came to it's senses and finally realized that it's those derided silver age elements that made Superman great.

I'm also liking the cherry picking of the best elements of the Silver Age origin. <br /><br />"We understand your Aunt is coming down to help take care of your sister." Does this mean the return of Lena Luthor (a.k.a. Lena Thorul) to continuity?!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681297866387365297noreply@blogger.com
