Death Metal has happened and the DCU has been re-written."<br /><br />And who knows what it means. It was said the characters remember "everything" now.<br /><br />But what does it mean? Superman remembers he grew up during the Great Depression and in 1938 moved to Metropolis and started operating as a superhero? Or he remembers he was sent to Earth when he was three, started operating as Superboy, met his dog and joined the Legion after his teenager cousin? The Phantom Zoners whom he fought Mala, Kizo and U-Ban or Jax-Ur, Dru-Zod and Kru-El or Zod, Ursa and Non? How and when his parents died?<br /><br />Kara remembers now being dumped into an orphanage, graduating college and constantly changing cities and jobs before getting killed by the Anti-Monitor? Or she remembers being born AFTER Kal, becoming an honorary Amazon and surviving New Krypton's destruction? She remembers being captured by Simon Tycho and fighting the Wordkillers?<br /><br />"But as far as I can tell, Supergirl didn't have much to do with the victory over the Batman Who Laughs."<br /><br />She made an appearance, she didn't got Jokerized and she didn't become cannon fodder. Sadly, I have to declare that is an improvement.<br /><br />"If you had 'show Matrix in purple goo protoplasm' on your Zero Hour bingo card, place a marker."<br /><br />Bonus points for two COIE #7 references in the issue. The cosmic villain blasting Supergirl through the chest, and Steel holding her in Pietá position.<br /><br />"This also definitely screams 90s comics with Guys power and the Image-y art on most pages."<br /><br />Yes, this is too 90's for my tastes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
