Phy posted:He's on neither the dark nor the far side, though given the positioning of the sun it looks like he just emerged from a lunar eclipse. So there was no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact it was all dark. There's a caption box on the panel saying "THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON". I guess maybe he's chilling out listening to some Pink Floyd?

At some point I think DC just decided they'd have a continuity reboot once a decade anyway, so there was no real reason for any given continuity reboot to fix continuity problems like the Crisis on Infinite Earths was supposed to. Heck, it's better for them to leave more problems in, it gives them a better excuse for the next continuity reboot.

He's obviously right on the edge of the dark side of the moon. You can see the light side of the moon right next to him. Bruce is in the Watchtower so he just barely has line of sight to Superman. This makes perfect sense.

Say Nothing posted:Remember when pre-crisis Superman would rear end-pull any stupid power he needed? I don't recall which movie it was where the great wall of China got busted and Superman needed to get to fixing it so he used his fixing the great wall of China ray on the great wall of China to fix it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfwHe0NqVvY It may have been the same movie with the amnesia kiss powers or the one where he could split into two different people then shed his outer layer in order to fix his clothes powers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_XjgF43U4U&t=159s I'm pretty sure that was the movie that revealed his weakness to plastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lw79TG7cGs&t=61s Which only further cements the superman Roy Orbison connection. http://michaelkelly.artofeurope.com/karl.htm  Which makes a lot of sense since Roy Orbison/Superman toured with the Beatles in 1963.

Also, his super mathematics got him the wrong answer. 20 * 16 * 10 is 3200, not 32000.

Evidently I am easily tricked. I've now seen the Green Lantern one and it's much more obvious, but I could easily see that one being an actual Silver Age comic, and I could just as easily Morrison deciding it'd be a great basis for a big crossover storyline.

Ignite Memories posted:Wait, so superman's sunlight-based power includes regenerating his clothes now? Pre-Crisis, the suit was made out of speshul Kryptonian fabric that regenerated and repaired itself under a yellow sun, but since Superman routinely fights in places WITHOUT a yellow sun present (which is why I never understood why he could keep kicking rear end off-world, especially in a place like Apokolips), it's since been amended that the suit (but not the cape) is protected by Superman's 'aura' of invulnerability. Either explanation works here - either the ~divine sunlight~ allowed him to regenerate and make his suit even more badass, or the sunlight merely regenerated his 'aura' and he *thought* the suit back to normal. The red glow around him seems to suggest the latter. The book Irredeemable didn't have anything to do with Superman, but it did float a lot of potential theories that are applicable. The main 'superhero' in that one goes 'insane' in the same sense Joker does, sort of - just decides one day to go from being the greatest hero to the biggest villain. Turns out, he's the 'child' of these two benevolent aliens who were assigned to watch Earth, and despite having Superman-level powers, he doesn't understand them. He's more or less 'Q' from TNG-era Star Trek, and never knows it.

Jubilee is on the right, Storm in the center, I assume the kitten on the right is Shogo. That leaves the two on the left: Emma (?) and the Omega Sentinel (?)
