Wut? I haven't been paying attn to this series... reading the reviews and comments... you mean Marvel is doing time travel and alternate timelines? Isn't there some other comic company who consistently gets pooped of for such things? Or, actually, not get pooped on, but hasn't Marvel themselves talked crap about such things?

Silly rant aside, think I'll have to go back and read this. I like this kind of thing tremendously.

Bones gets up, does some light stretches. Takes TWO sonic showers, then washes his hands, then takes another sonic shower. He puts on his uniform, but then starts to question if its truly clean of all bacteria. He removes the uniform and places it in the laundry bin. He puts on another fresh uniform, only to get OCD about that one too. He then requests the replicator make him a new uniform (later the Enterprise's quartermaster will, again, remind Dr McCoy that he has far exceeded his monthly allotment of uniform replications). After washing his hands one more time, he has breakfast in the mess hall. He then returns to his quarters to wash his hands before reporting for duty in the sick bay.

Because... if you really pay attn to all of Dr McCoy's dialog, he's really kind of pathophobic.

Dial H is so different (and thus, GOOD), I'm surprised it lasted this long.

Threshold... WTF is that? I never even heard of it!

I like Batgirl and all, but someone like Zatanna or Martian Manhunter would have added more to the game.

Dr Manhattan, even.

@johnnygat:

Hmm... you're probably right. That would make my friends and I the racist ones for not realizing it! I guess I don't know enough people still going around yelling 'boo yah' or telling everyone 'how real' its about to get. But seeing the list of all the other quotes, I guess my friends and I mis-judged.

Everyone must understand, before I make my statement, that I'm no cheerleader for political correctness. Most of the time I don't notice these things.

BUT... Me and 2 friends are playing Injustice and we are laughing our asses off at Cyborg because he has the most HORRIBLE dialog bits in the game.

I mean seriously... if there was such thing as 'deleted scenes' from Injustice, I'm pretty sure Cyborg's would have things like:

"Taste the flavor of my pimp hand, you jive turkey!"

"Wiggity wack, son!"

"Whatchoo talkin bout? Fry you like chicken!"

Seriously, can someone pull quotes of Cyborg's dialog from the game? Its pretty awful, like it was written by George Lucas or Michael Bay or something. My friends and I, all minorities but none of us black, would laugh, then kind of shake our heads.

Let's remember that Cyborg is the son of a brainy scientist and not from the ghetto... let's also remember that Jax from Mortal Kombat NEVER had dialog so blatantly based on race-profile! Let me also state again, for the record, that I'm not offended by any of it, just think its hilarious they made him speak like some douchebag rapper.

Other than the 'dead' trinity of Earth 2, no other characters have doppelgangers so far (from what I remember). So its possible this is an all-new character OR some old Earth 2 character reimagined as Batman or an Earth 1 character that was dropped from canon after the New52 and being reimagined in the Earth 2 universe.

Hey everybody.... here's one that I'll admit is a silly reach: rich guy with gadgets fight crime.... what if.... Earth 2 Batman replacement ends up being... a much more serious (and buff)...TED KORD? (pleasepleasepleasepleaseplaseplaseasdigjhafehldah.

Kind of having the same thought as all the other comments... not sure how this works when Fox 'owns' them. But then again... is there a Fox employee somewhere who's job is to watch all the hero movies and make sure no mutants ever appear? Seems to me if you changed the costumes, altered the names a little... who would be the wiser? Panda and Wietro, AKA the Scarlet Speedster and Silver Witch! (lol wut?)

Really, can none of us think of any other more valid brother/sister teams from Avengers? (Whedon's quote does state 'from the book' , so you do have to assume we're talking proper Avengers here). I think some of the other named duo's might be a stretch for a film.

Id just rather see something different than an Avengers clone, also i'd like DC to stick with what theyve proven to be experts at already.

This times 1,000. I don't get why people just want to watch Avengers all over again but with Superman and Batman. I want something unique and different. This is why a JL movie makes me wary...

There's also a big change to the new Superman story -- kryptonite isn't in it. Director Zack Snyder broke the news in an interview and it looks like Kal-El's powers are possibly something he had from birth -- making him unique even on his home planet. -- G Katzman

This was some very unfortunate writing on the author's part. I read the original interview being sourced and the author completely misunderstood what he was reading when he read it, and subsequently wrote about it. Reading comprehension?!

Firstly, Superman's powers are not tied to Kryptonite; only his health is affected. So, it's exclusion of it [Kryptonite] in the movie is essentially irrelevant. That statement doesn't imply anything at all about the source of Superman's powers.

Next, in Superman's new origin Kryptonians are all biologically engineered. Kal-El is unique because he was born and not engineered like other Kryptonians.

Lastly, there was no mention in that article that his powers were genetically engineered at all, so it's a complete misunderstanding / gigantic leap of logic to claim that his powers were the result of genetic manipulation, or present at birth, or imply that he's the only Kryptonian with powers. Common sense tells us that since Zod and Faora will need powers to fight Superman in the movie, they have them as well. It's logical to assume that Superman still gains his unique abilities as the result of yellow star radiation and that is as close to having powers at birth as that article suggests.

Horrible article. -1 000 000

Quoting because it deserves to be re-posted. Where in the world did the concept of Kal-El being 'born' with powers ever come from?

I know I am in the minority, but Superboy Prime. Punch reality back to the old DCU.

LMAO... I'd be ok with this. Heck, let's bring back Hank Henshaw as well!!!

Man, it just dawned on me... wouldn't it have been so much better if the First Lantern turned out to be Hank Henshaw?

I will also put my vote in for Ted Kord.
