I honestly really loved the New 52 Earth-2. I wish DC gave it the exposure of Marvel's Ultimate universe. There was a serious missed opportunity for people to not hate the 52, by making it about 52 new UNIVERSES in the newly reformed multiverse instead of the full main continuity reboot.
Personally I really appreciate DC sticking to one universe outside of some very special events like DCeased, but the new-52 earth 2 could have been a separate run entirely given how many of these characters are so fleshed out with so few stories told.
I liked it until they weren't calling the justices society the justice society and they wanted to make everything about sexual this and sexual that gay characters they didn't have to go that route and now it's destroyed one of DC's founding characters Alan Scott because they transferred that to the real Alan Scott not the fake one that was in this story but the first 15 or 16 issues that James Robinson wrote other than the gay thing we're awesome with Superman coming back and I really believed it was Superman and it turning out to be Earth to bizarro that was a great plot twist
Yep it got me back into comics after probably around 18 years of not reading any comics I never understood why it got so much hate I thought it had some great reads in it
@@theQuickining It does, but people are upset that they tried to completely change the continuity. The biggest complaint I see is that Earth-1 has race swaps & some canonically straight characters that were made gay. I agree that those aspects of the story were 100% unnecessary & honestly dumb & annoying. That said, I'd have had no problem with any of it had they made it specifically just another set of universes.. The stories ranged in my opinion from 4-8/10 on average with stories like this one being a rather rare 10/10 for me in the new 52. I think it's 100% fair for people to feel how they do about it whether it's that they love it or hate it.
To this day I still get mad thinking about all the plans James Robinson had for this book, the meeting of earth 2's justice society and earth 0 league earth 2 lantern and swamp thing DC really messed up here.
Man this story was awesome! It's cool seeing the stories of the originals, but man seeing this alternate universe with alternate versions of the heroes and their stories was really cool. Thank you for all your hard work!
N52 Earth-2 😮 World’s End, Convergence, and Society with World of the Wonders was interesting take on the Prime Earth-0 heroes. 👋😏 Comicstorian - you need to add “Earth-2 Society” story…? Would like to know how Helena Wayne doing as Batman (and Dick Grayson’s son John as “Robin”)? Wondering they reappear because Val-Zod Superman and Lois Red Tornado made an appearance in Adventures of Jon Kent Superman mini story (forgot if they are still Phantom Zone?)
@@Elyseon they do her so dirty in arkum knight joker has her in a room n releases joker fear toxin mix it makes her shoot herself infronf of Batman who then gets a call from her boyfriend Tim drake who tells Batman he hasn’t heard from her in a while and is asking if she is ok only for Batman to tell Tim she’s fine and that he just talked to her I was baffled
Okay what's so great about there being a black Batman how much sense does that even make That's like saying okay white Martin Luther King go hard lol it's stupid
@@BruceWayne-ri4wr well if the multiverse exists in real life their probably is one 😅 im curious as too why you are so mad about it so sensitive its fake and make believe🤣
1:28:21 I like how they made a New god's blood glowing white just like how in the War World Saga and how they made a white son out of an old god's blood. They called the blood Genesis.
He was a Bizarro made by Darkseid. This Darkseid avatar was one of the strongest and had a whole trophy room of dead Supermen. He used those bodies to create Brutaal I believe.
This video is cool But if you wanna really read Earth 2 I made a rough checklist. Earth 2 Saga: Huntress 1-6 (2011) Mr.Terrific 1-8(2011) Worlds Finest 0-32(2012) Earth 2 1-32(2012) DC Comics Presents #0 Worlds End 1-26(2014) Convergence 0-8(2015) Earth 2 Society 0-22 Adventures of Superman : Jon Kent 1-6(2023)
Story is fire up until a certain point then it drops off hard. Think Convergence was when it got bad for me, absolutely adored it up to that point. A true Earth vs Apokalips fight.
This is probably my 4th time listening to this story. It never gets old. A good story can be turned into a great story depending on who the narrator is. My 1st story under comicstorian was deadpool and X-force. Talk about Great Crazy story..AMAZING 🔥 Also (jason Todd) Redhoods entire story❤️
I loved this series but at a certain point it became a misery-fest. You see Superman kinda sorta die three times BEFORE the planet blows up. Plus, it was Alan Scott click bait that got me into comics. So for his fiance to *immediately* die and for Alan to never get another relationship didn't sit right with me.
Superman is distant descendant of Kryptonian god Rao. So, he is demi-god, fraction god and fraction Kryptonian. AND he has a codex in his veins, meaning he is Kryptonian equivalent of genetic prodigy/super soldier. Superman is meant to be the big gun. That is kinda his thing, just like how Batman is paranoid and untrustworthy. Also, realistically speaking, Superman’s powers are the most based in science. And, in all honesty, somebody with Superman’s abilities should resemble Dr. Manhattan more in terms of move set and style of fighting. Superman is a walking star. A nuclear reactor that can swallow a planet whole. Sun is 15 million times bigger than Earth. And our sun is not even the biggest star out there. So, if anything, Superman is often depicted as underpowered. If we take cosmic scale into effect, Superman should cause global earthquakes every time he walks, and turn cities into ash and dust every time he sneezes. THAT is how much energy a solar flare can do. And from perspective of a STAR, solar flare is just “poof” on it’s surface. Superman is so strong because that is who he is. Just like Manhattan - energy-based characters are very god-like. DC was always about “gods trying to be human”. If you prefer “humans try to be gods”, Marvel is a better pick
Earth 2 could have been better if it wasn’t the end of the earth story arc. i would do earth 2 Society different. Ted Grant should’ve have been Wildcat, Red Arrow originally was going to be name Roy McQueen a mixed of Oliver Queen and Roy harper instead of Connor Hawke. Terry Solan being a bad guy was a mistake to the legacy of JSA he should’ve been MR. Terrific of Earth 2. Alan Scott being Gay was not a good idea they could have created a new gay character. we didn’t see Doctor mid Nite or the spectre or Starman. they should’ve had Kent Nelson as Doctor Fate. wish they used other JSA Villains too. and they could do a time-skip to Add new heroes like Earth 2 superman Val, fury as Wonder woman and Dick as Batman and add Star-Spangled Kid. the beginning should be Alan Scott Green Lantern CO Leader, Jay Garrick as the Flash CO Leader, Hawkgirl Kendra Saunders, Al Pratt The Atom, Rex Tyler The Hourman, Golden Age Black Canary, Kent Nelson as Doctor Fate, and Ted Grant as Wildcat. to fight the Injustice Society. other would join the JSA or like Wesley Dodds as the Sandman, Carter Hall the Hawkman, Terry Solan as Mister Terrific. the world army come later same members Sonia Sato Red Arrow, adding Hawkman, Star-Spangled Kid, Starman, Stripesy, Doctor mid Nite and others to start off as not allies to the JSA because the World Army loyal to the government and don't trust the JSA early because they are not link or working with the government. the Atom doesn’t joined the World Army. the Spectre come to alert the heroes that the JSA and World Army must all world together against the invasion of aliens. i'll keep Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman and other heroes died saving the world years ago the JSA would fought with Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman's rouge’s gallery.

@@kingol4801 i could never get into Manga. I saw some anime and they had some crazy writing, too. I saw Dragonball Z and the characters took like 15 minutes to power up and the person that they were fighting just watched instead of attacking. I don’t know if the Manga version is like that or not.
No he's done this story before and yes Allen Scott was gay out of everything that happened in this story the green lanterns sexuality caught your attention?
@@daniel-qg1nc 🤣🤣no it's ok sorry I was trying to be aggressive or anything just surprised me but I'm pretty sure there's been a gay version of every JL member
Meh? There's a lot going on in this story, one gay green lantern doesn't change the stakes. If the green lantern is an avatar of nature, red tornado is downloaded memory copy of Lois, and the flash is imbued with the literal power of a god, the addition of a gay character or a black superman only makes the world more colorful.
Gosh if only DC could have just left this as the homosexual Green lantern and not destroyed one of my favorite characters Alan Scott The man has children for God's sakes He's not a homosexual why would they destroy this man's history like this just for the sake of appeasing some 1/10 of 1/10 of 1% of comic fans that are actually homosexuals
So the wedding ring that a dude was going to give another dude is the during lantern ring I love this story when it happened but now that I see it again that's just so ridiculous two men committing an abomination by doing God knows what with each other and trying to marry each other should not create a superhero lol I'm sorry I can understand a super villain because it's evil but not a superhero
? In this day and age you are still a bigot and homophobic? Talk about a loving fossil. Let people be. Nobody is harmed and if they are of age and capable of consent, god can be their cheerleader. From a perspective of moral philosophy, there is no issue whatsoever. And from perspective of evolution, that is honestly more moral, since gay couples don’t procreate (don’t unnecessarily contribute to overpopulation) and tend to adopt (take care of children in need). You a really need to re-evaluate your ideology. Since morality, science and common sense oppose you.
Rest in Peace Benny ❤

I couldn't agree with u more! The new 52 was an amazing run that will always hold a special place in my heart.
Personally I really appreciate DC sticking to one universe outside of some very special events like DCeased, but the new-52 earth 2 could have been a separate run entirely given how many of these characters are so fleshed out with so few stories told.

Seriously, New 52 ruined a lot of characters. Just look at what they did to Starfire.
I will always stay by the new 52, no matter what anyone says. DC took a risk and it got me and plenty more people into comics.

Have to admit the green lantern change was a surprise
Can y’all do more superman comics or Batman vs biggby

So what was ever happened to Aqua-woman and her secret weapon?! She was never mentioned again.
Love you BUD RIH still watching since 2k18
30:20 that frame on the left
These origins fye af frfr
Every time i hear Steppenwolf i think about how much i likebto dream right between the sound machine.
Brutaal where did he come from idk if I missed it but where did he come from
He was a Bizarro made by Darkseid. This Darkseid avatar was one of the strongest and had a whole trophy room of dead Supermen. He used those bodies to create Brutaal I believe.
Why didn't you include Earth 2 Society?
This video is cool
But if you wanna really read Earth 2
I made a rough checklist.
Earth 2 Saga:
Huntress 1-6 (2011)
Mr.Terrific 1-8(2011)
Worlds Finest 0-32(2012)
Earth 2 1-32(2012)
DC Comics Presents #0
Worlds End 1-26(2014)
Convergence 0-8(2015)
Earth 2 Society 0-22
Adventures of Superman : Jon Kent 1-6(2023)
If the story actually ended there, I'm sure we wouldn't be getting radio silence.
Wow ! 😮 what a beautiful and perfect story ❤️.
Thomas is just tweaker batman "what happens if i inject this?"
This story from the new 52 is awesome
Is it bad I'm glad Superman sat up there and offed the elites? Lol
Great story. The ending was weak but the rest of the story 10/10.
Story is fire up until a certain point then it drops off hard.
Think Convergence was when it got bad for me, absolutely adored it up to that point. A true Earth vs Apokalips fight.
Been obsessed with Earth 2 Superman
Wasn't Earth 2 where The Crime Syndicate was 🤔
The crime syndicate was from earth 3
🤨🤨🤨
He must be the weakest green lantern I've ever seen.
Not a Lantern,no matter what they say.
POLAND MENTIONED

Also (jason Todd) Redhoods entire story❤️
So is this version of Earth-2 supposed to be the "Ultimate Universe" of DC Comics?
Technically, the flash should be able to run on air
I forgot Convergence kept New Earth alive.
37:40
55:16
1:09:09
1:13:23
1:40:17 DC equivalent of Secret Wars
Stepenwolf was on earth the whole 5 years?!
This would be an awesome 4 part movie! LOTR style!
24:58 - Heil H-word reference
Holy shit hawk girl with guns
So that happened, I
Liked it.
