      Jon Kent and Tim Drake. I love that Tim Drake is such a threat to the machinations of multiversal threat that they had to take him off the playing field. That just confirms that I chose right in making him my favorite DC Character.

  • @TheInfiniteDraw
    @TheInfiniteDraw 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I don't really understand why you're making this so complicated. It's not. New 52 Superman existed and had his own distinct back story, and post crisis pre flashpoint Superman also existed with his own history. Whatever caused the New 52 to happen, whether it be Flashpoint or Dr. Manhattan, two distinct Supermen existed. Then New 52 Superman died and turned to energy, which later merged with pre flashpoint Superman, making an all new Superman with both histories existing in one person.

    • @isaiahweston6654
      @isaiahweston6654 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      But it’s not both history’s in one it culmination of both origins making it one which means the timeline doesn’t add up because if he neve existed and simultaneously existed how does that make sense. New 52 Superman was macking with WW pretty hard yet he had a family with Lois at the same time. Like huh?

    Was it really that confusing to readers for DC to say "We had 2 Supermen. One from the Pre-Flashpoint universe, one from the New 52. New 52 Superman died, and now Pre-Flashpoint Superman has come back out of hiding to replace him. There were 3 Clark Kents, but one of them was Mxy, who wanted to fix the whole 'New 52 Lois Lane revealed New 52 Superman's secret identity' thing". At what point did we lose them?

      @siljeheart 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not really Mr. Jurgens said-
      Superman and Wonder Woman’s DCU Romance is No Longer in Continuity. Superman and Wonder Woman were never a thing. The confirmation that Clark and Diana’s New 52 romance has been retconned comes courtesy of current Action Comics scribe Dan Jurgens, in response to a tweet by a fan.
      ‘We gave the broad strokes in Action, which made things fairly clear,” tweeted Jurgens. “No romantic relationship with WW, for example.”

  • @9_theNightHawk
    @9_theNightHawk 7 ปีที่แล้ว +133

    This particular story comic just makes explaining Superman's current canon history that much more confusing.
    The split Superman theory was perfectly fine, it fit with the N52/Rebirth landscape and allowed writers to have their younger, more inexperienced Clark but also the old one we know and love.
    Why does this "retcon" of his history exists when it creates more confusion than answers any questions?

    • @DamonCagnolatti
      @DamonCagnolatti 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Aaron Latta it actually provides history, you know that thing that most kids hated in school bc it was uncool, of Supes that was wiped away with New 52. Basically THE NEW 52 messed EVERYTHING UP. It was D.C.'s way of saying fuck comics and their fanboys, we want to bring the comics in alignment with the toys and ultimately the films and video games. Dan Jurgens is correcting the New 52 bullshit.

    • @Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache
      @Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache 7 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Except Jurgens already did that by saying "This is the real Superman. The other guy you didn't like? Yeah, he's dead now. Dead and gone forever." But New 52 Superman just _had_ to come in one last time and throw a monkey wrench into everything.

Remember he turned into time trapper and was the last surviving being in the dc universe? Maybe somewhere in that timeline he figured it all out. Who knows, only time can tell.

  • @dragonman5330
    @dragonman5330 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I like the new 52 superman more than the pre-new 52 superman. He was refreshing, inexperience, unwise and does mistakes. He was basically superman in his first few years of being superman and had to learn through trial, tribulation and error so that he can learn, grow and develope to the superman we all know and love. But Hardcore superman fans have such a hard on to the old, tired and known superman of pre-52 that they didn't give the knew one a chance to grow and develope, granted some of the new 52 stories were bad but it didn't mean all in general were, there were some that was actually good. Superman Unchained was my personal favorite. Wish they didn't killed off new 52 supes, he's my favorite incarnation of superman.

  • @swguygardner
    @swguygardner 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Okay: Flashpoint is reversed when Barry allows his mom to die, which causes timeline to start resetting to post-crisis time. Dr. Manhattan uses the timeline changing to carve out sections of reality before reset, including removing roughly ten years of history from our heroes, or deleting the older heroes' legacy altogether. New 52 is born, that is the universe and it's history at that time. Convergence event happens outside of time, bringing cities from various timelines and universes together. During this event, Post-crisis superman has his child with Lois, and in it's climax flies into the void to prevent the first crisis for happening, taking his family with him. Post-crisis super-fam arrive in New 52 in the background of the events of Justice League #1. Super-fam live out about 5-10 years of quiet life, while New 52 Supes is Superman-ing around. New 52 superman dies along with New 52 Lois, and Post Crisis Super-fam take their place. Mxysptlk captures the essence of New 52 Supes and Lois, with the intent to swap them for Post Crisis Supes and Lois, Leaving Post Crisis Jon with parents that don't recognise him (having never had a child). The two separate energies, Post-crisis and New 52, combine into the Reborn Superman and Lois, with characters pointing out that they fit together like opposite charges of a magnet. This creates the Reborn history, combining elements of both histories. Post-crisis history seems to take place up until the death of superman arc, at which point the New 52 history mostly comes in, except removing elements that contradict the previous years, and Lois and Clark getting married. Then the Post-crisis "super-fam living on New 52" history takes over, except again removing elements that contradict previous years. Then The events of DC Rebirth take over, once more with elements changed to fit in with the new continuity. New 52 superman wasn't an impostor, nor was his history an illusion. In current continuity, there has only been one Superman, one Lois and one Jon Kent. Hope that clears some things up for people :)

    I feel like you kinda said this, but what I took away from Superman Reborn is that when the n52 universe was created Superman was split in two (he mentions multiple times how he's weaker during Lois and Clark) and then recombined and their histories were merged when the N52 superman's energy fused with pre-n52 supes thanks to Mr Myx.

    in Superman Reborn its revealed the pre-new 52 superman and new 52 superman were split in half when the new 52 started for whatever reason. In reborn, it was the 2 halfs becoming the whole again while also resetting everything back to how it should be(how everyone thinks of superman, the people who know his identity and how he has the Clark Kent peraona, etc)

    Rob. I love you, man. But you made this video as if you didn't see the spirit of New 52 Superman and Post Crisis Superman merging to become one. Also in Trinity #8 you saw the multiversal trinity show up in the dreamscape. This is all really exciting. This is DEFINITELY the best stuff coming out of DC Rebirth. lol

    Easiest way to think of it is it's the post crisis origin and stories with the ONLY thing they kept from the New 52 version was his parents dying his senior year...everything else was thrown out, no relationship w/ Wonder Woman, and none of the horrible stories that were told during the new 52.

  • @KrazyKryptonian
    @KrazyKryptonian 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Pretty good video. The only thing I would say is that during Superman: Lois & Clark, Clark & Co. were living in California. They don’t move to Hamilton County until the beginning of Rebirth when they change their names from the Whites to the Smiths.

    Taking Convergence out of this basically confuses things. You HAVE to include it because it explains the Pre-Flashpoint Superman's place in the New 52, going forward. It's important to the story. Both Supermen were two separate people. But they weren't split. Pre New 52 Superman is the one WE grew up with.

    Pete Ross actually was a character, he was he only person who knew that Clark was Superman.

Making Pete Ross go absolutely crazy.

    I think that everything that New 52 Superman did (except dating wonder woman) are all still part of continuity as something else superman did in his career. As you can see in the video, Superman is wearing the new 52 outfit when Lois reveals that she's pregnant, which I think means that you can put all of new 52 superman stories as just another adventure for superman
