Did Gary say Superman's family would be with him on Earth One? That's another series called Last Family of Krypton not Earth One. The whole issue of Robin really says no one wants to see Dick's little green shorts anymore.

What's interesting is the way DC has been trying to sync up with this series so much it takes place on Earth 16 in the 52 Multiverse and the inclusion of Aqualad. It seems to be something DC is interested in which is making the other media connected with the comics like the Green Lantern movie using Secret Origin comic as the basis, DC Universe Online is suppose to have comics stories homages and the DCUO comic book and Chloe from Smallville in the Superman comic.

On the Vanishing Point series there is much suspicion that Vanishing Point will connect Return of Bruce Wayne with Geoff Johns' Flashpoint event for 2011 that may explain why it's a few issues longer.

Thanks for clarifying that, Alex; I already know of Last Family of Krypton, but I thought I heard that his kryptonian parents would still be around, or he would have a greater connection to Krypton than on the mainstream universe. But I guess that info was wrong lol.

Yeah, it really is cool how they've been merging all of the stories and histories together. Like a few years ago, where Geoff Johns took essentially bits of all the Brainiac origins and merged them together, creating one cohesive character that respects all of it's origins. I think that's pretty awesome!

That's an interesting theory...
