Title: A Question about a cameo in IC6.... Post by: Gangbuster on April 11, 2006, 10:59:30 AM First of all, I was happy to see "Earth-0", or Htrae, on the giant cameo page. But something else was interesting to me. There is an earth where the "Superman Family" is battling some sort of Bat-clan. Is this an obscure reference to Alan Moore's "Twilight of the Superheroes?"
Is there anyone here who has read that script and would know that? Title: Re: A Question about a cameo in IC6.... Post by: celacanto on April 11, 2006, 11:42:34 AM I thought exactly the same when i saw that earth.
Even i think they put all those Aztec stuff just to disguise the reference. :lol: Title: Re: A Question about a cameo in IC6.... Post by: dto on April 11, 2006, 12:04:38 PM There were some comments on the DC Message Boards mentioning the "Twilight"parallels, and others pointed out Marvel's "Civil War" since Earth-154 + Earth-462 = Earth-616, the homeworld of the Marvel Universe.

Post by: Great Rao on April 11, 2006, 04:06:43 PM I thought that calling the Bizarro world "Earth-0" was a dig at the 1986-2006 DCU, since fans have been calling the post-Crisis Earth "Earth-0" for quite a while.

Here's a scary thought....Infinite Zero Hour four years from now! Title: Re: A Question about a cameo in IC6....

You really think DC can hold a continuity together for 4 whole years before having to reboot? That alone would be a feat worth seeing. Title: Re: A Question about a cameo in IC6....

That's neat, but I don't remember it. I was referring to the fact that many people I know were using the "Earth-0" expression long before Zero Hour happened. They used it as the next logical number in the sequence: Earth-2, Earth-1, Earth-0... So now hearing DC try to pass off the current DCU "Earth" as "Earth-1" in Infinite Crisis is extremely jarring. I don't buy it for a second, because the place is very different than the real (1970-1986) Earth-1. The Earth with the "real" Superman - the only Superman who never showed up in IC! It looks like DC is trying to claim that the post-Crisis Superman and the pre-Crisis Superman are one-and-the-same. That'd be a pretty nifty trick. :s: |
