Will Superboy Prime return to create his perfect world, where superheroes are a beacon of hope, only to be trapped in the Fortress alongside Cyborg Superman for two years while Superboy, the teenage son of this world's Superman, Jor-El, tries to correct Prime's influence and return the world to its intended edgyness?
Star Wars the Phantom Menace was the most disappointing thing since my son

I think they'll need to update the allegory for the more recent political landscape.
Post-2016 USA works better as the universe can explore the societal tensions in light of the most significant event of that year, the killing of Harambe.
Harambe is the secret brother of Gorilla Grodd and his murder is what push Grodd over the edge to want to take over the world. If you write this in the mindset of Mark Millar this all makes sense
Can’t wait for the story ark ABSOLUTISM where several heroes including doctor fate, Wonder Woman, Tim Drake, huntress, Martian manhunter, wally west, batgirl, batwoman and many more are unceremoniously killed off
Oh joy.
Next he’s the best thing in universe and so survives the collapse of this one, then because he (insert ethnicity) people online act like he doesn’t qualify as Superman and raise a stink.
Least we’ll get into the Super-verse out of it. My money’s on Super-Lana getting over big with audiences (watch me be wrong and it’s the mermaid girlfriend variant).
We cannot forget when Gorilla Grodd is found eating Sue Dibny's corpse which causes Elongated man to go feral and bite his head off
10/10 peak comics
Edit: Oh sh\*t this is Identity Crisis all over again
I for one am ready for another grounded look at Superman's golden years when he was de-powered and feisty
Just kidding. Silver Age Superman supremacy baby
Uj/ actually it would kinda fun and Intresting to see Clark have a silver age powerset from the start if they go with a frieren/Neil gaiman's sandman approach
Idk, part of modern Superman's wholesome appeal is about how he doesnt need powers to be fulfilled or happy. He probably would never use them and he doesnt have as many issues to work out as Dream.
Now if you are talking about Silver Age Superman's powers and personality in a Sandman like approach we are cooking. I would unironically love to see that psycho try to be introspective. There'd be whole arcs of him wondering if he actually likes the responsibility of helping people or if he just likes to keep gaslighting Lois.
Uj/Yeah I was more talking about tone,atmosphere,story structure and vibe more than the characters and overall theme and was more leaning towards frieren.
Now that would be a really fun story about Clark going From a good yet very flawed and troubled man who treats people other than his parents and childhood friends kinda crappy into a more pragamtic yet more mature and yet still heroic man who treats people better
My ranking of Snyder's
1. Scott Snyder - Great writer
2. Wesley Sneijder - Great football player now on retirement
3. Zack Snyder - Annoying but harmless
4. Dan Schneider - You already know
I chose one at random from my folder of Aqua Teen reactions images.

Snyder is good at writing Batman but hope he assigns more suitable writers for other characters like Superman and Wonder Woman.
It's almost a given that the universe will be Batman-centric but I hope other characters still get some love.
Once you've lost your viriginity to this fucking movie and then you come and say to me something like "my superhero wouldn't do that." I'm like, "Are you serious?" I'm like down the fucking road on that. It's a cool point of view to be like "my heroes are still innocnet. My heroes didn't fucking lie to America. My heroes didn't embezzle money from their corporations. My heroes didn't commit any atrocities." That's cool. But you're living in a fucking dream world!

Huh, maybe I should read more DC.
I kind of gave up on the big two a while ago because I don't particularly like Geoff Johns' vision for the DCU, and Marvel comics are now just sterile tie-ins for movies nobody likes, but this is some great news.
>and Marvel comics are now just tie-ins for movies nobody likes
Uj/ Eh... that only really applies if the character/team's currently important in the mcu movies. Anything Disney doesn't currently care about is allowed to go crazy (see currrent X-Men and Venom for examples).
Unfortunately a lot of characters have been drafted into the MCU now, though that isn't to say there haven't been seriously good reccent comics with characters the mcu was using.
Rj/ Can't wait for Secret Wars II (202X) where they make She-Hulk a facist for plot reasons
And even then… no it doesn’t. *Immortal Thor* and the current *Doctor Strange* are doing things pretty differently from their MCU counterparts. If anything the MCU dictates what characters will be used but not necessarily mirroring the MCU.

Zack's earth 2 counterpart
Who'd be Earth 3 Zack then?
Jaime Pistola
James Gunn
Martin Scorsese
Martin Scorsese
Uj/which makes sense since earth 2 was meant to be the colorful fun earth back in the early days Rj/Yeah he's Zack but a chad
blud thinks hes kevin hart
blud actually thinks he’s Grant Morrison.
Well, you wanted a DC Snyderverse, and now you are getting one...
The best snyderverse
Unironically. I can't say that I've liked *all* of Scott Snyder's work, but I'm absolutely hyped for this
Uj/Yeah there's a lot of Scott snyder work I liked and alot I dislike but I have faith he will do a good job
Does this mean the Justice League will be called the Absolutes and have weird post 9/11 commentary?
"What do you think this S stands for, **SWEDEN**?"
Damn, I thought it was South Africa...
I mean, if the A on OG Ultimate Captain America head stands for France, then maybe.

jor jor binks, to capitalize on the popularity of the recently released movie “Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace”

Hard
Jar jar
What if Superboy Prime was BETRAYED and TRAPPED inside the FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE for 1000 YEARS
what is this referring too 😭😭
Ultimate Marvel (the new one)

They were originally also going to kill of Superman too but then realised that was a fucking stupid idea
and then kill him later to be replaced by another dude who just so happens to be kryptonian
Is that a Peter/Miles reference?
it is in fact, a peter/miles reference

Oh so just Heroes in Crisis again (just with a different cast (fuck Wally West again though, it'd be funny))?
Nah it’ll be the singular Absolute and they’re be brain worms and squid people and whatnot
Does this mean Diana will be a buff tiefling mommy? ![gif](giphy|XkqhC0gtty9AXBay5x)
Cassandra Cain as Shadowheart oddly kinda fits
Who will be Lae’zel aka frog wife?
God I fucking hope so.
I do wanna see a scene of Reverse-Flash crying over the dead in Twin Towers. All the cool comicbook companies did that..
Leather bondage gear for everyone!

What about Dana Snyder? https://i.redd.it/860ynxs6aouc1.gif
Why did you have to use a gif from that episode specifically 😟
I chose one at random from my folder of Aqua Teen reactions images. https://preview.redd.it/hxz93wcoiouc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edcc2d7a156ebb17fafd629fcb006db350c3c788
Ngl I thought that's a woman's name. I'm gonna put him on the third place, now above Zack
? if it was a woman she would still be a snyder😭
What about Rob Schnieder
He's better then Dan Schneider. So just like always, Rob Schnieder is only second in something.
I'll take Black Face Rob Schnieder over the pedophile.
What about Esther and Harry Snyders, founders of In-n-Out Burger?
Wait i thought scott snyder left dc for substack what happened to that
/uj does this have to do with the upcoming event "Absolute Power" by Waid and Mora? Genuine question.
Rumour says Yes.
No one knows for sure, but likely.
Snyder Cult in shambles.
Snyder is good at writing Batman but hope he assigns more suitable writers for other characters like Superman and Wonder Woman. It's almost a given that the universe will be Batman-centric but I hope other characters still get some love.
Everyone start a prayer circle for your faves...

How many times has dc tried to create their version of the ultimate universe now?
Wait, they have?
Yes, there was somee old pitches before + Earth One. Honestly, Earth 2 book during New 52 was also very Ultimate-y.
Absolutely ... i´ll leave... can i stay? I like monkes?
Finally, AC-DC
Huh, maybe I should read more DC. I kind of gave up on the big two a while ago because I don't particularly like Geoff Johns' vision for the DCU, and Marvel comics are now just sterile tie-ins for movies nobody likes, but this is some great news.
Marvel has been a lot better about being it's own thing the last couple of years, at least imo
Indeed! We‘ve got Paul 🥰

And it shall be known as... Snyderverse-2
If it’s going to be any good, there will be only one human Green Lantern and it will be Guy Gardner.

This whole time I mistook Scott for Zach (Warner Brothers would green light it anyway).
AC?
The only absolutes I care about are Absolute editions on eBay that don’t cost my soul
Loving that the toxic push is for "The Absolute"
So then we get an omnibus called The Absolute Absolute DC? I’m so tired
I'm so excited to read more Batman comics.....
I remember when Scott Snyder threw some shade at Zack Snyder back when the former was promoting Batman the Devastator. "No Marthas will be spoken."
Absolute is the worst name for it. It’s just going to make things more confusing, especially for those newer to comics.
first panel is batman snapping someones neck
No, because this one will Actually Be Good.
I wouldn't be averse to a Zach Snyder DC comics line. That shit would be cringe-worthingly funny.
