Do you remember whether this was before or after 2011?

Definitely before 2011, I was still in school. Could have been as far back as '94 or thereabouts.

Oh man... I feel like I know the story you're talking about. Gimme a bit, I have to do some research.

I think I may have found it. It was something about a villain named Dominus taking over Supes' mind and he does his whole "take over the world" thing with Superman robots and shit. I never actually read the story, but it ran sometime in the late 1990s.

That MIGHT be it...it's been so long, argh. Also I think I was reading every Young Justice the library had and I DEFINITELY remember a run where YJ was on Apokalips, so maybe I'm mixing the two storyliens up in my mind??

sa

waaaaaait a second! The one where YJ is on Apokolips is actually part of a multi-title crossover series "Our Worlds at War", which sounds vaguely familiar. Can't find a detailed summary yet but that might be it! I really appreciate your help either way :D

I do remember that event. That's where Bart Allen gets seriously, legitimately hurt for the first time, which is why it stuck out for me (he's one of my favourites.)

Oh yeah, doesn't one of his speed-force dopplegangers (or whatever he calls 'em) die? That stuck with me too. I love Bart so much...I thought the development of his character and powers was really well done and he stayed interesting and likable all the way through. (helps that I have a giant soft spot for Humberto Ramos)

Yup! Fucks him up bad.

That whole event was actually pretty good, to be honest. Though I find it amusing that they used it, partly, to clear out some of the gunk of the 90s (like killing off a few survivors of that whole Bloodlines mess, and also I believe they killed off Guy Gardner who'd gone Full Liefeld by then.)

It always kind of tickles me when they bring back an obscure character just to kill them off. You can just let 'em sit, guys, its ok! The storyline in Superman/Batman that was a salute to Silver Age comics ("A glorious age of comics where Lois Lane can have her head changed to the head of a fly, and Bats and Supes can challenge each other to an amnesia contest JUST BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE IT" like the writer said) was a fun use of silly old characters.

But then I've never agreed with the need to 'clean up continuity' that results in Crisis and New 52 and whatever BS they have next. L'il Gotham is maybe my favorite book ever because it's like "*handwave* aaaaand stuff happens! shhhh just read"

To be fair, Bloodlines was one of the worst things they ever wrote. About the only character that mattered was Tommy Monaghan and that's because he was a Garth Ennis creation.

(never been so happy to see Noonan's bar pop up in Batman and Robin #27, though it DOES mean the old gang is still dead/not coming back...)

zat the current Batman and Robin run? How is it? I'm all over batfam comics although Damian is my least favorite Robin, but I haven't been able to stomach what I've read of the new 52. I just want the Didio school of "Heroes shouldn't have happy personal lives" to gdiaf. If you want that philosophy maybe for a couple of heroes, but all of them? Even Superman can't be married to Lois? gdi that's why I started on DC rather than MArvel, cause the heroes actually had occasionally non-sucky lives.

...although I HAVE heard that the current 'Future's End' event they've got going is pretty interesting!

Stick with the New 52, I promise. It was off to a very rough and shaky start, and despite DC's PR problems, Geoff Johns has actually done a very good job of holding it all together, and sticking with it really, really pays off with last year's event Forever Evil. You only ever really need to outright avoid anything by Scott Lobdell (except for the tail end of his Superman run, which is part of the very awesome Doomed event otherwise I wouldn't read it) and Ann Nocenti (though she had a short run on Green Arrow that wasn't SO bad.)

If there's one lasting victory of the New 52, it's that it took All Star Western 3 years to get canceled. That's not a bad run for something that isn't Batman, Superman or Justice League!

I'm really glad to have two specific names to avoid, THANK YOU. I tend to follow characters rather than writers/artists, so unless it's Liefield and I can tell to flee for the hills I often get blindsided when a title starts to suddenly suck.

(...honestly I can't be unbiased about new 52 because of the bs way they changed the backstory of my #1 favorite character, Timothy Drake. What I loved about him was that he was a normal dude [if very smart and kinda obsessive] from a normalish family, who became Robin not to get vengence for a tragedy but because Batman needed a Robin and it's a dirty job but somebody's got to do it by golly. He got through on giant brains and sheer hard work to make up for his lack of natural physical talent. Now he's an...Olympic hopeful gymnast? And he was never Robin, just Red Robin? I just can't remain objective. Sigh.)
