the villains are attacking Metropolis because if they can take out Superman’s city then they can take over the world.
Aside from the fact that it's the best-known of DC's fictional cities, what makes Metropolis the lynchpin on which the whole DCU hinges? And if this reasoning is correct -- that seizing Metropolis means conquering the Earth -- why don't all villains attack Metropolis to the exclusion of all other cities, all the time?
BP grabs Wonder Girl whom is then saved by Bart – an older Bart- in Barry’s old Flash costume saying that it was the only costume that could survive the trip.
Oh, brother. :roll: Except for being routinely shrunk small enough to fit into a ring (something I gather he could've done to any fabric), what's so special about Barry's costume? Lucky for Bart it wasn't Phantom Lady's costume that had these magical properties.
Cut back to Earth and you see Batman knock Alex down and grab a gun. Just as he is about to shoot him Wonder Woman shows up and tells Bruce that it’s not worth it so he tosses the gun aside.
Umm...yeah, Batman's gonna break his anti-gun code on an also-ran, nobody villain like Alex Luthor. If Batman wanted someone dead, he could kill him a million ways without using a gun.
SBP then carves the Superman symbol into him chest saying “I’ve been in worse places than this. And I’ve gotten out.”
And where would that be? SBP has so far lived on Earth-Prime, where everything was honky-dorey, and in "Paradise."
Anyway, who says this isn't a happy ending? For a brief moment there, it looked like this series would usher in a new era at DC and I'd be spending a lot of money on comics. At least my wallet gets a happy ending.
