An
Anti-Superman and
Anti-Batman have appeared out of nowhere, plaguing the
World's Finest team:
Well, eventually they're caught, and...
A
Commissioner Gordon who
looks young and has
no mustache? Why, that could never happen--
Oh, never mind.
Anyway, the Anti-Superman turned out to be a similarly de-aged
Perry White. How did it happen?
Pure
Silver Age. Gordon and White are taking an (
unescorted!) tour of the
Fortress Of Solitude, when...
Oh, sure, right...a mysterious unknown element that can
completely erase and change someone's personality. That could never happen--
Oh, never mind again. Seriously. (That's
Alfred and
Clark Kent discussing the new, improved but unscarred by tragedy
Bruce Wayne, BTW)
It's clear now--
Scott Snyder is just trying to
outdo Grant Morrison's "
every Silver Age Batman story happened" by amping it up to an even more ridiculous level!! Take that,
silly Zur En Arrh!!
From World's Finest #159 (1966), as reprinted in World's Finest #227 (1975), and Batman #43 (2015)

ReplyDeleteYou say that like it's a BAD thing!
That Silver Age Gordon is quite the Silver Fox ...
ReplyDeleteOddly enough I really liked the Zur En Arrh or whatever storyline. The only thing I disliked was the new grossed up Joker. Otherwise it was a pretty old school noir tale.
