It's a DC Elsworlds based on the Golden Age versions of the heroes retiring and the dawn of the Silver Age in the wake of Communist paranoia and societal change, basically a retrospective on what would have happened realistically, reviewing the fictional past through a modern point of view.

Basically, it's like what the world would have been like if the Crisis on Infinite Earths still made only one world, but didn't cause the timeline to slide iforward.

Robin as Red X? what is Red X

Red X is an alternate identity that Robin created in the Titan cartoon series. He posed as a criminal so that he could get close to Slade Wilson (Deathstroke the Terminator) and capture him. Unfortunately his plan backfired as Slade figured out who he was and Robin almost fell to his death, except that Slade saved him for personal reasons.

Red X later showed up as a real criminal who had broken into the Tower and stolen the X suit Robin had built; it's been suggested that Jason Todd, the dead second Robin is the one in the suit, but nobody knows who it really is. Basically, think Zorro with an X theme instead of a Z theme and more gagets that Batman.

um, if he is dead, how could he be the one in the suit?

How many DCU character actually stay dead, honestly, Warbler?

Barry Allen, the Waynes.... I can't think of any others. Jason Todd is apparently alive in the comics again, too, and using the alias Red Hood. That is one of the reasons it's been suggested that Red X is Jason.

The Waynes? are you referring to Bruce's parents?

How did they explain Jason Todd's and Barry Allen's return?

I read " A Death In The Family" we saw Jason's Todd's dead body. Batman checked his pulse and everything and was dead. Then, he buried him. It would seem rather difficult to bring him back.

No, the Waynes and Barry Allen are people who've stayed dead.

I don't know what has happened to Jason Todd, some have suggest a Lazarus pit, but Batman exhumed his coffin and examined it; he determined that there had NEVER been a dead body in it, suggesting that Jason Todd hadn't been truly dead, that it was some sort of hybernation.

If anyone else knows more, it would be helpful.

could his return be an effect of the crisis going on right now?

but in, "A Death In The Family" , Batman held Tood's dead body in his hands. He had no pulse. hybernation can't explain that.

It might be the result of reality trying to fix itself.

Because of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the five remaining universes merged, but there were anomalies like the existence of Huntress and Powergirl. It tried to refit these heroes that should not exist into the new history, and suceeded normally, making Huntress a Bertenelli, for example.

But it didn't work with everyone, and Power Girl's origins kept changing as reality tried to work her in somewhere. It's possible that these reworkings of reality caused Jason Todd to return to life somehow.

I wonder........could this whole infinite crisis be a trap for Superman of Earth2? Could this whole thing be a set up to get Superman of Earth2 out his paradise so he could be killed? If Jason Todd could come back, could Luther of Earth2 have come back? He would have motive to kill Superman of Earth2 Is this possible?

You guys hear that WB has ordered a pilot for an Aquaman tv series? It will be along the lines of Smallville, God help us. May as well be Aquaman 90210. They plan to play down his powers/abilities and make it a "coming of age" type deal. What a.....fresh....idea.

I'm actually looking forward to the possible Aquaman TV show. There are so many DC characters with so little exposure it's good whenever one of them gets out there in the public eye. What gets me nowadays is that there can never be a straight-up superhero series. Smallville as a young Clark Kent was a great, original idea. But lest we forget it's origins are from the aborted young Bruce Wayne series. Then "Birds of Prey" came and went, set in a post-Batman Gotham City, and don't forget the abandoned Flash series that wasn't even close to the comic character at all. Now here comes a young Aquaman show.

Nothing against these new takes on various points in comic book history, but what's so wrong with shows in the same vein as "Lois and Clark," "The Flash," "Wonder Woman," and even the 60s "Batman"? I eagerly await the next superhero seires featuring the main character suiting up in full hero persona to fight for truth, justice, and whatever else they might stand for.

Does anyone have any idea of if/when the 60's Batman Series might be on DVD?

No idea.


Anybody think they should make a Zatanna series? Something in the vein of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with Zatanna fighting a supernatural evil... but with a bunch of backwards speak magic and all. And no magic lesbians.

Maybe we could have a cameo by other DC characters, too, like Bale's Batman or Dr. Fate. Or Dinah Lance!

From what I've heard it's in limbo due to legaility issues. FOX made the show, but WB owns Batman. Of course this didn't stop them from releasing Batman: The Movie.

Anybody who is a fan of comics, go check out "DCs The New Fronteier"

Definitely a good read. It gets dark and 'grim and gritty' but the heroes still act like heroes, and there is still a sense of hope under the darkness. It's what, in my opinion, the post=crisis DCU should have been. Unifed under one history, but not thrust into ludicrously dark situations, with room for the heroes to grow without losing who they were to begin with.
