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.

Who says the New Republic is left wing? They pretty much have a state religion (the Jedi) and are more a collection of local governments than a powerful central government. The entire story of Star Wars is about getting rid of a corrupt central government and moving to one that DOESN'T try and control what people think.

What the Hell is Going on in France?

Well, the Rodney King riots were utter bullcrap. If the cops were racist, they'll have to answer to God for that, but King attacked them and didn't go down with the tazers. I'm not trying to ever justify police brutality, especially if it's racially motivated. But in the spot like that, you are GOING to make sure that guy stays down.

Even if the verdict was bogus (I wasn't politicall aware at the time, so forgive me if I'm ignorant or unopinionated) there was no right for the looting and rioting that happened after it came in. Same goes in France. Protest, by all means, if you think there is injustice, but burning your own neighboorhood doesn't help your cause any.

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.

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.

I look forward to the 2008 presidential election. I'll be a year over the age to vote, and can vote for Hillary Clintom.


I'm sure most liberals find THAT choice lacking. Most sane ones, anyway.


And you think Condoleeza "Bush kiss-ass" Rice would do any better? Clinton may not be the best candidate in the U.S., but you must take the lesser of the two evils!


Excuse me, but did I say ANYTHING about Rice? For one, I don't really expect her to get the nomination, but even if she does, that doesnt' mean I will vote for her. I just said that HILARY was a bad choice, nothing else.

Honestly, I think whoever runs for president in 2008 should have absolutely no affiliations with either the Bush or Clinton administrations, but that's just me.

Edited to add: Also, Adam, we're derailing this thread. If you want to argue presidents, go to the Politics thread. This is about 2005 elections, not 2008.

If all six movies are good, then Spiderman may end up the best movie series in history. On the otherhand, movie series tend to drop as soon as their a trilogy, some times not even lasting that long.

Then again, the nature of Spiderman's story line makes it much better suited for sequels than many franchises.
