Given all the stories about Superman craving a connection to Kryptonian culture and not being content with being "only" American I think the new motto makes far more sense than the old. It fits with the literal Man of Tomorrow.

It's heavily implied it's intended to be the Norse gods- we see the old ruins a few times, notably in Lonarr's short, and in the flashbacks you can see Thor. This was Kirby building his own universe and he had always intended the New Gods to be the successors to Thor's adventures.

Worth noting that in the original 1970s comics written by Kirby that the New Gods are, literally, Gods, not aliens. Later (inferior) interpretations have made them aliens, but Kirby literally describes them as the new race of Gods that rises up after Ragnarok. i understand the "New Gods are aliens" canon is the current modern canon but it's not the canon that Kirby wrote and stating otherwise is inaccurate.

None of the above.

I think he's a genuinely creative writer who has a better understanding of the Batman mythos than most other modern writers. He also gave us Duke, so huge plus there. I am a huge fan of his All-Star Batman title, and I really liked Batman: Endgame. I'm not as familiar with the Dark Knights: Metal thing, and I think his handling of Jim Gordon as Batman could have been handled a bit more thoughtfully but overall he's a solid writer and Batman and Robin: Eternal would have been actually good if he'd been the one to script it.

I'd be here for the Newsboy Legion or the Forever People, honestly. The Newsboy Legion got up to some crazy sh*t and i would love to get some of that energy back in comics. Barring that, if we wanted something a bit more serious, I'd love to see the Forever People, maybe with time travel shenanigans thrown in.

I'd actually rank Marvel Zombies: Resurrection above DCeased, but all the other MZ titles go below DCeased

@I am Batman01 It's not a "Zombie Virus that affected mostly superheroes" though, it's literally a mutated version of the Anti-Life equation affecting most of Earth's populace. It's not a virus.

Marvel Zombies is a comedic look at the zombie superhero genre that does not take itself seriously. The only thing they have in common is the idea of "zombie superheroes"

Robin represents hope and determination. I wish DC would remember that more often.
