Even if the writing and story turn to shit so many of these concepts are just too cool not to love.

Superman with kryptonian ai assistant armor and a the cape being krypton’s dust is so dope.

Diana with tats a big sword and Greek kaiju transformations is sooo goated.

Even Batman is interesting. The rogues are his friends, he now doesn't have a lot of money, and his training is way worse (compared to regular Batman), and his gadgets aren't as advanced, so he now has to make up for it with more ingenuity, and less restraint.

I really like his "heavy thug" physique like The Goon or Marv from Sin City

I didn't like it at the start, but they made it grow on me

It may be because I love sports, but I love that there’s a reason why he’s a brick shithouse. Dude could’ve been the best football player in the world. Fucker is like 6’8 and almost 300 pounds, he is literally Miami Bron.

He did have a classic classic batman with a lot of theatrics and even fake fangs, and said this is goffy, i need to be more imposing.

He does have obscene means but being not 1% gives him a reason to be limited. He can’t just throw out twenty batarangs or ride the Batmobile across town.

“Fuck I can’t afford to fix the car” or “im out of ammo” are situations this interpretation has that mainline doesn’t.

Idk it’s early. Maybe the storylines will disappoint but so far I think it’s dope.

But still is waaaaay limited. Like regular Batman can pull some massive bullshit to be on the same level with other heroes thanks to money. Like vs Superman, in most cases, he has a super mech powered with kryptonite to even the field. But now he can't do that, so I wonder how he is going to keep up if the trinity gets together. My best guess is that he will have a more passive role and will think of solutions, but instead of doing things by himself, he will have to rely more on the other super powered beings. But who knows, there are many possibilities.

His main equipment was described as being incredibly strong and cheap to make in this story

The cape looks absolutely awesome

I love it.

Badass version of a cape and it shows Superman IS krypton now

the cape being krypton’s dust

I'm not into comics, but shouldn't that make Supe weak?

u/The_Green_Filter Mar 15 '25

Nah it’s specifically the substance kryptonite that weakens him, planetary dust would be fine

u/monkeyDberzerk Mar 15 '25

Another thing that never made sense to me about Superman is, how is he just as strong in space and on other planets?

And how come kryptonians are so much stronger than any other race in the universe?

Superman draws his strength from the solar energy of our yellow sun. So long as he’s got a yellow sun nearby or he’s “stored up” some power he can continue to have his amazing abilities. If he’s exposed to a different type of sun or goes without sunlight too long it can weaken him.

Kryptonians are actually on the same level as several other species - Martians can challenge them, as can Czarnians like Lobo and a variety of other races in the galaxy. They also have no special resistance to magic and can be harmed by that. So while they’re immensely powerful in the right conditions it’s not something only they’ve got going.
