They could have billed it as Morrison giving a send off to the Pre-New 52 Batman the way Alan Moore did for the Pre-Crisis Superman in "Whatever Happen to the Man of Tomorrow?" Since it would no longer be the "real" Batman, Morrison would have been allowed to go hog wild at the end and it would (somewhat) avoid continuity snarls like the one you are talking about here.Medrauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12625405387492836763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-18351693496671711952016-01-28T14:12:50.115-08:002016-01-28T14:12:50.115-08:00Your post strikes right at the core of why reboots...Your post strikes right at the core of why reboots are a really bad idea and can never actually work properly. To do a reboot "right" you have to simplify. Cut characters and ideas back to basics. But neither DC nor Marvel can do that - they have to publish X books per month, there are too many fans to keep happy, writers don't want to throw out good ideas just because of the demands of a reboot, etc.<br /><br />So the reboot gets halfassed. Both of DC's reboots have been halfassed in exactly this way (the second somehow even more than the first - probably the extra decades worth of ideas that nobody wants to throw out).<br /><br />DC would have been much better off making an Ultimate style universe instead of a reboot. Much easier to not add ideas to a new universe when the old universe is still there to play around in.Jerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060430253113856206noreply@blogger.com
