Now there's something that would change my current indifference to the show. Instead of a bunch of political soap opera about a doomed planet (see also: Caprica) have Jor-El's dad involved in crazy DC Universe shenanigans. One week, he's recruited as a Green Lantern. ("You'll never escape this deathtrap, lawman. We…

The Centre has to take the threat seriously, but I don't really believe that Pastor Tim and Alice had made any such arrangement at the time P&E confronted them, and I doubt they have now.

People might notice, but it's not unheard of for people to upgrade their wedding rings, or to lose them and have to replace them. It's hard to see how wearing new rings would be a clue to their imposture. ("They're both wearing new wedding rings. Clearly they were never officially married before going to an…

Following in the footsteps of the Jay Garrick plot on Flash.

Yeah. Watching Young Justice the first time as it came out, with long random gaps between episodes thanks to the network, I appreciated it as a solidly done superhero show.

I assume that P&E have a camera (different from the ones they use for their work) to do normal suburban things with. (E.g,. when they went to Epcot, I wouldn't think they'd take the SLR they use for surveillance.) But fair enough, that one was Paige's.

Fair enough. But the regs cited specify "foreign diplomatic officers", defined as:

Yeah— AFAIK you can't use a safelight with color. (Or with some panchromatic black and white film, for that matter.)

Even the children of diplomats limitation appears to be based on a State Department guidance in the Foreign Affairs Manual rather than a statute, doesn't look to have been tested in court, and has been called into question in recent years.

Those kids were born in Canada, so US birthright citizenship didn't come into play. That's very hard to remove.

I especially liked the crooked finger to indicate the ears on his cowl.

Supergirl's faced Brainiac 8 (Indigo) and Bizarro Supergirl. That doesn't preclude Superman having fought the original Brainiac and his own imperfect duplicate in the past (though they treated the "Bizarro" name as new on the show).

To be fair, he spent half the pre-Crisis era after his debut entirely absent, having been put on a bus (well, spaceship) at the beginning of the Bronze Age.

Is the idea that anyone who knows Kara's identity gets told Clark's as well?

Jax-Ur deserves special recognition in any case for blowing up an entire moon.

He's not really the Jimmy Olsen, since Jimmy was never the gadgeteer or the voice in the earpiece with an Internet connection. Winn's got more kinship with Cisco or Felicity or early Willow Rosenberg. (Early Felicity especially, what with the criminal dad and the crush on the hero.)

Yep. He was initially introduced when Superboy discovered the Phantom Zone projector, as one of several criminals exiled with it. (Zod got two panels, fellow inmate "Dr. Xadu" got five.) Zod's gimmick in the comics was that he'd created a bunch of Bizarro duplicates of himself to Conquer the World (of Krypton).

Brainiac, Mongul, Bizarro, Darkseid… Zod's rarely been a particularly prominent villain outside the movies. Historically he was one of a bunch of relatively interchangeable Phantom Zone villains.

Hey, Elastic Lad and Flamebird were both awesome, and Jimmy was no slouch as a two-fisted reporter either. (He was the point man for discovering all the Jack Kirby weirdness that ultimately led all the way up to Darkseid.)

I was a little surprised because of the Vigilante misdirection, which was aimed directly at comics fans like me who "knew" that Adrian Chase is Vigilante.
