Yet even if you think the earth is yours to do with as you see fit, seeing how we need all those plants and animals to survive, one would think that even full on Randian self interest would dictate that you try to keep everything in decent working order.

Sorry, duplicate post.

You have described my childhood.

And how many Brainys do we have now?

Judging by what was happening to Beth and Alice at the end, it looks the new sister might not be around for long.  Expect the usual time whimey explanations about how two bodies can’t occupy the same space-time continuum, or something.

All the same, things did change, and even in the Reagan years, for all the talk about undoing those changes, there was no appetite for getting rid of them completely. Attitudes that were considered radical in the ‘60s is considered normal now, and maybe even a little conservative. We don’t go around going “Oh wow, we…

Those floodlights bring back memories, of Dad trying to film us in the days before video tape, and being told to keep our eyes open as we stared into that thing.

Since Green Arrow is basically the Batman of the Berlantiverse, this is now the Batman Beyond?

The first thing that sprang to mind was this Syd Mead design.
