quote:Originally posted by ManofTheAtom: Not really. A lot of old 1940'S material is still considered in continuity, mostly the stuff that predates the Multiverse... and it makes sense too since you rarely saw the JSA after the 60's, you mostly saw them once a year in the crossovers with the JLA, so nothing was really lost.
But the 40's are still a "grey area", where it's not set in stone what stories are into continuity or not. Only the ones that have been validated through modern age comics count. And, all things considered, it's still less lenghty and less convulted than Superman's story nowadays.
quote:Originally posted by ManofTheAtom: Not really again :) Those Jay Garrick stories and the Barry Allen stories that don't involve the multiverse are still in continuity.
Same as above.

I don't mind the mess, really. Hawkworld completely fucked continuity... but it was a good story, so it was worth it. My point was that, because of the mess, a lot of stories are out of continuity.
quote:Originally posted by ManofTheAtom: You mean that the 1988 CBS toon, Lois and Clark, the 1990's WB toon and Smallville aren't enough for people to understand that Lex Luthor is not who he used to be in the 60's, 70's and early 80's?
People aren't stupid as continuity haters think they are, they understand that Luthor is not how Gene Hackman played him...
Heh, I didn't mean that. I mean ask them to explain you what happened to Luthor Jr.
quote:Originally posted by ManofTheAtom: And Superman's stories for the 12 years that followed MoS were interesting, not convulted, that didn't start till 99...
They gradually started getting more and more convulted starting around 1994. By 1999 they pretty much sucked.
