Anyway.....I wouldn't mind Birthright as the new origin so much, if DC had the balls to call it that. This backdoor retcon (sounds like a prison term) is annoying. I'm sick of all the questions, all the "is it or isn't it." Mxy has a point that 1986-1999 was one story but it can't necessarily last forever. But if there is a new continuity, it needs to be clearly stated.

On the merits of how they rate, I prefer Man of Steel. It just felt better. Birthright seems like a clear attempt to bring Smallville into the DCU and to make Superman more PC.
