Except that now instead of telling new stories the writers have to find ways to fit the new continuity into the current characters as well as explain how Superman is now younger than the heroes that used to look up to him
You do understand that by changing the past Waid is forcing current and future writers to fit his changes into the new continuity? Things that happened before now eitherdidn't happen or happened differently.
Like in Crisis or Zero Hour. You say it's a good thing to find ways to fit to continuity... then what's the problem? "If they are good writers, they should find a way to do it!"

Not all the writers, not all the time.
quote:Originally posted by ManofTheAtom: Now a lot of Superman events and characters have to be altered to fit with what Waid did.
What a great challenge to writers! They are better writers because if they can fit to it, according to what you said before.
