ZENDEL Brown I think there are only 3 people can deal with Dr Manhattan, 1st the Presents, 2nd The Spectre and 3rd morning star. there is no chance superman or any dc super hero characters can deal with Dr Manhattan.

I don't really understand why you're making this so complicated. It's not. New 52 Superman existed and had his own distinct back story, and post crisis pre flashpoint Superman also existed with his own history. Whatever caused the New 52 to happen, whether it be Flashpoint or Dr. Manhattan, two distinct Supermen existed. Then New 52 Superman died and turned to energy, which later merged with pre flashpoint Superman, making an all new Superman with both histories existing in one person.

Was it really that confusing to readers for DC to say "We had 2 Supermen. One from the Pre-Flashpoint universe, one from the New 52. New 52 Superman died, and now Pre-Flashpoint Superman has come back out of hiding to replace him. There were 3 Clark Kents, but one of them was Mxy, who wanted to fix the whole 'New 52 Lois Lane revealed New 52 Superman's secret identity' thing". At what point did we lose them?

This particular story comic just makes explaining Superman's current canon history that much more confusing. The split Superman theory was perfectly fine, it fit with the N52/Rebirth landscape and allowed writers to have their younger, more inexperienced Clark but also the old one we know and love. Why does this "retcon" of his history exists when it creates more confusion than answers any questions?

Let me tell you something Rob Corp, let me tell you something! Comicsexplained is the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth right now!!!! So what I want to do here is explain how Marvel Explained Rob and Comics Explained Rob merge into one Rob

One thing that the New 52 Superman does have over the old is the costume. I like the modern take on his armor's origin, and that it looks like a cool turtleneck

I dont know if it has been brought up but I rather like the idea that when Barry went back to fix time Manhattan decided to fix time himself and thus screwed things up because both "fixes" happened at the same time and blended together thus why you have the cross overs of characters of pre-new52 and new 52

I like how you can tell rob just added corporeal to his vocabulary 👍

Very good video. I learned a lot. But for someone who doesn't speak english as his first language it was very hard to follow. You are just super excited and speak very fast! But keep it going!

A video about that old guy at the end would be noice. The old guy with the black hat that you said is a ''god'' in that universe.

I'm sure this has been addressed already but Pete Ross is an existing character from the golden age. Was a Superboy supporting character.

in Superman Reborn its revealed the pre-new 52 superman and new 52 superman were split in half when the new 52 started for whatever reason. In reborn, it was the 2 halfs becoming the whole again while also resetting everything back to how it should be(how everyone thinks of superman, the people who know his identity and how he has the Clark Kent peraona, etc)

When they arrived in The New 52 universe, Lois and Clark settled in Salinas, California with their son. When the New 52 Superman died, they moved to Hamilton County.

heavy bass feed on the bottom frequency of this vid bro. Think it might be the track. its a tad distracting. love you man , Rob Core

I like the new 52 superman more than the pre-new 52 superman. He was refreshing, inexperience, unwise and does mistakes. He was basically superman in his first few years of being superman and had to learn through trial, tribulation and error so that he can learn, grow and develope to the superman we all know and love. But Hardcore superman fans have such a hard on to the old, tired and known superman of pre-52 that they didn't give the knew one a chance to grow and develope, granted some of the new 52 stories were bad but it didn't mean all in general were, there were some that was actually good. Superman Unchained was my personal favorite. Wish they didn't killed off new 52 supes, he's my favorite incarnation of superman.

Not really Mr. Jurgens said- Superman and Wonder Woman’s DCU Romance is No Longer in Continuity. Superman and Wonder Woman were never a thing. The confirmation that Clark and Diana’s New 52 romance has been retconned comes courtesy of current Action Comics scribe Dan Jurgens, in response to a tweet by a fan. ‘We gave the broad strokes in Action, which made things fairly clear,” tweeted Jurgens. “No romantic relationship with WW, for example.” Vis mindre

SO.... he just CHaNGED time. Thanks Superman....

If Superboy Prime took on Dr. Manhattan, as a heroic act.. WOW... WHAT A TWIST THAT'D BE! He's like the only other DC char, that could *actually* beat him. By the time SBP was a reality bender, at the end of the cosmos, he was prolly as powerful or MORE powerful than Manhattan.. WOW, I'd love to hear that story!

I feel like you kinda said this, but what I took away from Superman Reborn is that when the n52 universe was created Superman was split in two (he mentions multiple times how he's weaker during Lois and Clark) and then recombined and their histories were merged when the N52 superman's energy fused with pre-n52 supes thanks to Mr Myx.

Hi Rob. I was wondering if you can give some tips on how to analyse comics when you read them. Because you're so good at explaining what certain things mean. So I was wondering if you can give some tips. It would be great if anybody can! Love your content btw!

Pretty good video. The only thing I would say is that during Superman: Lois & Clark, Clark & Co. were living in California. They don’t move to Hamilton County until the beginning of Rebirth when they change their names from the Whites to the Smiths.

I would have to watch this again.

I haven't been this excited about DC since Knightfall and Contagion

Nice bro :D

If you look at how masterfully Star Wars has brought it's Star Wars Legends into the new Star Wars Cannon we will see it's echoes in DC Rebirth i personally think it's brilliant.

In the Superboy videos it was covered how if any Supermen crossed over into alternate universes they weren't weakened by that universe's kryptonite only by it's red suns. Was this the case for the pre-new 52 Superman exsisting in the new 52 universe before he merged with the essence of his new 52 counterpart?

Woah. That Martha Wayne revelation really caught me offguard😲 I knew about Thomas but not her😅 just shows my ignorance😧

Aloha Rob! I was wondering if you have any thoughts about them incorporating the Vertigo characters they have for the cosmic side of things. For example, the latest Sandman comic I read acted as a sort of rebirth with a story of people collectively imagining the entirety of the universe back with lot's of throwback references. I would love if the person who ends up stopping Dr. Manhattan in the end isn't Superman, or Batman, but John Constantine calling in a Boon of the Endless, which would then bring Sandman, Death, and Lucifer among others into the new rebirth cannon, which I think would be awesome.

let me try to ask as many questions as possible. 1. I missed all of convergence, do you have a playlist? 2. In your superboy prime video you stated that supermen from different universes are not affected by kryptonite outside of their home universe. Is pre 52 superman affected by new 52 kryptonite? 3. Is this even a new universe?

I think that everything that New 52 Superman did (except dating wonder woman) are all still part of continuity as something else superman did in his career. As you can see in the video, Superman is wearing the new 52 outfit when Lois reveals that she's pregnant, which I think means that you can put all of new 52 superman stories as just another adventure for superman

Love your voice

I really don't think you would be confused about Superman and Action Comics. The comic books have text on the back of them that I'm sure explain what's going on in them. And also you could just search it online but that might be how you end up at this video.

Easiest way to think of it is it's the post crisis origin and stories with the ONLY thing they kept from the New 52 version was his parents dying his senior year...everything else was thrown out, no relationship w/ Wonder Woman, and none of the horrible stories that were told during the new 52.

I think it would be cool to see pre-new 52 Superboy (Conner Kent) coming back and being like a big brother to Jon. IDK that just seems kinda cool to me.

Am I excited about the Watcher? You kidding. Dr. Manhattan is necessary. Inevitable.

Man they did my boy Conner Kent dirty with this one, they better bring his ass back fr

With the quotes about "strings" as the end of Flash 22, I have to wonder whether Dr. Manhattan himself is being jerked around by an unknown big bad.

there should definitely be a video on how Doctor Manhattan has effected the D.C. Landscape thus far

Lex Luthor face @ 6:40 = Smellin' a superFart.

the new 52 comic was really confusing to me and i'm glad they brought back the old superman i was more into that books then the new version of superman.

Begging a lot of questions in this video.

I really want to get into comics and stuff like this makes me feel like there's no good place to start.

Have you ever taken a look at the TF2 comics? They are really well written, and I think you'd enjoy them a lot (especially because of the Superman origin story parallels)

The merging of the two Supermen brings a few questions to my mind: 1. Was Pre-New 52 Superman no longer there at the beginning, watching? 2. How old was Superman when the Justice League was formed? 3. When did Lois and Clark have Jonathan? 4. Is Convergence still a thing? 5. How old was he when he had Jonathan?

Seeing Pete Ross brought back memories of watching Smallville hahah.

Dr Manhattan is maybe still changing things, as in ongoing reality changing, meaning the comics don't even have to be consistent lol but seriously that is what i'm getting from this, hoping from this, that's it is THAT meta.

That still matters right. If anything is possible then Dc vertigo world could just be come one with DC universe right?

Taking Convergence out of this basically confuses things. You HAVE to include it because it explains the Pre-Flashpoint Superman's place in the New 52, going forward. It's important to the story. Both Supermen were two separate people. But they weren't split. Pre New 52 Superman is the one WE grew up with.

Am I the only one who liked The New 52 Superman _because_ he was less of a boy scout (he was angry, more conflicted, more flawed, all around grittier)? Rob, can you _please_ explain matrix-Supergirl from Reign of the Superman era?

i feel as if maybe the way they could maybe beat this new threat is doing what superman did literally fusing with the pre new 52 and bring about a time line where maybe Manhattan never had the chance to mess with the universe. because i feel the only reason any one (if it wasnt manhattan) had the ability to do so is cuz they saw the chance where the could. but in marvel thanos killed everyone and restarted the universe because the one above all let him maybe that is what the presence is doing, allowing this to happen allowing manhatten to mess with everything maybe to prove a point that the "plan" which if you read lucifer he says he wants people and beings to have actual free will instead of a set path that the presence or the over monitor had to create.
