Paradise Loused

[fly on the wall]

I have read all the Infinite Crisis books so far. Reread them a few times.

I read all the mini-series leading up to Infinite Crisis, and some of those books stank, none made a whole lot of sense.

So I've tried to figure this out and I did my homework, but I still can't figure it out. In what way were Kal-L, Lois, Alex Luthor and Superboy in a Paradise? It looked like a big muddy cave with a big picture window showing them all the cool stuff on Earth that they couldn't participate in. How was this a paradise? It seemed awful to me. What did they eat?

Where did they go to the bathroom?

Will there be a Infinite Crisis Special explaining where they went to the bathroom in Paradise and what they used to wipe?

Don't tell me it was tree leaves because I don't see any trees. Just Mud.

Hmmmm.

Well at least I hope it's mud.

Where did they go to the bathroom?

The answer to this question also happens to be the answer to why their paradise began to "spoil".

[rfahey]

It was better than they're being erased from existence. Otherwise, it wasn't so great. The Secret Files shows that they could create environments with their minds, and it's been said that they don't age in that place. Therefore, I would assume that they also wouldn't need to eat and ... er... poop.

Why you need look no further than Oz. Where else could they have gone? Alex just accidentally covnerted the landscape as we know it when he "created" the place. The three of them just went over the rainbow. If anyone in the DCU had ever gotten tossed through the air by a naturally-occurring tornado, we'd have found the bunch sooner.

In the Secret Files special, Alex says that he choose the place...on the fly, so to speak. (Sorry.) He had to make an instant decision between one place that looked like Hell (with erupting volcanoes) and another that looked like Heaven, at least by comparison. At first their "heaven" seemed like a good refuge from the devastation of the Crisis because it was plastic and could be molded into different configurations by the power of thought alone. (It would be pretty cool to make your own buildings and landscapes just by thinking about them.) But they were totally alone in the place and couldn't create people, so it came to feel like a prison. They didn't need to use the bathroom (or change clothes, or maybe even eat or breathe), because time didn't pass there. Twenty years went by in the DCU, but it was all one long, extended instant for them.

Actually, twenty years went by for *us* here on Earth-Real, a sliding scale of continuity time went by for the DCU, and goodness knows what measure of "time" went by for the COIE Four. :)

True. I keep forgetting that everything is supposed to have happened in only ten years.

If I'm constipated sitting on the potty can be like one long, extended instant for me.

So let me get this straight, I buy the special, Omac, VU and that stupid space war thing. Then of course I bought the Infinite Crisis books. A little expensive and a lot of it filler, but I wanted to cover all bases so I'd know what was going on. I even bought a few of the tie-ins, which I would not usually buy.

So I buy and read all that and they tell you what's going in some arcane appendix?

That's really stupid. The basic description of what was going on in the "Heaven" should have been incorporated into the Infinite Crisis comic books.
