recent Superman/Batman changes (spoilers)

[gunz]

Anyone else find it funny that they are making both superman and batman fathers. Now I realise this isn't the first time they are acting as father figurers (batman with the robins and superman and supergirl (though that was really an older brother role)) but now they are making them strait dads (batman is still tim drake's adopted father). Now in the case of batman, that didn't last to long (he'll be back) and probally the same for superman. I'm jsut curious why they had similar stories for both their characters. Personally, i think it's a good thing. It takes both characters to another level that I think characters around as long as they have need.

Besides in the Pre-COIE world of Earth-2 Batman was already a father, the Huntress, we just haven't seen what happen during time periods of her growth. :(

I think that DC is trying to make up for lost time. :(

Superman's having a kid? when did that happen?

[umbc8]

A kryptonian child landed on earth in the recent issues of Action Comics. Clark and Lois look like they're going to take him in. He's not the natural father though (read Action 845 for that one). Also, in Superman Returns, it is revealed that Lois's kid's real dad is Superman, not Richard White.

Batman and Superman both having a child in their life at the same time seems like pure coincidence to me. Unless DC told Richard Donner & Grant Morrison how to lean both of their stories, which is laughable, I think both just had a similar idea of how to turn the biggest character's respective worlds upside down. And I think Johns deserves a lot of credit for where the Action Comics writing is coming from.

As for "Superman Returns", it's just a movie and for all we know this could be Bryan Singer's way of having a Superboy for one of the sequels.

Don't forget the same thing happened to Wolverine over at Marvel with the reveal of his long lost son. :o

Would X-23 be his "daughter"? :confused:
