DC comics that have jumped the shark

Are you considering the backups too? Because I'm convinced there's something somewhere. I honestly will have to see it for myself, because if there isn't my memory is playing tricks on me.

All of the plot points I've listed are from the backups. The only thing in the main story that hints at a connection is the mention of the heart-shaped pin, but we never see the pin on Martha Wayne, not even in pictures of her, until the end of the arc. The pregnancy and her looking pregnant are only in the backups, and go unmentioned until near the end as well. The backups actually try and force a lot of information into the story that's supposed to serve as evidence, but it's a backup, so it follows the story and feels like some sort of instant retcon. It was quite odd.

(Though we are getting quite off topic here...)

[Crisis]

So true. At least with Crisis on Infinite Earths we got the "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" story. What is there for Flashpoint?

you do know that story...it wasn't Earth 1 Superman right?

[Captain Smith]

More a slow mo - jump. When the entities were introduced in the GL books. Started much stupidity, leading to life starting on Earth - demonstrating a total lack of knowledge of cosmology. True, some of the other corps are interesting but I liked it better when the Guardians powered the Corps rather than some giant roaches or fishes.

Honestly, the Nu52 comic I can think of that has truly "jumped the shark" was Catwoman after that horrid #0 issue with Ann Nocenti. Ever since, I've been staying far, far away from that series, I don't care that the book is part of the "Death of the Family" arc, I'm not picking up the issues as long as Ann is still on the series.

-Morrison jumped the shark by letting reader's know that Bruce was merely shot through time when all the characters thought he was dead (minus Tim). Made all the character reactions to his death lose all emotional impact for me since I knew it was not true.

Did you seriously think Bruce was dead? Was this your first super hero comic?

^ This.

This except I'd never say Death of Superman was a shark jumper.

Who was it?
