Continuity Waves [DC Comics]

So, how did Jason Todd come back from the dead? Was it the open gateway as stated in Teen Titans or was it these waves? So, no only do we have the nonsensical item of people being able to punch through reality barriers, now they cause shifts in continuity when they do it? Johns has truly lost his mind.

Yeah, try while making new ones.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes, but they'd recently explained in Teen Titans that the Door into Death or something like that was being held open and spirits weren't be kept in check. Superman, Hal Jordan, Oliver Queen, and Jason Todd were all mentioned as having come due to this.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well, some of that can be scientifically explained. Others operate off of a genetic mutation we couldn't possibly try to understand because we have no basis for its existance. Granted, a Speed Force is a little out there. I just think giving people the ability to punch through reality barriers is streching the lines of logic and reason.

How ya doing, buddy?

I was unaware that the Earth-One Superman had ever done that. Him being able to do that stretches the rules of reason and logic as well. That was probably part of the reason they lessened Supes' power after Crisis. But, if that had already been set as fact, I guess breaking reality barriers isn't much different.

I was speaking idiomatically.

But in the DC universe, are we really sure there are any of those things? Have you seen a television with Rugrats? HAve they mentioned an ozone hole? The assasination still happened, but eh. If they do exist there, then that explains how those things happened in DC. How does this explain how they happened here?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Did you not read the second half of that post? I tried to counter sarcasm with more sarcasm.

Woo! I finally thought up a good counter! When the classic Superman time traveled under his own power, he didn't do so by punching through a time barrier. He did it by exceeding the speed of time. A reality barrier shouldn't be something physical that can punched through, just like time can't be punched through. Now, if SP and Earth02 Supers had somehow sped up fast enough to overcome the reality barrier, it would have been better, but still not quite reasonable.

How was Superman able to punch through the barrier if SP had already punched through the barrier?

FELIPE NO

HULK STRONGER THAN PUNY FLOWER!
