I really hate the ambiguity of the bronze/dark/modern age and how to parse it
Bronze Age starts with the Death of Gwen Stacy and ends with The Dark Knight Returns
Iron Age is the 90's (there's a bit of crossover, like with all historical ages) and ends in the early 2000's
It's too early to say what the ten years since then have really been like for comics but I'd say a renaissance age sounds about right. You have a decline of the trashy, uber-violent guns and knives comics of the 90's and a return to classic superheroes and silver age fun. Golden Age superheroes also get a push due to works like the Marvels Project, a really successful JSA and so on. That kind of emphasis on classic characters, stories and themes being modernised says renaissance age to me, the fact that comics are, on the whole better than the kind of shit that was popular ten years ago says a lot.
Of course, DC has returned to the Iron Age styles in a big way now, because they suck, but hopefully that will pass.

No no no, I will grumble that that Quasar cover never happens in the issue. It's basically Her/Kismet telling Quasar she wants to mate with him over other heroes on earth, who she stuck these cocoons on their backs to make halfsie type Warlock beings. And then Quasar tells her to live life before starting a species and she decides to hang around and be his sidekick for a bit.
The cool thing about living in the DCU would be that Superman would almost certainly play the role of Santa for reals. He probably doesn't hit every kid's home, but I bet he visits every orphanage and hospital in the world at Christmas time.

Yeah Superman is cool like that
And he's a way better Father Christmas than Batman
He punched Father Bat-mas in the face!

well it depends, if he's transferring the flame from one to light the other, that's ok ( I think) but if he's lighting two at once, then ya that's wrong.

Well, you wouldn't expect him to hang out with the DC heroes, now would you?
It's Ultimate Black Panther. He wasn't able to say no.
I love this cover
Also countdown until Tex comes in and starts grumbling about how comics used to be a dollar, five, four, three...
Who cares that it never happened. Look at that cover. It's wonderful. The expression on his face!
Although actually, it is a time travel arc, I suppose it is possible. And for reals, it would be pretty damn cool.
If it doesn't happen I will laugh at you though.
edit ack huge, spoilering for size lil luther and joker
