    The Shazam one looks so cool though.

    look

    you know me and shazam are like this

    but the chance that it's related to Batman Beyond

    i gotta take it

    man it really doesn't matter because everyone is going to vote for the batman green lantern anyway

    it's how these things work

    Agreed.

    However, my vote was based completely on apparent bust size in the pictures provided and for no other reason.

    It's gonna be Vampire Bats, GL Bats, Red Son Supes and... WW I'm not sure about.

    That said, I voted Liberty Files, Earth-5, Red Son, and Justice Riders.

    I went with GL Batman, Red Rain Batman, Superman Red Son and Wonder Woman Amazonia.

    Not sure why they went with GL Batman. No one will vote for the two other no names they made up for Arena. They could have chosen someone from a different Elseworlds or something. The Arabian GL with the genie or something. Wonder Woman should have had a Kingdom Come version as well. Dont get hte evolved Superman made for Arena. Superman is already pretty damn super. How much more evolved could he get? Seemed like a generic character made simply because they wanted Red Son picked.

    Ya that "evolved" superman character looked like crap. Made no sense either, oh and did I mention he looked like something you'd scrape off your shoe after wandering through a pig pen?

    Voted for:

    Possible Batman Beyond Green Lantern
    Gotham by Gaslight Batman
    Justice Riders Wonder Woman
    Red Son Superman because the other two were boring.

    To be fair, the art is really mediocre to bad stuff all around. I imagine that since the mysterious debuting GL & Superman don't have any established art to copy, the artist only had some conceptual sketches to work off of.

    I didn't vote for New Frontier WW because I didn't want to see them messing with it.

    Leave New Frontier alone. It's done. There's nothing you can do with it. It is a perfect masterpiece.

    Batman Earth-19
    Green Lantern Earth-12
    Wonder Woman Earth-34
    Superman Earth-30

    The Batman choice was easily the most difficult, Green Lantern was a toss-up between Bat GL and Batman Beyond GL and then I just picked the Wonder Woman one at random. The Superman choice wasn't even a choice, they may as well've just had Red Son Superman in all three spots.

    oh

    that was supposed to be New Frontier Wonder Woman?

    What the fuck's special about her?

    New Frontier took place in the mainstream DCU as far as I'm concerned.

    So I voted:

    Gaslamp Batman (is that story easy to find, by the way?)
    Green Lantern Batman (likewise?)
    Justice Riders Wondy (like others have mentioned, I don't want 'em fucking around with New Frontier)
    Red Son Superman (because I mean, fuck, only meaningful choice in that category)

    Marz's cryptic "I don't want to say" comments over on the comicbloc worry me a little bit that the Kyle we're seeing in Countdown could be an alternate Earth Kyle, rather than the New Earth Kyle.

    I wouldn't be buying Countdown + tie-ins if I knew it was an anternate Earth Kyle. bah.

    It's probably not.

    Well, Kyle is supposed to be from a different Earth, him being an anomoly and all. I forget which one, but Jean Paul Valley and Donna Troy are supposed to be fromthe same one or something. DC's far too confusing these days with their continuity.

    I'm pretty sure they said in a panel that it's "our" Kyle
    Plus he says he's just a Green Lantern now, so he was Ion

    On the other hand, if they hadn't fucked it up, we could still get proper Question stories and suchlike.
