I never realised 'Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow' was canon. I always thought it was an Elseworlds story.

The trouble with this re-ordering of the characters' universes is that if you follow, for example, the DC universe as if it were one story, when it suddenly all changes, that story is finished. Your investment in the story that follows can't be taken for granted by the publishers just because it has the same characters in it. Those characters, their situation, their background, origin, rationale, and the way they interact with one another may change so much as a result that their story isn't one you want to read anymore.

For example: The Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, died. His title continued though, and Kyle Raynor became Green Lantern. I was quite happy with Kyle being Green Lantern, although I lost interest in the title when the editors kept sending Kyle into space in spin-off titles and getting Jade or John Stewart to stand in for Kyle in the main Green Lantern title. Now that they've brought Hal Jordan back to life and made him Green Lantern again, brought the Green Lantern Corps back to life as well, and sent Kyle Raynor back into space and made him not a Green Lantern any more but something called 'Ion', which all fits nicely with the post Infinite Crisis DCU, nothing would induce me to read either Green Lantern or Ion.

Batman fucks off for a year, leaving Harvey Dent in charge of Gotham. What the..?

Think I'll stick to 2000ad for a while.

And New Avengers.
And Astonishing X-Men
And Civil War.
And All Star Superman.
And Batman (Morrison's starting a run soon)
Ooh, a new Flash, that might be interesting.
And I think I'll pick up- Wait a minute...
Damn you American Comics!

Nit pick: You forgot to capitalise Onions.
