It is hard to weigh the pros and cons. If we went all the way back to Pre-CoIE, we'd lose a lot of Post-CoIE stuff I liked, such as Young Justice, Angel Supergirl, and Wally Flash.

As much as I love pre-COIE DC, going back would mean we lose a lot of great stuff (Wally West as the Flash, DnA Legion, Young Justice, etc.). DC just needs to go back to the pre-Flashpoint DCU and make do with what they had. Yes DC, you fucked up big time with stuff like Identity Crisis and Cry for Justice, but now you need to move past that and give us good stuff again. Take the bad with the good and make the universe a better place again.
Keep up with what I've been watching lately! "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you."

Go back to pre-Crisis continuity, and then give the post-Crisis continuity its own Earth.

I love your idea, EDE. In fact, I might turn it into a story. Thank you.

Oh goodie! A Fanfie story about Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis Earths existing! I'm all for rewinding and pretending Flashpoint never existed I have never read an Avengers comic. Actually, I have only ever read a handful of Marvel comics ever. At about age eight, I decided I was a DC fan and always felt I'd be disloyal if I read a Marvel. Thirty-seven years later, here I am. Like Rocky, I decided from an early age that I preferred the more hopeful and upbeat DC Universe. Although modern comics don't stay true to the old DC, at least I have my memories

Actually, there have been ample rumors/hints that DC will be bringing back pre-Flashpoint DCU in some capacity, at least. While it's doubtful that it will be reinstated as THE DCU, there's at the very least going to be a major crossover involving it in spring/summer 2015. There's some speculation that there could even be some kind of merge/continuity correction reinstating certain aspects of it into a corrected DCnU. In any case the pre-Flashpoint DCU definitely still exists.
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

That's good news, Lardy! Although, I'd rather have it back whole and continue from there, rather than have a new merger and continuity shakeup again. Ah well. In any case, I'll keep myself updated on the news.

If they bring back ALL the old costumes, that would be a major step in getting me back as a reader.

I don't like to play devil's advocate, but DC has a thirty-year history of botching its attempted continuity fixes, especially when it tries to mix and match bits of different continuities. And with the current regime having proved itself so incompetent in the past decade, I don't see any reason to be optimistic about these possible developments.
Just my opinion.

I think that's a very valid warning, Fanfie.

It is, but it's nice to hang on to a little glimmer of hope.

Anyway, does the continuity really matter at this point? As long as you've got the current regime in charge at DC, it's probably still not going to producing comics I want to read.

That's another valid warning, EDE. Although I agree with Rocky, it is nice to have just a little bit of hope. Just a little So, random, I took a sick day today and slept most of the day away. I dreamed that Postboot Legion continuity had changed - Legion membership was now in this order: Cosmic Boy, Live Wire, Saturn Girl Apparition, Triad Leviathan, XS, Chameleon, Invisible Kid, Brainiac 5, Spark, Kinetix, Violet Andromeda, Element Lad and Gates The last three were introduced to the Legion during RJ Brande's birthday party. RJ Brande had a white dog called Krypto. In Gates' first appearance, he picked up the dog and said, "You ate the cake!" Gates opened his mouth wide, and Triad hit him on the head with a newspaper because she thought he was going to eat Krypto. And then they got called into battle against some ships firing missiles, and then I woke up.

Wow, Ibby, that really...takes the cake. All kidding aside, I don't dream that much about comic books, but for some reason I have a recurring dream about discovering some great "lost" Mario Bava movie.

Not childhood, but late adolescence. I was a major horror buff in my late teens and early twenties, when I first discovered the movies of Mario Bava and Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci, and the writings of Clive Barker and Stephen King. Heady times, my friend, heady times.

"Fanfie" is one of my favorite LW nicknames (also one of my favorite Legion Worlders, but I digress. ) I started a "Nicknames" thread a while back to discuss what we call each other here.

It's funny how nicknames are created.
I wonder if Blaze will ever get a nickname. His user name is already so short!

How about "Bla-Z"? It's pronounced the same way as Jay-Z.

... but for some reason I have a recurring dream about discovering some great "lost" Mario Bava movie. Yeah, I get that one. But I only discover the cut American version and it's a dream of panic trying to put together the missing pieces for the European edit. It's old school editing too, and sharp objects and this type of movie, well...

Thoth, LOL
It's so different today than it was 20 years ago to search for Italo-Gore movies. Today, we have Bava and Argento DVD boxed sets! Back then, though, one had to scour video store after video store just to find one movie, and, more often than not, it was a butchered version.

Oh, you'll say that "butchered" was an unintentional pun There was a huge amount of fun in going to video stores just for the sheer pot luck variety in what you would find.

It was fun. Just as much fan was searching bookstore for cult movie fanpress publications. The internet was still in its infancy back then. I realized that I hadn't chosen the best word to describe bad editing right after I hit "Submit".
