I've been thinking about what direction superhero films could take in this TL (again) as it looks like DC will dominate the 80s with the Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman seeing theatrical releases by decade's end while Marvel either sits it out or is regulated to TV. I need someone to refresh...

I imagine that Chretien will win the 1984 elections because he possesses a certain charisma that MacDonald appears to lack. However, it's most likely that the PCs won't implode they way they did in 1993 OTL so they'll be a relevant force in Canadian politics. The big question on my mind is what...

Did he attempt to write/publish a creative work of his own, or was he primarily focused on academic works? Similarly, was he influential on popular culture in any way? (I'm thinking in similar capacity to OTL Joseph Campbell.)

A) If you had the power of foresight of what Gobbels would do to Klara, how would you have dealt with him? C) What are your thoughts on the decline of the British Empire in OTL? D) Do you believe that a constitutional amendment on presidential term limits is necessary or prudent? G) What are...

I decided to look up OTL's The Living Daylights and found this tidbit on Wikipedia regarding the casting of James Bond: I'm not saying that Mr. President should do it and it's unlikely to happen without Broccoli's approval, but still an still an interesting notion, eh?

This needs to be adjusted since the Doom Patrol debuted in My Greatest Adventure #80, which came out in 1963 and would later be renamed to Doom Patrol with issue 86. That is, if the Doom Patrol is ever created or debuts in a different title ITTL.

Just a thought: there can be a new Black Condor who becomes the protege of Hawkman. He can have a similar appearance and origin to Northwind from Infinity Inc.

I imagine that the dubs of both Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets) and Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers) still materialize ITTL. The big question on my mind is if there will be any changes to broadcasting standards that allow for merchandise-driven shows like Masters of the Universe, G.I. Joe...

Courtney didn't appear until 1999 so the circumstances of her creation may change as Geoff Johns based the character after his sister, who died in TWA Flight 800 disaster. Sylvester could potentially return as a member TTL's counterpart of the Teen Titans with Pat (Stripesy) as their mechanic...

I was wondering what the fate of some of other JSA members were. Rip Hunter was said to be the new Hourman, but I can't remember if others like Starman, Dr. Mid-Nite, Johnny Thunder, Mister Terrific, and Sandman were ever mentioned. Then there are other some obscure Golden Age heroes that can...

It goes back even farther than that as several women came forward with sexual harassment and assault allegations against Julius Schwartz after his 2004 death IOTL. I made the suggestion that they come out earlier and force Schwartz into an early retirement, which leads to a shakeup at DC...

I'm guessing this refers to "The Sandman Saga" by Denny O'Neill, which ran from Superman #233 to 242. Unfortunately if this mirrors what happened in OTL, then it may still be undermined and forgotten because the Superman titles were divided among several editors after Mort Weisinger retired in...

Neat. Hit me up via PM if you have questions or need any insights.

It still makes me wonder (no pun intended) if Carter would still make a cameo or Wonder Woman gets a name drop in Superman II. The outlook is good for this TL as I get the impression that Superman avoided the behind-the-scenes drama that happened between Richard Donner and the Salkinds OTL and...

This scene always plays in my mind whenever someone mentions that song... Boy can he kick, eh?
