"He's a DOG with SUPERPOWERS!"

Listen, all I'm saying is that if you're going to do Krypto, you should do it like this. Good clean fun for the kids.

But why oh why must he be a part of modern DC continuity? To hear Jeph Loeb talk about him (usually in hushed, reverent tones), you'd think the concept of a dog with Superman's powers had limitless story potential. He's a disparately stupid element in a universe that's supposed to be somewhat serious. But then the same could be said of everything that happens in Superman/Batman. From my point of view Superman/Batman existing in the same continuity as Azzarello's Superman is like Racing Stripes having continuity ties to Chinatown.

Also, reintroducing Supergirl into modern continuity is like Bruce Wayne waking up one day to find that one of his parents is still alive. And yes, I thank the sweet Lord every day that Jeph Loeb did not get his hands on that proposed Buffy animated series. Although maybe he'd do better with a property that didn't have any bad ideas to reintroduce.

I like complaining! Rain helps.
