Recursive fiction is fun. It would be funny if Clark wrote a fictional story that was realistic(like our universe) and people in his fantastic universe thought it was unrealistic(e.g. People should get super powers from Freak Lab Accidents, not end up in intensive care).
Love is Love is Love
Grant's metafiction is nauseating at times. Earth-two might be the worst.
My various fanfics.
Overly Long Running Gag?
Grant Morrison's insane and contradictory meta-textual nonsense is my favorite thing in comic books.
You're just in time. Bayble Cuber's going to watch an inkle dribble adventure from days of old on my holo-pyramid viewer.
Is there any difference between having a fictional character write a fictional story or create a fictional universe? Either way, you are making a story within a story. And we can keep going with the recursive fiction. Does Clark know about the Fourth Wall or not? Of course, fictional characters don't really "know" anything, but writers/artists seem to like to have Superman wink at the reader in older stories...
With as much exposition as went on in his thought balloons, I think you could make the case that Silver Age Superman knew about the fourth wall...
Didn't he even go to DC Comics editorial on Earth prime?
S.E.A captain
Crisis on earth prime i think
" I did the right thing, didn't I? It all worked out in the end." "In the end? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends."
There was some story where the DCU version of someone at DC Comics got merged with the Earth prime version because he was dying. It was a birthday surprise for the editor or something.
The Head of the Hydra
Ya know while Deathstroke is one of my favorite characters I realize I didn't know much bout his background. Like I know he had 3 kids & a close companion called Wintergreen but that's it.
Like wow is he really blonde? Always thought he was a brunet. Also in the new Deathstroke issue where was Rose cause Grant & Jericho were seen together?
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
Deathstroke is a platinum blond, like his daughter Rose.

Oh shit, Rose & Jericho are half-siblings? I did not know that.
When did Slade meet her mom then?
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
When they went into Slade Wilson's past waaay back in the New Teen Titans in the '80's, Wolfman and Perez showed him as having conventional blond hair he was a young man, which would imply that it went white as he got older.

Actually the white hair was a side effect of the super soldier syrum pumped into him which made him a bad ass
" I did the right thing, didn't I? It all worked out in the end." "In the end? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends."
Some variant covers.
Jenny Frison draws a gorgeous Wonder Woman. I want to get a print of that cover and frame it.
Is Garth supposed to be non white now? That's the second image I've seen where he has a darker skin toke than the others.

Forget that when did terry suddenly go "hey thatt azrael guys armor back in bruces day was neat i want some of that schway 90s nostalgia"
" I did the right thing, didn't I? It all worked out in the end." "In the end? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends."
Well Terry is a 90s character by origin.
So a question about DC backstage politics that I never quite understood: what was Bob Kane's exact motive in betraying Bill Finger? I know Kane made a special arrangement to have his name on Batman media, something that was almost never done with artists in the Golden Age, but why did this necessitate hanging Finger out to dry? That just seems excessive.

So it really was "just to be a dick?"
He did the same thing with Siegel and Shuster, who were going to sue DC Comics in an attempt to get the rights of Superman back: Siegel tried to enlist Kane (since Batman's rights were also going to be up), but Kane went behind his back and told DC, in exchange for a higher percentage of the profits. And then he claimed that his original contract was invalid because he lied about his age and signed it as a minor (which was a complete and total lie). Read more about it here.

@ Fourth Wall: It gets really confusing when Grant treats Real Life as "just another universe in the DC Multiverse and comics are real" one day (Earth-Prime anyone?) and "they're all fictional and I'm gonna screw with the characters that they have no free will or thought" (Animal Man) the next. Make up your mind!
