Along the way we:Visit Earth Prime’s real-life comic writersSide-eye the many doomed SupergirlsDetour into Mike Grell’s dinosaur-infested underworldAnd somehow end up discussing that random duck in Journey to the Center of the Earth!Expect:Canon deep dives that will melt your continuity chartTrivia side quests with zero exit strategy“Wait, who is that guy again?” moments every five minutesMore character deaths than a Shakespeare marathonTime travel logic so wobbly it needs a neck braceAnd at least one wild theory we instantly regretAll that… until the next reboot wipes it from existence!
