They weakly flutter their dorsal fin, and are barely able to move through the water. They are ludicrous. They live among seaweed where they are hidden and barely need to move. Using a huge one as a mount makes about as much sense as using a Macy's parade balloon as a fighter jet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-34281162900843848752008-08-07T21:20:00.000-05:002008-08-07T21:20:00.000-05:00How about that annotated Final Crisis #1?

She <I>remembers</I> Krypton, she <I>lived</I> there. Kal-El is a student of Krypton, but Kara's the only one who has <I>experienced</I> it.<BR/><BR/>Krypton only truly survives through Kara's memories. Thus, she might feel a duty to preserve those memories for posterity. How? Through art! (Or writing, or video blogging, or who knows what medium.)<BR/><BR/>As soon as I thought of it, I loved this idea, and it makes me want to write a Supergirl series myself. This "artistic purpose" would drive her in all sorts of interesting directions, with story potential. She enrolls in college - no, no secret identity, just "Kara Zor-El, Freshman." Studying different forms of artistic expression, learning the craft, interacting with lots of normal humans....<BR/><BR/>(And one interesting/potentially amusing aspect is that this is basically a lifelong project for her. Right now, she might not be a *good* artist. She's learning, and might be quite terrible at present, or not finding the right medium to express herself yet.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-7277151140100639732008-08-07T07:52:00.000-05:002008-08-07T07:52:00.000-05:00I have to admit to being impressed with both the r...I have to admit to being impressed with both the return of the REAL Aquaman and Barry.<BR/><BR/>I also think that I've discovered the plot twist to Final Crises.
