Hello and as

as promise last time we are discussing Marv Wolfman and George Perez's

crisis on infinite earths as you'll see with the fantastic backdrop behind us, the looming anti-monitor right in the middle.

Now for those who don't know, Crisis on Infinite Earths was the 12-part Maxi series that helped DC celebrate

its 50th anniversary and was the means by which in

universe they used an annual event to condense all of their multiverse continuity

down to one single chronological earth that has cohesiveness and makes a degree of sense.

There were still issues. Yeah. Yeah. One of my questions with it, how necessary was that to do that how like before crisis on

infinite Earth how difficult and confusing was it actually to keep a track of the

DC universe if you were reading along with it or was it basically as complicated as it would be to just keep up with all the different series that they would have running afterwards anyway.

Okay, there's two different questions.

Oh, okay.

So, unbelievably complicated.

Oh, all right, okay.

Because as we covered in our two-part history of comics, which you should watch by the way,

remember that this was the same Batman who was fighting vampires and killing people in the

30s, then paling around on the Zuron earth and fighting robots in the 40s 50s, and then somehow still the same age in 60s 70s and 80s despite going

through two robins and a bunch of failed relationship. Is this is this not

how they explain it with the Earth 1 and Earth 2 Batman?

The same way that from what I could tell from reading this, Earth 2 Superman is the

Superman from the original action comics and Earth One

Superman is just the Superman in the more recent series up to that point?
