I've always dug that about Marvel, but at times it pays to have a few Gothams and Metropolis's, ya know?

We're still feeling the impact 9/11 to this day, but how long did the ripple effect last in the MU? A month or two? Then it was back to business as usual?

Mind you I'm not really criticizing them here. It was just a sticky situation. They couldn't not talk about it, yet there was no way to really address it within that superhero context and really do it right without completely restructuring everything. It was kind of a no-win situation. I give them props for trying though.
