Try and sneak out the window on me, why don't ya!
This is a re-post from the old comm. Just a little snippet from DC's "Millennium".

Poor Batman. You and the Commish sure do have your moments, don't you?

	Honestly, I don't even know the full story. I believe there is some kind of body-snatchers or mind-control type deal going on, and superheroes are getting picked off one by one by people they trust. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Manhunter robots replaced the friends of heroes. Or they were brainwashed in some cases.... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	As mentioned it's Manhunter Robots. They're roughly number 3 on the Guardians biggest mistakes of all time (behind not realizing something was wrong with Scar and not realizing that Hal was possessed by Parallax.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nah, #4 maybe. Have you read the GL graphic novel Ganthlet's Tale? THAT is the #1 screw up of the Guardians. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't forget giving a ring to a guy named Sinestro. That's gotta be in the top five. I mean, c'mon, Sinestro? "Okay, we have three finalists for the vacancy in the Green Lantern Corps; Mr. Integrity, GroovyDude and Sinstro. Hmmm..." "Mr. Integrity and GroovyDude? Those names were obviously made-up. I'd go with Sinestro. He's got a face you can trust." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DC suddenly decided to pull this shocking revelation out of it's ass,The Manhunter robot were behind everything in the DC universe. Longstanding characters were really sleeper agents for the Manhunters waiting for instructions. Lana Lang was another one. Worst crossover ever ! (yes worse than "2000") (Reply to this) (Parent)

	After seeing Batman pull his disappearing act on Jim so many times, I like the reversal of roles here. :) (Reply to this)

Worst. Crossover. Ever. Worse than Identity Crisis? Yes, if only for sheer breadth of reach.

At least Jim Gordon was revealed to have been kidnapped & replaced by a lookalike Manhunter. Unlike the supporting cast members in The Outsiders & Suicide Squad who were revealed to really really be sincere Manhunter cult converts & immediately killed off. Oops, so much for their arcs!

And then there's the steaming pile of lunacy Wonder Woman got: Supposedly, the god Pan was killed & replaced 1000 years previous by an android, & no one noticed.

Yeah.
