Damn, but that’s a lot of tap-dancing in order to remove one count of genocide from Supermans rap sheet…

I think it’s the lovechild between Nimrod and the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

It makes PERFECT SENSE.

(And it was probably programmed by Luthor.)

Look, millions of years ago the Dinosaurs evolved and created/headed a galactic civilization that spanned galaxies. Like the UFP from the 30th century, many of them came to Earth. As the Dino Federation of Planets died off, the enclaves of the different species died off – some of them leaving behind artifacts like this one.

As for why we’ve never found any trace of them, their civilization was made of car keys and socks which will, obviously, disappear into nothingness. Why are they showing up now? Because we don’t need them!

Makes sense to me, anyway…

I remember that issue. Byrne dropped a lot of hints that the ‘H’v'l’e'r’n'i’ were proto-Kryptonians. They left Earth, ignored Rann, and settled on a high-gravity thin-atmosphere tectonically unstable planet orbiting a flare star.

Yes, according to John Byrne the early Kryptonians were idiots.

Looks a bit like the Fantastic Four’s opponent Terminus.

It was kinda an awesome robot in truth, not every supervillain can get punche and blasted by superman and look unscratched. Also his style was simple and elegant at same time. And distant Fred is right, batman had no groudn for ebing so skeptical, albeit….Well in world full of fantastic things, is hard ot be all that skptical, and Batman , being Batman, know that this make you more vulnerable to being mind tricked. If you do not make some search and investigation how do you know an alien is not a fake? Given the information the he got Batman’s suspect are justified. Superman can be extremely naive sometimes, ya know.

So, now we have “why you should write World’s Finest”. Great stuff. I’m still hoping for you on the Legion.

That robot looks almost exactly like the Shingu from Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars, which was both a very good show and the only show that ever made me say “Stop going on about aliens and secret powers! I WANT TO SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE CULTURAL FESTIVAL!”

It might have come from a past from an alternate timeline.

Later, in a story named “Time & Time Again”, Superman is accidentally stranded back in time due to explosions and gets to their city – just in time to watch them leave. We never found out what they looked like.

Oh, and I’d change that ‘Predate’ to ‘Pre-Date’. It’s a minor, obsessive-compulsive quibble, but you’ll admit there’s a significant difference between merely coming before another species and keeping their numbers down by devouring them.

Not a huge, difference. But a significant one.

Unless Batman’s just pissed about NAFTA costing WayneCo. jobs or something.

Somewhere, there’s a bunch of domestically made super robots standing in a room, shaking their fists, and shouting, “Dey tooker jobs!”

I’m still not clear on how a terrestrially-originating race qualifies as ‘alien’. Unless Batman’s just pissed about NAFTA costing WayneCo. jobs or something.
