Hey, I found this journal by following the link from the SV Ledger to the smabble challenge, and then saw this post; I hope it's okay to comment.

Thank you! And sorry if I've intruded on your journal.

I should've said "technically" because then end of WHttmoT is based on Silver Age Superman while Kingdom Come is based on Golden Age Superman and Superman/Batman is obviously Post-Crisis and all of those have different continuities. But I do like your explanation of why the ending rocks and I think I'll edit my post to including this reasoning. And it's never an intrusion if it strikes up a conversation like this ;)
