This is a thread for various events, stories, and other minutia that nobody but (You) remember from over the decades.
In the early 2000's there was a Darth Vader Zod who was the irradiated son of two cosmonauts. He beat the shit out of Superman and made him his bitch even breaking his jaw. He was actually quite kino and scary. Thus far he has stayed dead since 2003 after hurling himself at Superman and killing himself.

This. From Crisis in the mid 80s, DC editorial had a hardline rule that Superman was the only surviving Kryptonian, and writers kept having to find ways to work around that rule to have versions of Supergirl and Zod around. After Loeb finally got to break the rule and introduce a modern version of the real Supergirl, we eventually got a real Zod as well, so nobody's felt any need to bring this guy back, though OP was right about him being a good villain right up until his last appearance where he just lost his powers instantly and died.
IIRC this Zod storyline and the 'Return to Krypton' plot during that era both had to be changed mid-run because of DC wanting Waid's Birthright mini to be the 'official' new Superman origin at the time.

The rewrites were due to OWAW killing the sales for the Loeb-Kelly Men of Action Superbooks. This is according to a former protege's of Loebs. This is why the Krypton in the Phantom Zone is retconned to be B-13 shit since Loeb originally had hoped to recouncile the silver age Krypton with the Byrne Krypton

Is it possible? Byrne's Krypton was designed from ground up to bury Krypton as a concept, it is like trying to live in harmony with a malignant tumor.

Apparently Batman's cape is weighted with metal that's sharp enough to fucking cut you.

Kid Amazo from Justice League Confidential. Starts off as a college guy that finds out he has powers. Then he finds out he's the son of Amazo. Justice League try to take him under their care and train him but they start acting weird and push him away. He learns how to use his powers from Amazo. Finds out that his girlfriend that he's been fucking is his mother, goes crazy, fights the Justice League, and fucking dies. It's fucking weird.

Absolute Batman's cape has a 'bat-thumb' that he uses to vault with and hook people. Kinda borrowing the idea of nolan's batman with the rigid spines allowing him to glide with the cape, only used as a weapon/utility tool.
