More Official way into Praetoria?

I don't think there's supposed to be anthing canonical about the entrance to Praetoria in Pocket D. Having it there lets Heroes and Villains from Primal Earth go to Praetoria to collect badges without causing any sort of stir by having it occupy the same fantasy zone where Heroes and their mortal enemies can hang out without fighting.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.
Warning: This poster likes to play Devil's Advocate.
Fantasy zone? DJ Zero is one of the most powerful mutant supers alive. Not interested in world domination or heroism, he created a pocket dimension using his powers and built a night club in it. DJ Zero is his own bouncer: anyone who makes trouble gets teleported into their own personal pocket dimension... with nothing else in it.

Well seeing how at the end of Tin Mage you have almost every hero you've ever seen in the game standing at the portal with a company of Vanguard Soldiers, and still they know they're going to lose.
Maybe a tank or two like when they had the portal to the Rikti Crash Site tucked in that corner?

That's right! Chuck Norris got his head handed to him by DJ Zero. He literally teleported Chuck's head off of his shoulders and gave it back to him.

And you think a couple tanks is going to help?!?

I don't see how much security would be needed. Sure, a Praetor or three could probably fit through that manhole (not so sure about Marauder), but somehow I doubt the glorious armies of the Praetorian Revolutionary Guard and their buddies the War Walkers are all going to fit through that tiny crawlspace.

But that doesn't change the fact that putting a couple tanks in front of the door and a few soldiers isn't going to do a whole lot of good.

Fine then, shatter my dreams of Marauder getting stuck in a manhole.
Now I hate to be presumptuous about the storyline Paragon Studios is making, but it seems like this whole flare up with Praetoria will dull into a cold war.
Maybe we can get a little bit more canonical with the way we get to praetoria?

This way you have a nice setting for new Tip/Morality missions (Rularuu outbreaks and whatnot) and we have a less hassled way into Praetoria when more content starts opening up.
Keep the Shadow Shard portal on the left though, and make the portal on the right to Praetoria.
