Nevermind that there are decades' worth of evidence for plate tectonics, Neal says the continents match together because the Earth blew up like a child's balloon. Even Scientology makes more sense, and Scientology is the idiot stepchild of religion and science fiction that truly makes no sense.
Scientology doesn't make more sense that the expanding earth hypothesis. It was a legitimate stance to have at one time... Scientology, however, has never been.

Also... I saw some of the previews for this series and laughed at how bad it looked, not visually, but in actually capturing th character that is Batman.

You know, after Miller's disastrous and equally insanely-comical spin a couple years ago, I have to wonder if someone at DC just totally hates Batman. I mean, how could any reasonable editor let any of this crap get past the script stage?
