Line 9:
Because Batman will track them down regardless. He is, after all, the goddamn Batman.
 
== The ''New Frontier'' Universe was the original pre-[[Crisis Onon Infinite Earths|Crisis]] universe. ==
According to writer/artist Darwyn Cooke, the story is set in a "prime continuity" where the most of the heroes debuted when they were first published. This universe in which ''DC: The New Frontier'' takes place was the first and original universe, before Krona's experiment created the multiverse.
* Would that have been Earth-1, Earth-2, or Earth-4?
Line 32:
** Besides, in at least two alternate continuities, Billy Batson is black. So why not blonde?
** True. But this universe is supposed to follow the original continuity of the DC characters. Captain Marvel was seen with black hair. Though, Billy's CM form is suppose to resemble his dad, who has black hair.
*** In the original continuity, there was no Center, no in-universe beef against superheroes by the government, [[Martian Manhunter]] did not look like a grown-up [[E.T. the Extraterrestrial (Film)Extra-Terrestrial|E.T.]] in his native form, and [[Wonder Woman]] did not have an adventure involving rape victims in Indochina in [[The Fifties]] -- she was too busy fighting Egg Fu and the like. ''The New Frontier'' is meant to ''evoke'' the style of the early Silver Age, not to be a carbon-copy of it.
** In the ''original'' continuity CM wasn't even part of [[The DCU]]. Fawcett wasn't sold to DC until 1971, and their alternate universe wasn't made part of the mainstream DCU until [[Post-Crisis]].
* Billy Batson appears in a scene from the book that was not adapted into the movie, but he still looks completely different from the kid the cultists had. Maybe he's "Hill Billy" of the Lieutenant Marvels?
