World War III: Dispatch from the Front

*Sigh*

I'm not sure I even have the heart to rant about this Newsarama interview with 52 editor Michael Siglain:

Let me just pick out one thread from the skein...

NRAMA: Obviously, it's easy to armchair quarterback this fight, but...Adam was killing people on the ground, and the casualty and damage rate was staggering. Why not haul his butt into space from the start?

MS: That would've been ideal, if the heroes worked together enough to formulate a plan that would've launched him into space. Instead, chaos reigned supreme and the fight was more a free-for-all...at least until Captain Marvel and the mystics got involved.

At the risk of repeating myself: Marvels, Martians, Amazons, Green Lanterns, and the entire Justice Society fighting across the globe for an entire week, and in that time (and boy, aside from a few scrapes and costume tears, sure doesn't look like these folks have been in the %$#@ for an entire week) and not a single person in the entire assembly of heroes thought to step back from the fray for 30 seconds to think of, you know, a plan?

And, I mean, we're not so much talking about an original plan here or anything. We're talking about the exact same plan that Superman and Superman, and the Green Lanterns, and every single other DC hero capable of flight had used against Superboy Prime less than a year earlier.

Superboy Prime is rampaging on Earth? Haul his @$$ into space. It worked once, and no one thought to try it again during the entire course of a @#$%ing week-long battle?
