What is rebooting? Starting another story based off the original.
You aren't understanding that. You keep telling me they started over so the old doesn't matter. BUT THE THING IS IT DOES MATTER! The original superman, the one created by the CREATORS of superman is still that specific superman.
And notice that i'm talking about cartoons + Comics, while you are focusing solely on comics.
And no it is not a bad analogy, it is the same analogy. Only difference is that rock lee giaden is happening while kishimoto's Naruto. However, that is a reboot of the characters. NOT THE SERIES. You cannot reboot a series, you can only reboot a character.
Are you putting this up, so you can continue to claim what is canon and what is not, and not accept the fact that they are 2 different things created by 2 different people, however are the same product?
Honestly if you think the original superman can easiest be compare to the current superman you're deluded and basically never read a pre crisis superman book in you life. read batman/superman 1-6 the new 52 version. and you'll see the difference between the original superman and current superman.
First of all the stories aren't even the same because unlike the original this superman doesn't have ma and pa as his moral guides they died, him and lois never got together
New 52 Reboot DC entire Comic book Line combining DC main line , Wildstorm imprint and Vertigo imprint.
Comics and Cartoon isn't the same as Naruto anime and manga.
Cartoons follow their own rules an writer develop stories on their own without need to use the comic source material while naruto anime uses the stories that kishimoto provides.
Their is a entire website that is sole purpose is to map out the canonical order of the new 52 books.
You really should post a thread about there's no canon in comic books on the comic book resource forum and see how hard you get laugh at.
