keep it that way).

Yeah... Although I like and understand Earth 1 & Earth 2... and I even
think Earth 8 would be interesting (if they introduce the Infinite
Crisis Earth 8), but Batman: Vampire and Superman: Red Son are ideas
for Earths that seem a waste of the 52, to me.

Sure, they may be great stories and even interesting universes, but
they seem a waste.

They are a waste because, while they made for interesting stories in and
of themselves, they were ultimately finite. Where would anyone go with
stories about them? We pretty much know the beginning and the end. In
the case of Red Son, we even see many of the heroes killed off.

Even the addition of Kingdom Come seem annoying duplication. It's New
Earth or a combination of Earths 1 - 10 with a specific dark future.
That's great but is it necessary?

No, but there's a least a lot more room to work than B:V and S:RS.

....and it looks like Johns is gonna milk Kingdom Come for all it's
worth in JSA starting next issue...I'm not sure how I feel about this.
