You know how in comic books there are alternate realities where the writers get to explore ideas like "What if Superman was the bad guy?" without turning their main setting into a dystopia? We're in one of those. "What if terrorists attacked and then everyone lost their minds?"

(On Earth Prime, there was no such thing as a hanging chad, Gore won the election, and somehow he prevented 9/11.)

Not even necessary. The Bush administration's response to 9/11 caused most of the damage. We'd be living in a whole different world if Gore had been in charge, even if 9/11 happened the same way.

I think you're right, but I hope the writers wouldn't have something pointlessly horrible like that happen in the main universe. Unless this is one of those edgy comics where Batman shoots people...

So, Supreme Snyder is directing this billions years old epic.
