While I question the necessity of this article separate from Infinite Crisis, I really admire the quality work that has gone into it. Congrats, people. CovenantD 23:17, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree. Are there any other notable superhero battles that could be chronicaled
like this?--Mullon 02:46, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox
It's inappropriate for this article to use the military battle infobox because this is make-believe. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 17:54, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't see anything in the infobox page saying that fictional battles weren't to be used with it. --Hemlock Martinis 23:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- See WP:WAF#Infoboxes and succession boxes. This says, "Infoboxes meant for real-world entities should not be applied to their fictional counterparts, since, for example, information important to a description of a real-world company may be tangential to a fictional one. It is important to identify the revenue of Microsoft, whereas the fact that fictional MegaAcmeCorp makes 300 billion GalactiBucks in the year 2463 is probably unimportant."--Chris Griswold (☎☓) 09:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- That infobox is appropriate. It says "information important to a description of a real-world company may be tangential to a fictional one" but in this case it fits perfectly. We could make a fictional battle template, I guess. Which fields of the infobox are innapropriate, we can remove them. Hopefully they're optional. - Peregrine Fisher 09:43, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- I suppose it doesn't really matter; this article will be gone soon anyway. I will look and see which, if any, of the other fictional battle articles are worth keeping. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 10:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe you should wait for the results of this AfD before nominating a bunch of ficional battles. Anyways, if you do nominate a bunch, drop me a line. - Peregrine Fisher 17:11, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Of course I am waiting for this to be deleted before I continue to get others deleted. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 21:42, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Kept :-) thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 00:00, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

We're going to regret that this was kept. It sets a very, very bad precedent. I'm tempted to start creating articles about every "spandex slap fight" just to show how bad.
I won't, but I'm tempted. CovenantD 00:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- You're welcome to an opinion, naturally, even if you are wrong. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 01:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well now, that would be kind of pointless, wouldn't it? --Hemlock Martinis 01:45, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- One of the reasons I won't. Also, I won't have to - time will tell. CovenantD 02:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
