Twilight of the Superheroes"
Net legend, really -- been around and online for so long. I guess DC has officially requested its removal from private websites, but the usenet archive sees all and knows all. This here is Alan Moore's treatment for a super-mega-crossover series featuring major revisions to all the superheroes and their world. It remains apocryphal as well -- that's twice I've gotten to use that word today! -- since I don't have any outright verification that Alan Moore wrote it. The ideas suit those of Alan Moore at roughly that same period, so I've got no reason to doubt it entirely. And besides, it has some neat ideas -- many of which appear without credit in Kingdom Come, I gather. Now, there's no telling if they were cribbed for that story, and for that matter, there's no telling if they need to be credited: If Alan Moore really sent this in to DC, then they probably reserved every right to keep and use those ideas at some later point. The fact is, quite simply, I don't know. I don't know if it was plagiarism, I don't know if Alam Moore really wrote it, and I don't know if it even ever touched DC's hands. Whatever. It's a neat collection of ideas, and I present it as such.
