Rather than update my last post on Earth 2 and Worlds' Finest yet again, Vaneta Rogers' latest Newsarama interview with Paul Levitz gives lots of new information and sets up some interesting possibilities that deserved a whole new post. (Good thing they're free.) First, the news from the interview (which is very good, no surprise from…
