On Monday, the managing partner, Andrei “Goldfinger” Grachev-just kidding, but he could be-announced they settled a single 25-kilogram gold bar. That’s right, a literal bar of gold-probably worth a small fortune, or at least enough to buy a yacht or two. Plans? Oh, just scaling up to silver, platinum, and yes-cotton. Because who doesn’t want to trade fluffy stuff in a world obsessed with shiny, heavy metals, right? 😎

Let’s be honest, “retcons” – changes to established story details – often get a bad rap in the comic book world, and sometimes rightfully so! We all remember those changes that just didn’t work and upset a lot of fans – things like the “One More Day” Spider-Man storyline or the twist with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch’s parentage. But you know what? For every bad retcon, there are tons that actually improve a character’s history, and often we don’t even notice them! The really good ones just seamlessly become part of the story, accepted by everyone. That’s what I want to talk about today. I’m going to highlight seven of the best retcons Batman has had over his incredible eighty-six year run – changes that actually made the character even better.
I first discovered Meat Boy way back on Newgrounds, a classic Flash game site. Then in 2010, Super Meat Boy officially launched and totally blew my mind – it really grabbed me and a lot of other hardcore platforming fans. The characters – Meat Boy, Band-Aid Girl, and even Dr. Fetus – switched things up with an autorunner style in Super Meat Boy Forever.
