A Special (and Spacial!!) Kind of Camelot!!! Warning: Spoilers
A SPECIAL (AND SPACIAL!!) KIND OF CAMELOT!!!

------- ------- ------- -------

After saving a planet from the impact of a flaming comet, Superman is literally fired against another distant planet in which manners and landscape resemble the ones of the old days of Britain when the City of London was still called CAMELOT. This Space Camelot, called CAMELON, is also a planet from where other ones can be seen in plain sight, like enormous and sometimes beautiful spheres in the sky, like a sort of violet Saturn kind of planet and foremost a place with some Sci-Fi technology like the Laser Lances that are some of the weapons they use in combat. When Superman arrives, he is unconscious and with an almost complete loss of memory from his past life. As other people suffering from amnesia, he remembers how to talk and stand but not who he is or what he was dedicated to.

Some people who had been trying to topple the government of good King Arthur VII, find him and take advantage of him not remembering who he is to deceive him and tell him he is the "Black Knight" that's foretold to help them bring down Arthur VII. Superman begins helping them and in one of the biggest plot holes of all time, Arthur VII calls to the SuperFriends for help, stating as understood that the SuperFriend did were known in that planet creating an inconsistency (or apparent inconsistency) because when Superman falls, none of the ones that see him and deceive him to work with them against Arthur VII seem to know who he is. There are (IMO) two possible ways out of the inconsistency. The first one being these people who find him always deceptive people and they just pretended not to know who he was, even when his "S" symbol on his chest and his superhero's outfit. The second one is King Arthur VII knowing who the SuperFriends were in opposition to his rivals because of being a more literate man who watches good cartoons and reads IMDb in his spare time...

We will have Batman defeating the best Swordsman in CAMELON during the plot and having Superman challenged to a duel in a desperate attempt of rescuing his sanity, placing some of the radiant remaining pieces of the comet in the peak of his spear, with the hope of the impact being able to restore the memory of the strongest of the Superfriends.

Thanks for reading.
