If you're talking about my post, it doesn't need confirmation from him. It was the entire point of Johns' Infinite Crisis, it undid the knot/reboot in the timestream in 1985.
Right after that, the original Legion showed up in Superman, also written by Johns, and he mentioned not having seen them since the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Batman stories, Nightwing stories, Justice League, pretty much all of the titles then began referencing stories from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Even most people's origins were reset back to their original origin rather than their post-Crisis introductions. In many cases, DC even re-released their original origin issue.
And those references even have started happening again since Rebirth, now that the malleable universe that Metron mentioned in John's Justice League heading into the Darkseid War has been reset to the Pre-52 state with minor alterations.
In one of the Rebirth issues, just for example, they recalled the Rainbow Batman story from 1957.

They took elements of pre-crisis and mixed them in. New 52 took some away. Current Superman did associate with the Legion as a teen, but his youth was different from pre- crisis Superboy. So current Superman is basically a different character.
Yea, it’s all canon, it’s a matter that I don’t consider feats from 50 years to be accurate even if canon. I always thought it was retarded when people do it for Hulk and Thor as well.
But my point remains. That’s all one character.

I'm going to agree with darksaint and pick a DC guy just because.

What is your bases for declaring Thinker's machine inferior? 70s comics were less sophisticated and didn't go through efforts to be scientifically precise despite the same intentions. The press weighs 6 tons but that has nothing to do with the hydraulic pressure.
You're basing the inferiority of the machines based on your desire for them to be. If it was about the incapability of the machines, they would state that he is beyond the machine's capability to measure. That is not what Thinker says. He is using numeric equations to calculate strength and determines Hulk to be incalculable. Those numbers have nothing to do with the machine's capabilities.
So one scientist say superman is benching the earths weight on a small machine and certain people drool at the mouth while another scientist says hulk while under a 6 ton press strength has no limit, but certain people try and dismiss hulks feat to shield superman??? Supermans feat was given numbers while hulks was given........ Well.... No limit....Hulk is stronger by feats.
Somehow Hulk struggling with 6 tons weight is more impressive than Superman benching entire Earth's weight because "Hulk's strength was not given any number".
