The moon isn't 81 quintillion tons. So yeah, it was definitely a mistake. Doesn't really matter. The feat was quantifiable. As it was clearly quantified on panel. And was stated to be an exact duplicate of Luna. Thus making the post I was replying to untrue.

That's a poor syllogism. No, we don't have to. McDuffie said it. It's obviously what he meant. The moon is traveling at 7,614,000 kph towards Superman, and he's heading towards it at 'just under' the speed of light...and it happens to weigh 81 billion tons, according to Batman. Why start with c when c isn't involved? Relativity is, yes. But the speed of light is not.

It was made of energy. 😐 Exact duplicate my ass.

If said moon is a mirror representation of our moon, then it only make sense that it would be in the quintillion range, not the billion range. Everything else is to scale why not the moon?
There's nothing that suggests its any different except what could well be a typo via Batman's statement.

Mass: 7.347 7 × 10 (22th power) KG (0.012 3 Earths)

Quan, there is a bare minimum of logic we have to accept. 😬
One of those is physics to a certain degree and real world weights. Crack open a physics book or google it. Mcduffie ****ed up.

So if there's a comic featuring Thanos that shows him getting killed by Wolverine or Black Adam being beat down by Tim Drake, it's ok? Great, thanks for clearing that up. 😄

81 billion tons is a mountain or something, it's a f*** up that is easily overlooked by the actual moon being the object the feat was based upon.how the editor missed it is the weird thing. 😬
but even that is small potatoes considering what hulk did to that asteroid.

Size isn't always a factor in things like this. A solid metal ball the size of a baseball is easily heavier and more denser than a hollow Styrofoam ball with a six foot diameter. Which would be easier to break with a punch?
