Or is it inter-disciplinary? Would there be colleges with entire DEPARTMENTS dedicated to it? And when a Professor of Retroactive History describes something as "an event that Changed History", well he wouldn't be fooling around. I'll bet that the academic conferences for the discipline are fun to attend too. I wonder how many arguments they get into over whether something was really retroactive or not... (Of course, I'll bet ALL academic conferences in the DCU are a bit more interesting than their counterparts here. I wonder if any super-villains ever attack during a presentation on "New methods for Artificial Intelligence" instead of just buying the conference proceedings...)

You could always be right in almost every argument. I would love to be a Professor of Retroactive History in the DC Universe. You could always be right in almost every argument.
