Hopefully quick thread since this shouldn't be a big deal. "Superman (Original)" needs to be renamed. First of all, it's not even the "original' Superman, that honor would go to Bill Dunn, the first character Siegel and Shuster who went by Superman. Secondly, I feel that it misrepresents golden age DC, since Kal existed in a shared universe with dozens of other heroes, even back then.
That said, I dunno what to replace it with. "Golden Age" is the most obvious answer, but also isn't really accurate either. DC revived the Golden Age universe in the 70s and incoporated acquired characters into it, such as the Blackhawks and Plastic Man, and thus these are neither the original nor golden age versions of these characters, so that's not valid if we would to have a consistent naming scheme for that section of the verse. Ergo I suggest either "Golden Age Universe" or "Earth-Two" (the in-universe name) instead.
