Over the last few decades, a whole bunch of characters have had origin retellings - some of them many (I'm looking at you Superman!) But there are a few characters who I feel have been pretty underrepresented in the 'updated origin' department, or who could definitely do with a fresh retelling in the current scenario.
So which characters do you think are in need of an origin retelling?
Here are some of my picks:
Barry Allen: Its kinda shocking that Barry hasn't had a modern origin retelling like...ever. Rebirth of course revisited his origin with that HUGE retcon about his mother. But Barry has never had that detailed re-examination of his early career that Batman, Superman, WW, GL etc. all had. I think a 'Flash Year One'-esq miniseries or story-arc is WAY overdue!
Black Canary: I honestly don't think Black Canary has had a memorable origin-story one can easily point out, which is a shame, considering that she's one of DC's most iconic characters beyond the Big Seven, and certainly one of DC's most iconic female characters. And given the whole legacy aspect to her character, and how its grown quiet convoluted after all the retcons and timeline changes, I think Dinah could definitely do with a definitive and streamlined origin.
