We Don't Talk About

[The Darknight Detective]

What topic you think DC should stop bring up ever again.

How about what thread topic should we not bring up here anymore?

As the great Yogi Berra said, it's déjà all over again!

[ducklord]

There's a bunch of stuff DC never talks about, either because it's silly, embarrassing, or weird:

- What was the deal with the Lord Malvolio dude who realllly wanted Hal to have his power ring?
- Snowflame, the super-villain powered by cocaine!
- Countdown to Final Crisis. I mean, like, all of it.
- Amazons Attack!
- Weirdly, Jack Knight. It's like he completely fell out of the DCU.
- Kyle Rayner dating Carol Ferris.
- Remember when Black Canary had a one-night stand with the Ray? You don't? Good.
- Twilight Lobo. Seriously, if you say his name three times, he might pop up again.
- Bar-Torr and the New 52 Superboy.
- Uncle Sam's brief mid-life crisis as "The Patriot."
- The Yazz
- The 3 Jokers.

There are others.

. . . Weirdly, Jack Knight. It's like he completely fell out of the DCU . . .

I believe DC has an agreement with James Robinson regarding the character and his being off-limits for others to use.

No need to share with us what you were doing at that time . . .

(imagines Twilight Lobo popping up in a black-and-white striped outfit, muttering "It's Showtime!")

In all seriousness, I think there's some story mileage you could get out of Twilight Lobo a) discovering that he's not the real Main Man, b) going HAM on whoever's responsible for making him *think* he was the real deal (in-universe, not DC editorial), c) going on goofy adventures to get his "Main Man" groove back, and d) trying to carve out a niche for himself in the universe while staying as far away as possible from the original guy.

I believe DC has an agreement with James Robinson regarding the character and his being off-limits for others to use.

Still, the poor guy never even gets a name drop. Understandable while the JSA had been retconned away, but now he's pretty much a charter member of the forgotten DC generation.

Hunter Prince: Diana's rape baby in Rebirth Justice League

Batman making out with Jessica while engaged to Selina

No Justice established that Bruce's actions led to the destruction of entire planets which would make him a supervillain on par with Darkseid

Harley Quinn was fully culpable for her actions in Injustice

You took mine. I would also add making Harley a "hero" despite helping the Joker killing people. Or actual assassins like Deathstroke roaming around free despite heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman perfectly capable of rounding him up. I know Batman would never let someone like that roam free. Or Harley.

Oof. Forgot about that, mainly because Rebirth JL was so forgetful. Hunter Prince, as a character, was okay. But the way he came about, and the continuity screw-ups in JL Rebirth, were bad. He came about due to an evil black goo thing taking control of and impregnating Diana. Diana and Hunter, as characters by themselves, were okay. But the events done in that, were not good. At all.

I thought Hunter Prince was the alt future SMWW son? Was that not him?

Oh! Speaking of bad costumes (and eras) that should stay dead, buried, and forgotten:

Gah. I thought I had forgotten about this.

People originally assumed it was, but no. Diana left him in Clark and Lois' care (and was like a little brother to Jon in his timeline), but no. Not a SMWW son.

Morrison Jason and evil Cass...
Some things are better left buried. And then covered in cement. And buried some more.
