How would you guys bring back Jack Knight?

**clonegeek** · 08-13-2023, 08:51 AM

DC tasks you with reintroducing Jack Knight into the main line DC books, how would you do it?

**Garrac** · 08-13-2023, 09:05 AM

Please, no

**Frontier** · 08-13-2023, 09:55 AM

I wouldn't. Jack's story has been told, he got his happy ending, and that's it.

Maybe he could come back for a cameo but that's about it.

It's been 20 years, I think enough time has past to dust him off and to do something new with him.

He can stay retired but still a presence in the larger DC Universe

Jack's story is done. He walked away from the hero life. Let the character be.

Is any story ever truly over though? DC could reveal that Jack has transitioned genders in the time since we last seen him- I mean her.

I think eventually somebody is going to bring back Jack in the present day continuity. I asked How he should be brought back not If.

Didn't we recently have a thread where the idea of Jack Knight being brought back was discussed?

And to answer your question: he shouldn't be brought back.

But my question wasn't IF, it was How.

Johns added Kyle Knight to his JSA run. He was apart of Helena Wayne's makeshift JSA as the Mist. I'd bring back Jack as Kyle's reluctant mentor. Jack doesn't approve of Kyle's turn but decides to help him anyway.

How he should be brought back in a dream and left there.

I think that would work quite well,

**CaptCleghorn** · 08-13-2023, 05:09 PM

I don't think it's a good idea. James Robinson, if he was so inclined, could convince me otherwise though.

**Rakzo** · 08-13-2023, 05:21 PM

I would prefer if they create a brand new Starman and play with the theme of legacy and history just like James Robinson did.

It would be cool to have a cameo of Jack and his son though.
