    Legacy.
    ^^^Kind of ties into what I came in here to say; DC’s focusing almost solely on the Bat Family has made it impossible for any street level hero not associated w. them to carry a solo title and that’s a shame.

    Stick Vic Sage back in Hub City as The Question investigating ground-level and sometimes off the beaten path crimes, and I'd be all over it!

    I'd argue there's room for all kinds of Noir-ish revivals: Captain Compass, Roy Raymond, The Crimson Avenger.

Plus, depending on the stuff you read, he can either A) think and process information at the speed of light, and / or B) had the sum total of Kryptonian language, art, philosophy, science, technology, lore and even *martial arts* downloaded into his brain. (Yeah, that's right, he should probably, *without his powers,* know more (alien) kung-fu than the Bat!)

    Reminds of that quote from Dr. Manhatten, to Ozymandius. "World's smartest man? Might as well be the world's smartest cockroach, as far as I'm concerned."

    Beast Boy's (Changeling) true love will always be Terra Markov, not that goth Raven. There, I said it. And I will stand by it to the death.

    When it comes to Vic Sage: The Question, I'm in total agreement with the majority...





    LOL! Still love that sense of humor...

    It's too bad Vic didn't get a chance to tell him that to his face during "Doomsday Clock." (even if it was a different Rorschach) But I guess Johns didn't want to acknowledge that there actually was a "Watchmen" comic book in the DCU.

    So, to swing things back around to the topic at hand:
    -- I'm fine with DC doing whatever they want with the Watchmen characters. Moore can whine all he wants, but he had no problem using other people's toys (it was DC that made him change them to original characters, after all) so he shouldn't act like he owns those toys after he's done with them.

    I thought this is for your stupid opinions that you'll die for, as opposed to your side in a controversy or your own personal head-canon.
    "Clark Kent is a mask" is a controversial opinion.
    "The K-Metal from Krypton is canon" is head-canon.
    "Kryptonite should be eaten salted" is stupid.
