hey figgnuts where did you find your avatar? i was looking for a zelda. I was wondering if they had one where you found yours
you must have had a really hard time in highschool if you need to attack faceless people on messageboards. tell me were you beaten up in the locker room? Did you ever go to your locker between classes only to find jocks surounding it, laughing at you, harassing you? Does it still make you sick? Did you in the back of your mind wish that you could exact some dark revenge on them? I bet when you see someone here that has a different opinion than you you find that dark corner of your mind and you let out some of that poison that sleeps there.
or educated guesses. all of that hostility has to come from somewhere, and being that we are all here, guessing our collective backgrounds is not really that difficult. 3 years of psych.Hahahahahaha, on Psyche 101 they teach us that what u wrote is called projection.

glad you got a laugh out of it
Thats why I didn't really try to re-tell Superman's origin or Batman's or any big ones. Because their story would be sort of the same with minor tweaks like you said. I like the idea that they were all shot in the head including Bruce, and that it might have some sort of connection to how he turns out. Plus I like the idea of real world tech.
What I was trying to do with my idea was make it somehow connected and sort of a smaller world, like Ultimate Marvel does. Some character's origins they change to connect it to another idea or to make it all connected, like with the whole Super Soldier Project connecting: Captain America, SHEILD, Spider-Man, Hulk, Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, and some others...
Other than that I think I'd keep everyone's origins connected the same way.
Exactly.i like some of the artwork shown here, but i really wonder if there is a need for these books.
Exactly.
Every other year we get one more retooling of someone's origins, and more and more Year One books are coming out. How many "Ultimate" Superman books like Birthright and Confidential and For All Seasons have there been by now? Four? Five? More? And how many Batman books? All the while people keep wondering, "Why isn't there an Ultimate DC?" Geez, there isn't an Ultimate DC because there doesn't need to be an Ultimate DC because they've already been making stories that accomplish the exact same purpose.
Yes. They are all of them retoolings of the characters' origins, without feeling the need to adhere to any mainstream continuity. How many different origins does Superman have now? How many times have we gone over Batman's first years? Even Hal Jordan has more than two origins, and he's got one of the most uncomplicated continuities of any DC character.GL1 said:do these books share anything in common at all?
