What "Year One" mini series do you wanna see?

[Joker]

I would dig a Bizzarro Year One, as it's been sort of unclear lately which version of Bizzarro is even the one in continuity now...

blue beetle year one and i mean the ted kord blue beetle

 

[trustyside-kick]

Aquaman

There actually already is one. Only, it's 1 thick issue and not a TPB. Also, it's an Aquaman Annual from the 90's, but it's entitled Aquaman: Year One.

Pretty much everybody major. They should have done new Year ones for everybody before doing One Year Later now that the continuity has changed.

Well, with Aquaman his origin never changed because of OYL...unless you mean Aquanewb. Hopefully he won't be around long enough, or at least under that name, for there to be a need for a Year One.

 

[Lane & Kent]

How about Dr. Fate:Year One?

 

[batnkevlar]

Ted Kord was in JLA Year One...

 

[yenaled]

I wouldn't mind seeing a new Aquaman: Year One. Have it based around him going back to Atlantis after Curry died. Nothing wrong with retelling a story which not many people have read.

I wouldn't mind seeing updated origins to Alan Scott and Jay Garrick. Barry Allen I think would be nice - but not really needed as such.

The origin story of JSA would be excellent - though James Robinson's huge hardback he is working on is apparently based around that so hopefully that's going to be seen sometime.

 

[Kakihara]

That's the great thing about Lobo. His complete lack of morality, his love of violence and murder, and his borderline psychosis, combined with his vast superhuman abilities. He's like a Batman villain in a Superman villain's body.

Fraggin' A!

 

[Artistsean]

Maybe a Superman/Wonder Woman: Year One, or a Batman/Wonder Woman: Year One would be good.
See how these characters met and become good friends.

 

[3dman27]

since there is going to be a metal men movie why not metal men year one

 

[yenaled]

Maybe a Superman/Wonder Woman: Year One, or a Batman/Wonder Woman: Year One would be good.
See how these characters met and become good friends.

Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman: Trinity does just that.

 

[Kitsune]

Because even the Joker doesn't see himself as a villian. He is just missunderstood.

Um, where did you get this from? If anything, the Joker is the one character who does see himself as a villain. He even efers to himself as "Clown Prince of Crime"

 

[Artistsean]

I was in a story telling class at school and the teacher said "when writing a villian its important to have them not think of themselves as a villian, even a child molester wont look up at a bad guy on a screen and say thats me."

Also I heard Mark Hammil and Bruce Timm talking about it, Mark said that he never acted as Joker as a bad guy, he was just a missunderstood person. And if you didn't get the joker it was your own fault.

Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman: Trinity does just that.

Thats why I was seperating them, I remembered that comic, but it would be interesting to see how Batman's and Wonder Woman's first year went without Superman around.

 

[Anubis]

How about they call it Bizzarro Year One, but it's really a Death of Bizzarro story. Play up on the whole Backwards deal. That would be awesome.

 

[yenaled]

Haha that would be excellent.

 

[Kitsune]

Ted Kord was in JLA Year One...

Dressed as a Dung Beetle?

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

None, how about something new and original?

 

[Andy C.]

The only main JLA-ers that I'd like to see get the "Year One" treatment would be Barry Allen or Martian Manhunter. All the others have already gotten one at some point:

Superman- Man of Steel, For All Seasons, Birthright, Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, Superman Confidential
Batman- Year One
Wonder Woman- Challenge of the Gods
Green Lantern- Emerald Dawn
Aquaman- The Legend of Aquaman

 

[3dman27]

alan scott the original green lantern
al pratt the original atom

 

[SpandexFan]

Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman: Trinity does just that.

Great read too!

I'm all for the Lobo Year One idea!

 

[CrimsonKnight]

Deathstroke Year One

 

[Aristotle]

Here's the Year One Miniseries I'd like to see. Year One: The Tale of How Anyone Could Possibly Think All These Year One Miniseries Are Remotely Close to Necessary.

What I would be interested in is some sort of ongoing series called Year One. It would be a series of arcs dealing with various characters' Year Ones. That could be interesting.

Um, where did you get this from? If anything, the Joker is the one character who does see himself as a villain. He even efers to himself as "Clown Prince of Crime"

I think it would be fair to say that he does see himself as being right. While I define my Joker's appearance and action by Batman: The Animated Series, I define the Joker's mind by The Killing Joke. And while he knows that he's a bad dude, he also think he's completely correct in that.

I was in a story telling class at school and the teacher said "when writing a villian its important to have them not think of themselves as a villian, even a child molester wont look up at a bad guy on a screen and say thats me."

What makes the Joker truly terrifying is that he DOES know he's a villain. He's bad. He likes being evil. The man once toasted, "Here's to crime." And that's Alan Moore writing, not some crap Silver Age comic. That's why he's so scary--you can't appeal to the decent human in him, because he wants to be evil.

The origin story of JSA would be excellent - though James Robinson's huge hardback he is working on is apparently based around that so hopefully that's going to be seen sometime.

James Robinson? Thanks. I've been wondering where that guy is for so long. Then he comes back with Face the Face, which was totally subpar for him, and it looked like we'd never see the real James Robinson again. Thank you for making me aware of that.

How was LL:MOS a year one story?

I don't really think he knows he's a villain or wants to be evil. I think his psychology is vastly more complex than that. Sure, sometimes he acts like someone who simply enjoys being evil. But at other times, he acts as nothing more than an annoying prankster. And sometimes, he acts like a gangster interested solely in money and power. And sometimes he acts like a thief motivated by his greed and grandois. And sometimes he acts like a dadaist anti-hero. The thing about The Joker is that you can't define him as anything but crazy. His motives, methods, and personality are completely fluid, as he's not even entirely atatched to reality in the first place. He's just stuck in his own mind, seeing himself as a preformer, and sometimes changing everything about himself, merely on a whim, as quickly as an actor changes roles after growing bored with one in particular.

It wasn't.
