Question: Do you guys consider the comics canon? They seem very canon to me, as I've read a lot. Sorry if this has already been discussed. —Excelsior, The Flash - (Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay!) 05:12, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Check, for example, the some of the villains in Justice League Adventures: AMAZO, Shadow Thief and Chronos appear, but are quite different from their (later) cartoon versions. -- Tupka217 11:03, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Really? Could you give me an example of that? —Excelsior, The Flash - (Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay!) 16:56, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- No, I mean, I've read the comics, and see no difference in the villains. Can you explain that further. —Excelsior, The Flash - (Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay!) 18:36, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, Chronos was established (he had his own island) in the present rather than the future, and AMAZO was just another redshirt villain in his Silver Age appearance. Shadow Thief similarly appeared before the introduction of Hawkman, and without signifying any connection between the two. -- Tupka217 19:21, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Aren't those just goofs? —Excelsior, The Flash - (Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay!) 00:46, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- Nope. The comics were made before their cartoon debut, and Timm and Dini and all the other cartoon guys weren't involved (unlike, for example, Transformers:Animated, were Marty Isenberg pretty much thinks up everything). -- Tupka217 08:34, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- What about the JLU comics? —Excelsior, The Flash - (Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay!) 21:23, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- AFAIK, all the comis - the half a dozen Batman tie-ins too - were made independently of the TV series. -- Tupka217 21:58, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, then suggestion. You can pull a Memory-Alpha in two ways: 1) Add things in background information entitled "Apocrypha" or "Comics" 2) Instead of using three million refs, have (BTAS: "The Cat and the Claw") after each time it's used. —Excelsior, The Flash - (Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay!) 00:30, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- Then what about #2? —Excelsior, The Flash - (Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me bay-bay!) 02:18, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
