Should DC Just Reboot?! - Comics Experiment | Comicstorian

[@donovanlarsen7982]

The short answer is no. The only way they can reboot is if they: 1. Give a definitive and detailed timeline up to in-universe present day. 2. All of the writers actually follow rule #1, as established above. But let’s be honest with ourselves; that’s never going to happen.

[@Dante-mr3rz]

Yep DC benefits from streamlined storylines. Look at Young Justice series. They manage to tie every major plot point and make interesting villans.

[@NerdyQueen1234]

Yup

[@md.abulkalamazad6847]

[@kevontheoriginal4757]

Dc’s biggest issue is they sorta got rid of else world stories and made everything into continuity meaning to actually understand the universe you gotta read everything

[@davidfernandes8378]

I think they should release a "book" telling the full story of any hero from the beginning, the greatest accomplishments, the fucked ups that they did and an satisfying ending and call it the main universe and them they can continue doing the multiverse thing where a carácter dies now and after 10 issues they make it as if nothing happed.

Sometimes I wish comics were more like manga, straight path start to finish. Maybe a one shot here and there to add to the story, but usually extremely easy to follow.

[@donovanlarsen7982]

The thing is some characters were and some still are kind of like that with their publication history. However, the comic book industry has become so saturated with resurrections of major characters, that writers and even readers now believe to varying degrees that it is fair game to resurrect pretty much anyone at this point, so no one stays this way.

[@Dante-mr3rz]

Nowdays main problem with comics is that writers themselves are fans of old stories so they rehash them and put their personal spin on it. DC really should try to expand galaxy lore aside from lantern corps and new gods.

[@BrueCool]

@@donovanlarsen7982 I agree. American comics should take some pointers from Japanese manga which is more popular than American comics these days.

[@webslinger4733]

Yes, they should reboot. Idc that the New 52 was only a few yrs ago. -Clean slate reboot, the Justice League isn’t formed yet, all heroes are on their first sidekicks again (Dick, Wally, Roy, etc) -Have an actual timeline explaining the universe -New Volume of The Brave & The Bold -Reference the Justice Society (maybe mention them in a Museum, or have Barry and Wally be mentored by Jay) -Bring back the Legion -New costumes for major Heroes (no more trunks pls)

[@Revster]

Why go back? After all the character development there's no point going all the way back because you either delete a ton of fan favorite characters or you repeat the same stories they had, even Marvel's ultimate comics had to repeat exact stories and when they tried to change them it ended up being a shit show

Mangas are meant to end unlike comics, most mangas don't actually have just one writer they just say they do for publicity and on top of that one writer writing about a character for too long always ends badly

[@Krisfit138]

I think the biggest issue is the overwhelming problems of multiple titles, all at once, talking about different timeframes, and the continuity issues that creates. Even if there're stories that are continuous, it can just become overwhelming and you'll miss something. So, I think maybe a limit on publishing, and then have enough oversight to put writers on a same page that works toward a goal. 1. Come up with an overarching plan for all of DC and how that reaches a crisis. 2. Limit the amount of issues coming out. Not titles, but issues. This way, the reader isn't overwhelmed with what they need. 3. Do the Spider-Man thing, but for main DC characters; but instead of decades, the major events that make up the development of the character. This is just to set what major harmonized events add up. 4. Going forward, release the titles in chronological order, building toward the major event. 5. Combine the titles into individual omnibuses for the graphic novel release. A Bat-Family book, a Super-Family book, a Justice League book, etc., made up of the issues per family in chronological order. 6. Each "family" gets a set number of omnibuses, like 5-7. 7. The limited omnibuses build to a singular event, also later released in one omnibus. This limits and organizes singular issues into a digestible collection without overwhelming, it can go for years, and puts everyone on the same page. The omnibus books would be so the book collector can get all the stories in digestible chunks so you can see how it all fits together.

A dream for me would be a reboot, where the characters age normally and as time passes new characters become the superhero. It would end the need for a reboot and it would constantly keep story ideas fresh. It would turn some heroes generationally. Almost like how they did with the flash., Barry for the old school then Wally after.

I've only got into DC comics like a year ago, and yes, the confusion is MAJOR. And wikis only help so much T^T I usually only follow a couple of characters that I like (to be fair, I only really enjoy sidekicks) and they're constnatly mentioning stuff that happened in other titles and it's such a hassle to try to find out what really happened and where. It also feels like runs go for too long and even if you're enjoying a particular story of a particular character (I'm thinking of Nightwing, Red Hood and Batgirl), they suddently change writers and... everything changes mid-run? Their personalities are different, their growth goes missing, the lessons are unlearnt. It's so frustrating.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

honestly something I've thought of for a very long time is what if dc rebooted every 5 years or so. this means we can have some real stakes and characters can get axed off, and stay dead for a little while. along side some very experimental titles since if no one likes the story just cancel it and 5 years later we'll try something different. think of all the stuff you could do, we could have a world without Superman, have a parallel earth story where all the heroes are villains and vice versa, sure we've gotten these story lines before, but only for a limited runs before we go back to the main story. this also means writers aren't bound by decades worth of continuity and could do almost anything they wanted. I'm sure there are allot of ideas with this idea and I know it, but the idea of getting a 5 year long what if story sounds fantastic.

[@kcollier2192]

Continually rebooting their books takes away any sense of history and continuity. Getting in at the start of something is great but most of DC's history is so well known that the reboots lose any draw- they'd be better off just focusing on telling good stories in a well defined universe, which by now they should have. if not then maybe the bigger question is should DC continue to publish comic books at all (comic BOOKS- I'd expect them to keep making movies, TV shows, whatever)?

[@TheChadBatman]

Sometimes I wish we could go back to the post crisis era, to me that was PEAK DC

[@SwedishDuckey]

One of the many reasons why I love Manga more then is that it's a start-> middle-> end to the story maybe a short spin off or something but not much more than that. Don't get me wrong, I like comics but it's a bitch to get into. A story shouldn't need dedicated websites and/or videos explaining what to read in what order and if you should skip X story for some weird reason

[@SwedishDuckey]

The so called "in between titles" are honestly the only reason we even needed a "3". Those games tell the story that required an ending in 3. But everything presented in 1 2 and chain were finished by the end of 2

[@rotimigbadebo9609]

Before I watch the video....here's an opinion. New 52 failed in part because of Batman and green lantern. Now there were other problems obviously, but this was a fundamental crack in the setting. Every other character apart from Batman and green lantern got reset to zero. Those in charge of those two dept refused to reboot their characters settings causing a lot of weird inconsistencies and well stacking the deck against the books that actually rebooted. I mean first arc has Batman fighting quite a few of his rogues gallery in arkham....

[@Joenah5]

I don't want another DC reboot, but if we get one I think the best way to do it is to just give each writer their own universe to tell whatever DC story they want.

[@Jay9966]

But it would be too much for one author to tell the story of each universe, every universe has to have a variation of the heroes, and each hero or at least Bat Family and Clark Family needs to have their individual stories. Its like also if sales are bad, they would want to cancel the run too.

[@michiganjack1337]

The New 52 was basically the jumping on point and my 20 year return to comics. I had just previously read and caught up on GL: Rebirth, Blackest Night and Flashpoint leading into the new 52. After the first year of that launch it was apparent that the hole thing was a mess. They removed writers and artists from titles that were only on their third issues (Mr. Terrific prime example). But I used that event as jumping on point for DC and was exciting but soon reminded why I stopped reading in the early ‘90’s.

I’d soft reboot. Sorta Rebirth style. Take the idea that Scott Snyder is trying to make in Death Metal. That everything matters. All of the stories. And mash that idea with 5G without switching out the Trinity and stuff. Just take the idea of different Generations. Make Batman closer to 40. And start to make everything that has happened slowly fit. I’d add in the themes Geoff Johns wasgoing for in doomsday clock. Make Superman important.

[@BrueCool]

Good discussion video!👍🏿 I like most of the ideas you guys were throwing out there and the examples you used to explain like referencing Pokemon, Metal Gear Solid, and Supernatural. I think both Andy and Dan’s ideas for rebooting DC are good. Between the two of them, I think Dan’s idea is better since it would give whoever is writing and drawing for whatever superhero more free to do whatever they want with their selected hero without worrying from the other writers and artists working on their selected her superhero. Andy’s idea seems more like both the JJ Abrams’s “Mystery Box” storytelling style which is a hit and miss and how TV shows are develop in which you have to pitch what’s going to happen in the show’s season 1, 2, 3, etc. When DC reboots again which it will, I think they need to make new superheroes and fully commit into making great characters with incredible storytelling and market the hell out of them just like they do with the Trinity.

[@JakeTylenol]

I know that in Archie Sonic series is another example of something that went off of too long. The first 13 volumes had a clear goal of stopping Robotnik and freeing mobius, it started off really fun and campy then got more in depth and had really cool twists and turns and then once that story was done and had a satisfying conclusion, they kept going and it got convoluted real quick. The IDW reboot was the best thing that ever happened and what made it work even more was it used the game continuity and streamlined it so it was very accessible and they didn’t have to go back and explain everything again

[@Dante-mr3rz]

[@Jay9966]

To be honest, what should be done is this they should have a team that PUSHES the timeline forward New 52 Rebirth X Y Z 1 2 3 etc, the main continuity GOES ON, but allow people to write BRANCHING stories, like even if we're at Timeline "3", author A can still write a story that is set in "Rebirth Era" that doesn't contradict the existing timeline OR it is set in an alternate multiverse that is AROUND the same background but is NOT the main continuity multiverse. We know that in the future, there will be Batman Beyond and Legions of Super-Heroes so we should PUSH the story TO that timeline instead of staying where we are.

[@absolutelynologic8099]

What I think would be helpful is if you’re going to allude to something that’s happened in previous issues for let’s say Batman, have a footnote that says something like “check out issue (whatever) that you can find in such and such trade” and I know it’s a bit more effort, but I think it’ll help newer readers get into that stuff. I’ve seen comics do that before, but I don’t see it as often as I’d like.That way if you’re digging a story, but not entirely sure about some of the stuff being referenced, if you’re interested you can check that out, and then you’ll end up like me and read comics like a junky snorts cocaine.

[@TommyBaysMusic]

The big spot they got confusing with was the 5 year thing. In actuality they couldnt remember ten years of their lives so its more like they started 10 to 15 years before but forgot alot of their experiences and thought they were only 5 years in to their roles.

5 years is too short, especially for the inclusion of side kicks. I agree that it needs to have a hard reboot to start over but what needs to happen is start putting them into a real-time history which will actually age batman and flash, etc And you then need the side kicks to come jn and grow and eventually really replace their mentors. Then once you age up the sidekicks we know you create new sidekicks or then reboot again. You don't have to go 1 year of comics be one year of real life maybe its 2 or 3 years per 1 year of comics and the universe runs 10 to 20 years and then reboot to tell new stories.

[@Justice107]

If you reboot, take what works from the last several decades of every franchise: Use a depowered Superman from the 90s cartoon who struggles to stop a falling airplane - use the boy scout/farmer persona A rookie Batman who is still getting used to the job - Chris Nolan's Batman Use the Heath Ledger Joker Use the Wonder Woman from the movies The multi-colored Lantern Corps from the beginning Young Justice - because fans demanded a conclusive third season years later When you kill a character, leave them dead And avoid putting the Earth in danger every week

(I should clarify: so far, I am still reading issue #20 of RHATO and I haven't read through every DC character in the New 52)

DC really needs to fix their continuity asap

Like erase Lois and jon. Bring superman back

@@TevyaSmolka it will happen. DC is good at recons and make the past disappear The rebirth sells are horrible..

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@itsbeyondme5560 I disagree because DC rebirth sold really great when it first came out and was fantastic if you are referring to post DC rebirth after heroes in crisis then yeah i can understand where you're coming from with that.

[@itsbeyondme5560]

@@TevyaSmolka They need a writer to write good superman story. No gimmicks. Plus I'm tired of him fighting against monsters from space or anything too science fiction. After I read Superman vs. Klan (2020) or some of the golden/silver age, I realized that Superman needs a writer who can write a Superman without any gimmicks ( like having a son or another stupid event like Doomsday). I do prefer superman's powers to go back his original powers of they can't write op superman. Fresh new stories. Use the golden/ silver age as inspiration. Be faithful to the creator's creation. 52 and rebirth both suck. The sells can prove it.

It should because he is out there, he can't be stopped, unless DC reboots

[@kaicreech7336]

No! Marvel continuity is basically solid, as opposed to DC's complete mess.

[@cosmicgrub360]

Kai Creech another reboot 5 years after the last which in turn was rebooted 5 years before should dc just constantly reboot to fix stuff or try and fix issues

[@BaithNa]

I'd like to see an ultimate marvel approach but every original JLA character needsa complete story planned out beforehand and they would pass on their mantles within 10-15 years of publishing

[@adhambarbour]

Don't feel bad Benny, I liked the riddle-puns!😁

[@sclark865]

I think it'd be ok to leave an ending open. That way others can make their own continuity with your story as a universal settings. Like how Avengers Assemble is a loss sequel to Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

[@mamodokod]

I'd usually say hell no but it all depends HOW they reboot. If they did it the 5G way I'd denounce DC for the rest of my life. If they got good writers and artist who have experience writing or drawing professionally if be more inclined to say yes but I have no faith in DC anymore.

[@kyleellis9177]

With the five year plan thing i would be ok with a few one shots looking into each one 5 years later. so we do first 5 year run. it ends and we dont get anything for 5 years while new verse is ongoing. once second verse ends we can do a 4 issue mini series that looks into the world. boom repeat every 5 years.

[@sclark865]

I love Kingdom ❤s. I have never had a problem with the story ever and I haven't played/beaten all of them. I think people think to hard when it comes to KHs.

[@Runge_was_here]

I know it will never happen so I just sit on the side and remember what I have read. Sadly, I just read up on a story I missed that is inspiring the next movies. 😂

[@NoMadKid]

I want them to focus on individual comics as if they don't belong in the same universe, cause with that, writers can have freedom with their creativity.

[@sclark865]

What if they did something like Spider-man. I vaguely remember them releasing one shots, revamping his history... And I no longer no where I'm going with this 😵

[@lumberspecialtiesinc1068]

member when rob was on this show WE ALL MEMBER! Still enjoy each week but as that POS that always post "where is rob" we will never forget

[@xanderg.1070]

In my opinion, no they have enough reboots already. I just want the dc universe to finish fixing up some of the characters development and growth and bring back the more important storylines and runs of our favorite superheroes and hopefully bring back characters that were killed off like Roy Harper and Gnarrk and characters that have been retcon out of existence or killed since Flashpoint like Liam Harper, Conner Hawke, and Secret.

[@angellicus1779]

Hard reboot? No; restructuring on the level of introducing the multiverse? Definitely.

[@ltsTheLaww25]

Their idea is exactly what Young Justice cartoon is doing. Each season is separated by a time skip and there is an overall continuing storyline but we don't get caught up on everything that happened during the time skip.

[@jer-el3499]

I do want them to reboot and fix the continuity also the other problem like I do not like having 2 Wally West and 2 Flash it is confusing when your new to comicbook

[@apocolipsthegeekguru2980]

I havent even watched the video yet, but I say no it does not need a reboot. I think it needs to do somethings it hasnt done before. I mean how cool would it be if batman died and we had to see damien take up the mantle of batman, and see how he handles thd joker, gordon and everyone else, you kinda see it in DCeased, but its way different, most people are dead, and they skip ahead pretty quick. Id rather they made some cool changes instead of a reboot just to bring everything back to status quo. And if it doesnt work out then reboot, its a comic, but comics have to do some crazy things every now then otherwise its pretty much the same people doing pretty much the same thing. So no, no reboot, crazy stuff instead, THEN reboot, OR end with something freaking epic like the DCAU did with Justice League Dark Apocalypse, that would be awesome too.

[@Sepricotaku]

In almost glad that I didn't read the new 52 comics lol, the new 52 DCAU was great in my opinion so I'm glad I just went in that direction.

[@commanderspyder5432]

I'd love to see you guys do this with the Marvel universe, since they've never rebooted their continuity, and I'm starting to think they should.

[@Vidiocity92]

Kingdom Hearts is convoluted, but now Sora's in Smash, so maybe we can have a video game crisis and reset the multiverse lol

[@BearF23]

Im excited for DANDD #2 soon

[@ayejayillz8]

Death Metal is literally going to be the end game of all reboots if you all havent been following. It will set the path for DC and its future by fixing all the continuity errors from previous crisis's. So after death metal no more reboots. Just focus on single shot character stories and thats it. I feel like from then on they should establish one universe where everything has a timeline and and following continuity, and another where its just elseworlds stories that are seperate and do not follow the timeline to avoid confusion.

[@maxvelazquez1816]

No instead we should forcus on a earth form the multiverse like earth 66 or in the dark multiverse to give a storyline in the sense to fix the dark multiverse or to a event to make a interesting in the sense of hope in a world that meant to die.

[@outlaw8085]

They did have a comic where the real Superman tried to get to know Batman, ww, nightwing etc. it was the trinity comic

[@michaeldaniels642]

That thing where he was reading to the kids was fake wasn't it? I could have sworn the issue ended with them breaking out of some illusion hallucination dimension thing and revealing none of it was real.

[@australiangamer7956]

I reckon marvel could use a reboot, dc has done a lot of half reboots where they change things but don’t specify what’s different
