Analyze the variation versions of some of the mediums’ most popular characters and the narrative through lines (canon events) that define the character despite the other notable shifts between the character’s developments.
A good example of this is the contrast between Communist Superman in Red Son vs. Criminal Ultraman in Justice Lords vs. Tyrant Superman in Injustice vs. All-Star Superman va Mainline Superman.
What makes the character the character when a comic’s multiverse can extend infinitely? What traits define the character in relationship to their world and their readers? What makes a Superman a Superman? Strictly within DC of course, no pastiches such as Homelander and Omni-Man. What is the distilled version of Superman and what does it mean when the character becomes alienated from that "ideal" ?
Topics like this are a little too broad. Pick one character, like Superman, and some particular aspect for writers to discuss. Provide some questions for writers to answer. – noahspud8 months ago
I love this topic, Sunni. I might even undertake writing it. – Nyxion6 months ago
You mention specific comics here which give a potential writer somewhere to start, do you have anything you would like to add about how particular writers have portrayed Superman? – Elpis19885 months ago
