Debate settled. We both win. As for Final Crisis, I really hope they don't do a total reboot of everything. That'd be just like what they did to Spider-Man but on a much grander scale. OK, this might be a stupid question, but what earth is the main earth that is in the comics? It is called New Earth. |

Wikipedia is not the definitive say so for comics. each entry is written by a regular person. you or me can write articles for wikipedia, and wikipedia has been proven wrong so many times that you really cant believe anything you read on that site. so if the only evidence you are showing is an article from a site that isnt fact based, than you haven't proven anything to me. i've shown evidence from issues of the comics itself. state comics that prove anything that happened in Year One actually did and show that it's a part of the New Earth continuity and not a part of Earth-31's continuity and i can believe it and admit i was mistaken, or we can discuss that. but i'm not mistaken and there is no proof from the comics, as the comic proof clearly shows that the story takes place outside of the regular continuity. Dude, it's in both New Earth's and Earth 31's continuities. Besides, there are tons of Batman's stories that refer to Year One. - The Man Who Falls shows an exact frame from Year One from when Bruce was fighting that pimp. - The Man Who Laughs is continued from Year One, as the Joker was mentioned at the end of Year One mentioning he was poisoning the resevoir. - Year One shows Gordon thinking Harvey Dent is Batman, and that is also brought up in The Long Halloween. Why can't you just except that Year One IS in regular DCU continuity? Seriously, if anyone agrees, can I get some backup here? I'm on the same page as you with this one. I've always viewed Year One as being official DC continutiy that just happened to be written by Frank Miller, while all of his other work (Dark Knight Returns, Dark Knight Strikes Again, All-Star Batman and Robin) were in their own seperate universe. I think what you said about Year One being the beginning in each universe and then splitting after that is definitely a good idea though. |

I always thought that Frank Miller's work wasn't regular continutiy due to his Batman being more violent and sadistic than the regular Batman. I think that comics that aren't regu;ar DCU should keep the"Elseworlds" logo as to not confuse everyone.
