JLA/Batman Inconsistency

[Blue121]

In JLA: Obsidian Age, Batman and the rest of the JLA will be doing some time traveling. Yet, I assume Batman will still be around for his monthlies. Is their any explanation for this, or just that comics are comics?

Correct me if im wrong but I believe JLA is in its own continuity, and completly seperate from the normal DC universe.

did JL deal with OWAW at all?

I don't think so, becaues in Golden Perfect part #1, MM talks about Batman being on trial, and there are probably other examples.

And I believe JLA did deal with OWAW.

JLA is DEFINITELY part of normal continuity. They did participate in OWAW, and were unfortunately victim to LAST LAUGH. Other worthy mentions:

1) Superman's costume change when he went electric.

2) Wonder Woman dying and replaced by Hypolytha.

3) The two billion times Batman's changed his costume.

4) Wally West's disappearance and the emergence of the Dark Flash.

As for the other stuff.....just the way it happens. The "Obsidian Age" story will probably only take a week at most, DCU time (which happens a lot, example being the 6-part "Rock of Ages" story that took place over three days), so Batman would have time to get back if he does indeed travel through time.

But the general idea of JLA is to reflect current events in the individual members' comics, but not be chained down by them.

i stand corrected

Sugar Daddy, the quick explanation is that the stories in Batman just happened before or after the events in "Obsidian Age." That's all.

This is such a stupid thread.

A stupid thread????? Why - it was a vaild question.

A stupid post

Batman changing his costume 2 billion times????? A few slight variations over the years, yeah - but come on - I'd be annoyed if he started looking like Batman Beyond or something along those lines but the slight changes haven't bothered me. I have to admit that I'm glad they went back to the Black Bat/original costume after NML, it's by far the best - love the new belt - much more realistic!!!

At least Bats never turned into some silly blue (and red) energy thing!!!

I just ment it was silly to ask why two differant comic book series with the same character in them occur at the same time.

Gotcha It's the wacky world of the DCU - so many times they mess up continuity within on-going titles its hard to tell at times what is and what isn't, especially with all that is going on in the Bat-Titles presently!!!

I don't see what's so silly about it...there are people who are interested in continuity...sure, there is a logical explaination, the answer is, the "comic book timezone" is not the same, no matter when a comic is published.

That offends me. I don't think I asked a stupid question. I was curious about something. So I asked.

How is that silly? Because you knew the answer and I didn't?

I thought that was quite rude myself.

Re: Re: Re: JLA/Batman Inconsistency

I just think it's obvious that even though they are released at the same time they are not actually occuring at the same time.

Not everybody knows everything there is to know about comic books.

That was a rude and inconsiderate comment and I believe you owe Sugar Daddy an apology.

Dudes....give it a rest (yeah, you knew I'd be the one to come in and say that). He thinks it's a stupid thread, well, that makes him just as stupid for clicking on it, not to mention replying to it, just to say that.

I Appreciate that, not sure if i'm supposed to, but I'll just take it in the best way possible.
