Most under/over played characters ever?

Started by jalek moye3 pages

of the top of my head I don't know, it's more of the idea I'm talking about. atm most people like nightwing and them might not work so well at this point permanent. My idea is more so just in general, like years down the line possibly building up replacement character for who some of who ever is big name at the time. And not have the actual change take place until years after that as well. More so saying my general concept of how to do it, then specific characters.

Oh okay.

Maybe it's just me, but when I read, say, a Batman comic, I'm not doing it just to read about Batman; I'm doing it to read about Bruce Wayne. His life, his relationships, all that.

If they brought in someone else, I lose that, as much as I might like the new guy.

Like, imagine if Claremont had gotten his wish and Cyclops had really permanently left the X-Men when Cable was born? I'd be shit out of luck, then.

Not saying your idea doesn't have merit; I just disagree to an extent.

For Batman it would be tricky, since it would need to be a character that had alot to do with personal life that we see them from together over a long time. (longer for batman then most, over a decade maybe.) And even after he hands the mantle over, he'd still be a big part of the books just a different role. It'd transition from Batman to Batman & someguy to Batman(new guy) and bruce wayne. And then maybe hellas from now just the new guy.

The way I'm talking about wouldn't be done, but it'd be something I'd love seeing real organic transition through the process. (obviously not real time, skips, stalls and jumps whenever needed) You'd need an amazing batman writer to stay on for a long while though, or people who share the same idea.

Cyclops though I could see working out pretty well if, say Cable stayed with him and he slowly from then to now molded him into a leader and then went to Xaviers position and not on the field.
