DC Comics #1 & The CB Vs Forum

I'd like some input and ideas on how we should handle the DC issues starting in September.

I've heard it will be a reboot, just a renumbering and just a retelling of origins and characters. I haven't been keeping up with what exactly DC is going to do regarding the past 20+ years of comic history.

I do know we can't disregard all the history since the first Crisis in the CB Vs Forum since it may take months to years for characters to gain enough showings and feats to be of use here.

Should we just integrate all the DC comics starting in September as if nothing happened?

Use all the prior feats and wait to see how this all plays out?

My main goal is not to have dozens of repeat threads just because all DC comics will be starting at #1 in September. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I vote we continue business as usual until every character has enough feats to be argued as separate.

I think they should be argued as separate characters, just like pre vs post crisis.

Until feats and any changes have some time to become established, I would just continue the status quo with post-crisis to pre-reboot being the standard.

Just my 2 cents.

agreed, when making a vs thread best to specify which version of the character. remake version or golden age or modern for example.

That's great when they get some feats under their belts, but what do you assume when someone in September makes a "Superman vs. Blah" thread? Do you use pre-reboot feats or the one feat that new Superman has at that point?

They should specify which one they are using.

Should people even be allowed to use characters before they have real feats?

Obviously when characters are established there should be specificity...

People use basically featless characters all the time. Does it lead to good discussion? Usually not. Should they still be allowed to do it? Of course.

I don't see any reason to apply a characters history if the comics themselves aren't doing it.

Not all characters will be effected. However, we know Superman will change. Probably dramatically. Batman won't. Green Lantern will probably stay the same, etc... Others like Captain Atom, Hawkman, and Firestrom will have changes as well. It all depends on the character.

If we do use the new DCU characters, how will we label it?

This is different from featless characters because people will use pre-reboot feats/assumptions that don't necessarily apply regardless

Same deal with the crisis. People are quick to point out that new gods/gl/whoever is unaffected. Obviously, if they keep their history then we should as well. And if they don't we shouldn't.

I suggest staying simple. Pre/post Reboot.

Well that's exactly what we should rule out, by having separate versions.

I agree...but not immediately. Keep it pre-only for most characters until they're established

If you want to discuss post reboot, with only the feats they actually have performed, I don't see the problem.

Or maybe, how do they say it? DCnU Superman?

Maybe I'm just excessively cynical and think unwarranted assumptions will carry over regardless (e.g. assumptions over Superman's speed/strength)

Edit: Just wanted to make it clear that I don't think I'm above making these assumptions also. In fact, I almost certainly would
