A question, do you think Superheroes and Street Heroes are portrayed better in media? Well ok maybe better isn't the right word.....ahh...more...more down to earth so to speak? I mean in comics, you have Superheroes doing a bunch of crazy stuff but in media its like...they do crazy things however its not over the top ya know? The heroes are depowered, however they still are able to do some pretty insane stuff and they aren't so OP that they are given challenges which makes for a nice story. Anyway just wondering, if some thought of this I dunno if I chose the correct words for what I was trying to say but oh well..

Well Vigilante is a no name in the comics but good supporting character in JLU. That's an example of being portrayed better in the media.

@Jnr6Lil:  Ya Vigilante was neat in JLU. Space Cowboy! Question was good too, they really should have went with making an animated series for Q....in fact a lot of characters should have their own show but I guess that would be too many shows lol.

It depends on the character. For instance I quite like the film version of Thor but I don't like him in the comics

@Wolfrazer: Huntress with her own show would be good. Closest thing to a female Batman I've seen.

@Jnr6Lil:  Was actually thinking for a Q: TAS, Huntress would be his partner/love interest, always liked them as a couple would fit. Plus always did wanna see Q working in his city him relying on just what he can get by not no fancy gadgets or anything unlike Batman plus always did wanna see a visal of where Q comes from, which makes Gotham look like a paradise.

@Jnr6Lil:  Marketable......./sigh, don't know if they don't try besides it would also expand more on other heroes rather then the same old same old Superman/Batman things and all. Get some good writers, good voice actors, good animation style you can have a good tv show that people will watch I mean tv comes out with news shows all the time and people watch those.

Question is too normal for kids. He's best suited for an older audience, and that wasn't JLU's target audience.

I know, but so? JLU was suited for just everyone, which fit nicely it wasn't too kiddie but it also wasn't too adult therefore a large audience could watch and enjoy the show. It had a good mix of everything, Batman: TAS was the same way and Batman is normal.....well sorta(of course by today's standards, I think it would be rated PG rather then Y-7), and yes Question is more normal then Batman but its not like you still can't tell great stories with normal characters. Have already thought up of some nice characters, and a few episodes myself.

JLU was still a kids show though, no matter how mature it was.

At its core yes it was, but its not like others couldn't watch and enjoy it.

@Jnr6Lil:  Its usually aimed at kids/teens for the most part, but adults can enjoy it too. But in all honesty, anyone could watch anything really just as long as they enjoy the show it'll do well.

Everybody can "get the character", no matter where do they come from in the whole media...

@MadeinBangladesh:  Nope the real Q(Vic Sage) is coming back, though apparently not as he was before which is rather disappointing, but will see where he goes now. As for female Q....who is that? Only Question I know is Vic, any other is a knock off. Really some heroes, shouldn't be changed out at all.

@Jnr6Lil:  Yes I know, was playing dumb cause I don't like her. Don't ask why, its mostly for a few characters though I  take one look at them, see what they do, and hate them. Can't explain why, just do. Am glad Vic is coming back though, not as Q which is sad but coming back none the less.
