Headcanon

Jan 26, 2012 13:00

This is a term I heard from Dragonbat2004 when we were talking last night. Headcanon is how a given fan makes sense of canon in their own head. There's nothing official about it. It's just what works for the individual. And it got me wondering.

We all have our own for given characters. For example my headcanon for Cass doesn't include the ( Read more... )

dc, dcau, comics, musings

Well... since I inspired this post... dragonbat2006 January 26 2012, 21:32:37 UTC

Ditto on excluding Beechen!Cass. My Tim never got to be quite so cold. I'm so far reading DCnU but with very minor exceptions, not really incorporating the changes in backstory/personality. In other words, do I accept that Babs is Batgirl again? Yes, but for me there's no ambiguity-she was Oracle, and she, BC, Huntress and later Zinda formed the core of the BoP. I have no problem with the new team, or believing that Babs basically resigned leadership of it when she went to South Africa to have her surgery/rehab, but it used to be her team, dagnabbit ( ... )

The reboot for Babs in general annoys me. So in my headcanon she's still in the chair and still Oracle.

I hear you Bruce. My Bruce has communication issues and fails at demonstrating his feelings, but he's not the heartless monster some of the writers make him into. Also the whole final crisis/time skipping thing doesn't exist for me. I mean I can't STAND that. If I need him to have been out of things for a year, then I have him being poisoned in RIP and in a coma for a few months, then having to work to get himself make in shape before he can resume the mantle.

Damian....I stick to Streets of Gotham Damian. He has anger and control issues, but he's not devoid of empathy and he IS learning how to have fun, even if he's awkward as hell at it. I mean his time with Dick HAS to have counted for something. The mess he currently is in B&R is a bloody travesty.

I have multiple different headcanons for the Bat!Verse going on at once in my head, it's kinda demented. Seeing as I read slighty more fic than I read actual published comics, it's heavily influenced by that.

That's understandable :) Especial seeing as Fic FAR outshines the comics these days.
