[edit] Talk
"the stories are not necessarily part of the continuity of the other Batman comics" - does that mean that they are not canon? --Paul A 05:04, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- As I understand it, they are canon, but unlike other Batman books, Legends does not directly take into account the events of other Batman titles, as most of the stories in the book do not take place in the same general timeframe. (So, for example, if in Detective Comics the Wayne Manor explodes or Alfred turns out to be the Joker in disguise or Bats decides to reveal his identity to the world, an event that drastic will be taken into account in the other Batman books, like Batman or Superman/Batman, but most likely not in Legends, as more often than not, the stories in the book happen during Year One or some other period other than the current Batman continuity.) -- Captain Disdain 00:40, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Right. They are canonical, but not part of current events and major significant events in Batman's career. In Detective Comics, Batman mentioned he did something (I forget what), and an issue of LEGENDS did have that story! Even if it's a younger Batman, this is a different time period than "today." -- Jonathan.Bruce 05:34, 6 Oct 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Year One
I removed almost all of the explanation of what the Year One stories are about from this article, as I felt that more in-depth explanation of the concept should really be done in the main Batman article. (Naturally, I wrote it up over there, too.) Now a casual reader gets the basic idea of the concept without being bogged down by stuff about differences in costume and whatnot -- all that isn't relevant to Legends of the Dark Knight in general, especially as plenty of important stories set in Year One have appeared elsewhere. -- Captain Disdain 00:45, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Animated series edits by T-Man
Look, T-man, you just don;t seem to get it. This page, Legends of the Dark Knight, is about a COMIC BOOK series. You cannot simply use the =Top Level Tag= to create a confusing double entry on this page for a comic book series and ONE EPISODE OF A TV SHOW. Episodes of TV shows, especially animated ones, do not get their own wikior top level entry. I am content with there being a ==Notes== section to point out this fact, although your write-up is too long and unverified and POV on the subject and it should be shortened further. Please wait for consensus now before changing it again. Thoughts by others? Dyslexic agnostic 02:45, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RE: Animated series edits by T-Man
I like the information he gives, it is interesting to know, but it should be some were else. Maybe just the comment that it was also the title of a cartoon episode. Kevin Jones
Perhaps the unstated "somewhere else" could be somewhere on the TNBA article. We could even have it redirect to the specific section. I don't think the episode merits it's own article.--Gillespee 05:29, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
