quote:Originally posted by I'm Not Mister Mxypltk: The story started in those comics isn't continued every week. It stops there (stops for good in Watchmen's case). There aren't any "The Watchmen" or Bat-Man comics nowadays that have to respect what was established in those comics published every week. If that was the case, and they were published in a "character can't age" world like Superman, the story would suffer a lot. It'd degradate, just like Superman has.
So the criteria seems to be a comic book A) whose origin dates back to the 1980's and B) has been published once a week for 17 years...
Batman
Green Lantern
Those are the ones that come the closest to meeting that critirea and neither one (Year One and Emerald Dawn) are being revised.

Like when you tell a joke 200 times. At some point it gets old. Why did Man of Steel get old before the other origins? Simple. I insist; one addition to the ongoing story each weeks damages the story and the character on the long run. The thing about it being "too 80's" is just something personal. Nothing I expect everyone to feel.
That doesn't make much sense, not on the face of Year One and Emerald Dawn.
What version of Zorro did the Waynes go to see? A 1980's version of the movie or the 1990's Antonio Banderas movie?
As continuity stands now, they saw whatever version came out in the 80's (Death and the Maidens says that the Wayne's died 25 years ago).
See, that Zorro thing can change without altering the overall origin. Changing Krypton like Waid is doing changes not only the origin but over 80% of the stories that came out of MoS!
So, for a third time, I have to ask you, what's OLD about MoS? Are any of the points I brought up old, too 80's or too outdated?
