I don't know anything about the Golden Age, I'm just here to vibe
Low-key same
I know a bit
so was the golden age
Same, if I even get one right, I’ll be astonished
Real 🙃
Sorry Tales to astonish is Silver Age
very good shiny
My knowledge is very little or not accurate i only know things from supergirl, green arrow, dc legends of tomorrow and most batman things
Same, trying my best but majorly ready to learn!
Anyone here alive during the golden age?
The shows are not always accurate to the comics so im done for most likely
the only dog i've got in this fight is green arrow, but i'm excited to see the questions!
Is Weird War Tales golden age or silver age?
Bronze
silver/ bronze isn't it
Golden is 30s/40s.
nope just bronze
im alove
I know a bit about Superman from the SIlver Age and a bit of Wonder Woman, but that's about it. I need to read up on my Batmanology again.
praise be
I'm not au fait with the JSA either, really
just took too hard of a nap
The Golden Age is usually considered to be 1938-c. 1954, without getitng into micro eras like the Atomic Age.

Socratic method
symbolic logic
I just ran through the types of reasoning in my head and just threw an answer out to see what sticks
Symbolic logic?
Correct!
The mere application of symbolic logic to the 6th degree
isn't inductive the opposite of deductive

golden age Green arrow - we have Batman at home.
was he even whimsy
car=plane
mirror=sphere
*Golden Age creator voice* BEHOLD, A PLANE! *points at car*
girl math
GA Green Arrow was created by Mort Weisinger, who also created Johnny Quick and Aquaman. Notice anything about these three guys?
It's a bird. It'a a plane. No, it's just a car
blonde
They survived the Golden Age purge in Adventure Comics.
papp got fired from dc. a shame.
They're all basically ripoffs of other characters.
lol
lmao
Except if a car is travelling at that height then something's gone wrong somewhere and we might need Superman
good artists copy great artists steal
batman
oh yeah him too
Batman. The early stories were extremely Batman coded.
Although GA was also largely taken from a novel that was popular at the time.
QUESTION #8
After Batman, who was the second DC character to be licensed for a live action film serial?
Superman?
Wonder Woman
Superman
Captain marvel
Captain Marvel
congo bill
Green Lantern
Spy Smasher
sgt rock
he wasnt DC at the time
Hop Harrigan
Swamp Thing
Correct!
who
whomst..
What a guy
Pilot character.
He was a pilot.
that worked out well for hop
wow what a pull, nice!
Got brought back recently in a backup by Chris Cantwell.
Who is Hop Harrigan?!
Wow, that’s a new one on me
Hasn't appeared since to 90s i think
I had no idea that serial existed. I'll have to hunt it down!
Star of All-American Comics #1!
Wonder women
You know. Hop Harrigan!
in another world we be watching his fourth reboot already
classic gamma
The pilot?
oh yeah, totally clears it up
can't believe the first dcu movie isnt hop harrigan
James Gunn has BIG plans for Hop Harrigan, TRUST ME
He was on the forgotten heroes once, I think
I think he appeared in Blubby Comics alongside beloved DC character Blubby McGubbins
He was kind of, like, a war pilot.
So like Blackhawks?
many such cases
Sounds like a character James Gunn would bring to the DCU. Maybe along with Sgt Rock
Yes, but American
Had one of his appearances colelcted in the DC Goes to War hardcover I read recently. It was not great.
No. His stories haven't aged well.

Hawkman has lived so many lives that he must have multiple doctorates
Make him the cutest man car door hook hand

Almost aswered Iron Muntro, which might be correct but obviously not in the actual Golden Age
are we obligated to say cyclone atom smasher hawkman
johnny thunder dr midnite starman
atom, hawkman, hourman?
Munro
uhh mister terrific, wildcat, black canary
Dr. Midnite, wildcat, starman
oh darn Nerd already was thinking the same thing
that's jonathan kent's fav guy
Me, myself, and I
2 of which weren't made yet
The people that joined then were the friends we made along the way
is he? that's fun
since he's supermans replacement
i think but don't quote me on that
wait Jon Kent or Pa Kent?
pa
amazed no one got this
I doubt Jon Kent knows who Iron Munro is
BTW, found the novle GA was probably ripped off of. The Green Archer, by Edgar Wallace. It'd been made into a serial a year or two before GA first appearaed.
frickin zoomers
goteem
Who is it then
wow thats like barely a change
we'll find out soon
Didnt even chasnge the color
when hub has been sufficiently disappointed in us
or the initials
That's time! I was looking for Starman, Doctor Mid-Nite, and Wonder Woman!
dr. owlman
oof so close
Oh right, Wonder Woman was their secretary right?
that's what I said!
I got 1/3 at least 🤷
At first, correct
I thought Johnny joined before
Was it?
Holy crap, I should’ve just kept Dr, I would’ve been partly right
Ah of course!
I wasn't sure if she technically counted and choked
Johnny replaces Flash in issue 5.
no 😔
lmao
I got zero right
But he's not part of a big replacement wave, he's just a single replacement.
No it wasn't
arcin you jokester
He's just Arcin around
Arcin, I'm muting you for 5 minutes for wasting my time
I said 2/3 but used Sandman or Sadman as I called him
deserved
harsh but fair
rip arcin
oof RIP Arcin
Technicalities
in my mind the JSA just exist fully formed, I've never read any of their early stories
QUESTION #11

Honer
zamn
To vring life bring death and bring power

Wow very nice! Never heard of a GL prophecy before
Well done on that one!
Actually, it was in fact death, then life, then power. Point to Sova!
I knew that from Doomsday Clock
For power wisdom and courage
Man, I had barely thought of the answer before someone got it
To warn danger, give hope and bring justice
Bad spelling on my part.

Where Superman also was first coined "The Man of Tomorrow", I think.
All-Star 7 is more like a crowd scene of heroes where they both cameo.

That would be the prequel to Worlds Finest, Worlds Fairest
oh wow tricky

It was actually issue 1! World's Finest begins with #2. There is no World's Finest #1.

and people ask why comics are so hard to get into
Ah no, I'm wrong. I forgot World's Best Comics #1
gdi
So yeah, that would be issue 0. My mistake
Clearly not the best smh
so many superlatives
World's Finest sounds so much better than Best.

pig iron is peter porkshop
Crow and Fox, Wimpys Willow, Peter Porkchop

I'd give this to you but Fox and Crow were licensed; they were never proper DC characters.
Dodo frog, don’t have a third
peter porkshop is pig iron
WOW there is a lot missing from infinite, lol
peter panda peter porkchop pig iron

Rex the Wonder Dog count then?
Everyones third favourite MGM cartoon shorts
Pig Iron is part of the zoo crew
Captain Carrot wasn't a Golden Age character.
Raccoon Kids, Peter Porkchop, Peter Panda
brought him back and gave him superpowers
I’m sorry, but whenever I hear Peter the Panda, I think of Phineas and Ferb since I’m rewatching it right now
initially he was just trying to avoid a wolf eating him I believe
i do not know any of these guys
Not a Funny Animal character, no. Non-anthropomorphic.
aren't we all
Excuse you, it was a wuzwulf
Tawky tawny
I mean I think he's amusing
If this was about theatrical shorts i would know some
I'll give this to you! I was looking for Peter Porkchop, Peter Panda, and Nutsy Squirrel.

We could have had a Popeye crossover back then
charlton did seem too obvious
Charlton acquired Blue Beetle later. He bounced around a few publishers before landing at DC.
This is also a Golden Age trivia, Charlton was Silver Age/Bronze Age.
Y'all should look up Fox Features, the guy who ran it, Victor Fox, was a hoot. Complete lunatic.

frogmen is a military term WINGING
I always think of Johnny Quest when it comes to Frogmen, be it GI Joe, OJ Simpson or Showcase.
DC bring them back and make them team up with King Shark and Black Manta
im a pacifist
ancillary wing of the Sea Devils.
I always think of The Venture Bros, which to be fair was parodying Johnny Quest
thats why i kick children
I was very confused reading Kirbys jimmy olsen and seeing a guy just named frogman
so I had to look it up
One day I'll do Venture Bros trivia. Just not here, probably
in general
What if we vote for it?
doctor orhpeus my goat
It's gotta be DC related, I'm afraid
My two skills are brick throwing and frog being
Just got to wait for the inevitable crossover.
DARN, I thought that "probably" was a hint at a loophole, lol
maybe dc will buy the rights
They are both owned by WB...
my golden age knowledge does not extend beyond Fawcett sadly, but I will stick around for the ride
The "probably" is me holding out hope that one day DC publishes a Venture Bros comic
dc quiz about all characters dc have licenced, Star Trek, V, Doc Savage, The Shadow
I think that's a discussion way above any of our paygrades
Well Hank was Batman for an episode
I'm something of a Quizboy
OOOH now that would be a great loophole
my golden age knowledge doesnt extend beyond detective 38
Or at least "The Bat"
I've gotten to do Scooby-Doo trivia that way before
Star Trek did have two crossovers with DC
me with more fun comics 73
that's like 10 issues of tec
Zoinks!
yeah and
star trek had an ongoing with dc
if they just made a new one
There was a Scooby trivia and I missed it
STAR TREK TRIVIAAA
shoot and we already have batman references in Venture Bros, just need to make the jump
This was back in the message board days.
you said you'd read like 8 at first
I overthought the topic this week and read way more Genius Jones features than I needed to
Star Trek and Venture Bros are the two things I couldn't be more prepared for after Transmetropolitan
you're really bad at math
i didnt read any batman between 27 and 38
There's never enough Genius Jones.
