Once again, I think Veronica Mars should be in BOP

**Mark_S** · 08-21-2010, 08:09 AM

As long as we've got the book back and Gail is writing it I'd like Veronica Mars to be on the BOP cast. It's a futile hope I know, but it hurts nothing to hope. What Gail could do with Veronica...

Obviously, no.

But they could introduce Chloe Sullivan. Basically the same person, anyway.

Be careful what you wish for. Even if WB and Rob Thomas signed off on it, I doubt a trip to the DCU would be beneficial to the character. Assuming she's survives more than a few years, she'll be powered up and running around in spandex before you know it. I personally don't care, but I doubt Mars fans would want to see her become another Rick Jones.

I think Gail could handle her, Zinda has no powers and fits into the BOP and she doesn't really wear a costume.

She's appearing in Action Comics #893 and will be in the Jimmy Olsen co-feature for the time being.

I like veronica mars...but come on man this is like stright up fan fiction. I want supernatrual duo on justice league (that is a joke).

**Jeff Brady** · 08-24-2010, 01:02 PM

No, thanks. Just...no.

You know the first few times this was posted, I actually made the mistake of thinking the person was being SERIOUS.

Veronica Mars is a lovely character in her own continuity (and it should perhaps have comic books in that continuity--a "Season 4" comic was allegedly actually proposed as one to DC). Elsewhere, shoveled into some other continuity, she'd be a total joke (just as I expect Chloe Sullivan to be).

Then again, I expect the O.P.. knows this, and is just venting about how hot he thinks Kristen Bell is or something like that.

Not at all. It may be a fan fict idea but I think it is a good one. Why should a good character be left in limbo? At the end of her series Veronica was getting tangled up in a secret society battle. Why couldn't that be carried over into the DCU?

Because she doesn't fit. From what I've read on the character & series, she's Barbara Gordon without the Batgirl costume, but with a little more angst.

Beyond that, there's nothing in the VM universe that hints at the supernatural or superhuman. Her "adventures" in the DCU would be Section 3, Page 14 of Smallville's newspaper, and wouldn't rate at all in the Daily Planet. Forcing her to deal with super-crime, etc., would be useless and meaningless. It would be as pointless as putting the Simpsons in the world of Samurai Jack.

Do you wanna see her get dismembered in some event comic?

She could fit. In the DCU there are probably a lot of women like Veronica. Women who don't have the connections to become super powered or who never wear a costume but have adventures never the less.

Considering Veronica was never shown to be good at hand-to-hand combat (or any combat), that's what would happen.

The point is that that would be boring compared to every other DCU comic, because it would have no bearing on the rest of the universe.

It's the same reason there isn't a Law & Order comic in the DCU. If there's no relation to the rest of the DCU, who cares?

The only reason Gotham Central was interesting was because it dealt with Batman and the various supervillains in Gotham.
