Do you know this DC character?

As of Dec 20, 2024 Submissions are closed

In the tradition of several other "Do you know" and "Have you read/seen" blogs, here's one just for DC Comics characters!

Polls

Break down of the options:

I know them extremely well: Knowledge transcends genre or media. You've consumed it all. You're ready to give a TED talk about them at a moment's notice.

I know them: Familiar enough to talk about their source material. You've got all their many story beats down, but not enough to consider yourself an expert.

I know of them but not well: You're acquainted at best, you know them from cultural osmosis.

I've seen them or heard their name but don't know them.

I've never heard of them.

If a version of the character isn't specified by the submitter, "I know them" is replaced with these two options:

I know them from comics

I know them from other media

Note: There may be cases where "other media" is present but doesn't apply. Your friendly mod doesn't know all characters' appearances in all media, so it's easier to keep it there for consistency.

So here's the deal. Since summer there have only been two more submissions, so I think it's fair to say the excitement of this kind of "do you know" account has died down, especially since polls in general are no longer the new vogueness they once were. I'm also in a personal wind-down phase as far as tumblr, social media and comics in general. I had a lot of fun running this one, but in the scheme of things, I'd rather focus my energies on my other accounts, so this is the one to say good bye to.

But I don't want to just close up shop and disappear in the night, so I figured I'd post the two that have been waiting, and I'll leave the submission form open for a few more weeks.

Hello hello. I see what you're saying, but I think "I know them across media" doesn't capture the meaning of that option. That one is for the die hard fans, the ones who have seen it all, the people who know the character better than the writers. So yes, that does mean across media, but the heart of it is knowing the character deeply.
