The question gaining sudden popularity reminds me of other older characters gaining sudden popularity like John Constantine, Doom Patrol or even Deadpool. They weren't as ubiquitous as they are now.
i do think the question should be the better detective eince thats his thing and what he specializing in, its like asking who should be the fastest man alive? the flash or superman
Dc has so many characters that are INCREDIBLY underrated. The Question is one of them he was amazing in justice league unlimited I hope dc would give this man the love he deserves because he’s just that cool and he’s an amazing detective 🕵🏻♂️
If you want a perfect villain for him then create a villain like Chameleon from Spider-Man. Someone who can impersonate anyone. Serial killer villains would also be perfect for him. Make a True Detective vibe story for him and make a serial killer who every time he kills has a different face.
I had a similar idea of a lower tech Mysterio with the question having to figure out the theatrical effects he uses to solve his crimes. With his noir aesthetic Victorian penny dreadful characters like Spring Heal Jack and Jack the Ripper would also be interesting. While Jack the Ripper was a real person, the newspapers and Penny Dreadfuls made things up to add to his legend. This could also tie in to the idea that the Question is immortal or reincarnated.
Definitely a character that deserves a solo title. I never liked the fact that Montoya became the Question, mostly because they never interacted before DC decided to make Renee the new Question: it's as if Jimmy Olsen becomes the new Creeper cause both he and Jack Ryder are journalists, it's just dumb. According to this logic Harvey Bullock could have been the new Question too. As for my hot take i would say that the Question should go back to his roots and become a more objectivist hero. After all Steve Ditko envisioned the Question as a less extreme version of his Mr.E and i don't think there's nothing wrong with having a minor character having a more distinct political view: It helped Green Arrow becoming more popular and distinguish him from Batman so i think it could work for the Question too. P.S. imagine Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan working on a Question solo title? A dream come true
I will say the Court of Owls needs to be branched out a little bit more in the DC universe. They are villain's organization that need to be a little bit more known.
Great vid! There’s so many detectives in (Detective Comics) 😅 I think the question would do really well with a small power up and a specific villain like a crime boss like black mask but with the intellect of someone like ras al ghul. But the question needs an ability that sets him apart from the other detectives in the universe
Thanks for featuring my comment. I fully agree with your thoughts that it would be better for The Question to get his own villains and not have them be rehashed from Batman's/other hero's rogues. I just think Batman's enemies specifically could be shared with The Question sometimes (Kinda Like how Daredevil and Spiderman share Kingpin.) But Question needs his own enemies, definitely!
Maybe his recent "Pop" has to do with true crime being so popular. The slow drip of high profile sex traffickers. The general distrust in the government. The lack government response to places like East Palestine, Ohio or the worse Conyers, Georgia
I think the Question could be the greatest detective because thats kind of what he has. Same way that Flash has to be the fastest and not Superman. Its just better for the narrative. If Flash isnt the fastest then what is he...? Batman is already got a complete package kind of like how Superman does as well.
The greatest detective in the DC universe isn’t Batman and it isn’t the Question… It’s Detective Chip. Jokes aside, if we’re talking purely about humans, I think it really depends on the writer. But at the end of the day, I feel like even Batman and the question wouldn’t care which of them is technically the better detective. They both have their off and both respect the other’s achievements.
The Question should also be one of the world’s greatest hackers in the DC universe, for being the best at solving cybercrimes and thereby being able to bring cybercriminals to justice
Great Video. DC Batman is the greatest everything. We can’t change that without pissing a lot of fans off. The Question having tracking powers is thee most DC thing they could ever do😂😂😂😂
I was familiar with The Question before DC bought out the Charlton characters. To me, he was a less preachy version of Mr. A. who predated him. His first DC series did a good job of reworking his backstory and gave him the momentum to be one of the top heroes, however, once The Watchmen came out, he was overtaken by Rorschach. So much so that writers made The Question look like he was based on Rorschach and not the other way around. In fact, Rorschach was a combination of The Question and Mr. A. Before his mental breakdown, Rorschach was a nuanced and balanced person. Afterwards, he became more like Mr. A and saw the world in black-and-white terms and wouldn't coompromise his morality even if doing so would lead to the greater good. It didn't help when they tried to portray The Question as less of a competent hero and more like a person with a mental problem who needed to be kept at arms length. If there truly is a resurgence of interest in the character, then they should put him back into Hub City. Reestablish Vic Sage, the investigative reporter and keep him out of the larger DCU for a while. If he has to interact with other heroes, then let it be the ones he has a history with: Capt. Atom, Blue Beetle, Nightshade, Paecemaker, AND Thunderbolt.
Not a comment point but I didn’t know the question had a face 😂😂 , I just thought he doesn’t have a face , until the jlu cartoon , where huntress took off his face mask thing
Why can’t villains fight different heroes on different occasions? Juggernaut has fought both X-Men and the Hulk separately for instance for different reasons.
There's already a character solely a detective argued as being the actual world's greatest detective, its detective chimp
Absolutely! I think of him as well. 👊👊👏👏
I bet he’s gonna appear in the Gunnverse. That’s like such a perfect character for him to use

Justice League Unlimited made everyone The Question fans. I could 100% see James Gunn using this underrated character.
The Huntress (Helena Wayne) Next💜💜

The Question has been one of my top 5 favorite DC characters for the longest time! I'm so glad to see him as the main topic in one of your vidoes
I totally suggest reading the Dennis O’Neil run to anyone who hasn’t because it’s a banger
If you want a perfect villain for him then create a villain like Chameleon from Spider-Man. Someone who can impersonate anyone. Serial killer villains would also be perfect for him. Make a True Detective vibe story for him and make a serial killer who every time he kills has a different face.
That’s perfect. A faceless man vs a person who can wear any face
@@rfisher89 Absolutely! 👊👏👏
I agree and for that reason I think hush would be a better villain for the question than Batman. Jane doe works to tho
@@celtic19 I can see that working. I also think the Court of Owls would be good. Secret societies are right up the Questions wheel house.

Globally known secret organisation 😃
Just a joke, agree with you 💯%

No problem, thank you for commenting! But I definitely see what you mean, there are some villains they could share.

4:42 this is such a cool idea, I'd love to see this implemented in some way in the comics.
Thank you for talking about these topics

It's the Question. Batman is a great profiler, but he's not the world's greatest Detective.
A Team Up With Rorschach & The Question Would Be Great
The Question should also be one of the world’s greatest hackers in the DC universe, for being the best at solving cybercrimes and thereby being able to bring cybercriminals to justice
I like your unpopular opinion. It was kinda similar to mine but wider in scope.
Great content man, i think its cool how often you respond to my comments
Thank you! And thanks for leaving comments, I'll always get around to them as much as I can!
Great Video.

DC should 100% stop making Watchmen spinoffs and just use the original guys.

His no face is so normal to see that when he you see his real face it doesn't feel right 😂
@@tyrellmultimedia yup 😂😂

The Question is popular now thanks to the work of RUclipsr AceVane! The Question be asking questions! It's his super power!
will you make a video about the watchmen universe?
Is The Question just a riff on Rorschach from the Watchmen?
He was the inspiration for Rorschach
What Pedro said ☝🏼
All the Watchmen characters are incarnations of other DC characters.
@@CaptainEtc this is why Alan Moore hates us
Also where do we put our unpopular opinions?
In the community tab he makes a post on who the next unpopular opinion character will be and you can comment on that post.
