  1. After watching this, I, personally, think that a good way to reintroduce The Question back into comics would be slowly. Have him make small, yet important cameos in other comics, questioning the philosophies of certain heros (maybe asking Batman why a man who's caused countless deaths, immense suffering, deserves to live more than those he ended the lives of. Asking how worthless Batman saw those innocents lives if THIS is the man he keeps alive) or asking one, simple question that ends up leading a hero to solve some mystery. Eventually leading to The Question getting a new comic run, but never quite showing The Questions face, leading to the reader asking a question; Who is behind the mask? Is it still Vic Sage? The girl he tried to protect? Someone that was saved by the original Question, and took up the mask after The Question disappeared? A version of The Riddler that changed his ways? Just another regular guy fed up with corruption?

  2. He could be a Trevanian character (Nicholai Hel & Jonathan Hemlock) perhaps Trevanian was also influenced by "The Question" ….. you can also see his mark in the characters of Jack Reacher and John Clark…. interesting / thought provoking stuff. Thank you.

  4. Wasn't the question a Charlton character like the blue beatle and all of the other characters that were used as templates for the watchmen? I seem to remember the creator being a stanch objectivist.

  5. Love Denny O'Neil's run on the Question. A pity there isn't much more material with the Vic Sage version, but I guess it's for the best so he doesn't get diluted with mediocre stories.
