I saw this sentence in the chapter comments: Why write about an orphanage and go directly to the main plot?
Probably, the main plot he is talking about is the movie plot, such as "Batman v Superman" and "Justice League".
The protagonist of this book is Harley Quinn. As we all know, her home field is Gotham, not Superman's Metropolis, Green Arrow's Star City, The Flash's Midtown... So, there will be more
The plot of Gotham. Without a group of Batman fans with different personalities, Batman will lose his charm.
This book is set relatively early, and even Batman is still a high school student, so obviously he cannot directly enter the movie plot. If it involves the plot of Gotham, it will focus more on the origins of various characters.
Of course, the plot of Gotham is not the main line of this book.
Every novel, even fan fiction, has a focus.
This book mainly follows the DC magic side of the plot, with Gotham plot mixed in. Of course, the plot of Justice League is there, but it will not be the core.
Having said that, I guess some readers still don’t quite understand.
To be direct, in addition to individual publications, DC comics are mainly divided into several organizations: "Justice League", "Teen Titans", "Suicide Squad", "Justice League Dark"... (Actually, there is also "Justice League of America"
", "Green Lantern" and other very popular group publications, but they are not the focus)
Among fan fiction, the most common genre is actually the "Justice League" genre, which means following the plot of the Justice League.
Speaking of which, I have to complain that the Justice League vs. Darkseid is a very... small event among the major DC events.
There are so many more interesting and influential events in DC, so there is no need to limit the content to just those few movies.
Okay, let's continue.
Although Harley Quinn belongs to "Suicide Squad" in the comics, it is obvious that she will not be captured by Waller as a killer in this book, so she will not be able to follow the Suicide Squad plot.
This book mainly follows the path of "Justice League Dark".
"Justice League" is very famous and everyone is familiar with it. "Justice League Dark" is a bit more off-the-beaten-path. It was officially named after the reboot of the New 52 universe (the group existed before, but did not have such a name).
Justice League Dark is not a black version of the Justice League members, but a "Magical Justice League".
What is the difference between "Justice League of America" and "Justice League"?
"Justice League" is formed spontaneously by the three giants and the seven major leaders. "Justice League of America" is a team formed by the US government to recruit a group of American superheroes, which is very specific to "Justice League".
"Justice League Dark" is an "underground" Justice League composed of a group of magicians.
Both the American Zhenglian and the Dark Zhenglian are copycats of the Justice League.
