Talk:Black Hood

9-9-2007
I have the issue where they reveal the Hood's origin. The magician who cursed the Black Hood to "do only good" was portrayed as being male, not female. 68.225.36.177 17:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Merger
Does it make sense to have both a The Black Hood and Black Hood Comics pages? Wouldn't one or the other suffice? Wjousts (talk) 01:13, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The Black Hood is the character and Black Hood Comics is a comic book published by MLJ Comics, add info of Black Hood Comics to The Black Hood. Keep The Black Hood article--Brown Shoes22 (talk) 03:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with the merger but can't work out the best way to do it. Hiding T 20:23, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll happily take this on, although it may take a few weeks as I'm tackling a couple of GA publishers for which details are proving a bit elusive.  I'd suggest the best way to amalgamate would be a 'publication history' section to describe all the MLJ/Archie/DC publications, artists and other 'real-life' info, then a 'fictional character history' to cover all the variant Hoods, and maybe a catch-all at the end if there's anything else burning (I've just done similar with Rex the Wonder Dog, if you want a look, or the Dominic Fortune page. That way the whole lot would be in one place. Having said that, I think all MLJ comics details should also be under a seperate 'MLJ (publishers)' category - at the moment it is re-directed to Archie. Perhaps later ... Cheers! Archiveangel (talk) 12:34, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

REVISION MARCH 2010
This subject is about to receive a revision in the next few days as part of my project to update and standardise in the recommended style all the non-Archie character MLJ/Archie/Red Circle titles during the next few months - ie those titles involving superhero and adventure characters. Impact and the new DC titles with MLJ/Archie characters will also be included. Any suggestions or comments appreciated at my talk page User_talk:Archiveangel or here. You'll find an ongoing list on how things are proceeding and what's planned on my talk page. Series titles will be dealt with first, characters after.

Nobody has put forward any alternative suggestions for a merger with Black Hood, so to bring Black Hood Comics in line with the rest of the work I'm doing I'm going to remove all Black Hood character history from Black Hood Comics and add it to the Black Hood page. Black Hood Comics will then be for details of the comic title only, Black Hood for the character across all titles he has appeared in. I'll do a temporary fix for Black Hood to bring the relevant info across, as I'm not planning a full review of the page until I've dealt with the rest of the comics titles first, which will be a month or so.

Upload is planned by Sunday 07 March 2010

 * Yes looking it over, all the information on the Black Hood should be over here, as should that on the other Black Hoods and "Beyond comics" should be moved to an "other media" section here. I'm not sure why that is all over there and not here, but those changes will then free up the other article to focus on the title and its contents (especially the other stories in it, if it wasn't for them we could just jam both articles together, doing that with an anthology would get confusing) with people directed over here for the full information on the character.

 * exactly - to clarify for anyone else, Black Hood is for details of the CHARACTER Black Hood, his origins and his newer alternatives, - anything to do with Black Hood TITLES, the MLJ magazine or any of the later Red Circle/etc titles should be in Black Hood Comics. Bear with us for a while, it'll make sense Archiveangel (talk) 18:52, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

DC use
DC comics seem to be reviving their line of the old Archie heroes and integrating them into their mainstream Earth-1 universe, where they'll be interacting with DC's stable of in-house heroes.Rickremember (talk) 00:48, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Temporary home for information removed from Black Hood Comics
I've put the stuff deleted from Black Hood Comics during the rewrite here temporarily. I'll be updating the Black Hood page sometime late March hopefully.

The Black Hood Created in 1940, in the October issue of Top-Notch Comics by Harry Shorten (writer) and Al Camy (artist), the Black Hood was Patrolman Kip Burland, who (like the first Blue Beetle, Ghost Rider and the Guardian before him) assumed the role of costumed vigilante while off-duty. "[F]ramed for burglary by a villain called The Skull, [Burland] needed a cover to use while proving himself innocent," and adopted the role and costume of the Black Hood. "After clearing his name... he continued to use it because it enabled him to avoid all those entangling legal restrictions imposed on policemen in the pursuit of justice." Beyond comics Popular from the start ("upstaging The Wizard, Top-Notch's first star" early on), the Black Hood also featured in Jackpot Comics,but was notable for being "one of the few comic book characters ever to star in his own pulp magazine." Black Hood Detective began in 1941, and featured work from future Batman-artist Dick Sprang, among others. With its second issue, Black Hood Detective was renamed Hooded Detective, and the magazine provided the adventures of the Black Hood in illustrated prose, rather than comics form. The Black Hood also briefly featured in a radio show "[f]or a few months in 1943." Other Hoods —Preceding unsigned comment added by Archiveangel (talk • contribs) 14:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Infobox image
In no way, shape or form should the minor, 2015 version of the character go in the infobox, the guidelines for which specify the most longstanding and usual version of the character. Having the most recent version smacks of promotion. Do not revert to the most recent version without discussion here, as per WP:BRD and WikiProject:Comics guidelines.--Tenebrae (talk) 13:33, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
