Talk:Slam Bradley

Untitled
Biff Bradley apppeared in Guns of the Dragon, not Slam. Also, 'Tec#572 had Slam team up with Sherlock Holmes, Elongated Man, and the Batman.


 * Correct. Biff Bradley, Slam's brother, was substituted for Slam in Guns of the Dragon. The Toonopedia article, not surprisingly, got its information wrong. Also, I'm not entirely sure about the story of Detective Comics #572. While post-Crisis, its standing post-Zero Hour might be shaky. Then again, there is some sort of matter where Sherlock Holmes is still considered alive even today in the real world, as he never recieved an obtiuary in the Times, or something. Talk to a Holmes fan about it. If you feel like adding it, be bold! I've added in the information for the Guns of the Dragon.DoctorWorm7 06:31, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Should Biff have his own page?

Didn't Bradley appear in Detective Comics before Superman? Circa 1988 or something in an anniverary issue.

Bradley Jr.
I've added that the Bradley who appeared in Superman was supposed to be Slam Bradley Jr., with a link to www.dcuguide.com. I've not said that this character is the same as the Sam Jr who's Helena Kyle's father (although the linked entry does), because as far as I'm aware that's not been stated; it's possible Slam has two sons, one with his real name and one with his nickname.

I noticed an error, but I need to find the reference to correct it.
There is an entry that states:

The current incarnation of the character is a former police officer in his late 50s who has always worked in Gotham City, (contradicting the previous Cleveland, New York and Metropolis settings).

However Slam Bradley in modern continuity has stated on several occasions his work on the beat in other cities. And in Catwoman: Secret Files and Orgins (2002), it states that he is a New York native who has lived and worked as a detective in all sorts of cities. I need to find it to make sure though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Youth Counselor (talk • contribs) 13:08, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Can we find one that doesn't use such...stereotypical imagery? Lots42 (talk) 09:32, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The use of racist imagery in the early days of the strip is relevant to its history. The image used is also Slam Bradley's first appearance, so it's relevant on those grounds as well.&mdash; Chowbok  ☠  06:30, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
