Talk:What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?

Should this be here?
Wikipedia is really not in the habit of having entries on individual comicbooks. Elijya 16:38, 20 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It could easily be merged into the entry on The Elite which reproduces the informaiton on here (and more) and makes more sense to have the information on there than on a page about an individual comic (Emperor 17:57, 7 July 2006 (UTC))

It's just any "individual comicbook". It's a pretty damn good one-shot that criticizes The Authority, and, at the same time, stablishes Superman's values in a age where to be cool, a superhero must be violent.

It's not a "individual comicbook". It's a story. A good one. Just like any book. FlavioTerceiro 02:56, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * But the article should make clear why this issue deserves it's own article - why not include under Action Comics ? -- Beardo 17:39, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Superman775 big.jpg
Image:Superman775 big.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Which principles?
I am unfamiliar with this comic series or with "The Authority." I can't tell from this article whether "The Authority" presented the jaded superheroes as good or bad. If it is relevant that "What's So Funny" rejects principles presented by Ellis and Miller, then it might be worth our while to say what those principles were. 67.81.69.0 (talk) 20:39, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I've changed the text slightly here, so it now reads "The story was largely conceived as a response towards the popularity of the Wildstorm Comics series The Authority, a deliberately provocative work that explored the moral responsibilties of human beings powerful enough to overturn tyrannical regimes single handed, and which became incredibly popular and influential within the comic industry during its original 29 issue run." - As one of the themes of The Authority is moral ambiguity, I think this fits.

Animated film
The story will be turned in one of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies. See ComicBookMovie.com

ABOUT or BOUT?
Looking on the cover of Action Comics 775, it can clearly be seen that the title is What's so Funny 'Bout Truth, Justice, and the American Way? However, the article uses "about" rather than the abbreviated "'bout". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.193.201.41 (talk) 00:25, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
