Line 1:
{{
== The Centre was either awakened or created by a time-traveling [[Charlton Comics|Peter Cannon]]. ==
The overall plot of ''The New Frontier'' could be seen as a [[Lighter and Softer]] version of ''[[Watchmen]]'''s: the public doesn't trust the heroes, the heroes and the government don't trust each other, and tensions build toward catastrophe until an alien attack saves everyone by forcing them to work together. Cannon is the original for whom Ozymandias in ''[[Watchmen]]'' was the [[Captain Ersatz]]; who's to say he's not playing the same role in this story?
== The Centre was created by [[Watchmen (comics)|Adrian Veidt]]. ==
It would stretch his character and the [[Reconstruction|theme]] less, and it would still be technically and legally possible (in copyright terms). What's more, with the Keene Act, there's a precedent for ''Watchmen'' elements showing up in other DC 'verses.
Line 9:
Because Batman will track them down regardless. He is, after all, the goddamn Batman.
== The ''New Frontier'' Universe was the original pre-[[Crisis
According to writer/artist Darwyn Cooke, the story is set in a "prime continuity" where the most of the heroes debuted when they were first published. This universe in which ''DC: The New Frontier'' takes place was the first and original universe, before Krona's experiment created the multiverse.
* Would that have been Earth-1, Earth-2, or Earth-4?
Line 32:
** Besides, in at least two alternate continuities, Billy Batson is black. So why not blonde?
** True. But this universe is supposed to follow the original continuity of the DC characters. Captain Marvel was seen with black hair. Though, Billy's CM form is suppose to resemble his dad, who has black hair.
*** In the original continuity, there was no Center, no in-universe beef against superheroes by the government, [[Martian Manhunter]] did not look like a grown-up [[
** In the ''original'' continuity CM wasn't even part of [[The DCU]]. Fawcett wasn't sold to DC until 1971, and their alternate universe wasn't made part of the mainstream DCU until [[Post
* Billy Batson appears in a scene from the book that was not adapted into the movie, but he still looks completely different from the kid the cultists had. Maybe he's "Hill Billy" of the Lieutenant Marvels?
** [[User:Tito Mosquito|I]] [[Fanon|believe it]].
Line 42:
== The Centre is a White Martian. ==
In [[The DCU]], currently at least, the White and Green martians were a single species that split. In ''New Frontier'', maybe the shapeless and telepathic life of Mars merged into a singular being, who was so powerful and dangerous that it was split by the Guardians or some other [[Powers That Be]]
== Captain Marvel is this universe's equivalent of Doctor Manhattan. ==
