Canon Immigrant: Difference between revisions

** The Batmobile has had its famous jet exhaust since the 60s series added it.

** The 1960s live action series and the DCAU version first invented and then popularized respectively Riddler's green and question marked bowler hat and business suit to the point where the comics version is now only rarely seen in the jumpsuit.

* Batman's [[Retroactive Legacy|childhood friendship]] with [[Zatanna]] was a concept introduced in the 90's ''Batman'' show. It was only after ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' that [[Paul Dini]] (who first introduced the idea in the cartoon) made it canon in the comics.

* Lau, the Hong Kong banker from ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' film, made a brief appearance in an issue of ''Red Robin''.

** Additionally, Static later adopted the second costume he wore in the TV series when he joined the Teen Titans.

* In her first appearance in the DCU following the controversial DC reboot, Miss Martian is shown wearing her stealth outfit created for ''[[Young Justice (animation)|Young Justice]]''.

* The sentient space cruiser Aya was introduced in the ''[[Green Lantern]]'' comics just prior to the ''[[New 52]]''. Aya was created by [[Bruce Timm]] for ''[[Green Lantern the Animated Series|Green Lantern: The Animated Series]]'', but like Batgirl and Aqualad, appeared in the comics first.

* Persephone, one of the Amazons from the ''[[Wonder Woman (animation)|Wonder Woman]]'' animated movie, appeared in several issues of [[Gail Simone]]'s ''[[Wonder Woman]]'' run. This was likely due to Simone having written an early draft of the film's script.

== Anime ==

* ''[[El-Hazard: The Magnificent World|El Hazard]]'' featured a goofy and silly version of the "ultimate weapon android" Ifurita, as opposed to the far more serious and angsty Ifurita from the original [[OAV]] continuity. However, her popularity led to her being written into the latter continuity via the Radio Dramas, where her name was changed to "Ifurina."

** Unfortunately for western fans, his games were on the [[Wonder Swan]], a handheld that was [[No Export for You|never released outside Asia.]] The first of these games got an English translation for Hong Kong, but the translation sucked. When he did turn up in ''Tamers'', there was naturally massive confusion, as without the games to explain his backstory, he seemed to make absolutely no sense as a character. Interestingly enough, he's a ''different'' kind of [[Canon Immigrant]], his games are canon to the [[Digimon Adventure]] universe, he cameoed in ''Our War Game'', and then twice in [[Digimon Adventure 02]], and is a vital part of Ken's backstory. He moved to the ''Tamers'' universe after ZeedMilleniummon's final defeat, effectively immigrating from one universe to another.

* ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'' imported everything ''but'' characters from the anime after it [[Overtook the Manga]]. The girls originally didn't use transformation phrases, for one...

* [[Konami]] decided to link their popular ''[[Castlevania]]'' series to the famous Bram Stoker novel ''[[Dracula (novel)|Dracula]]'', so when they designed ''[[Castlevania Bloodlines]]'', instead of starring a Belmont, it featured a member of a related branch family who had emigrated to America -- the Morrises. John Morris (the member in question) is the son of the novel's Quincey Morris.

* In the ''[[F.E.A.R.]]'' series, Michael Becket first appeared in ''Perseus Mandate'', which is not part of Monolith's canon, but became the main character of ''Project Origin''.

* Quite a few things that have originated in ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'' have found their way into its originating franchises:

** Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw makes an appearance] in the ''[[F-Zero]]: GP Legend'' anime.
