Time Lord/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

=== Batman is a Time Lord. ===

This explains his ridiculous number of areas of expertise, his physical superiority (which cannot realistically be explained by "he works out"), his gadgetry, and his intellect. He frequently displays knowledge of meditation techniques similar to those used by The Doctor. He has been active in Gotham since the 1940's, with his regenerations being the reason his personality is so different from era to era. His appearance changes due to artistic reinterpretation are also because of this (though there is little appearance variation compared to the Doctor, it should be pointed out that not all Time Lords' regenerations vary as wildly as the Doctor's). Over the years, he has had the following regenerations:

* 1st: Gun-toting psycho vigilante. (1939)

* 2nd: Takes on Dick Grayson as companion, becomes more of a father figure, lightens up a bit and has more science-fictiony adventures. (1940-1963)

* 4th: Regenerates into the dark, Gothic horror-influenced Batman of [[The Seventies]].

* 5th: Grim Post-[[Frank Miller]] / [[Post-Crisis]] Batman.

 

Amongst timelords, he is known as The Bat, or possibly the Knight. Or maybe The Bachelor (after all, if we have a Doctor and a Master, there's only one degree level we're missing...). Robin, Alfred ''et al.'' are his companions; the Batcave, and possibly all of Wayne Manor, is his TARDIS.

** Maybe he's the [[Just for Pun|BATchelor]]?

* What about The Associate?

* Ra's al Ghul, himself a blatant candidate for Time Lord-hood (perhaps ''he's'' Batman's version of The Master?) refers to Batman as "The Detective". Perhaps that's his official Gallifreyan title...

 

** Yes, he was (Detective #64, "The Joker Walks the Last Mile"). Yes, he did (the same story)

* The Joker's regenerations are more markedly distinct than Batman's: Caesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Mark Hamill, and Heath Ledger are at least as different as The Doctor's different iterations.

 

(This theory is based solely on the fact that in one issue of ''[[Justice League of America|JLA: Classified]]'', a Dalek can be seen in the Batcave trophy room.)

** Does this make the Batman of Zurr-en-Arrh his version of the Valeyard?

*** Actually, he's the Dream Lord.

Submitted into evidence: [http://i.imgur.com/PyAp5.jpg visual proof Batman is indeed a Time Lord.]

 

=== Calvin is a Time Lord ===

* That would make the cardboard box his TARDIS. Also, the Doctor is mentioned to have been bad at a number of his classes on Gallifrey, and yet he is very knowledgeable when he goes on historical trips, so Calvin seeming [[Book Dumb]] isn't much of a stretch.

** Calvin isn't [[Book Dumb]]. He just finds the American school system a waste of his time. He'd rather read up on things like dinosaurs. Or he's hiding his intelligence so he doesn't get sussed out like Susan.

* Hobbes is his companion.

His TARDIS quickly became an inconspicuous cardboard box, but the object into which Calvin's time lord memories were locked, randomly chosen and hastily created, did not function without unexpected side affects. With Calvin's Time Lord memories and persona in such an easily manipulated form, a stuffed tiger, it quickly began to function as its own distinct consciousness, calling itself 'Hobbes' in reference to Calvin's true Time Lord title- The Philosopher.

 

=== Jason is a Time Lord ===

He was sent to Earth when the Time War turned sour, had his TARDIS taken away, his memories of being a Time Lord wiped and placed into the Fox Family, where a spell was put over to make everyone (inculding Jason) think he'd been there all along. His book smarts come from faint unwiped Time Lord memories where he'd go on trips in his TARDIS to historical events where he'd see them unwrapping before his eyes.

* Final regeneration: Cosmetically altered by the Cybermen.

 

The Garbage truck is his TARDIS.

=== Wally is a Timelord ===

He's a deserter from the Time War, who made a life for himself on Earth. He coped with the death of his people by perfecting not caring into an art form.

 

He refuses to let his name be given for the same reason every other Time Lord does. His TARDIS is his water tank.

 

=== Snoopy is a Time Lord ===

We've seen the inside of his doghouse, and it is larger on the inside than it is on the outside, just like a TARDIS. Snoopy's time as a WWI Flying Ace who fought The Red Baron - despite living in modern times - has been well documented. And, depending on how frequently he travels back and forth in time, it's likely that some of his personas (Joe Cool and the like) are other regenerations of his; he keeps coming back to check up on his old companions like The Brown Children, taking care to avoid the Blinovitch Limitation Effect.

 

== [[Sam and Max/WMG|Sam and Max]] ==

The DeSoto appears indestructible, and it takes them across America, to Germany, to the North Pole, and to the moon in seconds. It has been shown to be sentient on a few occasions. It even has a soul.

* But if that were true, then why were Sam and Max stranded when their past selves stole the time elevator? They should have been able to use the DeSoto to go after them rather than reliving the last year and a half. Also, would they let Sybil and Abe take a demoniacally possessed ''time machine'' on their honeymoon? (Okay, Max would; but Sam might have done something).

* He was exiled from Gallifrey because of his erratic, homicidal nature, so he went to Earth, used a Chameleon Arch [[Cloudcuckoolander|made out of duct tape, paper clips, pancreas, and Play-Doh]], and stored his Time Lord persona in a fob watch. As a human, he became a mercenary, but he eventually developed cancer. When he allowed the Weapon X program to experiment on him and change his DNA, he saw his Time Lord memories, but he still had a human brain and body, so he went completely insane. He has [[No Fourth Wall]] because he saw the truth about himself. All of his weapons can be put together to be his TARDIS, but he hasn't discovered that yet.

 

=== Superman is a Time Lord ===

After he died in the fight with Doomsday, he regenerated into a form almost exactly like his first one. His third regeneration resulted in Superman Blue, and a fourth returned him to the status quo. It's a stretch, but we've [[Running Gag|got to fit this one in here somehow]].

* If one ignores the in-universe "multiverse" excuse, one could easily see "Golden Age" Superman, "Silver Age" Superman, "Bronze Age" Superman, and so on as completely different versions of the same person - essentially making each a different incarnation which ultimately regenerates into his successor.

 

=== <s>Dr. Manhattan is a Time Lord.</s> ===

 

== [[WMG/Frank Miller|Frank Miller]] ==

And whores are his TARDIS.
