A new theme week proposal - "One Perfect Moment"
Insipired by [info]proteus_lives post here, may I proposes a new theme week for scans_daily 2.0

"ONE PERFECT MOMENT"

A celebration of those moments which just define a character.

Here's your chance to post the scene which, to you, summarises what makes a particular character work!

Here are my suggested guidelines.

  • It could be a single panel, it could be a scene, but the emphasis should be on "moment", so let's say.... two pages absolute maximum, and they have to be from the same issue of a title.

  • No fanfic, it has to be canon from a published title. (Sadly that precludes the Black Cat's output :( )

  • It can be a hero, villain, supporting character or whatever. They've all had magnificent moments.

  • And it doesn't have to be from superhero comics of course, the perfect Little Nemo moment, the scene with the Cryptkeeper which gave you PROPER nightmares, the Bash Street Kids summarised in a single panel, or whatever.

  • And of course, we can have multiple moments for the same character.



For the original Dynamic Duo (as opposed to Bruce or Dick in isolation); from the Infinitie Crisis series, as Batman, worried that he's losing his mind thanks to paranoia and everything unravelling around him, reaching out to the son he uses as a benchmark for whether a world is worthwhile. And the son reassuring the father that he knows better than anyone else does, that he HAD done everything he could, and had done it well.



Likewise here's a sample for the same notion in the DCAU



What more do you need than that single panel?

And there's a suitable video to exemplify the concept;

Ooh, I've got an idea or two for a Jaime Reyes defining moment post...

Good luck narrowing down the field on THAT one! :)

Well, as I read your proposal, it's what we each think is a character's defining moment. So if someone has another idea, they can post their own for the same character.

Which only makes sense, considering how many "defining moments" say, Batman or Superman can have had over the last 50-60 years...

Oh indeed, limiting it to one per character would be silly, and comparing and contrasting what makes different people consider something a perfect moment should be interesting in and of itself.

Well, Brenda and Paco's seem to be pretty obviously "big stick" moment. I agree Jaime's would be a lot harder though.

Oh Kosh, you ridiculous alien freak.

You know, I think you've actually managed to capture two perfect moments here. One, of course, is a defining image of Dick Grayson, but the other is the defining divide between the DCU and the DCAU. Same concept, same character; in the DCU it takes a whole page, and gets in deep and draws on years of important history and canon, while in the DCAU, it takes a panel and is all about things implied and streamlined and stripped down to the core.

Dammit! I wanted a Black Canary week! But this sounds good.

Well, you could post a Perfect Moment for Dinah as a precursor! :)

Dammit, I already posted what I would consider one of Black Canary's defining moment.

May we do more than one?

Sure! We all have more than one character we like, I presume... and we may have more than one perfect moment for them. I'd encourage diversity though.

Well. CRAP. :(

I was going to make a contribution to porn week after my family stops bugging me to do stuff around the house I have no interest in. So much for that...

It's never too late for porn, though I confess I didn't post anything for the week, as I generally don't DO "porn"... "suggestive" sure, "kink" heavens yes, but "porn", not so much.

Eh. I won't be able to upload the story, it seems that the web host I use doesn't like Insanejournal.

I'll still see what I can find for this themed week, though.

Awesome.

This week will be fun!

I have one perfect moment set-up to scan right now. I think your SG are great because we should focus on the moment but this one is going to be slightly more then 2 pages. Trust me, it's worth it!

I also need to watch more Babylon 5.

For most of the DC characters, I expect to see a LOT of the DCAU.

I love you. Yet I hate you because now I will procrastinate and not read up on the lives of 18th century peasants, instead I will be here. Our relationship is a passionate one.

Awww! There's been so many of these I've missed, like, half of them. This one I had to comment on when I found it. (((Them)))
