Not even Superman and Batman can always save the day.

This was Byrne's last mostly great work imo. It's also one of the first things I remember reading so I might be biased. And yes, I'm old enough to post here.

Also, I mostly hate Byrne inking and lettering his comics but it works here for some reason. Or maybe my bias is showing again.

G3 is where his inks get really sloppy.

>>93864538
Yeah but I hate his Wonder Woman art which, if I'm not mistaken, is the exact same "team" doing it.

Now that I think about it, I like this "run" better than Byrne's actual Superman run. Also [legit spoilers]are you storytiming the Captain America team up?

I want to read about Joker's misadventures in the gulags.

>>93863748
That anon is right; Batman/Cap opens with "January, 1945". The epilogue also takes place in 1965

There was also a short Batman story Byrne did for Batman: Black and White that he says takes place in 1947. It's just a Batman and Robin story (that doesn't play a role in the larger story with Ultra-Humanite and all that, but is part of the Generations universe.

I also think the Byrne Doom Patrol segment where then-modern day Cliff ends up in the Generations universe in 1965 may count as well.

I actually have a chronological folder consisting of G1, G2, the Batman B&W story, Batman/Cap, the Doom Patrol segment, and the 2008 part of G3 cause I was storytiming it about three years ago. I just didn't put the 1929 story first even though I probably should've.

It is the same team as his Wonder Woman; he penciled, inked, and lettered both series. Trish Mulvihill colored both. I think it might be that he enjoyed working on Generations a lot more, and it was only in limited series form. Also if I remember right at the time he worked on Wonder Woman he also did the Darkseid/Galactus crossover in 1995, the Batman/Cap crossover in 1996, wrote Jack Kirby's Fourth World (and the Genesis event) in 1997. If I remember right Genesis was the only comic where he was writing and not doing the art. Everything else I mentioned he wrote, penciled, inked, and lettered.

Around the time Generations was out he was doing stuff for Marvel, I think he only inked his Spider-Man Chapter One up to a certain point. Byrne was also only penciling (and sometimes co-plotting with Howard Mackie) on Amazing Spider-Man, writing and penciling on X-Men Hidden Years, and just writing Spider-Woman and Hulk. So it might just be a reduced workload artwise?

I started with the 1939 story first and decided to keep the 1929 story with the 2919 story, so I also decided to keep the 2019/2020 story chronologically as a 2019 story. I forgot exactly why but I think it was just because the framing sequence was in the future so to me storywise they're reminiscing. On top of that I felt like starting with the 1939 chapter would get right to the point faster.

This is the closest he's come to referencing the Batman/Captain America crossover, since last we saw Joker in 1945 he and Red Skull were appearing to fall to their doom with an a-bomb. Obviously they survived and Red Skull took Joker prisoner.

The RPG worldbuilder in me wants to explore the possibilities presented by Cap's presence ina DC universe.

Bump. You still alive OP?

>>93865799
Honestly I think it'd be interesting. I like the weird twist to this universe in that most DC heroes debut the year they debuted in comics, and Captain America exists there.

Byrne was going to do a JSA/Invaders crossover after the Batman/Captain America crossover but things didn't work out. He did start up a page (for fun) sometime in the 2000's where Luthor and Baron Zemo have strapped Superman onto a rocket, presumably with Kryptonite chains or something, and Bucky was obviously going to sacrifice himself to get Superman off the rocket. I'm assuming this takes place in 1945 after the Batman/Cap crossover because that'd be when Bucky died and Steve Rogers was frozen in ice.

I don't know if Byrne would've done a Generations-type series for Marvel that could've secretly tied in with the DC one, but we probably won't know because he burned his bridges with Marvel long ago.

>>93865955
Yeah, but my internet is giving me trouble.

>>93862234

Joel meets Jon when?

>>93867316
the line about Dick becoming a lawyer in New York combined with at least a couple Marvel characters existing in Earth-38 lead to one of the more interesting theories I've heard; that Dick became an Earth-38 version of Daredevil in the years between him retiring as Robin and him becoming the second Batman

Going to take a break here.
There will be another thread for the rest of the story (it's too big to dump all in one thread and I hate doing really tiny storytimes).

Thanks for reading.

Bullshit!

Joel was a true American hero

>F

This book is a lot of silly fun, but it's main charm is the fact that we are seeing the heroes age in real time.

The twist with Ultra-humanite in the end was stupid though.

And the epilogue is 100% Byrne fan wank.

thks for posting op

>>93869030
Once Byrne goes full fan fiction. I'm like meh. But in the end is a Bruce/Clark story.

>>93868708
It's an interesting one but I don't know if they'd go for it. The theory wasn't so much for Generations but for that Wold Newton timeline idea that a lot of fans had (where it incorporated a lot of stuff from literature, pulps, film, tv, comics, etc).

Basically it was a timeline where things like the Thor/Conan issue of What If, the Batman/Cap crossover by Byrne, the Shang-Chi stuff by Doug Moench, the Dave Stevens Rocketeer stuff, the Batman/Tarzan story, all happened. And a lot of fans came up with crazy elaborate theories to expand on that timeline. I think some made it (like the idea of Plastic Man being Elongated Man's father) but others like Dick Grayson becoming Daredevil didn't get supported since they incorporated in the Batman/Daredevil crossovers into the timeline.

>>93869213
Where can I read about this timeline?

>>93862234

>John Byrne.
My fucking sides.

>>93869213
I'm aware of Wold Newton, and really there's dozens of variation of it floating around the internet since different people have different ideas of how supernatural things should be or what mediums are acceptable to include, ranging from trying to keep it purely to old literature and pulps with no actual supernatural elements, to extremely gonzo out there stuff like having Crisis On Infinite Earths,
Kingdom Hearts, and Gurren Lagann all happening simultaneously

>>93869357
the Wold Newton Universe is scattered between several different books, and dozens of websites(many of which only exist as archived pages these days), so it's kinda hard to keep straight, especially since a lot of it is conflicting in nature(for example Tarzan Alive suggested that The Shadow and The Spider were actually the same person, while Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life changed it so they're cousins)

>>93869357
An early version of it is here (there was stuff that isn't on the site but got added to the books in 2010, like the Thor/Conan crossover, or got taken out of the timeline, like the Godzilla At World's End novel):

http://www.pjfarmer.com/woldnewton/WNUsitemap.htm

It started out by using Philip Jose Farmer's Wold Newton family tree as a launching point, then fans made up their own timeline by adding stories that crossovered by association (or by subtle means). So for instance, Doc Savage, Tarzan, Sherlock Holmes, and The Shadow are on the family tree. So that brings in the Rocketeer because characters that were hinted at being Doc Savage and The Shadow appeared in it. There was a Green Hornet story where there were characters implied to be The Shadow, Captain America, and Superman in it, so it gets in through the Shadow connection and brings Cap and Superman in. Since Cap is in, that brings in Batman/Captain America and brings in the idea that Dick Grayson took over as Batman in the 60's and in turn the 60's Batman/Green Hornet crossover (Now Comics version of Green Hornet also established the 60's TV Green Hornet is the descendent of the 30's radio show version). While the timeline uses Batman/Captain America (and at one point, the 1939 chapter of Generations), it ignores the rest of Byrne's Generations. For this crossover timeline, Dick doesn't die in 1969, for instance, and Bruce Jr doesn't become Batman till the 80's.

It doesn't mesh up 100% and there's rules on the timeline (for instance you have to imagine that the comics exaggerate the actual events, and superheroes are generally powered down like Superman's powers would be like the lower side of Golden Age level, and there are little to no superhero teams, other than the Fantastic Four and briefly the Invaders) but it's worth getting ideas from.

>>93869644
Forgot to mention, the other reason the Bat/Cap crossover got included in the fan timeline is that there was also a Batman/Tarzan crossover that took place in 1939. Since Bat/Cap was about a Golden Age Batman, it got included in. The Batman/Shadow crossovers from the 70's got placed in, but they placed it in the 50's on the timeline instead of the 70's so that it'd be the Bruce Wayne Batman.

honestly I've always felt it best to ignore those "rules" since they always felt kinda arbitrary and limiting in a bad way

>>93870021
It seems limiting and doesn't tap into the full potential sometimes, but I get why they set up the rules they did (if you've got too many superheroes and supervillains running around like a regular DC or Marvel universe, then you end up with something like Ashley G. Williams in AoD vs Marvel Zombies, who he never got the Evil Dead adventures Ashley J. Williams did because the superheroes dealt with everything) and there could potentially be an interesting challenge in conceiving a world where they have superheroes but their superpowers are capped off at early 1940's Superman level.

well I meant mostly in terms of limiting which heroes to include, I'm fine with lowering the average power level, and I like the idea of Superheroes mostly operating in secret

>>93870306
They limit but they kind of gradually added in a few more since that site's timeline was last updated. The 2010 books added Alan Scott (because the Secret Origins retelling included a reference to Terry and the Pirates) and Iron Man (because of the Frankenstein issues and that one issue with a Fu Manchu cameo) and maybe Jay Garrick (he was in the opening teaser to the "Trials of the Demon" episode on Brave and the Bold) to the timeline. And after that the Golden Age Hawkman got included because there was a story where he meets a detective who's implied to be Sherlock Holmes.

You don't find thousand year old men kissing 12 year old girls perfectly normal? What are you doing on /co/ ?

>>93863949
It's funny because Byrne deliberately put "An Imaginary Story" on the cover because to him Generations is one of the Imaginary Stories instead of simply another Earth.
