The Question has amazing solo comics and his role on Justice League Unlimited convinced me to actually read his comics. Jeffrey Combs is such a fine actor and he did an amazing job as voice actor for The Question. As far as I am concerned, his voice acting did for Question what Kevin Conroy's did for Batman. Both made their characters memorable.

Doesn't question have a relationship with Huntress in Justice League Unlimited.

The thing about the DCAU version of The Question that made him totally rock was his voice actor was the great Jeffrey Combs. 👍

I love the justice league unlimited version of The Question. I hope the comics drop the Rene Montoya version and the metaphysical angles and story line. The hub city anchor and objectivism with a detective's intellect that rivals Batmans. The question's conspiratorial skepticism and different way to see who is the one pulling the strings along with his objectiveness make him a fresh personality and an interesting read. I love him and my Son and I are 2 people that find him to be their favorite.

I would really like to see the Question, Crimson Avenger, and Huntress have their own series, animation or movie

If you're wondering why Vic Sage and Huntress were romantic in Justice League Unlimited, I would suggest reading Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood. While this is more of a Huntress story line, Vic feelings towards Huntress also serves as a reminder of what he use to be and why she needs saving as well. Focus and Resourcefulness towards life and crime.

When I see characters like The Question, it always reminds me of older pulp comics characters like The Shadow and The Phantom. Any possibility of doing episodes on them?

Alan Moore was originally going to use The Question and those other Charlton characters in the watchmen story but when DC found out the finality of the story and what he was going to do the characters they got cold feet so Moore had to create new characters based on the Charlton ones

There's a fun two-issue run where Vic is reading Watchmen and tries to handle things the way Rorschach would. It does not go well.

I definitely became a question fan only because the unlimited show.

I've wanted to make a Jim Gordon tv show for a while now, set after Batman's first kill. They don't talk anymore and so Jim hires The Question as a P.I. for a job. This speech that Batman has with The Question in this video is PERFECT for this show. Just ties in greatly, showing how much he regrets the action he took.

Yes! The Question! One of the most underrated and under utilized heroes in DC! Thank you for this!!!

I loved him in all his animated series “cameos”

This is the video I've been waiting for!

History of! These are always some of my favorite videos, thank you for bringing these to the community.

Considering its a comic universe i thought he was naturally or permanently faceless. I found it more interesting how a mysterious faceless man knew so many corrupt secrets. But oh well, atleast him and Huntress are a thing in JLU and i aint complaining :D

You must have read my mind! I was thinking about the Question last night and here we are! I first saw him on The Justice League animated series and i thought he was awesome! Now i can't wait to get my hands on the comics! Thanks brother. I love your videos. Stay safe.

I'm digging this background.

Aweomse "deep cut" with the Question! I'd love one of all of the Trenchcoat Bridgade

The Question has been one of my favorite characters and now as I grow up, it’s kind of crazy seeing the similarities and how “normal” he kind of is. The cynic and conspiracal mind that he had, him being a detective, always digging deeper, quite reminds me of myself and my love of politics. The hole always gets deeper and you can tell The Question was getting close to the end, something that I’m fearful of 🤔

I really grew to love Montoya as a character after reading Gotham Central and 52. DC was able to translate her from a minor character created for a cartoon into a complex, strong, and proudly gay police officer and superhero. While I will always prefer Vic Sage’s Question because I grew up with JLU and read my Dad’s copies of his old solo series (They’re very good!), I do think she is a worthy successor. I hate how Vic is underused even though he’s alive in the Rebirth. If DC does make a Question movie or TV series I hope they have both versions in it to please both sides of the fandom, don’t kill off Vic like they did in the comics, and give the duo a relationship like Sherlock and Watson or Mulder and Scully. The Question was supposed to appear in the Arrowverse at some point, but DC took the rights back for their movie universe or something. Nothing has been announced so far. 😤

Still, I liked Renee's version simply because she always had a lot of issues to work out, and being The Question helps her do so. Did you see The Other History of the DC Universe?
