Oh your post was totally clear. Sorry I was more explaining my own use of it earlier to clarify that Gaska decides canon in the "corporate" sense, not "single author vision of truth" sense in case I'd left that impression.When I said "canon" I was making reference to "Head Canon".....I figured that was implied
Thanks for that.There's this great Youtube Channel called Watchtower Database, that is exclusively devoted to making videos about the Timm-Dini DC Animated Universe, and they spend hours talking about canon. Like a good 75% of their content that I've seen is focused on whether this or that comic book series or tie-in product is canon, whether The BtAS is a different canon from JLA, trying to find canon explanations for stuff like the character design changes in the final season of Batman (the kind of stuff that you had to do to earn a Marvel No-Prize back in the day). I find it incredibly entertaining, myself. Like, good fan theories that can recontextualize a work and give you a fresh way to re view old favourites.
Back in the 19th century old Sherlock Holmes fans used to call working out canon, when that was new, "The Game".
