I see the Awesomeness.
Shouldn't we have a cover on the Film.Star Trek page? And isn't it still JAFAAC? Or is that famous enough?
Fight smart, not fair.

I think the image on the Star Trek page was put up before all of the Star Trek films got covers on their pages, but someone just used it for Continuity Reboot instead. It still has the major problem of JAFAAC.
It can only be called fate. That here. I would again gather the three with the crests. That I should lay my hand on that which grants the wishes of the beholder. That when power, wisdom, and courage come together, the gods would have no choice but to come down.

◊ how about one of these for one of the pages?
Lord of Darkness
I'm not really looking to change the picture on the Star Trek page, just the one on Continuity Reboot. I perused through the Star Trek film pages, and saw that several of them had screencaps from the film as the page image instead of a poster or cover, so I think it can stay on that page. Would it be all right to remove it from Continuity Reboot?

How bout a comparison: take two images and display them side by side. One from pre-reboot, one from post-reboot. For example, show posters, screencaps, whatever from Batman Forever and Batman Begins.

Hi
How's this?
^ Add in Adam West Batman before Schumacher Batman, and then change the caption to "From Hero To Zero To Hero". It'll drive the point home better that the series was killed off and then successfully rebooted.

I like the addition of Adam West, too. For Clooney, is there a pic with more obvious bat-nipples? We should emphasize the absolute horror that necessitated a reboot.
Hi
That was the first best B&R pic I came across. I'll try to work on this tonight, but if someone else wants to take a crack at it, be my guest.
Hi
How's this?
I suppose the pics could be stacked, but I'm not fond of that look.

I like it this way. Stacking the pics would make it too tall.

This works perfect. If there was some way to enlarge the image just a little bit, then it'd be perfect. but that's just me.
I think we have our new image. Just make sure you add a link to each appropriate series in the caption.

^ The forums scaled it smaller than the actual page currently its 356px × 177px (scaled to 300px × 149px) and it will be scaled to 350px x ____

While I don't want to pass up an opportunity to mock the nippled bat-suit, I don't think it that appears that stylisticly different from Nolan's Batman. I'm not sold on this combo either, but here is a West/Keaton comparison as an alternative.
^ Style isn't the point though. Batman And Robin effectively killed off the Batman movies for over a decade. The Dark Knight successfully rebooted the movie franchise.

^ While that's true, the design of the costumes are too similar to be obviously parts of a different continuity. If you use the Adam West image, it's blatantly obvious that the continuity has been rebooted.
The "Batman and Robin" vs "Batman Begins" is a better example of the trope, but "Adam West Batman" vs "Keaton Batman" makes a better picture.

Then why not just Adam West Batman next to Christian Bale Batman to make it the most current?
Existence Weighed Against Nonbeing
Mainly for the sake of accuracy; the Adam West Batman wasn't rebooted into the Nolan one. And in all honesty, in the above West/Keaton picture I actually didn't realize that it wasn't the Nolan Batman until I actually read the post.

Hi
I could see a transition from West to Keaton to Bale, if we're purely talking new continuities, but at the same time, going from Batnips to Nolan!Bats highlights the reason for the reboot in the first place, which is what the trope is all about; that's why I went with the neon suit vs. the TDK suit in the first iteration and the "zero to hero" caption.

I'm not against contrasting Schumacher's Batman with Nolan's, but even the silver and blue suit doesn't communicate what a big difference there is in the atmosphere of each director's Gotham.
The big problem with any Batman image, I just noticed, is that Batman is used for Alternate Continuity's page image. It doesn't help distinguish the two tropes from each other if they use the same example.
Hi
The pic on Alternate Continuity is fine; it sums up the trope perfectly.
As far as a contrast in styles, per the suggestion in the last post, there's always this

I prefer Willbyr's image of the three.

Hi
Giving this a bump. Any objections to using one of the pics I made, or does anyone have another idea?
The picture is the exact same one used on the StarTrek page and isn't demonstrative of the trope at all. I vote that because this trope can't really be conveyed through images, we keep it image-less.
