Are historical novels always accurate in their portrayal of history if they are fiction?

Not always. Historical fiction is a blend of fact and fiction. Some elements might be exaggerated or altered for dramatic effect. For instance, an author might make a battle seem more heroic or a character's role more prominent than it actually was in history. But that doesn't mean it's completely untrue to history. There is usually a core of historical accuracy that the fictional elements are built around.

Not always. Sometimes the Joker's character in various adaptations deviates from the comics to add a fresh take or suit the specific story.

The accuracy of the Joker in relation to the comics varies. Sometimes the look, personality, or actions might be changed to fit the specific tone or plot of the adaptation. But at its core, there are still recognizable elements from the comic version.

It varies. Sometimes the Joker in adaptations is very close to the comics, but other times there are noticeable differences.

The Lois Lane comic's portrayal was somewhat inconsistent. There were times when it was very accurate and true to the character, but there were also instances where it strayed from what fans expected. Maybe it was trying to offer a fresh take or adapt to different story arcs.

The Crown is not a pure and unadulterated true story. It uses the real - life framework of the British royal family's history. But it also uses creative license. For instance, the show might simplify complex political situations or personal relationships. The creators have to balance historical accuracy with the need to make an entertaining show. They might compress timelines or emphasize certain aspects of a character's personality more than was the case in reality.

I think Tom Holland's Spiderman is pretty close to the comics. His personality and the way he handles situations feel authentic.

The MCU's version of Iron Man is reasonably accurate to the comic. They've kept key elements like his intelligence, wit, and determination. Some minor changes were made to make it more engaging for a wider movie audience, but the spirit of the character is intact.

It depends. Sometimes the Joker is quite accurate, but in some adaptations, there are creative liberties taken.

It depends. Some aspects might be very accurate, while others could have taken some creative liberties.
