Disney to buy WB and DC Comics? Sounds like an Elseworlds, but not so much!

Laws do not apply to wealthy as much as they do to the less fortunate.

in fact antitrust laws are often applied against the rich, for example these laws prevented google from buying twich

Well, to continue on the less-fun aspect, the business/legal speculation... wouldn't owning DC *and* Marvel mean Disney controlled roughly 75% of the comics market? I wonder if "comic books" would be considered a discreet medium such that that would trigger anti-trust concerns. The law certainly wouldn't allow one corporation to control 75% of the country's TV or radio or newspaper market.

But Marvel has about 50% of the market already, don't they? And that doesn't seem to be attracting any scrutiny.

Disclaimer 1: IANAL.

Disclaimer 2: All numbers are sourced from my butt, based on on hazy memories of stuff I read a few years ago.

Favorite post.

Would welcome it mostly for the WW/Moana and WW/Black Panther potential crossovers.
