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

[RealWonderman]

So, the could get interesting...I can’t tell if I love it. But Wonder Woman, Miss Piggy and Princess Leia all under one castle roof? Hm🤨I could love it.

There's no way that Disney will buy WB and DC comics because they already HAVE one incredibly profitable comic company. Also, is there a more official, reliable source for this?

[AmiMizuno]

Agreed. I don’t understand why they want to sell now

[LordUltimus]

Even the article you've linked to admit's it's all speculation. I'm waiting until someone actually has proof before freaking out.

[WonderScott]

It'll be intriguing to see what happens with the AT&T deal. And probably more intriguing if it falls through.

[Tec15]

I don't know what is dumber- Believing this nonsense to be true, or actually wanting it to be true.

[BlackClaw]

It ain’t gonna happen. Disney already makes a ton of money off of the properties they already own, not to mention having DC and Marvel under one roof would be a nightmare. Though I bet Shuri would be happy to not be the only Disney Princess that’s a superhero. Lol.

If they merge the universes oh yeah I'd be game. At this point, we could have Batman team up with Spider-Man to fight Alien Xenomorphs or Superman vs Darth Vader or Wonder Woman vs Red She-Hulk. Just think of the storytelling possibilities.

It would be a monopoly and would not happen.

[MarquisAsh]

I wouldn’t like it.

[RealWonderman]

Wow. I guess I’ve come t the place where fun dies. Jesus. Ha! It was supposed to be a fun speculative conversation. The article even says it’s speculation. Nobody is freaking out. Nobody is dumb. Nobody is stating fact. If you can’t play nice (or reasonably) then go play somewhere else.

So, why would Disney buy DC when they have Marvel? Gee. I can think of billion$ of rea$ons. Plus, Disney. Buys. Everything. Ask Marvel. Ask Star Wars. Ask Miss Piggy. Ask the XMen.

The fox deal hasn’t been approved by the government yet

And? What does that take away from my point that Disney wants to, and tries to buy everything? It’s what Disney does. Of course they would want to get their hands on the likes of Wonder Woman and Bugs Bunny if they could. I imagine there has been a scheming plot at Disney to make Diana a Disney Princess since last summer. Muahaha!! (kidding of course. It’s a shame I actually have to state that outright here.)

Also, owning two groups of superheroes doesn’t constitute a monopoly under any stretch of the law.

Owning DC and Marvel, the two largest and most well known comic companies in North America?

Yeah, there's a few other comic book companies out there, but in comparison, they're small beans. Having both pretty well would be a monopoly.

But just to us. Not under any law.
