Wildstorm in the DC universe

[Captain Britain of Earth 20]

The Wildstorm characters that DC used in the 52 era,can they still be used in the DCU?

[Carabas]

Of course they can. DC owns Wildstorm lock stock and barrel.

[Thor-Ul]

yeah,they can be used,but i wonderunderwhcich circunstances they could approach the characters. As part of the multiverse? In their own series? TV? Animation? Iwonder if jim Lee is considering using Bendis in a potential adaptation. After all the deal include media adaptations, right?

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

I think they can be used in the DCU but they might not have incentive to because the books didn't sell etc. So they are probably more invested in keeping Wildstorm on a seperate earth again which lead to Warren Ellis's the Wild Storm line.

The Wildstorm occurring in an universe of its own doesn't preclude the possibility of Wildstorm characters existing on Prime Earth still. In fact, I believe Midnighter and Apollo exist on Prime Earth. From a real world perspective, I think Wildstorm characters can work well in the main DCU if done right.

I haven't read the Wildstorm revamp yet, but it seems that there are DCU characters in that reality now. Without spoiling too much, are these just alternate versions of them?

pretty much.

I don't think the Wildstorm characters really ever fit in the main DCU anyway so it is better if they are just on their own Earth. They tried so many different ways to slide them into the DCU and it just didn't work for me. I don't think any of them have been used since Rebirth started except in the Wildstorm book have they?

[SiegePerilous02]

I'd be all for more "classic" iterations of the Wildstorm characters showing up in the mainstream DCU, while Ellis's revamps take place on their own Earth. Since Dick Grayson has already interacted with some of them, I wouldn't mind some of them popping up in the Titans corner of the DCU. Midnighter should even join the team.

Midnighter showed up in the Rebirth one shot for Nightwing.

I don't see why not especially if DC has a great writer involved in the project IMHO, Grayson was the best example of how Wildstorm characters were used during the 52

Despite my reticence, I agree. We have mixed results with characters from other editorials who had blend with more or less success to the main DC lore. Thedifference is than theWildstorm universe development in severalyearsand had a lot of interesting concepts than worked by themselves.I'm ennjoying The Wild Storm but I would like to see again a more classic WS universe in DC and with the multiverse being infinite again, I don't think that as impossible.

I hate the current Wildstorm book. I'd just like a Grifter book.

Well, it's not exactly aimed at the "Classic Coke" fans.

[numberthirty]

As for that "Classic Coke" continuity and recent versions of it, Ellis has said that he sees the most recent versions of Midnighter and Apollo as out there in mainstream DC continuity.

[The Odd Man]

Midnighter showed up in the Rebirth one shot for Nightwing.

Prometheus mentioned him in Justice League Of America, referring to their previous battle too.
