If DC shrunk down to just 24 monthly titles

[Gaius]

Action Comics - Main Superman book with backup features for Super Family characters
Detective Comics - Same as above
World's Finest - Super and Bat family team-up book
Wonder Woman - Solo adventures book
Heroes Inc - Wonder Woman and X hero team up book
The Green Lanterns - Similar to Morrison's "season" approach on the current The Green Lantern only each Lantern character switches out each season. Annuals would be dedicated to the alien lanterns
The Flash - Flash family book, maybe similar to the above Green Lantern book, with a new Flash charater getting a focus each arc or "season".
Aquaman - Solo adventures book
The Brave and the Bold - Green Arrow/Black Canary and X hero team up book
Shazam: Earth's Mightiest Mortals - Shazam family book
Static Shock - Solo adventures book
Justice Society - Set on Earth 2 during the 30s and 40s with backup features in the modern day of that world
Legion of Superheroes - Team book
Black Lightning - Solo Adventures book
The Titans - Standard lineup I suppose, maybe move some of YJ characters here
Nightwing - Solo globe trotting adventures book for Dick Grayson. Not under the Bat-family books
Birds of Prey - I guess the movie lineup but chuck out Harley Quinn.
Blue Beetle - Jaime Reyes solo series
The Blue and the Gold - Booster Gold and Ted Kord Blue Beetle book
Books of Magic - Anthology series for DC's various magic characters.

Justice League wouldn't be an ongoing, it would be mini-series published each year that take the place of event books. Lineup would shift around a bit each time (mainly that whoever the Green Lantern or Flash is would change each year; Hal and Barry one year, Jon or Wally the next, etc, etc)

18. Challengers of the Unknown: (working title) With Booster Gold in the lead; a time travel book featuring characters and eras from across the DCU; Jonah Hex and the JSA and the Legion and everything in between.

I'd call this Legends of Tomorrow, because it's pretty much the same concept as the TV show.

Yeah, that makes sense. Nice call.

Titans: Lineup includes Nightwing, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Bumblebee, Wally West, Donna Troy, Kyle Rayner, Terra, Mal Duncan and Rose Wilson
Suicide Squad: Lineup includes Amanda Waller controlling Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Bronze Tiger, Captain Boomerang, Killer Frost and El Diablo. The rest of the lineup is made up of expendable villains
Doom Patrol: A bunch of “freaks” living in a mansion together and going on adventures, JLU style. Lineup includes The Chief, Robotman, Elasti-Woman, Crazy Jane, Negative Man, Flex Mentallo, Mento, Tempest (Joshua Clay), Lodestone, Celsius, Dorthy Spinner and Lotion the Cat

It’s so hard to dwindle it down to 24 titles. I’m still missing Young Justice, Legion of Superheroes, Justice League Dark, Birds of Prey and characters like Constantine, Atom and Booster Gold getting titles. Think I got the important ones, and gave a lineup that could both be successful and please fans. I like how diverse it came out!! 7 out of 19 solo titles star females and the 5 team titles all feature at least 3 women (some are practically even with the males in numbers). 6 of the 19 solo titles star POC (7 if you count the Shazam! Title with its focus on the Shazamily) and the team lineups all feature multiple POC, not just tokens (Titans being the most diverse unsurprisingly). I could have done better with LGBT representation but over half of the team titles (Doom Patrol, JSA and Suicide Squad) feature an LGBT rep.
