    Default Should Zealot and the Coda be related to the Amazons?

    With DC trying to integrate the WildStorm characters back in with the DC Prime Earth, should Wonder Wonan inspired Zealot, and her sisters in the Coda, be another tribe of Amazons, like Bana Mighdall, and Yara’s tribe?

    If anything...

    It would have worked the other way around with Zealot starting the "Planet Earth..." arm of The Coda as a lead in to The Amazons.

    That’s always an option as well. The Codas gods could be what became our Greek gods.

    I say no, but I can understand why people would disagree.

    No they should not. And I think DC has long since stopped trying to integrate WildStorm characters into the main universe.

    They’re starting another attempt, check out Tynion’s Batman. Grifter is there, and Halo was referenced. Lee’s trying to get his toys more play, and honestly I’m not opposed to it. But they need to put some thought into how it will work.

    Grifter is being used in Batman, and Midnighter is being used again.

    Where has Midnighter showed up?
    I really prefer the Wildstorm characters in their own universe.
    The whole point of the Authority was that they were a more pro active JLA, so having them co exist in the same universe with the JLA makes them pretty redundant, and weakens what you can do with them.

    I completely agree. Merging WS characters with the DCU more often than not will result in toning down the potential of the WS characters. Midnighter can't be the badass he usually is because DC will never allow him to be better than Bat-god.
    Same for The Authority vs JL, WW vs Zealot and so on.

    Hopefully they'll get moved back to their own separate universe with the next reboot, or whatever.
    What can they even do with an Authority title in a shared universe beyond an Authority vs JLA book? Because they'd never be allowed to reach their full potential in a shared universe.

    Future State Superman: Worlds at War, but before that Nightwing at the beginning of Rebirth.
