Yes, but it would take a lot of brainstorm from both sides, also copyrights issues.
Never Ever, both bridges were burned and Some doesn't even want it to happen again.
I read it earlier this year, and I kind of want to go through it again.
For me at least, I’d like to see a different crossover handled differently. Maybe make it a six issue event with one shot tie-ins to further develop diferent aspects and allow other creators to get on board

Ha absolutely! It just works on a lot of levels. And thank you for clarifying the origins of the line!
Speaking of Hawkeye, I really liked his pairing with Green Arrow. It's obvious I know, but the execution of it was well done. The best archers on their teams who are mirror images of one another who both could be hot-headed and brash meet:
As I read it now, yeah, I think this is exactly how a meeting between Clint and Ollie would be. Who's the better archer with Black Canary rolling her eyes. Having Black Widow there would have been cool too, but it still works. Also, there's an innocence in that meeting. Yes, Clint and Ollie are puffing their chests, but it's not invective or hurtful. At the end of the day, there's a respect between the two which would pay off in issue four.
"I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."
Been rereading some other scenes. I'm beginning to see dichotimies I hadn't realized before. Take the scene where Cap and Batman discuss plans in the Batcave:
There are great parallels in this scene. There's Cap remarking how Batman lost a partner (ironically, both Bucky and Jason would come back within the next couple of years after the series). But I find a new appreciation for Thing's appearance. Yep, it's the Thing in the Batcave. And we see him display that Yancy St. wit as he calls Batman's penny "small change."
However, I see some of the deeper meanings. The Fantastic Four's exploratory, bright, and sci-fi world, established by legends like Lee, Kirby, and Bryne meets with Batman's dark and broody world, established by legends like O'Neil and Adams. This scene has all of that going on in it.
"I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."
I am in support of a newly published tabloid size reproduction of the mini.
^^^Okay, the poll question is “It would be possible to repeat it again, thus Part 2?” With, I’m thinking, the first two words in the wrong order.
So would it be possible to repeat it again?
Technically, yes, but w. a caveat:
Busiek and Perez did something really special w. that book, and I don’t feel a sequel would/could recapture that.
The superhero landscape is completely different now than it was 20 years ago.
The fans are different in what they find acceptable, what they think they’re supposed to like.
George Perez is gone.
So yeah, a sequel could be made, and it’d sell.
But, that series was lightning in a bottle. Just leave it alone.
If another crossover was done, it should be DC vs Marvel 2, not JLAvengers 2. Include the other teams and not just the Justice League and Avengers. Titans vs New Warriors, Young Justice vs Champions. JSA vs Invaders, Suicide Squad vs Thunderbolts. Legion of Super-Heroes vs X-Men.

I want to see Jed Mackay and Greg Rucka do Moon Knight/The Question.
ETA: Or maybe Moon Knight/Hellblazer?

I'm not voting because I really don't have a horse in this race. The glory days for both teams are in the past. Maybe I'd support a team-up that took place in the past, but am not interested in either team these days.
