Does Black Panther need a "love interest"? Isn't he already married?
A world with no love would be such a sad place...

Yeah I know people were very skeptical on the ultimate universe returning but you can't deny the enthusiasm and sales it's bringing.
I know there's rumors of DC doing an Ultimate style universe, I wonder if the success of Marvel's will overshadow theirs or maybe it will help.
My hope is that it will help. The MCU initially brought a wave of enthusiasm for superhero movies in general which is how the DCEU made lots of money despite being of much lesser quality. Since “Ultimate DC” is going to be launching much later than this first wave of Ultimate Marvel, people might check it out out of a desire to get a similar “in” with DC.

This was my thought as well. The ultimate universe works because its the only alternative to 616, so let's say you don't like amazing spiderman, heres ultimate spiderman. If you don't like Zdarsky's batman, there's at least 5 other batman books you could read (both in and out of continuity) at any given time. How will the ultimate DC be different?
Ultimate Gwen is making her debut - and she’s married to Harry Osborn!
Because it would be a shared ongoing universe with multiple other books featuring new takes on characters who don’t have anything right now. Most of the current Elseworld books are Batman solos, or JL. They’re not telling an ongoing shared universe story. Plus it’s rumored to be Scott Snyder’s brainchild and he remains one of those creators who excites people. Fair to be skeptical but people were skeptical of Hickman’s Ultimate reboot too, no reason not to let Snyder try his hand at revamping the DCU. Plenty of people are not paying any attention to the current Elseworlds, DC’s sales are pretty weak right now. Scott Snyder coming back to do a new line of DC books would attract attention and hype just like Hickman.
No way will they be directly tying in but having a new line of books with no continuity in the hopes of attracting people interested in Gunn’s reboot is probably also a factor in why they might be doing this.
