Build Your Own DC Universe

[stephens2177]

For generations, I would put Flash and Wally at about the same age. Wally can be in the Titans. The Young Justice can have Kidflash Bart Allen. I would use the more popular Damian Wayne over Tim Drake for Teen Titans. For a Young Justice, it can be Damian, Bart Allen and Superboy.

Yuck,the YJ4 belong together

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

I wanted do something like JL Gods and Monsters but that could lose appeal really fast so I would have the next generation (i.e Dick's generation) take over from their mentors and lets starting moving forward.

For a New Frontier type of continuity where the 1938 Superman is immortal, that can be used for the multiverse earth 2. For a multiverse, can have earth 2 with immortal golden agers, earth 3 with evil versions, earth with Justice League composed of Titans for a legacy earth, earth where the Justice Society is made up of legacies, etc.

I do think there's potential in *really* digging into the multiverse and publishing a large number of titles on different worlds. You'd have to make sure you didn't overlap much; keep the number of doppelgangers to an absolute minimum (in my opinion, 2 Supermen, Wonder Women, Batmen, Flashes and Lanterns and no more) and avoid building similar worlds and themes, but it'd be fun as hell to have a dozen titles set on the current world, ten on JSA/Bombshell mashup Earth-2, Thunderworld Earth-5, and so on. Make them all so diverse they look and feel like they're different publishers....it has potential. I dont know if it would sell but it'd be interesting to see.

[Jon Clark]

Early in history there was a battle across the then known universe. Young powers rebelled against old. Great lords faced rebellion by those they trusted most. Those whose powers rested upon knowledge of the rules of nature battled those who drew power from outside reality. In the end the great powers found themselves scattered and in many cases cut off from one another. None could reach the destroyed home planet which had been pulled from the universe itself along with the interstellar transit system which extended from it. Worst of all was the loss of the energy that was the very source of the reality bending powers these beings had wielded.

In the wake of the war the psionic lords of Oa went forth using their remaining power to guide evolution on new forming worlds. They imposed an order on the universe, seeking to prevent another war. Over time they retreated from the field themselves leaving behind agents to act in their stead. These "starmen" slowly spread order and promoted peace but found themselves opposed by others like the Crystal Empire of Z'rox, the Chaos Lords of Qward, the psychotic old one X'hal and the genocidal Krona (a renegade Oan).

On other worlds small groups of survivors of that war found themselves alone and were forced to colonize various worlds. The ships Kyrpp and Ton'an under the leadership of Ra Olym were forced to adapt to the inhospitable world they named Krypton. The information hub of the elder races, Colu. realizing that no supplies would come either to repair the information infrastructure or to feed the organic inhabitants descended into a battle between men and machines. The military base at Khundia devolved firt to a military dictatorship and later to a culture based around conflict and force of arms.

But the strangest outcome of the war was one that has only recently come to light. A small insignificant planet where over the past six millennia small interactions with the greater universe are brining about a change.

An artifact from the Universal War charged with the powers of Oa and sorcery has come into the possession of a young man named Alan Scott. An escapee from the lost First World has revealed the existence of the greater universe to those trapped outside it. The "source" of all creation has been unleashed transforming the lives of research scientist Jayne Garrick, physicists Ray Palmer and Martin Stein, Air Force Captain Nathaniel Adam, and others. The survivors of Krypton, the last Martian and a warrior emplowered by ancient "gods" emerge from the shadows.

The only criteria I'd really have for building my own DCU is being as inclusive as possible with respect to the characters. Legacy characters can cause some friction there, but I'd include whatever version so long as there were opportunities to either tell new stories based on the past, or have them co-exist in different roles.

I mean just look at this.

[comicstar100]

My idea for the DCU would be to focus on different eras all at the same time on the new rebooted main earth. For storytelling sake this will be Earth 4. It would be made of 3 eras or lines. Titles from all 3 lines would run together monthly

Gold Line 80 to 30 years before present. Stars the JSA post World War II, The All Star Squadron during the war and Infinity Inc. Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters would exist in alternate reality of this where they face a nazi version of the JSA, that reality is deystroyed and they are stranded the JSA's reality. Infinity Inc would take place in the 60s and feature the JSA's offspring taking on their parents legacy.

Silver Line 20 Years ago to present. This would be the main line that most books take place in. This line features present day Justice League. It would start with the formation of the League and move forward. Wonder Woman would be hesitant to join as she was a JSA member years ago and lost teammates.

Bronze line 10 years from present onward. This would feature older Titans and Young Justice characters replacing the semi retired Justice League.

Team ups for the most part would be from time travel rather than multiple earths crossing over. You could even cross through several different lines with characters like Vandal Savage who don't age. He could start a plan in the gold line facing the JSA and it could end in the bronze line facing the Titans. Time wouldn't exactly be linear and in flux. Characters could die or even change entirely from what you intended them to be from one era to the other.

Outside of this I would keep the current Earth One and Earth 2 books as sort of a Ultimate DC line. Earth 3 stays for evil counterparts. Any stories outside of these 3 would be Elseworlds.

I like the different "lines". Past, present, and future. Maybe shiny lines on the borders of the comic to let the fans know which was which? Hehe.

[Herowatcher]

As some may have stated….
My DC Universe would be the return of the original multiverse with the best elements of Post-COIE.

Characters back on their previous Earths:
1) Earth-1 = Justice League
2) Earth- 2 = Justice Society of America
3) Earth 3 = Crime Syndicate
4) Earth 4 = Charlton Universe
5) Earth 5 = Fawcett Universe
6) Earth 50 = Wildstorm Universe
7) Earth 60 = Milestone Universe
(You get the point)

- Continuity and time would be flexible. Hundreds of new stories possible without worrying that the characters have to age in real time. Bad stories can eventually be phased out.

- Nurture more diverse (non-legacy) characters like Black Lightning, Skyrocket, Vibe, Equinox, Solstice, Windshear, Katana and the Global Guardians.

- The original Teen Titans are still teens and had been sidekicks (Dick, Donna, Roy, Garth, Wally, Charley, Betty…etc.). Mal Duncan is The Guardian of Earth-1.

- Jason Todd is dead and a 13 yr. old Tim Drake is just becoming Robin (Damian...moved to Earth-509).

[Fairyprincess]

There are just 5 earths. With comics spread evenally between them.

Earth one. (Silver age earth.) Silver age DC/Charlton hero's.

Earth two. (Golden age earth.) DC golden age/fawcett/ quality hero's.

Earth three ("evil"/antimatter earth.) The home of the crime cyndicate/ qward / and bizzaro earth

Earth four (fourth world/ other Kirby.) The home of the new gods, mister miricle, OMAC, kamandi, and the super power tie in comics

Earth five (modern earth.) Nu 52, wildstorm, milestone, all-star" and other 'ultimized' concepts.

[Riv86672]

I did this one a few years back, rebooting the 31st century w. it’s own imprint.

[Burning Eyes]

Action Comics: the Superman Family
Adventures of Superman
Detective Comics: the Batman Family
Legends of the Dark Knight
Sensation Comics: the Wonder Woman Family
Tales of the Amazon Princess
Aquaman
Green Arrow
The Flash
Green Lantern
Showcase Presents: DC Superheroes
Teen Titans
Super-Sons: Damien and Jon
Demon Knights - I thought this one was a fairly good idea from the New 52. I would bring it back.
Jonah Hex
Adventure Comics: Action Heroes
The Brave and the Bold: DC team-ups
Earth-2: Justice Society
Earth-5: Shazam!

Justice League would be a 6-10 issue ministries released every year. It would be the big annual event title, where almost every superhero from Earth-1 joins together to take down whoever the big bad of that particular story is.

THAT is a wonderful idea!
Creative teams could get together annually and iron out details, and start laying the groundwork in their various titles. Man that would be a killer way to do business!

[failo.legendkiller]

My "brand new" universe would be "classic" (which of course is a bit of an elusive word for some properties). Pre and post-COIE fusion (no New 52) where room is left for mostly all pre-FP stories to have happened in some form or another, if you want to think they happened.

Trunks, legacies, relationships, fun, no Marvel or Image feel. A DC unafraid of being its old iconic classic self.

That would be for me too.
