If you could make 3 changes to the DCU right now, what would they be?

[Lairston]

1. Restore Superman's costume to the pre-flashpoint one
2. Restore the pre-flashpoint Wally West
3. Hire Mark Waid to replace Didio and Lee.

[Lightning Rider]

1. Bring back the real Wally w/ his family

2. Have Barry save Nora

3. Make Green Arrow his leftie self again.

Honorable mentions: Give John Stewart some more love. Make story arcs more about relationships and classic bad guy plots, and less about events.

[Bored at 3:00AM]

1) Find the best creators possible.

2) Put them on books they are passionate about.

3) Stay out of their way.

[Green Goblin of Sector 2814]

Bring back the New Teen Titans history or at least some version of it (with Cyborg having served as a member before joining the JLA)

Bring back classic Wally West and rename NuWally (but with him still as the new Kid Flash, while Wally takes on a separate speedster identity)

Launch a new Outsiders book with Wonder Woman as leader.

[SwampyCA]

These three work for me.

Give the Superman Editorial department a complete overhaul from top to bottom. This is something that has needed to be done for a good long time.

More Swamp Thing

Make Geoff Johns a writer again

[CaptCleghorn]

Superman's red trunks return
Batman and Robin '97 with George Clooney variant photocovers
Give the Blackhawks superpowers and secret identities.

[Jadeb]

1. Restore the relationships between characters, like Superboy and Robin's bromance
2. Bring back the proper JSA and honor their place in DC's history
Third is tough. Could be "reduce storytelling decompression" or "fix Superman's supporting cast," but I'll go with:
3. Add more fun, and show heroes enjoying being heroes. Please, please let Superman smile.

[Sharkey]

1) Get Grant Morrison to oversee the main titles.

2) More Multiversity - either as its own thing or incorporated into the main titles here and there.

3) Make each book more unique in its tone - inject Golden Age and zany Silver Age tropes into appropriate books. Make some books simple mainstream ones and other genre-bending experiments.

[CaptCleghorn]

Seriously, though...

1) A different earth (formerly known as Earth 2) where we see multi-generational heroes as well as what happens when super heroics have been going on for decades. Parent/child and seasoned veteran/idealistic rookie conflicts have been story staples for thousands of years. They aren't dated now. Oh, noes, am the JSA old? It's a superhero comic for crying out loud, make up something.

2) Characters should all not have to change their plans every time Batman gets a storyline lasting more than eight pages. The Joker's back? We don't need Kate Kane, Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, Morgan Freeman and Michio Kaku all to have to have a tie-in.

3) A Legion of Super Heroes that is a mix of new and old. Updating techniques as was done for Five years later and using the old spirit of the original LSH, make a combo that's not dependent on modern times. Does the JLA constantly go back and get robin Hood to help them?

[Fairyprincess]

1) I'd get around the ridiculous assertion that superman should be the first hero , but resurrecting the 1939 superman and giving him a monthly.

2) I establish wonder woman as being first established in 1941. And put a ban on her carrying a sword or a child.

3.) Bring back the 'classic' JSA. Either on earth 0 or earth 2.

[DevilBat66]

1. Use whatever means necessary to restart the DCU at the moment that Crisis on Infinite Earths DIDN'T happen.

I don't need a 2 or 3.

If only. That would solve pretty much everything.

[Buried Alien]

Seems like *every* suggestion identified so far is some variant of "go back."

3- no more BS,have superman land on earth as a baby in 1938.make him age through the decades then centuries,and still be the one thing that doesnt change ,he is the one constant in a never ending world.smallville,legion,jsa,jla,etc,he has lived through every single thing every single version of superman from the past has experienced.there is and always has been only one superman.everything has been or is a part of who he is.this is how you make your greatest hero the timeless icon that never dies.

Was just thinking about this the other day. This would make him,somewhat,like Doctor Who. An alien who has lived several lifetimes but is a constant and can "turn around an army at the mere mention of his name."

[Brian Adkins]

1) Find the best creators possible.

2) Put them on books they are passionate about.

3) Stay out of their way.

Yes,agreed.

That is kind of troubling but seems par for the course as readers-especially older ones-don't easily embrace change. (Here's where someone says,"Sure I will, if it's a GOOD change." Then we get into a debate over opinions of what is/was and isn't/wasn't good changes.etc. )
