    Default The Spider-man of the DC Universe

    Here is something most folks missed from marvel vs dc. As you know it's canon with both marvel and dc. (access even showed up in a dc comic.) In his last mini series access erased the memories of all the heroes of everything that went down in marvel vs dc! Only jubilee (who had a dairy) and the watcher kept their memories. This led to avengers vs jla. Anyway this mini series threw in a neat little reveal that most missed. In the first issue ben spidey gets sent to the dc universe and meets the joker. Spidey does not know the joker but joker knows spidey! How? He fought him in batman Spider-Man! That's right. The comic confirms the batman Spider-Man crossover was the dc universe Spider-Man! DC has a Spider-Man! Joker was surprised spidey did not know him and even asked if he was nuts for not knowing what gotham was!

    So in this comic the writer created a spidey for dc! So where do you think he is now and why did they not throw him in the spider-verse story? Do you think dc could use him as a easter egg in their comics are did they forget about this? What do you think of this neat easter egg?

    Here is access meeting jade (showing it's canon).




    Here is the page where joker knows spidey.

    I think Joker remembering Spider-Man from the various crossovers is more of an indication that the crazy can remember retcons.

    And the Joker has been implied in various comics to be capable of seeing past the Fourth Wall, as a condition of his so-called "super-sanity," as Grant Morrison would have put it. That aside, if you're looking for a Spider-Man equivalent in the DC Universe, the closest to it would be Kyle Rayner, the fourth human Green Lantern introduced in the 90s, who was depicted as a hard-luck case in the vein of common portrayals/perceptions of Peter Parker, and whose grand motivation for heroism was the violent death of a loved one (girlfriend instead of uncle/father figure, but still). Also similar to Spider-Man, Kyle's most well-known girlfriend that didn't die from getting literally stuffed into the fridge was a young woman (seen in the pics from the OP) who worked as a supermodel, though the girlfriend that got literally stuffed into a fridge could serve as an analogue for Gwen Stacy, who met her own violent death at the hands of a super-villain despite Spider-Man's best efforts to save her, twenty years before Kyle Rayner's creation. Another commonality between Kyle and Spidey is that both of them are depicted as being cursed with terrible luck, especially in their romantic relationships, yet also touted as potentially the greatest heroes of all (Kyle among the Green Lanterns for "bearing the torch" when nobody else would or could, Spider-Man in future-set Marvel Comics stories).
    The spider is always on the hunt.

    Surely if memories were changed, so should anything that was the result of those memories? Jubilee's diary showing she was in love with Tim Drake should've blanked, like how Peter Parker's wedding photos would've vanished when he did the deal to regain his secret identity at the cost of his marriage.

    maybe the joker has kidnapped him and kept him prisoner and from him has gained the idea of cloning himself which explains the three jokers running around.
