    Default If the DCU was shrunk down to just 12 ongoing titles ...

    Which crucial dozen titles would you choose to publish?

    For me:

    1. Action Comics starring Superman
    2. Detective Comics starring Batman
    3. Wonder Woman
    4. The Flash
    5. Green Lantern
    6. Aquaman
    7. Green Arrow & Black Canary
    8. Shazam!
    9. Justice League
    10. Titans
    11. Legion of Super-Heroes
    12. Showcase

    I can't really say . . . I don't buy twelve different DC titles at present, and one I do buy (Gotham Academy: Second Semester) is ending soon.
    The other problem I have with this isn't a question of what titles themselves should they have / drop; it's WHO THE F#@& do they have writing and drawing them?
    I'd buy more DC books (like Batman, Detective Comics, Flash, Justice League) if I could actually enjoy reading them instead of disliking/hating them.

    I don't see Shazam! getting a title considering he didn't get one in the New 52 despite being on the Justice League and is MIA in Rebirth. Superman & Batman have always appeared in two or more titles since their inception. Nightwing sells more than Aquaman, Green Arrow and is just behind Green Lantern. 12 titles is to little for a universe this big.

    Eh, how many pages per book? How frequent do these books come out? I still say it is to small a number for DC unless each is a graphic novel size coming out every month. The infighting over characters story arcs from fans would kill this concept. If Detective Comics end up with too much Batfamily then the Batman fans who want to read his solo adventures will complain, If it is all Batman then the Batfamily fans will complain and if you compound it more then what if Duke is getting more page time then Tim Drake, Harper Row getting more page time then Cass/Steph, As a Nightwing fan I would dislike him being shifted from a solo to support character with little page time in an overcrowded Gotham.

    Considering the other titles, Legion Of Superheroes haven't held a consistent Title for a while, Doom Patrol does not sell anywhere near other solo heroes.

    It would be a mistake not having Suicide Squad or Secret Six or Secret Society of Supervillains around. DC thrives on great villains.
