Build Your Own DC Universe

[OptimusPrime114]

Ever wonder what it would be like to imagine your version of the DC Universe?

Different from the New 52? Different from from the old universe?

Please share your ideas with me. I am very interested in hearing what they are.

I have so many ideas for my own DC Universe.

 

[DeGenerate10]

First I would only allow two titles MAX for characters. So it would be Detective/Batman or Action/Superman. I'd mainly try to keep the timelines as consistant as possible after that.

 

[bat89]

I would have the following teams:

Jusice League( Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash(Wally) GL(Jon) Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Shazam, Hawkgirl, Zatanna, and Booster Gold for starters)

JSA(Captain Atom, Stargirl, Mr. Terrific, Jakeem Thunder, Powergirl, Dr. Fate. Sponsored by King Faraday)

Titans( Red Robin, Blue Beetle, Wonder Girl, Beast Boy, Empress, Cybrog, Raven, Starfire. Sponsored by Maxwell Lord.)

Doom Patrol(The Cheif, Elastic girl, Mento, Negativeman, Vox, Robotman)

Bat-Family
Alpha team(Batman, Catwoman, Robin-Damian Wayne)
Beta team(Nightwing, Red Hood, Batgirl-Stephanie Brown)
Barbra Gordon/Oracle is communications & intellegence
Tim Drake/Red Robin is Bruce's spy in the Titans

Batman Incorporated:

Roy Raymond/Owlman
Kate Kane/Batwoman- female James Bond that investigates the mob
Michael Lane/Azrael- tracks down the League of Shadows
Helena Bertinelli/Huntress-hunts down mobsters
David Zavimbe/Batwing-international manhunter
sponsored by Bruce Wayne

The difference between the Bat-family and Bat-inc. is that the family knows who Batman is and works with him in Gotham/ Blüdhaven. Inc. works for Bruce Wayne around the world.

The reason some teams have a sponsor is because Lex Luthor is elected Presisdent of the United States, and has passed a law making superheroes registered government agents as long as there is a government sponsor that reports to Congress on the heroes activities.

Clark & Lois are married as are Bruce and Selina.

1999. The Flash, Green Arrow, and Hourman debuts.

2000. Robin Debuts. Batman meets Superman. Superman Meets Wonder Woman. The Aquaman legend came true. The no kill policy is reinstated by Batman when adopting Dick.

2001. Global Terrorist strike. Justice Society was created. With Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Hourman, Flash, Sandman,the Atom,Red Tornado, Black Canary, Spectre, and Hawkman as the core of the JSA.

2005. With the terrorist threat gone, a few deaths, and the US. Government (ie: CIA) attempts to force the JSA to be submit to government’s orders. The leadership of the JSA quits. Hal Jordan gains the ring.

2006. The JSA disband over political and covert scandal. Martian Manhunter escapes from area 51.

2010. Fear from a possible Alien invasion, Batman and Superman teams up and form the Justice League. With Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Black Carney, Plastic Man, the Atom, and HawkGirl to round out the main membership.

2011. JSA is reformed.

I know it's not the same but I'm writing screenplays for a SHAZAM! TV series. I have the universe separate from Arrow (and the eventual Flash) because i'll be dealing a lot with the magical/cosmic side of the DCU but will feature a bunch of other DCU heroes who deserve their due.

Just in Season 1 (I'm 15 episodes in so far) we meet Raven, Wildkat, The Question, Ray Palmer (pre-Atom), Madame Xanadu, and Starfire. And that's just the heroes!

 

[OptimusPrime114]

You know those characters that Warner Bros. created for other DC-related projects? The characters only a few have actually intergrated into the comics?

Well, I have rewritten a lot of these characters, even the awful ones, to fit into my own universe:

Alexander Knox

First appearance: Batman, 1989
Occupation: Newspaper reporter, Gotham Gazette
Visual Faceclaim: Topher Grace

BIO: Alexander Knox is a young idealistic reporter working for the Gotham Gazette who strongly believes in the Batman's ideals. Ironically, he has never actually made contact with any of the Bat-family. His Pulitzer-prize nominated stories on the Batman are often supported by pictures taken by his partner, photographer Vicki Vale. The two have a strong friendship that eventually led to romance sometime after Vicki and her boyfriend, billionaire Bruce Wayne, broke up.

August "Gus" Gorman

First appearance: Superman III
Occupation: Computer technician, S.T.A.R. Labs
Visual Faceclaim: Donald Glover

BIO: August Gorman, or Gus as he likes to be called, is a child prodigy, graduating MIT with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science at 18. After moving to Metropolis, he gets a job at S.T.A.R. Labs, working with Dr. Emil Hamilton.

Gus is also of Superman's biggest fans. He shares an apartment with good friend Jimmy Olsen and is dating Natasha Irons, niece of John Henry Irons a.k.a Steel.

Chase Meridian

First appearance: Batman Forever
Occupation: Criminal psychologist, Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane
Visual Faceclaim: Alice Eve

BIO: Chase Meridian is a young, world-renowned criminal psychologist and best-selling author who moves to Gotham City after seeing the many inmated of Arkham Asylum, especially the Riddler, as a challenge and acts as a consultant for the GCPD.

Chase used to be friends with Harleen Quinzel when they both studied psychology. After Chase learned that Harleen was working at Arkham, she was more than delighted to see her old classmate. When Quinzel started getting too close to her patient, Joseph Kerr a.k.a. the Joker, Chase warned her friend to stay away from him. Of course, she ignored Chase's advice and Harleen Quinzel became Harley Quinn. Chase took the psychological downfall of her best friend hard and has taken a private vow to rehabilitate Harley.

As far as the romantic department, Chase did date Bruce Wayne for a while. At some point during the time they were dating, she used her psych skills to deduce that Batman and Bruce Wayne were one and the same. Although the two broke up, based on a mutual decision that they were not meant to be, Chase has since become a close ally of Batman and his team of costumed heroes. She later found love with Jean-Paul Valley, a.k.a. Azrael

Otis Berg

First appearance: Superman: The Movie, Superman II
Occupation: Personal assistant, LexCorp
Visual Faceclaim: Jason Segal.

BIO: Otis Berg is an employee at LexCorp, working as the personal assistant to Lex Luthor. He is good-natured, bumbling at times and is naive. He is often, thought Luthor will never admit it, the voice of reason. He knew all about Lex's nefarious plots in his efforts to destroy Superman. Otis has tried several times to convice Lex to drop his personal vendetta against Superman, but of course, Lex refuses to.

After Lex Luthor's eventual public fall from grace, LexCorp as reborn under new management. Otis was appointed as head of applied sciences by new CEO Tess Mercer (born Lutessa Lena Luthor), who is actually an agent of Checkmate and a liason to the Justice League.

Otis also fell in love with LexCorp secretary and Lex's ex-girlfriend, Eve Teschmacher.

Id like to see them intergrate some of the old Helix Comics.
like they have done with Vertigo and Wildstorm. It would be interesting to see titles like.....TIME BREAKERS / DEAD CORPS / VERMILLION / THE DOME GROUND ZERO / SHEVA'S WAR
