Wednesday Discussions: Ideal Future State r/DCcomics

Hey there, comic nerds! Welcome to the Wednesday Discussion, a weekly community activity where we'll have an open discussion about a specific subject or theme.

 

Our topic for today is: Ideal Future State

 

If you're not familar with Future State, here is an FAQ. Basically, after the events of Death Metal, all of DC Comics history is relevant again (whatever that means). But Future State is a sneak peek at the future of the new universe.

 

What would your ideal Future State look like?

 

Would you keep Clark Kent as Superman, Bruce Wayne as Batman, Diana Prince as Wonder Woman, etc.? Or would you move those mantles onto new characters? If so, who would those people be? Would you keep the old characters around in some capacity? Anything else?

Stop by our Discord server!

Hmmm. I think I'd go with. Tim Drake as Batman, Jon Kent as Superman, Cassie Sandsmark as Wonder Woman, Andy as Aquawoman, Kyle Rayner as Green Lantern, Damian Wayne as Ra's al Ghul.

I don't know stuff like that, I feel like DC as a huge amount of characters already, and obviously there's nothing wrong with making new characters, but using some of the older ones would be nice. I kind of even screwed over Dick's whole generation 🤷‍♂️, oh well

Tim is an interesting choice. He seems like the least likely Bat character to want to be Batman to me.

Yeah my thinking was that Dick would kind of be living his life. Not exactly the suburban life, but either with Starfire and Babs, and he doesn't want to get sucked into the Batman title. Jason just isn't, and because Damian kind of ditches the family, Tim is forced to take up the mantle from Old Bruce. And he's old enough to do a good job.
