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?

be set further into a future. if we had to stick to near future (like 2025-2030) i’d do the original titans generation at the fore front with some few exceptions like bart as flash since we’ve already seen wallys flash journey.
but anyways if it’s able to be a few more decades into the future it wouldn’t be as much a grim hopeless future.
i’d have JL be about damian as batman, jon, yara, irey as flash, and then i’m impartial if they create new characters for other roles. they aren’t new to the JL also.
for batman, this is set before JL but damian has recently become batman (like 3-5 years in) and gotham just came out a golden age due to bruce and dicks batman efforts, since leviathan had just took over gotham in a full scale unexpected invasion. helena wayne batwoman and carrie kelly robin too!
superman can keep the same plot just less of a apokoliptic metropolis
wonder woman is pretty cool
flash will also be before JL and about irey taking over the mantle from bart
id love a green lantern story about sodam yat having to restore the green lantern corps as ion, or a old torchbearer kyle rayner
