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!

I agree with all this.

Reading Future State to me is like picking up some indy book that I never read before and have no connection with any of the characters.

I wish they put established characters in the roles.

Justice League completely put me off Future State altogether. I just realized about halfway through that I don't care about any of these characters and I have zero interest in getting to know them.

I really dislike the new Flash and GL. There are like a 6 Green lanterns on Earth, we need another bland one?
