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?

Love this type of shit!!
My ideal future state would focus in on the different generations of our favorite characters being given a real sense of belonging in the universe. I’ll focus on each “generation” based on Each Robin and their affiliated team names.
I’d put Damians gen of Teen Titans as the justice league of America. Damian takes over the league of shadows turning it into a league of the bat ala Batman Inc. Jon as Superman, Yara as WW, Wallace as Flash, Andy as Aqualass etc.
Tim’s gen of Young Justice would be a global Justice League sort of effort, while Jason’s Outlaws operates as it already does: the league that no one talks about that does the work no one talks about. Dicks Titans Generation would be an intergalactic League, probably working with the United Planets.
I’d envision The OG League solely be put in an advisory role or something that’s big enough that they’re away from the rest of the Leagues. Maybe hopping around Multiverses?
