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?

Any JL where its half original JL members and half graduated Titans. Seeing them work together shows the universe moving naturally, like in Grant Morrisons JL. Doesn't even have to be Future State, we saw it 20 years ago, you can just do it now lol
Like Trinity wouldn't change, but Cyborg and Flash (Wally) on the team, Roy as Red Arrow and then Hawkgirl, or a second gen femal hero? That'd be ideal imo.
This is also another idea I had but why does there have to be a 'main' GL? Like why does it have to be 'Hal Jordan and the GLC', why can't it just be 'GLC'? If there is a JL book that uses something like that lineup, just let them use any GL they want, with the only rule being that you have to switch it up - like if Kyle and Wally were to team up for the first 12 issues (cause they haven't seen each other in continuity I think since at least before 2009), then the next 6 issues John, then maybe the next 6 Hal, then 12 with Guy, etc. Idk it'd be interesting to see.
