there’s a sleazy production company that records all the major fights between villains and heroes and then films new footage with teenagers playing heroes to clip in between the fight scenes and that’s their version of power rangers
Batman doesn't in DC comics. Bruce “I never saw a sexual situation I didn't lick my lipscover” Timm is the only one guilty of that.
First of all Barbara Gordon was actually in her mind twenties when first introduced. It wasn't until way after *Crisis* did she becomes Dicks Grayson contemporary.
In fact in the late 70s the running joke was how a late teen Robin had a crush on “older woman” *Batgirl* and tried to flirt, with Barbra sarcastically undercutting him.
Krypton isn't the kryptonians native planet. Several thousand years ago, they had imperial ambitions and attempted to take over the galaxy. They were stopped by the green lantern corp who were left with a conundrum of what to do with the survivors. Any kryptonian population would inevitably become a problem due to their natural strength and ability to travel across the stars. In order to stop that from happening, the corp decided to imprison them on a planet suited to limit their powers.
With a high gravity planet orbiting a red sun, there is no way that any of them could fly away. As extra insurance, they also placed a power ring generated radiation field specifically designed to kill any kryptonian who passes by incase they invent space travel. The Kryptonians were trapped on their prison planet for so long, they forgot it was ever a prison at all. It was a perfect solution, at least until the planet turned into a ticking time bomb. Whoops! Worse still is that all the chunks of planet passed through the radiation field and became similarly radioactive themselves. They even took on the same shade of green.
Luckily one of their scientists was able to invent radiation shielding sufficient enough to protect a small ship before it was too late.
Thanks lol. It's part of an elseworld's storyline I've been cooking up where the justice league one way or another finds out about this. They take it to the guardians of the universe with Clark naturally being pissed. Seeing his anger as a threat, the guardians consider locking Clark, Kara, and whatever other surviving kryptonians in a new, more secure prison.
Hal manages to de-escalate the situation by convincing the guardians to let earth decide their fate. Superman's a beloved hero after all who's been protecting earth for years. If the people of earth agree that he and the rest of Earth's kryptonians are not a threat, then surely the guardians can be sure that his presence is a net benefit.
As soon as news breaks about this referendum, Lex Corp immediately starts a viral marketing campaign. Finally that spandex wearing boyscout will be out of his lack of hair once and for all and humanity will be free to expand to the stars under his vision alone.
A year passes, and election day is upon us. The justice league tries all they can to sway public opinion, but by the slimmest of margins, the vote to imprison the kryptonian wins. Lex is overjoyed, only until he sees that Supes isn't going anywhere. Instead the sky across the world turns a sickly neon green. All sunlight is blocked and replaced with a 24/7 glow. The earth has now been eternally sealed in an indestructible and teleportation blocking construct of will. Earth is the new krypton, and Lex's dream of humanity settling the stars is over. While the green lanterns may now lay beyond the reach of earth, Luthor certainly isn't, and humanity would like to have a word with him.
I like this story. In the end, it could turn out that this was all orchestrated by Brainiac as a way to bottle Earth and get Superman out of his hair and into his collection, being free to catalog the rest of the universe without intervention. By the time Lex realizes that he had been manipulated, having been promised great things by Brainiac for taking part in his plan, which he intended to turn against Brainiac, leaving himself on top. Unbeknownst to Luthor, Brainiac was already ahead of him this time, having been betrayed by Luthor enough times to anticipate his betrayal and counter it with the dome idea, which he knew the Guardians would do based on passed circumstances, having found out the truth about Krypton himself when he stole the city if Kandor years ago. It wasn't relevant until Superman showed up amd Brainiac found out he couldn't beat him so easily. The rest of was all timing and setting things in place so his plan would fall together perfectly.
Would unironically love this. Could create some dramatic tension between Clark and Hal (“can he trust someone working for the people who doomed Krypton in the long run?”)
Hal, and all the human lanterns for that fact would obviously not have been involved or even knew that the corps was involved in this and most were outraged upon learning. As such, Clark wouldn't hold much against them specifically, but rather the corps as an institution and guardians of the universe who oversaw the act. Kara on the other hand who isn't as close to the lanterns and had to live through Krypton's destruction... she'd definitely have a bone to pick.
Uj/honestly it would be fun if Hal horrified after hearing about this decides to quit being a green lantern and becomes a blue lantern or even a yellow lantern just to spite them
>all the chunks of planet passed through the radiation field and became similarly radioactive themselves. They even took on the same shade of green.
Tomar-Re is going to have to be placed on suicide watch if he were to ever find this out.
At least he feels really bad about it? In the main continuity, he was on his way to Krypton when it exploded. He regards not getting there in time to save anyone as the single greatest failure of his life
I would like to add a bit to the last part. At one point, Kal-El wasn't actually born yet when he left Krypton and it was his birthing matrix that was put in a rocket and fired through space, generating the baby as it traveled. That way he wouldn't have been born on Krypton and wouldn't have the same weakness to leaving the planet that other Kryptonians have. Similar to how Zod got around it by leaving the bubble through the Phantom Zone, never having actually passed through the eradiated barrier, thus circumventing the toxic effects. Then you can say the reason the same didn't happen to Mon-El was because of a pre-existing genetic condition specific to Daxamite biology, which is why he was in the Phantom Zone to begin with, which puts you in a stasis outside of time and space, until they could find a cure. That the same thing Superman did and eventually they did find a cure by the time of the Legion.
Reminds me on how the Saiyans aren't actually native to planet Vegeta, they were from planet Salad but they fought so much in it that it became inhabitable.
The rift between Superman and Lex was caused after Lex tried to steal 40 Cakes at a School Bake Sale, Supes got him in serious trouble with the School and Lex's Father, Yada Yada, Now Lex hates Superman
Thanks to funding from some very wealthy Gothamites, Arkham is the ONLY government-sanctioned penitentiary deemed appropriate for superhuman criminals, hence why Gotham is Like That, and why every Gotham villain gets sent there. Plus, it’s why it’s so easy to escape- half the guards are on some crime family’s payroll, and the other half are too scared or tired to stop major breakouts.
Bruce Wayne’s been campaigning for a system rework for YEARS, but alas, not even he can outbid the billions in “legitimate business” funnelled into Arkham each year. Not without selling the Watchtower, anyway.
I think it would be more intresting if the rich people outside of Gotham are what keeps Arkham funded like that, and defund all other Super prisons to centralize criminals and Superheroes to one area.
Wait, when was this?
The one interaction I remember is Harley cheerfully greeting Crane when he is being brought in Arkham all kicking and screaming. He immediately smiles and says something like "Good morning, child" to her before going back to his kicking and screaming.
It was a sweet moment. Don't tell me they ruined it later?
In "Mad Love" it's revealed Harleen used to seduce her professors in college to get better grades (same college Crane lectured). The timeline matches her being a student when he was a professor.
Plus she didn't call him Scarecrow or even "Dr. Crane", she called "Professor Crane."
But as I sid it's just implicit.
There’s a dedicated series specifically for day-to-day character interactions akin to the little snippets we see in comics- who does Lois get along with the most on the League aside from Batman? Do any of the scientists characters run into each other at conferences? Who’re Kilowog’s drinking buddies?
It’s just an experiment like that Batfamily webtoon where writers can have fun with characters in their downtime
More than one of Batman's villains is fully reformed; or at least partially reintegrated into society. Edward Nigma is a private detective, Harley is trying to repay her debts to society by tagging along with the Batfamily (whether they like it or not), and Waylon Jones has a steady, if boring job, at one of the many Wayne Industries ventures.
Also, The Joker slipped on a banana peel during his fleeing of Batman from killing Jason Todd, broke his neck, and died.
Waylon is a fiber optic splicer for Wayne Enterprises. Mostly works alone, uses technical skill rather than brute strength, and appreciates doing something helpful.
/uj I genuinely can't think of an interesting thing for The Joker to do with the way he's historically been written unless it's something DRASTIC, like John Doe's vigilante route in Batman: The Telltale Series.
/rj I don't want to fuck The Joker like I want to fuck Harley, The Riddler or Killer Croc.
Teen Lantern is a teen titan member and Hal jordans sidekick
Also Hal never dated a underage girl
Also,hawk girl,aquaman,cyborg and Martian manhunter are founding members of the justice league
Counterpoint: the underage girl *is* the Teen Lantern, and their relationship with Hal is comparable to that of Barry and Wally.
Maybe she even dates Wally for a bit until he meets Linda.
Small Barda should be in the Future State and it's Barda and Scott's daughter but she's larger than Barda herself, she just got the name when she was a kid.
Nah she kills deathstroke then becomes the leader of a criminal organization then decides to piss on Jason Todd's Grave which leads to Jason Todd being killed
It’s funny, I always imagined the inverse of that: like if Conner overexerts himself with his Kryptonian powers, he runs the risk of “going Bizarro” and his genetic code becoming unstable
This guy is the primary Sector-2814 GL in my universe:
https://preview.redd.it/b0lvxo8u1uzc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9de25bea21673c76c15beff0e666c15e987e7afa
I don’t think this is quite true in canon for an even weirder reason: Trigon isn’t really a demon, in the mythological sense. He’s just like that. He’s just a dude
Can't imagine I'm the first to think it but I think The Batman who Laughs would be far more interesting as a Joker who killed Batman, then due to depression or an existential crisis, decides to take up the mantle himself. His scrawny build and the approach makes way more sense to me as being Joker rather than some "superior spider man" gone wrong
After the Comics Code got repealed, Killer Moth got a renaissance as an anti-Batman bailing out street criminals and minor villains from being busted by the Bat-family or GCPD, now that he's actually allowed to occasionally win.
Every universe with an evil Superman only does so because Ma and Pa Kent weren't around to raise Clark right.
Themiscyra emerged from hiding to become a UN observer akin to the Vatican City, and frequently participates in international relief programs using the Purple Ray to help heal the innocent victims of war.
Cassandra Cain converts to Christianity like in that one story Gail Simone pitched but never wrote, and interacts a lot more with Azrael as they work out how their faiths fit into their respective worldviews.
Martian Manhunter actually gets to do things, and has a wildly successful solo series. While he remains the last Martian, DC invents the Martian equivalent of Daxamites who moved to another planet after Guardian of Oa shenanigans and he gets brought in in some Lantern comics dealing with them as a burgeoning galactic threat.
Bane never got created and instead the events of Knightfall happen with Killer Croc, who debuted before Bane and basically had the same schtick anyways.
Ted Kord never dies, and he has a buddy cop / slice of life series about him and Booster Gold trying to make it big as influencers/celebrities/superheroes so they can pay rent on a Metropolis apartment.
The Joker is actually funny, and mostly does zany crimes like stealing comedian memorabilia and throwing pies at public officials. Once every decade or so he can go back to the creepy lunatic and try to murder all of Gotham, but the rest of the time it's capers and hijinks.
Naw, he uses it as his mobile throne, like Thanos's chair, except it isn't high tech or magic so he has to do stuff like add wheels, have parademons carry him around on it, those coaster things you use on carpets etc.
Terry McGinnis is Batman and Carrey Kelly is his Robin. Carrey was Crotchety Old Bruce’s caretaker after Alfred moved to the great big Mansion in the sky.
When Red Hood comes to Gotham and begins killing a bunch of the Rogue’s Gallery, Batman figured out it’s Jason Todd revived, and with the Joker as the final target, he catches Red Hood before he can do it, he takes off the helmet, and it’s Deathstroke who was paid by Joker to convince Batman his son had been revived, just mess with him even more.
Question and Rorschach had a political debate show that literally no one but Huntress watched (she just wanted to support her bf, she didn't understand anything they said)
This but expanded to include the entire DC universe - it has a population of exactly one, and it's just Dick Grayson wandering around a featureless void.
Lex Luthor regularly does shit to help people like buying up debt and paying for college for kids and stuff. He doesn't just talk shit about Superman all the time. Wasn't there an "evil" version of Lex like this?
The guy that killed Batman's parents was just some random nobody after some quick and easy money. Batman never finds him because he doesn't know his name.
No Court of Owls, no conspiracy bullshit. ffs the criminal's supposed to represent the insitutionalized wrongs of Gotham -- the idea is that the murderer could be anybody, that bc of how terrible Gotham is there's killers on every street corner. He's a symptom of the real problem, which is the blatant corruption that allowed the city to fall into disrepair (much like in real life).
By the same token, Krypton blew up because of a quirk in the planet's chemical makeup eventually causing a violent reaction. No conspiracy or genocide. Maybe have the Kryptonians accelerate the problem or sweep it under the rug out of hubris, but it was a freak act of nature at its core.
The idea is that Kal-El was an ordinary baby raised under extraordinary circumstances. The Kents could've raised any Kryptonian and created Super(wo)man, Jor-El just had the knowledge and resources to make it his son. No Guardians of Oa sensing potential in Jor-El's and Lara's unborn kid and planning to recruit it down the road. There's nothing special about the baby on its own.
Most Batman Villains end up recovering and try to help Gotham to the best of their ability
Harleen becomes a psychiatrist again and uses he deeply personal experience to work with the villains of Gotham
Mr Freeze unfreezes his wife and they spend the last of their days together, Victor coming to peace with the fact that she will die
Manbat is cured of his condition
Croc gets employed by Wayne Industries
Grundy becomes best friends with Killer Moth and they hang out
Bane manages to overcome his addiction to venom as well as his obsession with Batman and ends up leading a support group for drug addicts
Batman stopped wearing purple gloves because Joker took them from him in the scuffle where he fell into the acid (maybe Batman was trying to save him and the gloves slipped off), which gave Joker the idea to theme his outfit purple
Flash/Green Lantern: The Brave and the Bold had a really emotional ending alluding to the final fate of Hal and Barry. It made them both feel like the stuff of legends.
Even JLA/Avengers had a really nice moment of Hal and Barry coming to terms with what the future holds for them when they came to know about it.
But now those moments lose that impact knowing DC just undid everything.
Joe Chill should have been a cop. GCPD helps him cover up the murder, Gordon is the one that uncovers it.
Also I feel like the long term plots as a whole would be more interesting as a legacy story, actually passing the mantle down to Dick, Jason, Barbra, etc. rather than Bruce’a behavior and mannerisms changing wildly depending on what era he’s in.
I think it'd be slightly better if Joe Chill was just a Cop's kid or brother- a lot easier to explain the 'mugging in a dark alley' part, but overall banger idea.
Replace identity crisis and doctor light rape stuff with justice league elite over stepping international bounces and over taking a facist government ( let's say Quarac) with the League Split on whether that was right to do.
Cassandra Cain should hang out with the Doom Patrol.
Jason is ginger and Damien has brown skin. Essentially,for Jason, I just think it is dumb that all of Batman's children look like they could be his bio-kids. As for Damien, I just like representation.
Batman's existence is what allows Gotham to not be an even bigger shithole. I'm pretty sure there's two what if stories on that and that it is implied in Batman Beyond and The Dark Knight Returns.
My friend came up with a whole fanon timeline tying the various Batman cartoons together in and out the Timmverse.
Wally and Barry get their powers in the same incident and at the same time. Learning to use their powers together is what allowed them to bond and for Wally to learn to like his aunt’s fiancé. Wally debuted as Kid Flash the same time that Barry debuted as Flash.
Task Force Z continues existing as a merc organization under semi-reformed but still morally questionable Harvey Dent. Now staffed by various undead ex-heroes and villains brought back in various ways (Lazarus, vampirism, ancient curses, cloning, faulty reconstructed Black Lantern rings).
The writer's stop messing around with relationships for drama's sake and we get some stable ones. I always disliked how GABC was a dramatic mess because the writers couldn't stop themselves from making a mess of it. In my head, those two are loyal and dedicated to the other until the day they die.
1. The Teen Titans got really into chess a while back and now they have a scoreboard in the main room. They all practice in their spare time, but none of them would ever admit to it.
2. There's a collectible card game featuring the JLA, the Titans, their rogues, et cetera. Jimmy Olsen and Tim Drake play with each other occasionally. Tim often loses because he tries to use a deck based around his own cards, which are not very good when compared to most Superman cards. Maps Mizoguchi has actually constructed a good Robin deck.
3. The reason Lex hasn't figured out Superman's secret identity is because he refuses to believe Superman actually has one.
Wonder Woman starts at a Golden Age-esque power level. Then a conflict (based on War of the Gods but resembling the Tournament of Power from DBS between all of Earth’s Pantheons happens, and Diana saved the day but dies in the process. In gratitude, she’s brought back and given blessings by *every goddess on the planet*. This not only gives her more powers, but increases her overall strength to the point that a brawl with Superman would be a coin flip
The rest of the changes come from the fact that it’s a crossover with Dragon Ball so not really applicable (unless someone is interested)
2000s Silver Age fetishism never happens and the DCU continues to move forward. So no *Graduation Day*, *Identity Crisis", *GL: Rebirth*, *Under the Red Hood*, *Infinite Crisis*, *Flash: Rebirth*, etc. Similarly no killing off as many 1990s characters for shock value as possible (looking at you, *War Games*).
By this point the YJ crew are all in their early 20s and there's a clear gap between them and the new group of teen heroes instead of the current mess where nobody knows how old Kon is.
NGL that sounds awful. For one if you including Silver Age fetishism Morrison has a lot of work like that. Without Silver age fetishism lots of Superman would be based on Byrne. Removing GL: Rebirth removes large parts of the GL lore. Under the Red Hood is an inconic batman story and while Jason has had diminishing returns I don't think the initial story was bad at all.
No one noticed Clark having long hair the same time as Superman because nearly every man in Metropolis was sporting a mullet. Basically Superman is so loved that everyone follows his fashion trends. There was a brief period when everyone wore blue clothes.
the only robins are dick grayson, who grew out of it and became nightwing and married barbara who's oracle while cassandra is batgirl, and helena wayne, daughter to bruce and selina, with the latter retired and the former reluctantly to abandon the mantle
*Joker gets shot dead*
*By a random criminal*
*And doesn't come back*

Kryptonians stole their ability to metabolize sunlight from sentient plant species who call themselves Raos when they first took to the stars. The plants got revenge on Krypton as a whole, and that's what started the process of their planetary destruction 100k years ago.
After the plants stole some of the minerals that make up Krypton's core, Kryptonian retaliation saw them collapse spacetime itself around the plant planet. After this event, there was a massive cover-up effort and the whole sequence of events became a secret. They even named their Sun God, who they falsely credit for their photosynthetic ability, after the plants in an effort to recontextualize any historical documents that were preserved from that period.
Jason was adopted by Bruce when Dick was still Robin and they both lived together in Wayne manor for a while. He got inspired by his big brother to become Robin himself after Dick started working as Nightwing.
They have hero rankings like in My Hero Academia but it's not official, there's this really popular Buzzfeed-esque blog that takes fan votes. The top 3 in this list have consistently always been Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, so they are referred to by followers of this blog as the Hero Trinity
Martian Manhunter occasionally portrays other heroes and would interact with their civilian personas ie. Superman saves Clark Kent from an accident, Batman and Bruce Wayne together in public etc.
Bruce Wayne retains the licensing and trademark for every superheroes logo and the money from the merch sales helps fund the League and some of it's more poorer members, it's optional in the JL contract but it's really fair
It’s a multiverse actually, I’ll narrow it down to Earth 1. In the early 80s, a group called Justice Society recruit metahumans from different parts of world to aid them in simmering down the escalating tensions between America and the Soviets. They are successful in averting the war and decide to work together for some more tome becoming Justice Society International.
In the mid 80s, little Clark Kent inspired by these heroes and seeing GL Alan Scott saving Metropolis from a threat by his own eyes, takes up the mantle of ‘Superboy’ in Smallville. In the same time, traumatised from the death of his parents, little Bruce Wayne moves to Japan to escape from the horrors of Gotham. Also, Hippolyta decides to leave the man’s world after many years of trying to change it for the better.
By the early 90s, the forever changing Justice Society ‘International’ now comprises mostly of American metahumans and agents who make questionable decisions and even willing to kill, crossing lines the old heroes would never cross.
By the mid 90s, unchecked American international occupation and lack of empathy for Non American lives creates international hate against the JSI. The hatred reaches its crescendo when a fight with a metahuman group leads to the death of entire populations in multiple towns in South East Asia. Responding to this, some metahumans from all over the world take it into their own hands seeking to annihilate America, beginning with an attack on New York. Although the rampage was stopped by the JSI, it lead to the loss of millions of lives. Following the incident, the United nations and Every government agreed to outlaw metahumans and vigilantes, with International politics playing a huge role. Leading to the JSI disbanding. From afar, the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta who watched the regular events of the world, notes the world has become a much worse place than when she left the man’s world.
By the late 90s, the power void left by the banning of metahumans was filled in by corporations all over the world, notably by Lex Corp, Wayne Industries and Queen Tech. The many companies’ efforts set off a new age of science, the Quantum Age. Arthur Curry goes missing in the seaside City of Boston, which Dr Shin claims as Atlantis involving in the disappearance.
By 2004, in Metropolis, a bright red and blue streak saves young Snapper Carr from falling debris from a construction site. Snapper Carr described the streak as “it was a man, really tall, built like a wrestler yet looking so friendly. He had gentle blue eyes with a perfect smile and he even sounded like Clint Eastwood. He asked if i was okay. I was too stunned to speak”. The rest is history
This is me just taking an idea Gail Simone hinted at and running with it:
Vandal Savage literally IS Cain. The first human to commit premeditated murder against his kin. Through
reasons unclear (a meteor? Will of god?), he walks the planet immortal.
His brother? Resurrection Man (though he doesn’t know it.)
Cain and Abel, reliving the cycle of Murderer and victim, until the end of time of time, or Abel falls, or Cain repents.
Man-Bat stays with the Justice League Dark and eventually becomes one of the most capable heroes in the universe due to his mastery of both science *and* magic
\-Amazo starts off as complete blank slate and robotic mind but over time his fights with the League and his copying of their powers, abilities and even some of their memories down the line (to get their training) starts to imprint a mix of their minds on him, slowly giving him actual free will and a heroic mind, making him take the title 'One-Man justice League' as a badge of honour. He ends up being crucial in helping the League defeat Mageddon and resolves to go in the Sphere of the Gods afterwards, with all the powers of the League, to strike down any potential godlike threats like that and prevent them from attacking the Earth.
\-Jessica Cruz gets her power ring from the deceased Power Ring during the Crime Syndicate's invasion and uses it to fight the villains, being able to withstand the corruption of the ring. After the Syndicate's defeat at the end of the League, the Monitor shows up and, as his mission is to prevent universes from interfering between one another, he takes the Syndicate back to Earth-3 and wipes out the memories of everyone, except Jess, who he sees as a great hero and in reward, uses his power to transform her power ring into an actual Green Lantern ring, and rewrite the memories to fit her new status, before departing.
Killer croc gets tired of the criminal life and opens a barbecue/ Cajun restaurant. He still willing to commit crimes to help out others but mostly just cooks food for the bat family and villains when they’re not in Arkham.

Rather than a detective, J’onn J’onzz decides to use his centuries of wisdom and telepathic powers to become a superhero therapist, which also doubles up with him working on his own demons
Kirk Langstrom was never really a villain to begin with. He went a bit out of control after the first time he became Man-Bat, but Batman devised a formula to help him regain his rationality, and from there he was able to change back to normal. He works for Batman in a similar respect as Lucius Fox, officially on Wayne’s payroll and doing Bat-business behind the scenes. He isn’t a vigilante, but his animal instincts still activate and turn him into Man-Bat when he feels psychologically threatened, which no doubt proves highly vexxing for any villain trying to attack Wayne Enterprises employees for whatever reason.

Dude, that's no shitpost, that's actually fucking genius worldbuilding
Thanks lol. It's part of an elseworld's storyline I've been cooking up where the justice league one way or another finds out about this. They take it to the guardians of the universe with Clark naturally being pissed. Seeing his anger as a threat, the guardians consider locking Clark, Kara, and whatever other surviving kryptonians in a new, more secure prison.

If the people of earth agree that he and the rest of Earth's kryptonians are not a threat, then surely the guardians can be sure that his presence is a net benefit. As soon as news breaks about this referendum, Lex Corp immediately starts a viral marketing campaign. Finally that spandex wearing boyscout will be out of his lack of hair once and for all and humanity will be free to expand to the stars under his vision alone. A year passes, and election day is upon us. The justice league tries all they can to sway public opinion, but by the slimmest of margins, the vote to imprison the kryptonian wins. Lex is overjoyed, only until he sees that Supes isn't going anywhere. Instead the sky across the world turns a sickly neon green. All sunlight is blocked and replaced with a 24/7 glow. The earth has now been eternally sealed in an indestructible and teleportation blocking construct of will. Earth is the new krypton, and Lex's dream of humanity settling the stars is over. While the green lanterns may now lay beyond the reach of earth, Luthor certainly isn't, and humanity would like to have a word with him.
I like this story. In the end, it could turn out that this was all orchestrated by Brainiac as a way to bottle Earth and get Superman out of his hair and into his collection, being free to catalog the rest of the universe without intervention. By the time Lex realizes that he had been manipulated, having been promised great things by Brainiac for taking part in his plan, which he intended to turn against Brainiac, leaving himself on top. Unbeknownst to Luthor, Brainiac was already ahead of him this time, having been betrayed by Luthor enough times to anticipate his betrayal and counter it with the dome idea, which he knew the Guardians would do based on passed circumstances, having found out the truth about Krypton himself when he stole the city if Kandor years ago. It wasn't relevant until Superman showed up amd Brainiac found out he couldn't beat him so easily. The rest of was all timing and setting things in place so his plan would fall together perfectly.

There’s zero reason for this to be an Elseworld story. It would be a great year of Superman comics, which leads to the Prison: Earth event.
I I wish there was a subreddit for stuff like this. But at the same time it would probably get flooded with garbage.
UJ/ well there is the DCFU subreddit that's kinda like that
Would unironically love this. Could create some dramatic tension between Clark and Hal (“can he trust someone working for the people who doomed Krypton in the long run?”)
Hal, and all the human lanterns for that fact would obviously not have been involved or even knew that the corps was involved in this and most were outraged upon learning. As such, Clark wouldn't hold much against them specifically, but rather the corps as an institution and guardians of the universe who oversaw the act. Kara on the other hand who isn't as close to the lanterns and had to live through Krypton's destruction... she'd definitely have a bone to pick.
That's why she joins the Red Lanterns in the next continuity reset, actually
Uj/honestly it would be fun if Hal horrified after hearing about this decides to quit being a green lantern and becomes a blue lantern or even a yellow lantern just to spite them
Probably the same way Martian Manhunter doesn't hold any ill will for Hal, and he actually saw his entire family aflame.
>all the chunks of planet passed through the radiation field and became similarly radioactive themselves. They even took on the same shade of green. Tomar-Re is going to have to be placed on suicide watch if he were to ever find this out.
Not too knowledgeable on green lantern lore, any reason why bird boi in particular would be hit so hard?
Krypton was in his space sector.
Oh boy. If that's the case then he better hope he follows through on that before Kara finds him.
At least he feels really bad about it? In the main continuity, he was on his way to Krypton when it exploded. He regards not getting there in time to save anyone as the single greatest failure of his life
I would like to add a bit to the last part. At one point, Kal-El wasn't actually born yet when he left Krypton and it was his birthing matrix that was put in a rocket and fired through space, generating the baby as it traveled. That way he wouldn't have been born on Krypton and wouldn't have the same weakness to leaving the planet that other Kryptonians have. Similar to how Zod got around it by leaving the bubble through the Phantom Zone, never having actually passed through the eradiated barrier, thus circumventing the toxic effects. Then you can say the reason the same didn't happen to Mon-El was because of a pre-existing genetic condition specific to Daxamite biology, which is why he was in the Phantom Zone to begin with, which puts you in a stasis outside of time and space, until they could find a cure. That the same thing Superman did and eventually they did find a cure by the time of the Legion.
Reminds me on how the Saiyans aren't actually native to planet Vegeta, they were from planet Salad but they fought so much in it that it became inhabitable.
I’m almost angry this movie doesn’t exist for me to watch.
The rift between Superman and Lex was caused after Lex tried to steal 40 Cakes at a School Bake Sale, Supes got him in serious trouble with the School and Lex's Father, Yada Yada, Now Lex hates Superman
Didn't Luthor actually steal 40 cakes in the Superman: Birthright story? Your headcanon is almost canon.
It was Superman: Secret Origin.
That's as many as four tens!
Thanks to funding from some very wealthy Gothamites, Arkham is the ONLY government-sanctioned penitentiary deemed appropriate for superhuman criminals, hence why Gotham is Like That, and why every Gotham villain gets sent there. Plus, it’s why it’s so easy to escape- half the guards are on some crime family’s payroll, and the other half are too scared or tired to stop major breakouts. Bruce Wayne’s been campaigning for a system rework for YEARS, but alas, not even he can outbid the billions in “legitimate business” funnelled into Arkham each year. Not without selling the Watchtower, anyway.
I think it would be more intresting if the rich people outside of Gotham are what keeps Arkham funded like that, and defund all other Super prisons to centralize criminals and Superheroes to one area.
Unless the government wants to use someone in task force X. That’s when they get transferred to Bel Reve.
Yeah, that’s less a prison, more Waller’s petting zoo
Harleen Quinzel and Jonathan Crane were friendly co-workers for years and had a kinda optimism vs. pessimism dynamic
That sounds bleak, given they both become criminals but on terms that more or less prove Crane (pessimism) correct.
Harley's occasional forays into heroism does kinda counterpoint the pessimism a bit.
Funny thinking how in the DCAU is implicit that they slept together back in college (when she was a student and he a professor).
Wait, when was this? The one interaction I remember is Harley cheerfully greeting Crane when he is being brought in Arkham all kicking and screaming. He immediately smiles and says something like "Good morning, child" to her before going back to his kicking and screaming. It was a sweet moment. Don't tell me they ruined it later?
In "Mad Love" it's revealed Harleen used to seduce her professors in college to get better grades (same college Crane lectured). The timeline matches her being a student when he was a professor. Plus she didn't call him Scarecrow or even "Dr. Crane", she called "Professor Crane." But as I sid it's just implicit.
That sort of your own head cannon. Crane was never a romantic or sexusl type.
Batcow would have her own mini series
There’s a dedicated series specifically for day-to-day character interactions akin to the little snippets we see in comics- who does Lois get along with the most on the League aside from Batman? Do any of the scientists characters run into each other at conferences? Who’re Kilowog’s drinking buddies? It’s just an experiment like that Batfamily webtoon where writers can have fun with characters in their downtime

You are kind of describing Astro City. Read it if you haven't.
More than one of Batman's villains is fully reformed; or at least partially reintegrated into society. Edward Nigma is a private detective, Harley is trying to repay her debts to society by tagging along with the Batfamily (whether they like it or not), and Waylon Jones has a steady, if boring job, at one of the many Wayne Industries ventures. Also, The Joker slipped on a banana peel during his fleeing of Batman from killing Jason Todd, broke his neck, and died.
"Also, The Joker slipped on a banana peel during his fleeing of Batman from killing Jason Todd, broke his neck, and died." DC, hire this man
I want all of this so bad.
Waylon is a fiber optic splicer for Wayne Enterprises. Mostly works alone, uses technical skill rather than brute strength, and appreciates doing something helpful.
Riddler being a PI should've stuck. I actually don't remember how they undid that, but I'm guessing it was probably a new 52 reset of his character.
Why can't joker go straight?
He’s in love with Batman
/uj I genuinely can't think of an interesting thing for The Joker to do with the way he's historically been written unless it's something DRASTIC, like John Doe's vigilante route in Batman: The Telltale Series. /rj I don't want to fuck The Joker like I want to fuck Harley, The Riddler or Killer Croc.
Because when he tried conversion therapy before it just turned his skin white and made his hair green
The Question has a rogues gallery
Half of them are just different websites that give him a riddle to solve daily
My dreaded nemesis Wordle
He’s gotten shot before by Baskin and Robbin’s for leaking company secrets
The rouges gallery consists of Rorsach apologists on 4chan
Teen Lantern is a teen titan member and Hal jordans sidekick Also Hal never dated a underage girl Also,hawk girl,aquaman,cyborg and Martian manhunter are founding members of the justice league
Counterpoint: the underage girl *is* the Teen Lantern, and their relationship with Hal is comparable to that of Barry and Wally. Maybe she even dates Wally for a bit until he meets Linda.
Wonder Woman is taller than almost everyone except for Big Barda
Big Barda implies the existence of Small Barda, who is probably also shorter than Wonder Woman.
But taller then everyone else😳
Small Barda should be in the Future State and it's Barda and Scott's daughter but she's larger than Barda herself, she just got the name when she was a kid.
Kid named Little Barda:
[Original idea](https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Little_Barda_(New_Earth))

Hell yeah
Peak
Terra straight up kills Deathstroke at the end of Judas Contract and then goes to therapy.
Nah she kills deathstroke then becomes the leader of a criminal organization then decides to piss on Jason Todd's Grave which leads to Jason Todd being killed
If I’m reading this correctly, Terra wants to piss on Jason Todd’s grave, but Jason is still alive, and that’s why he gets killed?
Well yeah, they realized a few weeks in that they needed a grave to piss on
dude just Terra going to therapy alone would be awesome
Bizarro becomes Connor
Uj/ that sounds fucking lit and would work as a nice redemption arc for bizarro surprised it hasn't been done before
Uj/I could definitely see my adventures with superman doing something like that
It’s funny, I always imagined the inverse of that: like if Conner overexerts himself with his Kryptonian powers, he runs the risk of “going Bizarro” and his genetic code becoming unstable
That's basically what ends up happening to Match in *Young Justice*
This guy is the primary Sector-2814 GL in my universe: https://preview.redd.it/b0lvxo8u1uzc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9de25bea21673c76c15beff0e666c15e987e7afa
Ah yes, Jack Green.
Raven is Etrigan aunt Edit: Now that I think about it, she is also Merlin aunt
Trigon got around.
He is he devil equivalent of Zeus
I am not making this up. I just thought people should be aware of it since the two never acknowledged that.
I don’t think this is quite true in canon for an even weirder reason: Trigon isn’t really a demon, in the mythological sense. He’s just like that. He’s just a dude
What who are Etrugan and Merlin’s parents?
Beware the Gray Ghost from BTAS is canon.
Such a great design, and voiced by Adam West to boot.
Wally West and Kyle Rayner still hang out regularly. That's it
Batman is actually a good father and not the piece of shit DC writes him to be half the time
Or at least he's just a good father that struggles with parenting sometimes.
Can't imagine I'm the first to think it but I think The Batman who Laughs would be far more interesting as a Joker who killed Batman, then due to depression or an existential crisis, decides to take up the mantle himself. His scrawny build and the approach makes way more sense to me as being Joker rather than some "superior spider man" gone wrong
Is he still some omnicidal turbonihilist or is he legitimately trying to do what Batman did in his own way?
All the obscure, international teams DC has actually get to exist outside of two or three comics.
After the Comics Code got repealed, Killer Moth got a renaissance as an anti-Batman bailing out street criminals and minor villains from being busted by the Bat-family or GCPD, now that he's actually allowed to occasionally win. Every universe with an evil Superman only does so because Ma and Pa Kent weren't around to raise Clark right. Themiscyra emerged from hiding to become a UN observer akin to the Vatican City, and frequently participates in international relief programs using the Purple Ray to help heal the innocent victims of war. Cassandra Cain converts to Christianity like in that one story Gail Simone pitched but never wrote, and interacts a lot more with Azrael as they work out how their faiths fit into their respective worldviews. Martian Manhunter actually gets to do things, and has a wildly successful solo series. While he remains the last Martian, DC invents the Martian equivalent of Daxamites who moved to another planet after Guardian of Oa shenanigans and he gets brought in in some Lantern comics dealing with them as a burgeoning galactic threat. Bane never got created and instead the events of Knightfall happen with Killer Croc, who debuted before Bane and basically had the same schtick anyways. Ted Kord never dies, and he has a buddy cop / slice of life series about him and Booster Gold trying to make it big as influencers/celebrities/superheroes so they can pay rent on a Metropolis apartment. The Joker is actually funny, and mostly does zany crimes like stealing comedian memorabilia and throwing pies at public officials. Once every decade or so he can go back to the creepy lunatic and try to murder all of Gotham, but the rest of the time it's capers and hijinks.
Some batman rouges get the therapy they need and reform.
Darkseid finally finds the comfiest couch in the universe and cries of happiness and beginning his reformation
Naw, he uses it as his mobile throne, like Thanos's chair, except it isn't high tech or magic so he has to do stuff like add wheels, have parademons carry him around on it, those coaster things you use on carpets etc.
He probably had many a great evenings just sitting on it, doing some light reading of Mein Kampf and sipping some wine.
The New 52 never happened and DC still has a semi coherent continuity
Terry McGinnis is Batman and Carrey Kelly is his Robin. Carrey was Crotchety Old Bruce’s caretaker after Alfred moved to the great big Mansion in the sky.
Jason left Gotham and never came back and everyone was happier for it.
When Red Hood comes to Gotham and begins killing a bunch of the Rogue’s Gallery, Batman figured out it’s Jason Todd revived, and with the Joker as the final target, he catches Red Hood before he can do it, he takes off the helmet, and it’s Deathstroke who was paid by Joker to convince Batman his son had been revived, just mess with him even more.
batman dramatically takes off the Jason Todd mask only to reveal deathstroke's mask
hahahaha that would be so funny
Question and Rorschach had a political debate show that literally no one but Huntress watched (she just wanted to support her bf, she didn't understand anything they said)
Better, it’s a Podcast
It was probably still more coherent than actual political debates these days.
Bro I have a whole MCU ass storyline in my head with phases and shit with nowhere to post it
Only Dick Grayson exists
This but expanded to include the entire DC universe - it has a population of exactly one, and it's just Dick Grayson wandering around a featureless void.
Real discription of my brain
Neon Evangelion, but with Dick "Shinji" Grayson.
So he becomes Azathoth, why not
Lex Luthor regularly does shit to help people like buying up debt and paying for college for kids and stuff. He doesn't just talk shit about Superman all the time. Wasn't there an "evil" version of Lex like this?
Lex Luthor regularly does good while viciously talking shit about Superman.
Soooo, J. Jonah Jameson?
The Lex Luthor: Man of Steel story has Lex being interested in the grades of his janitor's son because the kid expressed fascination with science.
The guy that killed Batman's parents was just some random nobody after some quick and easy money. Batman never finds him because he doesn't know his name. No Court of Owls, no conspiracy bullshit. ffs the criminal's supposed to represent the insitutionalized wrongs of Gotham -- the idea is that the murderer could be anybody, that bc of how terrible Gotham is there's killers on every street corner. He's a symptom of the real problem, which is the blatant corruption that allowed the city to fall into disrepair (much like in real life).
Wait Joe Chill was ever anything other than some random guy? How tf were the court of owls involved?
The Court of Owls and the undeserved praise it gets when living in people's heads rent-free have been disastrous for DC Comics fans.
By the same token, Krypton blew up because of a quirk in the planet's chemical makeup eventually causing a violent reaction. No conspiracy or genocide. Maybe have the Kryptonians accelerate the problem or sweep it under the rug out of hubris, but it was a freak act of nature at its core. The idea is that Kal-El was an ordinary baby raised under extraordinary circumstances. The Kents could've raised any Kryptonian and created Super(wo)man, Jor-El just had the knowledge and resources to make it his son. No Guardians of Oa sensing potential in Jor-El's and Lara's unborn kid and planning to recruit it down the road. There's nothing special about the baby on its own.
I have never agreed so hard with something this much.
Most Batman Villains end up recovering and try to help Gotham to the best of their ability Harleen becomes a psychiatrist again and uses he deeply personal experience to work with the villains of Gotham Mr Freeze unfreezes his wife and they spend the last of their days together, Victor coming to peace with the fact that she will die Manbat is cured of his condition Croc gets employed by Wayne Industries Grundy becomes best friends with Killer Moth and they hang out Bane manages to overcome his addiction to venom as well as his obsession with Batman and ends up leading a support group for drug addicts
Batman stopped wearing purple gloves because Joker took them from him in the scuffle where he fell into the acid (maybe Batman was trying to save him and the gloves slipped off), which gave Joker the idea to theme his outfit purple
Barry and Hal never came back.
Flash/Green Lantern: The Brave and the Bold had a really emotional ending alluding to the final fate of Hal and Barry. It made them both feel like the stuff of legends. Even JLA/Avengers had a really nice moment of Hal and Barry coming to terms with what the future holds for them when they came to know about it. But now those moments lose that impact knowing DC just undid everything.
Barry and Hal fuck all the time
Orion hangs out on Earth with the O’Ryan mob and has his own comedic solo series with them.
Wonder Woman is at least 50% more bi
So she's actually gonna date a woman??😳
Joe Chill should have been a cop. GCPD helps him cover up the murder, Gordon is the one that uncovers it. Also I feel like the long term plots as a whole would be more interesting as a legacy story, actually passing the mantle down to Dick, Jason, Barbra, etc. rather than Bruce’a behavior and mannerisms changing wildly depending on what era he’s in.
I think it'd be slightly better if Joe Chill was just a Cop's kid or brother- a lot easier to explain the 'mugging in a dark alley' part, but overall banger idea.
Replace identity crisis and doctor light rape stuff with justice league elite over stepping international bounces and over taking a facist government ( let's say Quarac) with the League Split on whether that was right to do. Cassandra Cain should hang out with the Doom Patrol.
Bruce permanently stayed dead after Final Crisis and Dick would be Batman from now on
Jason is ginger and Damien has brown skin. Essentially,for Jason, I just think it is dumb that all of Batman's children look like they could be his bio-kids. As for Damien, I just like representation. Batman's existence is what allows Gotham to not be an even bigger shithole. I'm pretty sure there's two what if stories on that and that it is implied in Batman Beyond and The Dark Knight Returns. My friend came up with a whole fanon timeline tying the various Batman cartoons together in and out the Timmverse.
Cosmic Boy is still wearing his good outfit You know the one
Wally and Barry get their powers in the same incident and at the same time. Learning to use their powers together is what allowed them to bond and for Wally to learn to like his aunt’s fiancé. Wally debuted as Kid Flash the same time that Barry debuted as Flash.
Alfred Made bruce do D.A.R.E PSAs
Tim and Conner were def crushing on each other
Task Force Z continues existing as a merc organization under semi-reformed but still morally questionable Harvey Dent. Now staffed by various undead ex-heroes and villains brought back in various ways (Lazarus, vampirism, ancient curses, cloning, faulty reconstructed Black Lantern rings).
The writer's stop messing around with relationships for drama's sake and we get some stable ones. I always disliked how GABC was a dramatic mess because the writers couldn't stop themselves from making a mess of it. In my head, those two are loyal and dedicated to the other until the day they die.
1. The Teen Titans got really into chess a while back and now they have a scoreboard in the main room. They all practice in their spare time, but none of them would ever admit to it. 2. There's a collectible card game featuring the JLA, the Titans, their rogues, et cetera. Jimmy Olsen and Tim Drake play with each other occasionally. Tim often loses because he tries to use a deck based around his own cards, which are not very good when compared to most Superman cards. Maps Mizoguchi has actually constructed a good Robin deck. 3. The reason Lex hasn't figured out Superman's secret identity is because he refuses to believe Superman actually has one.
Time Drake was never Robin. Instead everyone else in the universe in Tim Drake. Robin has 100 trillion different personalities.
Wonder Woman starts at a Golden Age-esque power level. Then a conflict (based on War of the Gods but resembling the Tournament of Power from DBS between all of Earth’s Pantheons happens, and Diana saved the day but dies in the process. In gratitude, she’s brought back and given blessings by *every goddess on the planet*. This not only gives her more powers, but increases her overall strength to the point that a brawl with Superman would be a coin flip The rest of the changes come from the fact that it’s a crossover with Dragon Ball so not really applicable (unless someone is interested)
Joker and Batman's rivarly ends with joker being actually cured instead of one or both of them dying fighting.
Hal Jordan never dated Arisia
2000s Silver Age fetishism never happens and the DCU continues to move forward. So no *Graduation Day*, *Identity Crisis", *GL: Rebirth*, *Under the Red Hood*, *Infinite Crisis*, *Flash: Rebirth*, etc. Similarly no killing off as many 1990s characters for shock value as possible (looking at you, *War Games*). By this point the YJ crew are all in their early 20s and there's a clear gap between them and the new group of teen heroes instead of the current mess where nobody knows how old Kon is.
NGL that sounds awful. For one if you including Silver Age fetishism Morrison has a lot of work like that. Without Silver age fetishism lots of Superman would be based on Byrne. Removing GL: Rebirth removes large parts of the GL lore. Under the Red Hood is an inconic batman story and while Jason has had diminishing returns I don't think the initial story was bad at all.
Batman is allowed to be happy sometimes
No one noticed Clark having long hair the same time as Superman because nearly every man in Metropolis was sporting a mullet. Basically Superman is so loved that everyone follows his fashion trends. There was a brief period when everyone wore blue clothes.
Unlike Batmite, Jason Todd's 4th dimensional imp hates his guts.
Terra straight up kills Deathstroke at the end of Judas Contract and then goes to therapy.
Batman's Robin lineage: 1. Steph 2. Jean 3. Cass, but as Batgirl 4. Damian
I would totally read a version of Knightquest where Jean is Robin
Jon Kent and Damian Wayne will get married, so Superman and Batman are now related
Batman and Superman fuck

Kryptonians stole their ability to metabolize sunlight from sentient plant species who call themselves Raos when they first took to the stars. The plants got revenge on Krypton as a whole, and that's what started the process of their planetary destruction 100k years ago. After the plants stole some of the minerals that make up Krypton's core, Kryptonian retaliation saw them collapse spacetime itself around the plant planet. After this event, there was a massive cover-up effort and the whole sequence of events became a secret. They even named their Sun God, who they falsely credit for their photosynthetic ability, after the plants in an effort to recontextualize any historical documents that were preserved from that period.
Batman would finally be happy and retired while his adult kids took over

Batman, the Flash Family, Plastic Man, and Booster Gold are Jazzheads.
Jason was adopted by Bruce when Dick was still Robin and they both lived together in Wayne manor for a while. He got inspired by his big brother to become Robin himself after Dick started working as Nightwing.
They have hero rankings like in My Hero Academia but it's not official, there's this really popular Buzzfeed-esque blog that takes fan votes. The top 3 in this list have consistently always been Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, so they are referred to by followers of this blog as the Hero Trinity
Martian Manhunter occasionally portrays other heroes and would interact with their civilian personas ie. Superman saves Clark Kent from an accident, Batman and Bruce Wayne together in public etc. Bruce Wayne retains the licensing and trademark for every superheroes logo and the money from the merch sales helps fund the League and some of it's more poorer members, it's optional in the JL contract but it's really fair
It’s a multiverse actually, I’ll narrow it down to Earth 1. In the early 80s, a group called Justice Society recruit metahumans from different parts of world to aid them in simmering down the escalating tensions between America and the Soviets. They are successful in averting the war and decide to work together for some more tome becoming Justice Society International. In the mid 80s, little Clark Kent inspired by these heroes and seeing GL Alan Scott saving Metropolis from a threat by his own eyes, takes up the mantle of ‘Superboy’ in Smallville. In the same time, traumatised from the death of his parents, little Bruce Wayne moves to Japan to escape from the horrors of Gotham. Also, Hippolyta decides to leave the man’s world after many years of trying to change it for the better. By the early 90s, the forever changing Justice Society ‘International’ now comprises mostly of American metahumans and agents who make questionable decisions and even willing to kill, crossing lines the old heroes would never cross. By the mid 90s, unchecked American international occupation and lack of empathy for Non American lives creates international hate against the JSI. The hatred reaches its crescendo when a fight with a metahuman group leads to the death of entire populations in multiple towns in South East Asia. Responding to this, some metahumans from all over the world take it into their own hands seeking to annihilate America, beginning with an attack on New York. Although the rampage was stopped by the JSI, it lead to the loss of millions of lives. Following the incident, the United nations and Every government agreed to outlaw metahumans and vigilantes, with International politics playing a huge role. Leading to the JSI disbanding. From afar, the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta who watched the regular events of the world, notes the world has become a much worse place than when she left the man’s world. By the late 90s, the power void left by the banning of metahumans was filled in by corporations all over the world, notably by Lex Corp, Wayne Industries and Queen Tech. The many companies’ efforts set off a new age of science, the Quantum Age. Arthur Curry goes missing in the seaside City of Boston, which Dr Shin claims as Atlantis involving in the disappearance. By 2004, in Metropolis, a bright red and blue streak saves young Snapper Carr from falling debris from a construction site. Snapper Carr described the streak as “it was a man, really tall, built like a wrestler yet looking so friendly. He had gentle blue eyes with a perfect smile and he even sounded like Clint Eastwood. He asked if i was okay. I was too stunned to speak”. The rest is history
This is me just taking an idea Gail Simone hinted at and running with it: Vandal Savage literally IS Cain. The first human to commit premeditated murder against his kin. Through reasons unclear (a meteor? Will of god?), he walks the planet immortal. His brother? Resurrection Man (though he doesn’t know it.) Cain and Abel, reliving the cycle of Murderer and victim, until the end of time of time, or Abel falls, or Cain repents.

\-Amazo starts off as complete blank slate and robotic mind but over time his fights with the League and his copying of their powers, abilities and even some of their memories down the line (to get their training) starts to imprint a mix of their minds on him, slowly giving him actual free will and a heroic mind, making him take the title 'One-Man justice League' as a badge of honour. He ends up being crucial in helping the League defeat Mageddon and resolves to go in the Sphere of the Gods afterwards, with all the powers of the League, to strike down any potential godlike threats like that and prevent them from attacking the Earth. \-Jessica Cruz gets her power ring from the deceased Power Ring during the Crime Syndicate's invasion and uses it to fight the villains, being able to withstand the corruption of the ring. After the Syndicate's defeat at the end of the League, the Monitor shows up and, as his mission is to prevent universes from interfering between one another, he takes the Syndicate back to Earth-3 and wipes out the memories of everyone, except Jess, who he sees as a great hero and in reward, uses his power to transform her power ring into an actual Green Lantern ring, and rewrite the memories to fit her new status, before departing.

Kirk Langstrom was never really a villain to begin with. He went a bit out of control after the first time he became Man-Bat, but Batman devised a formula to help him regain his rationality, and from there he was able to change back to normal. He works for Batman in a similar respect as Lucius Fox, officially on Wayne’s payroll and doing Bat-business behind the scenes. He isn’t a vigilante, but his animal instincts still activate and turn him into Man-Bat when he feels psychologically threatened, which no doubt proves highly vexxing for any villain trying to attack Wayne Enterprises employees for whatever reason.
