Like the title says, if you could choose one thing to change drastically with the DC Universe reboot, what would you change?

Me, I would undo Cry for Justice. Roy would keep his arm and his daughter. The Titans would never break up, and Robin, Speedy (Lian), and Impulse would start a new Young Justice.

What would you change?

Hrrrm....THe champion for Brightest day would not be Swamp Thing But rather another character that can't be said to be used because Johns is trying to ride the coattails of another Writer.

OH and again : Infinite Earths...No 52 garbage. Just Infinite Possibilities.

I don't know about one thing I'd change, but I do know that I'd keep the current Batgirl series as close to what it currently is as is possible given what all the other changes in the DCU turn out to be.

Jason Todd back to being the lethal force using anti-hero he was becoming instead of the "insane" Red Hood seen in Batman & Robin. Everything that happened to him during 52, and even in the Battle for the Cowl, and then they messed everything up after that. I want that changed.

That they'd bring back All-Star Squadron and do whatever it takes to patch things up with Roy Thomas so that he'd write it.

How cool would this lineup be:

JLA:
Batman (Bruce)
Superman
Wonder Woman
Flash (Barry)
Green Lantern (Hal)
Aquaman
Martian Manhunter
Green Arrow
Black Canary
Blue Devil
Hawkman
Hawkgirl
Zatanna
Deathstroke (heck yes)

Titans:
Batman (Dick)
Supergirl
Jade
Jesse Quick
Flash (Wally)
Red Arrow
Donna Troy
Cyborg
Starfire
Tempest
Jericho
Beast Boy
Raven
Mon-El

Teen Titans:
Red Robin
Wonder Girl
Superboy
Kid Flash
Ravager
Miss Martian
Aqualad
Speedy (Mia)
Batgirl (Stephanie)
Aquagirl (Lorena)
Blue Beetle
Kid Devil
Static
Zatara

Young Justice:
Robin (Damien)
Chris Kent (unaged from the phantom zone, The BoyBlunder's idea)
Red Hood (Lian)
Impulse (Isis)
Darkstar (son of Donna Troy)
Nighstar (Daughter of Starfire and Nightwing)
Aquagirl (Daughter of Tempest and Tula)

First thing that comes to mind is to make it so Superboy Prime never happened and never will again.

That is so the opposite of what I was thinking.

Now, if you said his reality punching ability was taken away, that'd be different. Not by much, but still, different.

No more lantern corps that are not green.

I'd pull an Earth 1 Earth 2 deal.

If I were trying to acomplish what DC is trying to, I'd cancel all the titles that are being cancelled, consolidate and streamline the Core DCU, preserving the continuity of all the core titles there, and I'd create an "Earth 3" let's call it, where everything would start from #1, would include all the acquired characters from Wildstorm & Milestone along with the rebooted titles and new series launches. I'd also leave room in that new DCU for the top tier characters, but other than team books, I wouldn't relaunch them in that world, I'd just have Superman show up in Justice League etc and not rewrite his backstory.

This would Shrink the titles it would take to keep up with the classic universe, and give the writers a whole new world to play around in. Since the DCU is a multiverse, it wouldn't be inconvienient, and they wouldn't have to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

It's a pretty big core thing. But that's what I'd do. (I know you meant one little thing, but honestly, to me its the big picture that matters, I'm more of a fan of the DCU as a whole than I am any small part of it, which is why this reboot is so disturbing to me)

I would exclude Detective and Action from the rebooted line-up so that they would continue on with their #ing.
I'll (likely) never have a real Action Comics #1. I'm OK with that. But I've always thought it'd be pretty cool to hold Action #1000.
And until these idiots took control of things that was possible.
{yes, I know, in 4 years & 1month they'll re-number their new "Action" so they can celebrate it as issue 1k. But it won't be the same.}

Yes, I'd wrap up the current arcs in each in the allotted time span.
And then I'd change their formats slightly.
Action would still be a "Superman" title.
Detective would still be a "Batman" title.
But each would feature self contained, unrelated, stories - be they a single issue, or several issues long. Any style. Afterall, they've published plenty of Superman & Batman 1Shots and Mini-series over the years, and they'll keep on doing so.... So why not just do so under these two banners?

if i could change any 1 thing within the DC universe, i would





ps. i dont like dc if you cant tell












pps. Lobo will be saved

That's right. Oh I would also have The Sentry Cross over..... (O.K. even I can't finish that thought)

Hal Jordan remains dead.

Before this spirals into a thread completely about how much Hal Jordan sucks and the Skittle Corps are the dumbest idea evar, let's just image that the GL books are no longer in print, though the events in the books are still happening somewhere out there (that way the fans that want something to be happening are happy, and the non-fans that don't want to see any of it are also happy).
