You mean like Earth One? Or New 52 Earth 2?

they're already edgy enough

Fuck off Didio

>DC Ultimate
Flash dies, is replaced by black Wally West, who's thrust into the main timeline after the Ultimate universe is over

>Marvel New 52
Spider-Man brings in Miles Morales as his sidekick, Spider-Kid

Black Arachnid is a cooler name.

Ultimate DC universe should be lighter and more wacky to contrast with the current state of the mainline DC universe.

Also, no rehashing plot lines from the mainline DC universe.

>tfw this image always brings back bad memories of when you as a writing exercise made an entire DC Ultimate universe based off that canned Gotham High idea
>Bruce was an impatient college kid that ended his training early to become Batman, which meant he was inexperienced and ill-prepared for his war on crime, relying on the guidance of Alfred to survive and picking up teenage hanger-on Barbara Gordon as his sidekick despite his disapproval
>Clark was a pacifist teenager terrified of violence because he accidentally killed a wolf as a child and was traumatized by how he could hear and see its body shut down, and only became Superman after Jimmy Olson learned his secret and egged him into it to save Metropolis from an alien invasion
>Wonder Woman was an automaton created by the technologically advanced Amazons three thousand years ago, but was sabotaged the night before the Greeks raided Themyscera and slaughtered its people. She was reactivated by archaeologist Steve Trevor and became an unwilling member of man's world, learning to behave like a person from him and the Justice League since her creator-mother never got the chance to raise her.
>The Justice Society all died on a secret mission in WW2 fighting a Nazi mad scientist, except Ted Grant who would go on to train Bruce and Dinah Lance. In the modern day, Amanda Waller cloned the dead members and conscripted them into her Task Force X as a meta team to bring down threats to the United States covertly. i.e. they were that world's Suicide Squad, and their primary foe was Wildcat himself coming out of retirement to try and save his friends from Waller before succumbing to his chronic heart disease
I still kind of wanna do it

You're not talking about an Ultimate Universe then. It should be darker, filled with cannibalism, and story wise just be a greatest hits album of the main universe until they run out of hits and everything falls apart.

That's the New 52 then.

>Zack Snyder's ultimate DC comics

This pic was actually about a ultimate DC concept. Look it up you'll find what you seek.

These all actually sound pretty good, user. I'd read them.

I would love Ultimate DC. Just don't change things that don't need changing, like The Luthor couple

We fucking have the new 52. Already been done.

It's called Injustice.

>"I don't want to be black Spider-Man."
>wears a black Spider-Man outfit
>calls himself Black Arachnid
>Peter tries to figure out a tactful way to tell him these facts

They go all the way with new 52

They kept all the Robins. For example

New 52.

The 2000s were the real "dark and edgy" era of comics
Identity Crisis, Ultimates and Civil War

I had this issue of Wizard. As I recall, it was a weak "Earth One" type pitch, except with a weird midget J'onn.

You mean Earth 1?

I understand that, but do we really want something edgier than current DC? New 52 had issues but compared to what we have now, it was a wholesome Saturday morning cartoon.

I would read this!

You mean Kingdom Come?

New 52 kind of felt like an edgier version of the original DC universe anyway

Is it a coincidence that arachnid and a black kid rhyme? Stan Lee always wanted spider-man to be black confirmed

Jesus that Superman wolf thing. That's fucking brilliant actually.

>Marvel New 52
Spider-man and MJ are de-married by the universe rebooting. Later the original 616 Spider-Man and MJ are brought back still married, given a daughter, Annie, and are transferred over to the new universe, and New Peter and MJ are eventually killed off so old Peter and MJ can take over their lives. Everything looks stable until some hack from DC comes over, takes Annie away from Peter and MJ and ages her up to 18 by having her tortured in another universe. Also, Peter and MJ separate while still meeting up to have sex with MJ telling people she's cheating on Peter with Spider-man.

Wasn't that what All-Star was supposed to be?

So Wonder Woman is Alita?
