ONE. MUST. DIE.
Could it even happen?
So could something like this happen? In the current environment, probably not. Former DC co-publisher Dan Didio squashed the idea of it at San Diego Comic-Con in 2017 calling the crossovers a "last resort," noting that they previously only happened because the comic book industry was in bad shape.
"Each company felt that they couldn't support themselves, they had to work together to create a product that created enough energy and interest for the fan base at the time," Didio said at the time. "I would rather put that creative energy just in our characters rather than working on a story with Marvel characters. And the shame of it, honestly, is there were certain things created in that mix-up, that mash-up, that were quite exciting but can never be revisited again without the cooperation between the two companies."
Though Didio is no longer part of the decision making at DC Comics, having been fired earlier this year, the likelihood of such a crossover still seems like a pipe dream. In the years since JLA/Avengers, Marvel was bought outright by The Walt Disney Company and the WB owned DC Comics is now property of AT&T. For these two universes to even meet again it would require two major corporations and a lot of lawyers coming to agree on many terms.
Even if it can't happen, what would you like to see in a new version of a Marvel vs DC crossover? Should Lobo put the beat down on Wolverine this time? Could the Green Lanter get the better of the Silver Surfer? Will The Hulk take down Superman? Sound off with your thoughts below!
