Marvel Axis and what DC is doing to Lex is pretty amazing, but unfortunate it won't last long. For years we seen are favorite heroes go against our favorite villains and occasionally the villain becomes heroic and the hero becomes villainy for a short, but what if it wasn't for a short time? Why not have the turn a new leaf and work with their arch nemesis and bring in new villains to take up their old mantle.Then after a while have a big event that cause them to fall from grace and go back to their evil ways. As for the hero switching here is an example( This is just an example and nothing more so do take it literal) . Batman starts to release beating up the bad guys and throwing them in jail isn't working anymore, and the only way to truly clean up and protect Gotham is to permanently put them down. Some of the people of Gotham, and his some of allies don't agree with this and try to return him to his sense, but he determine to purge Gotham and warns them to help him or get put down. With his allies now against him Bruce turns to Ra's and finally admits he was right and that he is now ready to succeeded him, he does and he becomes the Bat-Demon. Of course someone else would take the mantle of Batman and the epic fight could last until Bruce see the errors of his way and go on a redemption arc(again just an example). I feel stuff like this could brig in more stories and be a very interesting path to take. What are your thoughts?
