11 Books That Would Make The DCnU Better

Lex Luthor

A lot of pepole think that villain books cant work because nobody wants to read about bad pepole. Well I disagree. People love bad guys. People love Tony Montana, people love Darth Vader, pepole love Walter White, pepole love the Joker and pepole love Lex Luthor. Do you know why? Because they don't give a f$%k. It's wish fulfillment. If some one tells these guys they cant do something, well they just go ahead and do it anyway just for badness, if they want something they take down anybody that stands in there way. Remember when Action Comics used to be about Lex? That was hella awesome and it's about time we had that once more.

Cyborg & The Metal Men

A lot of pepole have been crying out for a Cyborg ongoing ever since it turned out he would be the only founding Justice League member without one and I think since he's going to be teaming up with the Metal Men in Forever Evil, now would be a good time to just make it an official thing. The Metal Men would bring a shared mythos to the book making Cyborgs world seem bigger. I think they could be A.R.G.U.S's team thathunts down technology that should be in the Red Room

Martian Manhunter

J'onn J'ozz is hella cool but we see far to much of him in a team setting IMO so it's about time DC let's him stretch his legs. I would love to see Martian Manhunter do what he's meant to do and actually hunt men. J'onn is a cop, a detective and that's what he should be doing in a solo. DC could even spin his book out of an event if they wanted. Have the White Martians secretly invade earth and since they can make themselves look like anyone or anything J'onn's job is to hunt them down.

SHAZAM!

Billy Batson is far to popular and has too big a mythos to leave out at this point. Geoff Johns has already built the foundations with the Curse of SHAZAM! and it's time to expand upon that with his own ongoing featuring him and his family.

Zatanna

John Constantine does not need nor should he have ever had a New 52 ongoing, nor should he be leading the Justice League Dark for that matter. John doesn't like America, he doesn't like superheroes and he doesn't even like fighting, hell he's probably never won a fist fight in his life, Hellbalzer should have never been cancelled. If they have to have him in the DCnU then fine but they need to stop treating him like Wolverine. Zatanna on the other hand should of had an ongoing from the very start. Shes one of DC's oldest and most popular heroines and she should be leading JLD as well as spearheading the magical corner of the DCU also it couldn't hurt to have a few more female led books.

Young Justice

I don't mean a direct copy from the tv show but since the Teen Titans book hasn't been great maybe they should try a new approach for the younger characters. Nightwing's identity being compromised means he's going to have to lay low for a while so why not put him in to a mentor position? He could train up some young heroes and send them out on missions Batman Beyond style. We could have some of the current Teen Titans members as well as Static, Blue Beetle and even Wally and Cassy if it all pans out well when they are introduced.

The Question

I'm still not 100% sure on the direction they have took the Question in the DCnU so far however an Occult Noir mystery book could be pretty awesome if they do it right. Also I'm pretty surprised that the most interesting character out of the Trinity of Sin still doesn't have an ongoing, conspiracy? Well that's the question, isn't it?

Doom Patrol

The Doom Patrol is full of freaks, weirdo's and losers and guess what? That's awesome. Everybody loves the underdog and the Doom Patrol are underdogs if I'v ever saw one. DC needs to reinvigorate there teen books and I think the Doom Patrol would add the right balance of weirdness and fun that it seems to be lacking.

Schools of Magic

I love Tim Hunter. He was a great character when Neil Gaiman first invented him and he's a great character now even after JK Rowling ripped him of to make Harry Potter. Tim Hunter used to be in a line of Vertigo books called 'of Magic. There was Books of Magic, Names of Magic and the Age of Magic and I want to add to that by having a book in the DCnU called the Schools of Magic. In the Vertigo books Tim attended a multi-dimensional school for magic called the White School, I think it would be a great idea to bring this in to the New 52 with a large cast of magic using teen characters like Tim Hunter, Traci 13, Black Alice, Klarion and Jakeem Thunder. Zatanna is the ideal choice as headmistress.

New Gods

DC have already started to expand there cosmic line beyond the Lantern Corps with Justice League United but I think they could so so much more with it and the starting point with that IMO is the New Gods. The New Gods are the most unique cosmic character DC has at there disposal and I would love to see more of them. Get Azzarello on the book and have him explore the back ground of the eternal war between New Genisis and Apokolips and we could even have some dimension hopping fun with the boom tubes.
