And despite the rumors, there are actually plans to bring them back now that the multiverse is back in existence, as the upcoming "JSA: Earth 2" Annual proves :D

"Not only do they have Elseworlds, but in the past they also had short stories in some comics called." Just Imagine".I remember part of one story in particular "Just Imagine if the Waynes had adopted Kal-El""
Read the Elseworlds page...
the "Just Imagine..." stories stopped with "Whatever happened to the man of tomorrow?"
the story where Kal-El was adopted by the Wayne's was actually an Elseworld called "Speeding Bullets"

"Actually Methos... the Elseworld story is not the one I read...I remember the Just Imagine story because Superman still became Superman and saved the Waynes from death at the hands of the mugger. It was a short inside another DC comic."
huh, i'll have to dig that out then :D

Many of the original What If's didn't really change the whole Universe and had only mininmal impact on the Marvel Universe. Extreme changes really could have taken place but you would need more room than one oversized comic to illustrate the impact. I would rather see a whole story arc detailing the changes. In a series of books I read ( cause I am a big fan of alternate timelines), time was describe as a great river.. toss in a pebble and you may make a few ripples but the course is still the same, but build a dam and you change everything ( Time Wars series by Simon Hawke.

An Elseworld regular series would be great.
But there is a regular series playing with What if.... or what happens..? : BOOSTER GOLD !!!
There so many What if storys in the past of DC Comics
There was a story where Batman married Lois Lane in ...Action Comics?? ( know only the german version)
or What if Kara & Jor-El came to earth instead of Ka-El (Lara adopted by the Lanes & Jor adopted by the Clarks)
and there was a story about a future Superman, crow up as the son of a General
and don´t forget the storys about Superman JR. and Batman JR.
or The ARMAGGEDON Annual X-Overs, The Elseworld One-Shots
I would like to see a Collected Tradepaperpack with all What if.. Storys from the past
without any Elseworld One-shots.
It was cool to see the Superman Jr.&Batman Jr. Tradepaperpack

I've never been a fan of What If...? or Elseworlds stories. They may start as good ideas, but they're usually badly executed and always seem to have a depressingly bad ending. The only exception I can think of was JLA: The Nail.
So, no... I don't think there should be new Elseworlds or Just Imagines. I can't believe Marvel are scraping the bottom of the barrell with a new batch of What If? solicited for December :p

DC & Grant Morrison start a new Elsworlds Mini Serie called MULTIVERSITY !! coming soon!
What if..?? wasn´t ever with a bad ending, but the story goes to the end without ..to be continue..
I liked the 2006 issue with Namor :
Sub-Mariner being raised by his father on the surface during World War II
Great Art and a good story !
