Should DC Bring Back Showcase to Showcase Different Universes/Time Periods/Storylines That Were Dropped?

I find myself missing the pre-Crisis and post-Crisis (pre-New 52) versions of the DC Characters and feel that Convergence, as silly as a lot of it was, was a nice romp through different eras.

I’d love to see DC bring back the old Showcase series but each book or arc is set in a different timeline or version of the DC Universe. They could easily explain in the first panels where this is and we can dive into some Flashpoint stories, pre-Crisis, some of the old “imaginary” Superman stories, Batman Brave & Bold team-ups continuing the spirit of those old books, Booster Gold in time, maybe close off some storylines that went nowhere when we jumped ahead a year or New 52 was created, etc. Even if it was just released digitally only as a DCU exclusive, how much fun would this be?

What an amazing concept! I would love it just so Johns could finish what he set up in his Booster Gold series, particularly who Black Beetle really was.

@mike.29596 Such a great idea. I’d love to see this happen and hopefully more comment on this thread and the right folks see it and get it to print! Gives everyone a chance to follow or check in with whomever they want. Better than the rumored 5G situation.

Sounds to me, you simply miss continuity. It’s hard to stay engaged and interested in a character when they change every six months.

Maybe a Showcase title would work.
