I have to be that guy. Isn’t that the X-Men?

I agree just alone a story with Superman being raised by the Amazons would be amazing. His interactions with the Amazons and how he develops as a hero from him growing up there is interesting enough for me. Have him leave Themiscyra to man’s world and be a hero there like wonder woman did and I think we have a multi volume series there.

Yeah, but even if it is, it would still be interesting to see how different dc heroes cope with that.

We saw that once before. Scarecrow had captured batman and his chemicals showed Batman a man who had suffered as he did, losing his parents to street crime. But this man used his family fortune to open job centers for underprivileged kids, he married a woman he loved and adopted several children and championed funding for the police and fire departments serving his community better then a vigilante. batman was not impressed.

Or, and this is me spitballing, Supergirl’s pod crashes on Themyscira and she is raised by the Amazons. Now we saw her trained by them for a few months in one story line, but image the Kryptonian cutie being raised from preteenhood by the Amazons. The timing means it is after Diana already left and Kara becomes a surrogate daughter for Hippolyta, who once served in the JSA and who sends Kara to the JSA to be their newest hero.

Actually in that universe nothing else would matter. With Bruce Wayne working with him and not against him Ra’s al Ghul would succeed in taking over the world.

Okay this is more of a short two to four issue mini-series but stay with me here. Darkseid, in a bid to conquer Earth arranges the deaths or disappearances of every hero on Earth except a badly beaten Batman and Hal Jordan. Jordan makes contact with the Guardians as batman, armed with Palmer tech, goes to the Fortress of Solitude and the shrunken city of Argos. When Darkseid and his armada arrive they are not facing the heroes, but a force of some five hundred full sized Kryptonians, each armed with a power ring. How do you think that battle will go?

I love how coherent that universe is. Everything in it fits and makes perfect sense.

Batwoman is Beth(Alice) and Kate(Batwoman) is Alice. Not to crazy detailed, But I want to see how that would work out.

That sounds really cool, but…why do 500 Supermen need power rings? Just show the melee of Supermen vs. the New Gods.

Because having battled Superman Darkseid might have a backup plan. 500 Kryptonians armed with power rings would be too much for him to handle.

A universe where
Starfire, Supergirl, and Raven somehow were raised by the Amazons on Themyscira with Wonder Woman.
They would all be the same age, or within 3-5 years of each other.
Because of their abilities there would probably be mistaken for decedents of Greek Gods.
Maybe they could all leave together… or maybe Starfire, Supergirl, and Raven would be told to bring Wonder Woman back.
Rather they have a hero or villain disposition would depend on their individual personalities and storytelling, but I say it could go either way
Could call it “The God’s of Themyscira” or “Wonder Woman - Four Sisters”
(I’m not so good at naming)
