I'd be more partial to a JSA: The Liberty Files series.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSA:_The_Liberty_Files

Or a The Golden Age series.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Age_%28comics%29

I loved both of them and felt they managed to be a part of the DC Universe with interesting concepts.  Granted I'm a huge JSA fan, but I think both are quite good on their own merits.

Well see, i thought the book sucked.
I've said it many times before, Superman is a horrible character to try and make into film and tv.
well. That's only on account of your crippling mental handicap, isn't it?

What do you think of my movie idea?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I liked the part about doing it in the 30s and switching from B+W to color. I dunno about Batman in that milieu.  Let alone Darkseid. Remember, the ne 60w gods are creatures of the 1970s. Or maybe late 60s. (it was okay when they showed up in the 2080s tho.p

Batman does best in hard times, the 30s are great for him.

There's never a bad time for Darksied.  :mad:

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

The New Gods don't work in the 30s.

Been watching Cartoon Network's Justice League and Jesus Christ, Bruce Wayne must be as rich as Rockefeller (1.53% US GDP or $230 billion in 2012). And Luthor's richer than this guy? How?

Austrian economics.

What's the deal with Bruce Wayne's money, anyway?  He didn't start the company.  His dad didn't start the company, his dad was a surgeon (and surgeons are rich but are they likely to start and run multi-hundred-billion dollar technology/weapons firms?).  Maybe he actually inherited it from Martha.

Yeah, what's going to happen?  Turns out Hitler, Goering, and Himmler are Darkseid, Granny, and Desaad wearing people suits?  Oh God I hope Mark Millar ain't reading this.

He created the DC equivalent of Facebook?

He probably got Superman to get precious metals from the asteriod belt and invested the monies wisely, then rinced and repeated, then did what David Xanatos did and sent himself back in time to place some gold coins in a vault so that they would later be sold to be the foundation of the Wayne Empire.
PDH!

I dunno, he invented an AI and shot a constellation of satellites into orbit once.  I hated that.  It's like no one has any idea what things cost, or how supply chains work, or how you can't just build a fucking top-of-the-line stealth airplane in your cave.

I'm sure there are tons of surgeons who form hundred billion dollar real estate empires.
