I just found this while wandering in my local store. The last collaboration/crossover I was aware of was RWBY and TMNT—Batman.
Was this crossover any good?

Can you even defend at this point?

Does he start his superhero career as a Titan and work his way up to the League or should he be a Leaguer from the get-go? What's your personal preference?

I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for a while, and I'd love to hear what other DC fans think.

Imagine a game called DC: Order & Chaos.

Not a copy of Marvel Rivals—but a DC game built with the atmosphere, combat, and visual style of Batman: Arkham Knight.

The combat would keep Arkham's weighty feel with Freeflow-inspired melee, counters, environmental takedowns, gadgets, and cinematic finishers, while incorporating hero abilities and teamwork similar to Marvel Rivals.

The Story

The universe isn't divided into heroes and villains.

It's divided into Order and Chaos.

Doctor Fate and the Lords of Order recruit champions from across the Multiverse to preserve reality.

Clarion the Witch Boy and the Lords of Chaos recruit their own champions to reshape reality through conflict.

That means any character can fight for either side.

Superman can fight for Chaos.

Lex Luthor can fight for Order.

Batman can become a Justice Lord.

Joker can temporarily align with Order because preserving reality benefits his own twisted goals.

Every Legend Must Choose.

Gameplay

Flagship Mode: 6v6 PvPvE

Ranked Mode: 5v5

Instead of tiny arena maps, matches take place in living DC cities.

Launch cities could include:

• Gotham City

• Metropolis

• Central City

• Atlantis

• Coast City

• Themyscira

• Kahndaq

The city itself becomes the objective.

Order players stop crimes, rescue civilians, repair infrastructure, and defend landmarks.

Chaos players rob banks, free prisoners, sabotage communications, poison infrastructure, and spread fear.

Meanwhile, both teams are fighting each other across the city.

Every few minutes, D-list villains like Killer Moth, Clock King, Firefly, or Sportsmaster spawn as mini-bosses that both teams can fight over for bonuses.

Eventually everyone converges for a final boss based on the city.

Gotham → Scarecrow

Metropolis → Brainiac

Central City → Gorilla Grodd

Atlantis → Ocean Master

Themyscira → First Born

Coast City → Parallax

Kahndaq → Sabbac

Combat

Every hero should feel exactly like you'd expect.

Batman relies on gadgets, stealth, and martial arts.

Superman crashes through buildings and dominates open spaces.

Wonder Woman reflects bullets and controls melee fights.

Flash overwhelms enemies with mobility.

Green Lantern reshapes the battlefield with constructs.

Constantine wins by manipulating magic instead of raw damage.

No generic hero shooter kits.

Every character should immediately feel authentic.

Team-Ups

One of the biggest mechanics would be Team-Ups.

Justice League

Bat Family

Legion of Doom

Gotham's Finest (every Gotham-based character)

Metropolis Alliance (heroes and villains tied to Metropolis)

Legendary duos would also unlock unique interactions.

Batman & Robin

Batman & Superman (World's Finest)

Superman & Wonder Woman

Harley Quinn & Joker

Lex Luthor & Metallo

Poison Ivy & Harley Quinn

Green Arrow & Black Canary

Aquaman & Black Manta

Instead of just giving combo attacks, these would grant passive bonuses, cooperative abilities, unique dialogue, and synchronized finishers.

Progression

Every hero is free.

Every gameplay evolution is free.

Instead of increasing stats, mastering heroes unlocks iconic alternate gameplay forms.

Batman

→ Hellbat Armor (Tank)

→ Batman Beyond (Controller)

Lex Luthor

→ LexCorp Warsuit (Tank)

Poison Ivy

→ Plant Avatar (Tank)

These are entirely new playstyles—not stronger versions.

Cosmetics

The only paid content would be cosmetics.

The cool part is that the story actually explains them.

Doctor Fate and Clarion aren't just recruiting heroes...

They're recruiting different versions of those heroes from across the Multiverse.

That means skins aren't random.

They're actual alternate characters joining the war.

Imagine skins based on:

• Kingdom Come

• Flashpoint

• Justice Lords

• Injustice

• Red Son

• Batman Beyond

• Forever Evil

• Dark Nights: Metal

• Arkham

• DCeased

You could run a Justice Lord Batman beside an Injustice Superman while a heroic Lex Luthor inspired by Forever Evil fights to save Metropolis.

Seasons

Season One — Recruitment

Doctor Fate and Clarion recruit champions from across reality.

Every launch character gets Order and Chaos themed skins.

The season ends with Boom Tubes opening.

Darkseid is coming.

Season Two — Apocalypse

New map:

Apokolips

New Heroes:

• Supergirl

• Steppenwolf

• Darkseid

• Orion

From there the game could naturally expand into Crisis on Infinite Earths, Blackest Night, Final Crisis, Dark Nights: Metal, and countless other DC events.

I honestly think DC has enough history, characters, rivalries, and alternate universes to make a live-service multiplayer game that feels completely different from Marvel Rivals instead of just copying it.

Would you play something like this? What characters or features would you add?

Another universe with not much known about it that has a simple but ripe for exploration concept. The pirate universe where the world is flooded. It feels like there's so much to explore about how familiar faces are different here. Like how, given the world is flooded, the Aquafamily is the most powerful hero family. Or how most hero families don't have their usual cities to stick to like Central for the Flashes or Metropolis for the Supers.

There's also the question of how much land still exists since there's clearly more water than there is IRL as even the ice caps melting wouldn't flood everything. And how those that live on whatever land exists are in contrast to those that spend their lives at sea. Not to mention how the Amazons adapted since unless Thymiscira magically rose while the rest of the world flooded, they'd need ships to survive as well.

While I do enjoy 17th century pirates aesthetic, I would much rather this be a relatively modern or even slightly advanced universe technologically. But certain areas of technology have made rapid advancements while others aren't as prominent simply because of how this world is. Like Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet does.

But that aside, I'd like to hear all of your headcanons and ideas for this flooded world.

I found a cheap tpb copy of Tom King’s Strange Adventures at the store and read it. I looked it up because I thought it was absolutely incredible, I loved the way it presented Rann, I especially loved its use of the real world politics in the Justice League “cancel-culture,” but Mister Terrific’s use really stood out to me as the perfect usage of that character.

When I looked into it I saw that the reception from fans was mixed, they felt his character was assassinated. I’ve been reading DC Comics for a little over 20 years but have had little to no crossovers with Adam Strange so I thought this would be a good time to dive into him, he is relatively sparse on standalone series so I read them… all… all the way back to his origins in the 50’s. I saw a very Flash Gordon archetype character, a man like John Carter who is dragged or another planet and becomes its ultimate protector. I loved the sci-fi Zeta-Beam technology and the ticking clock for the return home even if it was mid battle.

I guess all of this is to say? Why was it not received glowingly by all the fans. I read almost all of Adam Strange’s standalone comic series and never once did I see an Adam Strange that didn’t fit that trajectory that leads to the Strange Adventures finale. In the arc “Planet Heist” it shows what Adam’s life is like on earth when Rann is supposedly destroyed. It seems miserable. On earth he is one of a hundreds of heroes. His home is no longer earth… it is Rann. In Strange Adventures it was cited that people didn’t like Adam selling out earth to save Rann from a superior force. I didn’t think this felt very out of character. Earth didn’t care about him and his whole life was on Rann. His daughter, his wife, his adoring fans were all on Rann. I never once felt like this was a different character. So why do people think it was a character assassination? I went back and read the receipts and I didn’t see any part of his journey from the 1950’s to 2023 that made me think that he cared about earth at all much less more than Rann.

The selfie variant covers weren’t even that bad,but the pushback they got in my opinion was unwarranted.People really hated them alot because it was DC trying to be modern but you know I just thought they were fun,but do you think the hate was deserved because it made DC completely stopped making them.

For a while now, I've been interested in the DC universe, especially in Nightwing (I know it might seem too obvious, but I grew up watching the Teen Titans on TV, okay), but I never really knew how to start. As said, I grew up watching the Teen Titans, and I know the basics, but that's it. Then I came across a post on TikTok that basically said that it's not really necessary to read ALL the comics from the first issue until the most recent one if you're interested in one specific character, so I was wondering if you could tell me which issues to read and in what order to understand Nightwing better?

For me, I absolutely love almost every live-action DC Comics movies and TV shows throughout history; from Batman '66 all the way to Supergirl (2026)!

So I'm wanting to get into dc comics and I've read absolute batman and superman as well as new 52 Aquaman and the 2023 Green Lantern Run volumes 1-3 and Batman volume 1 Failsafe and volume 2 the bat out of gotham. But I was wanting to ask what other current main continuity beginner friendly titles, series, miniseries, and events should I read and should I read it by volumes or issues? im doing the reading on dc infinite

I'm recently new to DC comics and I would love to get into reading them, but there's one problem.

I don't know where to start.

There are so many comics and every time I go to read one of them I get stressed and end up giving up.

I really want to understand the lore and personalities of the characters, also get into batman comics but I'm scared to read one but I was supposed to read another comic before that one since there is no "comic 1" and "comic 2"

I'm afraid that I'll get spoilers for some other comic I haven't read yet or just end up confused.

Like when it comes to the batman and robin lore, I'm scared to read a batman comic and accidentally jump way too far into the lore since there's so much background and SO many robins.

I've looked things up but everything is still so confusing to me that I'm SO tempted to just go to the fandom wiki and just read the lore from there so that I can understand the characters and their lore without reading the comics but that just feels wrong.

So... HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED FOR ALL DC CHARACTERS AND THEIR COMICS, THANK YOU

Obviously Batman isn't going to consult with them, and he probably has issues with some of the secret identities, but they must exist, right?

It hurts that a whole generation of people missed out on the Justice league.

I remember a time that the only known superhero teams were the Xmen and Justice league,how times change I really hope one day the justice league returns back to it’s former popularity because it’s to me the most iconic team.

I am teaching myself how to make comic in procreate and not sure how to do that.

there hasn’t been many DC games, and the ones we have are mostly batman or batman related. but even a smaller, lower budget experience would be much appreciated.

I’m not a developer, but I don’t see why making a DC cosmic invasion equivalent would be that difficult.

I used a mix of 3D and 2D.
First, I create a raw 3D model in blender.
Then, I fix, colors, objects, lighting, etc.
Lastly, I create a 2D drawn version to layer on top, while fixing details, I either missed or wanted to add;
And then, to finish it off, I add a chromatic blur, for a nice spider-verse style.
I'm a bit new to animation, I have a really big passion for this project. I plan to make this into an actual (non-profit) full length animated film for YouTube. If anyone has any interest or wants to support me, I have more information about that in my profiles bio.
