10 Beloved DC Comics Due For A Comeback

10. Elseworlds

The DCEU started off by attempting to follow the MCU and failing. It wanted to have this huge, connected universe with all of its heroes battling alongside each other. But that failed, almost instantly.

What developed after was a series of disparate movies that are, in at least the case of the Joker film, another continuity altogether. Which isn't that weird of a thing for DC as one of their most interesting and infamous series was the Elseworlds.

See, DC created a whole line of comics branded Elseworlds - each told a story in a different, disparate alternate world. Some told of a Superman who fought for the USSR, another about a Batman hunting Jack the Ripper. About the Joker going straight and the Yellow Lantern of Fear, Batman. (A lot of them were about Batman.) But this series was an amazing, defining set of stories that have heavily influenced where the DCEU - and all DC adaptations - are going in the future.

On top of that, come on, how could you turn down a book where Batman becomes a vampire?
