What If: Disney bought DC and not Marvel. Phase 1
In May of 2008 Iron Man was release and introduced us to the MCU. In December of 2009 Disney Purchased Marvel Entertainment. But what if things were a bit different?
In 2008 by almost every measure DC was more popular and had a bigger impact on the world. Even today the most well known and popular superheroes in history are likely Batman and Superman, not Iron Man and Captain America. So this begs the question... What if instead of of Marvel, Disney bought DC and created the DCU with the same level of investment, quality, and success of the IRL Marvel Cinematic Universe?
The goal of this exercise is to design and write the entire alt history of the cinematic universe, one phase at a time. Movies, TV, Streaming... starting with Phase One... the Years 2008 to 2012.
So let this be a freewheeling brainstorming and discussion session, which I will moderate and collect ideas and eventually come up with a detailed alt history for the DCU.
