When did Walker get his arm and leg back?
Wasn't the Ultimate line Marvel's attempt to do this?
Of course, eventually it got bogged down in continuity itself and now it's dead.

What would help is more cross promotions. I'm surprised they haven't given out free digital comic vouchers with movies, just to get people started. Imagine Court of Owls given away with the new Batman film, John's Aquaman, or Forever Evil with JL. It'd be easiest for marvel with their database service.
I still don't think the big issue is barrier of entry but distribution method and costs.
Of course this would piss off retail, which is still their main money maker.

DC has something like that called Earth One but I think the characters all exist in the same universe. They haven't ran into each other though. The Earth One books so far have been focusing on the individual characters and their origins. This was DC's answer to introducing a new audience to their characters before the New 52 happened.
He's right, Earth One is pretty much what you're asking for.
Superman Earth One is MoS done right as far as I'm concerned.

Eh, I found it really obnoxious. It was like if Will from Good Will Hunting walked around with no Ben Affleck or Robin Williams just stroking his ego the whole way.

yup. that approach doesn't work. also consider that you're tying the cinematic universe to things that happen in print, which the vast majority of movie watchers aren't reading and will only confuse them.
All three books? I'm talking about them as a whole, they form one arc.

Ultimate line went badly awry 'cause Loeb, and also psyching itself out after the New 52 took off. At the start, it fit the bill pretty well, and then things went sideways.
Ultimate was Marvel refining the Wildstorm idea.

Cool thanks. Too bad it takes 3 years to release a book.
I can't imagine there would be anyone to disagree

Not anymore. DC has been trying to get a couple EO books out every year. Wonder Woman EO is out in April and Teen Titans EO Vol. 2 is August. They announced an Aquaman EO but there's no release date yet.
Obviously someone at DC or TIme Warner does
Are you sure that was Blue Beetle and you're not confusing it for Static Shock? Because that sounds a lot like what happened on Static Shock between John Rozum and Scott McDaniel. Also don't remember reading about any trouble between Tony Bedard and Ig Guara who were on Blue Beetle.
They needed it years ago. I have no idea why they are dragging their feet.

So it's Blue Beetle Rebirth, then?

My guess is they're afraid it will cut into their trade sales which are usually really high. That or they're just working on it so it's up to par with what marvel is offering, rather than putting it out as fast as they can and looking bad in comparison.
They making all those back issues of Cyborg 3D

Does someone want this?
This is doggone brilliant.
But you know they will still try to create that universe's version of Batman or Superman
The problem is that I don't see anything even remotely interesting about the DCEU that warrants an entire comic book line dedicated to that.
Maybe Suicide Squad, but that's it.

DC has already had multiple comics dedicated to their shows and games. I'm sure they could find a way. Most recently has been Teen Titans GO!, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Arrow Season 2.5, The Flash Season Zero, Justice League: Gods and Monsters.

Cyborg is iconic and you will love him!
Nobody wants more Cyborg in their life, he was fine being a Titan.

What exactly is Marvel Unlimited? I did a web search but didn't find a decent explanation.
Is it a digital subscription service?

Think like Netflix. You can read all the dogital comics you want while being a subscriber ($10 a month, I think). There is a 6 month delay before a comic can enter the pool althought.

Once again, take this with a veritable Everest of salt, but Bleeding Cool has published some rumored details about this "Rebirth" event that probably isn't the Hanna-Barbera stuff.
To save you the clicks, supposedly...
- Prior to each new #1, there'll be a so-called "Rebirth" issue.
- Tom King is shaping up to be the favorite for the new Batman bi-weekly series while Snyder works on Detective Comics.
- Batman/Superman, Superman/Wonder Woman, Starfire, Black Canary, Midnighter and Doctor Fate are supposedly to be cancelled with the characters moving on to comics.
- New comics supposedly include The Super Man, Man of Steel, New Green Lantern starring Jessica Cruz, and Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corp.
- Pete Tomasi will write Superman bi-weekly.
- New JSA ongoing, that supposedly has the pitch "But now, not only will this active team of superheroes be revealed, along with an explanation as to why no one remembers them, but they will be brought forward, young, to the present days, fishes out of water, fighting alongside the Justice League of America."
- Damian Wayne will lead the new Teen Titans.
- A Trinity comic to launch later in the year, as a bi-weekly.
Once again, this is Bleeding Cool, so take it with a fucking Moon-sized amount of salt.

Jessica Cruz Green Lantern sounds good to me.
Cancelling Starfire, Midnighter, and Black Canary is some real bullshit though. Just started reading Doctor Fate, and atleast conceptually, I like it.

I could swear they did this back shortly after the original Crisis.

Didn't see this until now. The last Dark Avengers. While he's in an alternate reality, they use a version of the Venom symbiote to replace his limbs. No word on if those limbs carry the same weakness.

He was also in Doctor Doom's AXIS Avengers.

Doc Fate just got interesting, too :/
Still, it's Bleeding Cool. Probably bullshit, as cool as Tom King on Batman would be...

Oh my god this is the worst idea in the history of bad ideas.
The whole reason New 52 came about in the first place was to de-clutter the universe. Don't make it EVEN WORSE by taking your bad idea, and thinking doing it again will work better.

Tom King on batman would be some legendary shit. Every book he's on ranges from good to incredible. At the same time though, I'd have to imagine that DC would have to let the leash a little looser than usual; my two favorite books of his (Omega Men and The Vision) are anything but standard superhero comics.

DC right now is as editor driven as they were in the early 90's.
No chance they let him have as much creative control as he'd want.
If any of that is true I'd give that Jessica Cruz book a shot, there's some interesting things they can do with her. I'll be sad to see Midnighter go, but at the same time I'm amazed it will have lasted fur twelve issues. But since the source is Bleeding Cool, I'm sure it's all a bunch of nonsense.

From what I've heard the reins are looser now than they've been in a while. That's the whole point of the post-convergence books.
The fact that they've had the freedom to take as many different characters in as wildly different directions as they have, it was sounding like the opposite. Wasn't that the point of the "no strict adherence to continuity, it's up to the storytellers" quote they made a while ago?

Was only reading Starfire and now it might be cancelled. Keep pushing me away DC...

This would be hilarious if true, especially since DCdeciding at the relative last minute to do a near-total reboot (as opposed to a less radical relaunch) is exactly how the New 52 came about in the first place.
