Basicall...My dream Justice League story is similar. Basically, it would start with a rather silly supervillain ("THE MONUMENT MASTER", maybe give him a monkey minion) threatening to steal the Statue of Liberty. The Justice League would get called in to stop him, but would get distracted by all sorts of ridiculous drama (attack by Prometheus, Batman's paranoia of metahumans affecting the League negatively, Roy Harper off the wagon, maybe some relationship nonsense). Basically rehash all of the internal conflict the League has ever gone through in the space of a single issue or maybe a short arc. <br /><br />Anyway, the Justice League would defeat their inner and outer demons and come out triumphant...only for the last page to be the silly supervillain flying into the sunset in a helicopter, Statue of Liberty in tow, and laughing maniacally. The Justice League have gone so far from their roots, they can no longer protect the planet from the sort of Silver Age villain they would have dealt with in a single issue thirty or forty years ago. And (since we're dreaming), I'd have editorial enforce the change, and anytime any DC comic showed Liberty Island there would only be an empty pedestal.Grazztnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15742539.post-33274701138010516252013-05-22T06:56:33.899-07:002013-05-22T06:56:33.899-07:00See, if DC had taken time to wrap up its universe ...See, if DC had taken time to wrap up its universe before the Nonsense began, this would've actually been a perfect Justice League wrap-up.AlephZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184670038974528432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15742539.post-68753327381109979492013-05-21T09:40:42.090-07:002013-05-21T09:40:42.090-07:00I would definitely read this as a 2-3 issue Justic...I would definitely read this as a 2-3 issue Justice League story, but at true crossover length it would be masturbatory and interminable. Also it retreads Morrison's JL a bit too much, considering the Key's plot here is basically identical to his plan back then. Fun idea though; having said the above, I would love to see the Key return, and Triumph definitely has some storytelling potential.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15742539.post-19821458450777527922013-05-21T09:06:28.435-07:002013-05-21T09:06:28.435-07:00It would be better if villain somehow teleports Tr...It would be better if villain somehow teleports Triumph back in a last ditch effort to complete his agenda, moments before the superheroes arrive.
