I am a big fan of the DC universe. I come here to see the other options or paths that these great titles and characters take.
I find the talent, but I don't find the fresh approach, its like looking at the DC universe' reflection on a cracked mirror.
Why not use these talents to push forward. Add an edge and bring new ideas.
Get the batman on the run from the US goverment. The NSA would not stop until he is captured, or something like it.
Let the Flash have a different ring, one that expands and the Wally would walk through it to become the Flash (have any of you seen the anime Karas? Available at Blockbuster)
Send Superman to a dimension where there is a continuous war, only a few, the victorious would be able to go back to their worlds, and victory would only be accomplished by following "Kill or be killed". Superman, of course, would return, but at what price?
...to be continued

The goal here is to retell traditional superhero stories as we want to tell them. What you're describing is excellent material for our Elseworlds, or our sister site DC3, which covers the multiverse.
The talent is indeed here, telling the stories they want to tell. Sorry if those stories are not what you were expecting.

My view of it(doesn't amount to much. Been here for less than a month) is that we are creating great stories that are also preserving the classic feels of the characters.

I find the talent, but I don't find the fresh approach, its like looking at the DC universe' reflection on a cracked mirror. Other options paths are here. Especially with Shazam! and Action Comics. The fresh take on Doomsday and the origin of the original Captain Marvel. I don't think you can get any fresher than the Black Lightning/Static mini. New ideas...read Shazam!, read Action Comics, read Suicide Squad. That sounds like something that Marvel did. Iron Man's Secretary of Defense and Wolverine: Enemy of the State. Sounds like Marvel Planet Hulk storyline. But not here. |

There is no such thing as a new idea. And you, my friend, have not presented anything new here. In fact, what you've done is taken two or three ideas, thrown them together, and hoped that we wouldn't notice they've been written before  Get the batman on the run from the US goverment. The NSA would not stop until he is captured, or something like it. Batman: Outlaws #1-3 Moench/Gulacy. Not read it, but it's out there. Check this out for more information. When he runs the Speed Force envelops Wally in the DCU. Barry had a ring that gave him a costume. Wow! You've just combined... Two ideas. How is a new idea if you're quoting an anime, anyway? Action Comics #761. But with death. Anyway, I'm just astonished that your firsts posts in two years (Two years man, have you been sitting and waiting to say this?!) are this... Rude. But thanks for your time anyway. |

Hey My name is Josh Van Dine aka TwoFace222. I just signed up and I was wondering if I could start my own series of Two Face comics? Also I was wondering what do I need to know about putting comics on here and how do I get someone to do my covers?

Welcome, Twoface! Take a tour of the DC2, especially the "Welcome to the DC2" forums, and you will find the answer to all your questions!
In the meantime, we hope you read the material on display here and leave feedback for the artists and writers who have worked so hard (we are now in our fifth year!) to ensure this site is here for you to enjoy!

If you want to write a Two-Face story, we have Rogues Gallery, a series dedicated to villains and villainy, open for any new writers who want to showcase their favourite in bastards..! ... erhem  I'm the editor of said title, so if you want to drop me a Personal Message with a pitch for an issue, I'm sure we can work something out. You might want to read Detective Comics (I can get you the exact issue numbers, but it slips my mind at this moment in time), wherein the amazingly talented Brian Burchette highlighted the Rise and Fall of Harvey Dent in exquisite detail. Hope to see your thoughts on the site around on the letter pages! |

Is it ok if my Two Face is based on The Dark Knight Two Face or do I have to go by your version of Two Face We have a fixed continuity here at the DC2, so it would be the version established by our writers. If you're interested in an out-of-continuity TDK-esque world, then you'd want to speak to Arcalian, who is our Elseworlds-Editor-In-Chief, but that's a different kettle of fish. |

It's a different kettle of fish because what you're proposing is a concept for an Elseworlds series-- not part of regular DC2 continuity-- and it's on Arcalian's prerogative to green light, if the pitch is strong enough.
Personally, I edit in-continuity series, so I couldn't green-light a TDK-Two-Face series.
