Like I said yesterday, they are talking about a crossover of some kind, or maybe just reprinting all their old ones, when they had writers who could write superhero stories. In the comments I had to ask why would Spider-Man and Batman have to fight? In their existing crossovers they teamed up pretty fast, and I wish that was the norm instead of the exception. The first crossover was my favorite because it looked at how both dealt with the murders that led to them becoming heroes and how similar and different their lives were.
I don’t know if it would renew lost excitement in either character. You’d need a writer who cares about both characters enough to write a good adventure but still be willing to make them earn it. I don’t know many of those there are left, and both Warner and Disney, who see the comics as movie fodder rather than a storytelling media format on par with their shows and movies, are too much rivals to make that happen no matter how much they claim otherwise. Re-releasing DC Vs Marvel was a fluke, though it would be nice to see heroes join together to fight their respective villains.
