So many great ideas. I'm especially enamored of the ones involving a period setting. Dracula vs. Tarzan is an interesting idea, and I'd love to see a Superman team-up with the Shadow, if only to highlight (!) the differences between that character and the Batman. And that Margo/Lois connection is right there, waiting to be explored. Perhaps they could accompany one another's hero on the case... "Changing Lanes."
And JB seems made for a Dick Sprang-Jerry Robinson era Batman series! A TV version done right.
Upon reflection, I think the best thing we could see right now, all things being equal, which they are not, would be a return of JB to Captain America. For more than ten years, the character has been, along with the FF, a gigantic sinkhole for Marvel, embodying and exemplifying the event-chasing, extended storyline morass in which the company has been drowning. A clean, clear, well-done Cap striding forward in the midst of all this moral decay and muddled, misdirected sales-hype-cum-story-sludge would go a long way towards sending the message that Marvel at the very least wants to get back on course, and is prepared to hire the people necessary to right the ship.
Just a pipe dream and I know that, but it would be nigh-unto miraculous to have a Cap the reader could look up to once more; to genuinely feel that increased pulse rate when Cap walks into a room the way we used to. And a Bucky/Winter Soldier clone reveal really can't come fast enough...
