In the wake of several announced cancellations, and endings, what new ongoing or limited titles would you like to see from DC?
I'd like to see a limited series for Starfire, and Roy pre-Outlaws. A Zatanna Limited.
A Tim Drake Solo ongoing series
A Stephanie Brown ongoing Series
A Hawkgirl ongoing series.
Wally West Flash series
Crime Syndicate Book, on Earth Three
A New Gods limited.

Being a child of the 90's I would like to see an Azreal book that really explored the mythology behind the whole thing. It could explore different time periods as such.

A Shazam! book would be great. A Brave and the Bold team up book similar to Batman and ... but with less Batman. Something that isn't set on earth. Maybe a Manhunter limited or something.

As a child of the Sixties (sorry to play the age card, Luciano!), I'd love to see a line of "Old 52" books! Seeing the "Gothtopia" world in the last issue of Batgirl made me pine for DC books where the sun shines! Keep the "New" books going, but hire veteran creators to do books in a classic Silver/Bronze Age style, and they'd definitely win favor with older fans, perhaps even diversifying the readership, and it would be wonderful for parents looking for DC books to show their kids how great these characters are!
Beyond the expected "tentpole" titles, I'd be up for classic Doom Patrol, Metal Men, Adam Strange, Challengers of the Unknown, Zatanna, Deadman, Birds of Prey, an Earth-Two JSA book (plus a team-up title set there, too!), and you'd have to have a horror anthology or two a la House of Mystery or House of Secrets!

Ha no worrie Bob. Those are some good titles there. I would be interested in a deadman book I think that could really be a fun book.

Well the Shazam book has been in the works since last October, it's just a matter of finding a writer/artist and when to debut it. That said, yeah I'd really love to see Billy get his own book.
Otherwise I'd really love to see the Doom Patrol get their own series again (since they're being introduced in the New 52), Secret Six return since Suicide Squad is ending and a Wildstorm book.
No seriously...they have ALL these Wildstorm characters, why not make a WildCATS book and shove em all in there. Then again that could be the Grifter fan in me wanting to see more of him.

well wildstorm characters are not surviving in the new 52!!! Grifter and voodoo series were both okay, is bland.. team 7 which was just finding its feet fell by the way side.. Stormwatch... where do I begin.... so a WildCATS book needs to be amazing to get the level of sales that DC want

Yeah they aren't selling great, but with a good team attached there is definitely a chance there.

Lots of good suggestions here. I know I've mentioned my love for Gotham Central on other threads, so sorry to repeat myself, but I'd love to see a relaunch of Gotham Central. I just love the mixture of a police procedural, along with getting a non-super hero perspective on the superheroes in the DCU. Seems unlikely that Brubaker or Rucka would return to work with DC, but I think someone like Kyle Higgins could do a good job.

I'd be happy with Charles Soule, John Layman (since he's not doing anything right now) and/or Kyle Higgins to work on it if they did reboot the series. But I'd want it to be really good and with good reason. I don't want DC to just do it because. It needs to add something fresh and new to the series.

But I'd want it to be really good and with good reason. I don't want DC to just do it because. It needs to add something fresh and new to the series. Totally agree. The original run was so good that any relaunch would have a high bar to reach. You mentioning Charles Soule got me pretty excited... what's one more book for him? I thought of Kyle Higgins because of his new book from Image, COWL, and the focus on mixing capes/cowls with politics and how his Nightwing work has been very street level. In terms of keeping the series fresh, there could be some interesting arcs addressing contemporary issues like the police spying on citizens (a la The Dark Knight) and the police trying to stay a step ahead of Batman. Could also have an arc focusing on officers going undercover as villain henchmen and give us more detailed view of how certain villains operate. Lots of potential!

I'd love to see Etrigan given his own solo series again, especially if it was another semi-comedic take like in the 90s. I was a massive fan of that series, especially when Ennis and McCrea took over and Etrigan was portrayed as the "good guy from Hell." And they even introduced Hitman, which is one of my all time favourite runs.
I tried Demon Knights but I didn't really get along with the setting. Ideally I'd like to see Jason Blood in modern-day Gotham and Etrigan up against Batman for an opening arc. And Etrigan should talk in rhyme because that was always awesome.

Can I get a solo series for The Question and a investigative journalism solo series for Louis Lane? That's all I'm asking for .
