If DC wants to push a Black Hero so bad why don't they push

>>88395609
DC basically "rents out" milestone, since it's an imprint and not owned by WB but an actual person.

So if they wanted to push Static they would have to either buy Static outright (not a bad idea) or continuously pay for him and hope he catches on as a popular series

>>88395609
Because they don't have him

>>88395609
Because they doomed the reboot to fail from the start? Does nobody remember when the creators came out as saying they hated each other and the editors refused to let them do anything they wanted to or communicate properly?

>>88395672
And also potentially make him a hit then when it comes to renewing rights, Milestone could just back out and steal their thunder.

>black skined character
>only allowed one pre universe
/pol/ logic everyone.

>>88396234

>>88395609
Lawyer mumbo jumbo fumbo

HIS NAME IS VERGIL HAWKINS AKA STATIC

NOT STATIC SHOCK

REEEEEEEEEEEE

>>88395672
That means Marvel could buy him if they wanted to sell, and Disney legal team could fuck them if they didn't DC shoulf snap him up while they can.

>>88395672
No, DC (or at least Warner Bros.) fully owns the Milestone property at the moment. They can do whatever they want with Static, or Blood Syndicate, or Icon etc.

There is another alternative.

>>88397348
Steel was always an underrated character, and it pains me he doesnt get enough love.

As someone who was introduced to him through the Animated series, I thought the idea of a normal guy who is inspired by Superman to be a superhero is cool.

SUPER HERO
STATIC SHOCK
WHOO WHOO

>>88395697
Let me guess: this was during the New 52

>>88395609
>push Static Shock
Maybe cos his name is Static and not Static Shock?

>>88396637
And?

>>88395609
Who would play him?

>inb4 idris elba

Jaden Smith

Because static shock is shit. I read his new 52 series and it was unreadable. If he was a good character, it wouldn't have been so bad.

>>88395609
I want Marvel to buy Milestone. DC is committed to doing jack shit with it and the whole franchise fits Marvel way better anyway.

>>88398715
Except for Star Wars, Marvel is doing Jackshit with its IPs anyway. DC is going to bring back Milestone once Hudlin is free.

>>88396483
STATIC SHOCK JUST ROLLS OFF THE TONGUE BETTER!

>>88398775
Marvel wouldn't pass up all that sweet diversity.

>>88398877
Marvel wouldn't make another imprint for it. Alonso hates imprints.

>>88395609
They majorly fucked up by not having Static be Cyborg's replacement on the Teen Titans.

Rights.

Same reason Black Lightning doesn't get much cross-media stuff, rights.

As for Steel, he is too tied to the Superman franchise to stick out on his own as a character that can hold something up. I mean, he literally has the S shield.

This guy.

>>88395609
Because Static tried and didn't sell enough to last past 8 issued

>>88395697
Source? Would be interesting to read.

Knowing how things go this guy would get the role, especially since his parents have already played DC characters

>>88395609
Static did get pushed, and it was fucking awful. The editors were terrible and the writers were somehow even worse.

>>88401867
The writer got fucked when editorial decided to let the artist highjack his story like 3 issues in for some reason. I was so fucking disappointed with the Static and Blue Beetle New 52 books, they were the two I really wanted to be good and they were among the worst of the bunch.

>>88395609

Cyborg fits in the JL as a tech/ monitor/ teleported. He at least fills a role.

SS does what for the group??

>>88395609
Even at teen titans level
Static is 2nd tier to cyborg

The league needs a tech dude they should have pushed for Black Beatle

Mr teriffic is too batman

Static should just team up with Thunder, Lightning, and Livewire.
