JLA-Avengers/Trivia

• What Could Have Been - An intentional example, with the various Marvel vs. DC crossovers shown in one panel (like Lobo vs. the Shi'ar Imperial Guard) or only alluded to.
  • Darkseid with the Infinity Gauntlet alone would've had limitless possibilities.
  • As great as the miniseries was, the fact it was about specifically those groups meant that other major characters from those universes (such as the JSA, X-Men, Spidey, Daredevil, Teen Titans, New Gods and Fantastic Four) only appeared briefly.
    • Thankfully, those appearances were usually quite awesome. Batman fighting The Punisher (off-panel) and the drug dealers he was shooting up, anyone?
    • But just imagine how awesome it would've been for the Hulk to have had a bigger role in this??
  • Kurt Busiek said on the DC message boards that his original plan was for the Batman/Captain America fight to play out all the way. Who would have won? Captain America. Bats does state this, but it would take a long, long time.
  • The original plan for chapter three of the story was that the Justice League would have an adventure with Marvel-style storytelling and the Avengers would have an adventure with DC-style storytelling. Perez would even draw the Avengers in the style of Carmen Infantino and the JLA in the style of Jack Kirby. Ultimately it was decided that this would slow the story down too much and it was discarded.
