What If DC did Civil War?

Reason why I think Civil War wouldn't happen in the DCU is that the government have their own checks and balances against the Metas. They got Cadmus, Checkmate, DEO, Department of Meta Human Affairs..the Suicide Squad, just to name a few.

According to Timm it very nearly did

Though I think the reason why the US Government was pissed that the Justice League has an orbital death cannon hidden away..and as we all know, the US Government hates it when someone has a bigger dick than they are.

Did you not see Flashpoint (the JLU episode not the movie)? Where Green Arrow expressed support for Big Government?

That could have gone places

>conflict diffuses when Batman and Superman realize their mothers have the same name

Yes? Is there something I'm missing here?
I mean, I guess it'd depend on the government.

No, I think user has merely confused 'Communism' (which is what Green Arrow believes in) with 'Anarchy'

The whole concept of Civil War was stolen from Frank Miller's DKR, in the fight between Batman vs Superman.

Green Arrow has never been a communist.
He was certainly a bleeding heart liberal in the seventies. It's only Frank Miller who keeps calling him a Marxist.

Batman would be fine with the idea of precrime, just as long as only HE had the technology. He would also love all superhumans to register. WITH HIM. Otherwise he would fight it.

I don't know enough about The Question to call it, but I'm sure Ollie would explode with indignation at either Civil War, simply because he's a contrarian first and a libertarian second.
Then Hawkman would shove him and all the arrows would fall out of his backpack like spaghetti.

And Kingdom Come had elements of heroes choosing different sides.

I think the only big thing about Civil War that DC didn't do in some way already was the complete absence of villains. And honestly, that's because that was FUCKING RETARDED. I get that it would be smart for most villains to sit it out and not try to pull a grand scheme while the heroes were focused on eachother, but it felt like EVERYONE took a break. And that's part of why Civil War was such a lifeless event, large factions of the Marvel Universe were just ignored from start to completion, no sudden alien threats, no activity at all to interrupt hero fighting hero.

Even if you look at things that are specifically "Batman created something that fucked over all his friends" plots, some badguy was pulling the strings. It would have to be a situation where one side would continuously come to blows with another side with little to no villain interaction, and that simply isn't in character for 99% of DC heroes. Hell, that isn't in character for most Marvel Heroes, Millar was around and they wanted to sell the stupid book, so fuck actually making sense.

Civil War was trash, a DC Civil War would also be trash. Just a different flavor of trash than normal, due to lack of villains.
