Spider-Girl and Robin


Here are two characters that were originally intended to appear once, but were so popular that their stories continued.  First appearing in an issue of What If? and an Elseworld story, they were considered out of continuity.  Spider-Girl went on to her own series and Carrie was featured in two sequels to The dark Knight.  Now, both Marvel and DC are really embracing their multiverse characters, so I am sure that we haven't seen the last of them yet!

Dark Knight Returns was an Elseworlds story before there were Elseworlds stories

Not a bad concept. :-)

@Tpairan: true! It sort of bridged the gap between the "Imaginary Stories" of the Silver Age and the first official Elseworld story..."Gotham By Gaslight."

A fun duo. Be good to see these two paired again.

I'm with Dave. Whether Marvel and DC feature these characters again, I'm hoping we haven't seen the last of these two as a pair on this blog.

In Bruce Timm's Batman, Clayface had a "daughter" that split from his own body.

Kind of like an idea I once had for a Spiderman/Creeper story involving Chameleon and Proteus (who were basically the same character anyway).
