Just why would a founding JSA member and a gamma-induced Avenger join forces to confront a tyrant on the other side of the galaxy? I'm not sure... but I would have been willing to shell out sixty cents to find out!

Between their duality and legal background, this feels like a natural combination. I can only imagine what Harvey Dent's plan is with this newfound power.
Two-Face encountered Jennifer Walters' cousin Bruce Banner in STF #4280...
If you were wondering where the rest of the Totalitarians were while Super-Skrull was battling Metamorpho a few days ago, well here is a partial answer to that question. Let's hope that teamwork from Earth's Mightiest Heroes wins the day!
I can see an ex-con like Eel O'Brien having a few encounters with a superhero lawyer. It would be cool to see these two in action together.
You knew he just wouldn't stay down! Mr. Universe is back to vex the heroes of Earth-STF! Will this group be enough to put him away for good - or will he be back? Power Girl and She-Hulk were last seen fighting the Psycho Pirate in STF #3743, and they first met in STF #1482...
This is a team concept that has been discussed in the comments and I thought that is was time to put it together. The first three members of this group were easy to pick, but there is a wide choice of funny animal characters that are known to talk straight to the audience. Bugs Bunny was the one that made the biggest impression on me, so he got the nod.
Ambush Bug previously met She-Hulk in STF #3928, and Deadpool in STF #285...
Matt Reeves' The Batman trilogy seems to be focusing on The Dark Knights more grounded foes. I am hoping that when we finally get to DCU adventures with Batman: The Brave and the Bold, we can finally see some of the more fantastical members of the rogues gallery on the big screen. I've always said involving Hugo Strange and his Monster Men experiments would be a great place to start, as you can use that plot to also introduce Man-Bat and Killer Croc. Make it so, James Gunn and Peter Safran!
One of the things I enjoyed about the Sensational She-Hulk series was the obscure characters from Marvel's history that would show up as guest stars. I think that Space Cabbie would have fit right in.
I loved the era when Worlds' Finest became a dollar book with a bunch of rotating back up features to go with the regular Superman/Batman team ups. Probably my favorite was the Shazam back-ups that featured artwork by the great Don Newton. I've seen the Shazam characters depicted in a very cartoony style as well as realistic and gritty - but in these tales I think that Newton really struck the perfect balance. Captain Marvel and his supporting cast and villains all looked great.
Marvel has had the jump on DC when it comes to getting their characters and concepts into the movies for a while now, but DC has had a few wins so far. Getting their version of Atlantis on the screen before Marvel could introduce Namor was a big one. Now I am wondering which prehistoric society will show up first - Warlord and Skartaris or Ka-Zar and the Savage Land? I haven't heard of plans for either, but I hope we'll see one or the other in the next decade.
They're both green, they both have fun exploring different comic tropes and clichés, and they both like to break the fourth wall in the middle of their stories - it was only natural that they cross paths eventually. I can only imagine the antics that would ensue.
Now if this was a movie of the week when I was growing up, there would have been nothing to stop me from watching it. There were very few live action super-heroes to be found, so even though he wasn't from the comics, I counted Steve Austin as one of them. Pair him up with and actual Marvel hero, throw in some guest stars and that would have been a true recipe for action in my young eyes.
She-Hulk on Disney+ was definitely a mixed bag, and I wound up somewhere in the middle. I liked the first and final two episodes, but found the rest to be pretty much a waste of time. It definitely felt like a rough draft of a show that needed to be tightened up and to have writers with more of a legal background brought in. Also, for a comedy, I wanted to laugh more (Madisynn was the comedic highlight for me). Still, I liked Tatiana Maslany in the role, actually enjoyed the slightly lighter take on Daredevil and the breaking of the fourth wall in the final episode reminded me of the classic John Byrne run on the character which brought a big smile to my face. Oh, and seeing Mark Linn-Baker back on TV was great, I loved him as Jen's dad.
I'm looking forward to She-Hulk: Attorney at Law on Disney+. There were some complaints about dodgy CGI in the trailer, but I've seen updated footage that allays those fears, I think it will look fine. Still, I do wonder why they couldn't just paint Tatiana Maslany green and give her a wig and some small props at least for the close up shots. It seems that would be cheaper and simpler, but perhaps it would be too hard to match it up to the CGI shots they do use if they went that way.
Power Girl and She-Hulk first met in STF #1482...
Offbeat clients were one of the elements that made The Sensational She-Hulk a fun read, and hopefully her Disney+ series will follow suit. I wouldn't mind seeing some minor Marvel players like Frog-Man, Razorback or U.S. 1 show up on the series. It would also be a great place to feature Damage Control and (if the budget allows) The Great Lakes Avengers.
Lots of talented artists have worked on She-Hulk, but John Byrne did my favorite rendition. Here's a Byrne Wonder Woman page I picked up several years back, mostly because I liked his version of Darkseid:
With the final seasons of Supergirl and Black Lightning coming this year, it will be interesting to see how each series in concluded. Superman and Lois is about to begin and Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman and The Flash have all been renewed for at least another more season beyond the upcoming one, so the CW 's DC shows are continuing. Will Supergirl and BL retire at the end of their runs, or will they continue on and we just won't have shows that follow their adventures? I'd prefer the latter, so that they can still be available for crossover appearances.
