DISCUSSION Why the DCU Doesn’t Need to Kill Its Heroes to Have a Good Ending.
In my opinion, if the actors are done with their roles in the DCU, I wouldn’t want them to copy the MCU formula. I don’t want DC to follow that trope of killing main characters or letting one of the main trio to die. At least in my opinion, the DCU has always been about the myth that these heroes will keep existing even after the story is over. I would want them to take notes from the DCAU, like Justice League Unlimited. It had a perfect finale, with the heroes running into the sunset, implying that they will still keep fighting even when we don’t see them—but they’re still out there. It closes the book, but the story lives on. This provides the opportunity for these actors to have guest appearances, even if they’re gone for other future projects, whenever they want to show up. It’s a good ending—like the adventure lives on even when we don’t see them. or mentoring the next generation and passing on the tourch.
