What if instead of Powerless, we got an Office-style show about DC's writers?

>writers are sitting around a table presenting their ideas for their next story arc
>Tom starts out "So, I had this one experience based on something that happened back in the CIA."
>tenses up, has the thousand yard stare
>they continue the meeting, leaving Tom to his PTSD

>the episode where they send Grant Morrison to deal with Alan Moore harassing people in the parking lot

>[mumbled Scottish profanities]

>that Halloween episode where Scott Snyder is locked alone in the building with the power out
>and Frank Miller is wandering about

It was pretty frustrating how long it took Scott to realize Frank could only detect movement and couldn't see him if he didn't move. That was obvious from the first encounter.

>Grant and Geoff go on a magical quest for cereal

>literally Chads

Over the course of a season, Geoff Johns' desk becomes more and more loaded with cereal boxes and paraphernalia until the season finale, in which the cold opener begins with somebody trying to find Johns and opening his office door only for gallons upon gallons of milk and cereal to come gushing out, leaving Johns in the middle of his room wearing swim trunks and holding a novelty giant spoon.

>meanwhile, at Marvel

>its a "Johns loses his shit after Jim Lee hides his cereal" episode

it was funny at first but Psycho Johns got repetitive.

>it's a Bendis and Cameron Stewart get into a Tumblr argument episode
>CamStew runs down to Morrison to ask him to curse Bendis

>Tom, what happened?
>It was an accident, I swear it! I didn't know the kid was there! I had no choice!
>What?
>Nothing. I was just thinking at the next batman storyline... yeah, nothing more.
>Tom continues to stare at the window for the whole episode

fund it

>jim lee
>not Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis

They literally already have the script for the whole episode too

>it's a Dan nixes Tom's idea to have an issue where Batman accidentally kills innocent civilians and spends the rest of his run dealing with the guilt episode

>Hey guys i had another great idea for a Joker story
>Oi its not nutha story 'ere 'is a poof is it
>well he loves batman but-
>everyone laughs at snyder

Giffen is Booster, DeMatteis is Beetle, right?

I could see a show akin to The Gary Shandling Show(s) about the writers and artists and the rest of the editorial staff. That could be fun.

>running joke is Berganza raping everyone off-screen

>episode opens with Dan receiving another Harley Quinn proof at the exact last minute
>asks Johns to go investigate what's going on
>Johns delegates it to Scott
>Scott goes down to find Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner literally spend almost their entire work day on top of each other, only bothering to quickly throw stuff together in between

>An argument about whose Joker should be in the new DC universe comes to blows, eventually solved by including all of them

>Grant Morrison shows up in very few episodes
>his episodes are regarded as the best
>Geoff misadventures at the supermarket
>Snyder gets pissy and decides to join Marvel. He comes back traumatized at the end of the episode.

>it's a Greg Capullo defends Scott from the interns calling him gay scene

>Moore is on the phone, and REALLY wants to talk about a recent project

>that episode where Jim Lee redesigns the DC office
>just adds a bunch of pointless piping everywhere and paints the walls the same colors but darker

What about cameos of old writters?

Neil Gaiman?

>Bob Harras is namedropped once at episode
>people say he's always busy in his office
>he is never shown until the last episode
>his office is empty

Amazing.

Paul Dini? How would a episode with Dini be?

>that episode where the guy meets the ghosts of Gardner Fox, Curt Swan, Jack Kirby, Siegel and Shuster, etc. Whilst also being pursued by the most evil ghost of all... Bob Kane

>"Okay, Paul. But can you not make Zatanna a literal insert of you wife thi-"
>gets up and leaves the building

>>Moore is on the phone, and REALLY wants to talk about his wizard cave

>Dini and Timm come to the office just to say hi to everyone
>Didio begs Dini to write Detective Comics #1000 and Timm to save the DCEU
>they both refuse but agree to write a quick one-shot for Batman in DCAU style
>Didio read the script and is amazed

>Dini burns it
>he and Timm leave the office laughing, while Dan tries to put together the ashes

>Dini speaks up

Kek

Oh my God, Alan Moore as a creepy homeless warlock who just haunts the underground parking garage and occasionally submits award winning comics would be the best thing.

Other comic staffs can be introduced as antagonists:
- Marvel: pink-haired, effeminate men in tight pants and mustaches with hipster shirts.
- Image: 90s throwback cool guys who are all made up like The Crow or Sting from the WWF.
- Zenescope: really, really creepy balding, fat pervs who just leer and never actually say anything not under their breath.
- Valiant: a bunch of normal people who everyone forget exists and have to be reminded of whenever they're brought up.

>It's a everyone in the offices goes to the Gym Episode
>Snyder and Capullo being best bros keeping tabs at each other
>Gail Simone ducking out and trying to find a way out of this situation

>that episode where Morrison creates a real life multiverse and marries his Earth 11 counterpart

this is what I thought it was when I saw the first press release on it, I'm still disappointed it's not

>His earth11's dad is Earth 11 Alan /moore

That episode when Johns was a hack

Who would be a primary antagonist for each member in pic related?

For Morrison, I think it would be Moore and Millar.

Literally everything is better in Mockumentary style

I actually recently finished the office for the 3rd time. Priceless show. Season 8 sucked though.

>David Goyer gets brought on as a comic writer
>He ends up being an annoying fratbro douche who laughs every time they mention non A-List heroes and calls everyone else nerds and virgins
>Eventually the office gets so annoyed that they all band together for the first time and beat the shit out of him

>It's a Bizarro Earth Episode
>Bizarro Johns is just Bendis

>Dark Horse
Emotionless factory of writers who churn out a series of average works at a daily rate and have no ideas or identities of their own and bow down to whoever is the most successful at any given point?

>Gaiman sitting all day waiting for a meeting
>Too polite to butt in
>End of the episode someone finally acknowledges him
>just as he opens his mouth to speak, cut to black

>literally a pleb
Look Grant and Geoff throwing down the World's Finest pose. Those are heroes user

>Bendis is an old man hard of hearing.
>This is why he repeats everything.
>Episode ends and he says nothing of significance despite having 70% of the episode's dialogue

>they use Martian Manhunter merchandise to hit him

series finale

i can only name 3
am i a cuck?

>Cloonan shows up for an episode.
>Dan keeps suggesting ideas for Gotham Academy.
>It eventually becomes clear Dan just wants to publish books about cute girls doing cute things.

Johns, Morrison, Romita Jr, Didio, Lee, Snyder.

You should know at least Johns, Morrison, Didio, and Lee. I can understand not recognizing Snyder and JRJR though.

Also the entire thing is blue

Does anybody have that pic of Morrison crossdressing because it literally looks like his wife

>its a geoff runs out of milk episode

What?

is it bad if I think that would actually be a neat what if story?

Morrison has crossdressed a few times and there's a pic of him in a wig floating around, and it looks just like his wife.

Morrison's wife looks almost identical to him, and when Morrison did cross-dressing whilst he was addicted to drugs, he looked even more like her.

They are all so fucking ripped
I thought they would be greasier/fatter

>New intern: Hey guys, I wanted to ask who this "Bob Harras" guy is. I've never seen him around the office but his name's all over a ton of stuff. The weird thing is everything his name is on is a massive failu-

>Jim Lee: BOB HARRAS IS NOT ON TRIAL HERE. BOB HARRAS' CREDENTIALS ARE BEYOND REPROACH. HE HAS DONE MORE FOR THIS COMPANY AND THE INDUSTRY THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW. CLEAN OUT YOUR DESK YOU'RE FIRED YOU IMPUDENT PEON

That's the Marvel staff

Morrison used to crossdress some. Why do you think a lot of his stories feature characters crossdressing?

The series finale ends with Grant Morrison literally unleashing the aypocalypse by writing some bullshit So the gentry can physically enter the earth and everyone is warped into being pure incarnations of evil and immediately vring the house down on marvel this effectively infects to viewers officially letting empty hand into our world.

At DC it seems like there's pressure to get swole.

The only who's got chub is Didio and even then he looks like he can beat the shit out of you.

>It's after work and everyone's at a bar drinking
>Morrison gets wasted and tries to explain quantum physics to anyone who will listen
>Johns keeps bugging the bartender asking for increasingly obscure cereals
>Ennis shows up and won't stop talking about the fucking Irish

Are you sure you aren't mistaking Harras for Berganza?

>series finale
Opener for Season 2!

Snyder has started running with other people like Soule, and he's about to start working out with JRJR, so yeah you're right.

See Pax Americana, Multivercity and other books by DC.

They all have the message to go outside and live a great life and talk to people and improve yourself. Their writters aren't autists.

Marvel on the ter way is about memes and Social Justice and making fans mad.

As the episode ends its revealed that the true mastermind behind this was none other than Stan Lee

>the episode where Zach Snyder takes a mandatory tour of the office
>he literally cannot tell the difference between Marvel and DC characters and gets bored of anything that doesn't have explosions or tits

>Stan says only one line, just before the end
HAIL HYDRA

Oh yeah, Geoff Johns and Morrison and Jim Lee and Dan Didio are marvel staff. Yeah, what he said, exactly.

>women
>blacks
>hipsters

why am I not surprised

>It's an Alan Moore tries to trick DC into giving him America's Best Comics episode

There it is.

It's a comic con episode as we watch our dysfunctional group deal with Marcel's pandering shit and image continous production of high grade shit no one cares about, and Valiant is seen in a retrofitted lemonade stand in the parking lot

>the episode starts with Morrison suffering from writers block in the middle of his meta commentary shit deciding to take some LCD for creative inspiration
> the episode end with Snyder finding him tripping balls in the archives reading silver age superman

> Sibloy where everyone's trying their best to not bash Landis brains in for being a hipster douche

I want an episode with Lobdell and Jurgens...

You are kind o projecting your feeling regarding Landis on the staff as some sort of power fantasy

>DC invites Marvel to watch a game of Baseball.
>Marvel doesn't accept because they find the phallic imagery of the bats insulting.

>Gerard Way shows up on an Apprenticeship under Morrison.

>Morrison curses everyone on Marvel

no, he means it's the Marvel staff that's filled with fat greasy people. Dan Slott, Tom Brevoort and Bendis for example

>Every season there's a Marvel/DC Special

ah shit I just realized I never took off my name from that /tg/ game. Also yeesh all the projecting in this thread about the creators they dislike.

>Morrison and Moore draw a line dividing the office telling the other not to cross it.
>They get into an argument about Miracleman
>Episode ends with a screaming match as Johns cowers in the corner, looking on in horror as he only came by to get more milk for his chocolate frosted flakes

>Anual Company picnic.
>Marvel gets mad because DC is playing football with Image. While he is sitting on the grass reading the Scum Manifesto.
>Notices nobody is paying attention to Valiant and plans how to use him to ruin the day.

Valiant should be kinda like Jerry from Rick and Morty.

> Morrison bursts into the DC offices every episode to scrounge up supplies for his arcane rituals
> he has an altar in the basement where Moore lives
> they worship seperate deities and this is often a cause for conflict between the two
He'll be the Kramer and Moore will be the Joe Devola of the show. Moore will leave spooky shit laying around the office and put curses on the staffmambers he doesn't like.

I just chalked that up to comics being comics.

> It's a Dan tries to kill off Dick Grayson episode

>That episode with them running around the building, trying to escape from Stan Lee Scooby Doo-style.

That would be a Christmas special

>they catch him fapping to Chyna's She-Hulk porno.

I liked that at the end Moore saved them by using magic to send Stan back
