Didn't they have to rebrand that mini to the MAX imprint for the last 2 issues because of that?

Though, to answer the actual question, it's actually harder than you'd think, mostly because the conceit would prevent you from having much in the way of recurring cast or even standing sets, making the show very expensive compared to other ideas.
The quick and Dirty solution to that is to turn it into Batvatar: the Best Bonebender and have Brucie train (and eventually defeat) the DCU's best fighters. Stick with a locale for a season then mix it up.

With Zatanna as the plucky sidekick/protector.

Green Lantern, Steel, and Mary Marvel designs for Gods & Monsters season two.

So that Green Lantern is still Abin Sur? That's cool.

And I see they're going Iron Patriot on Steel.

Mary Marvel being basically Misty Knight is cool too.

It's all cool. Bruce Timm is cool. More stuff from Bruce Timm, forever and ever.

Not sure if that's Abin Sur. It could be just about anything--maybe a Martian, maybe Saint Walker, or, hell, it kind of looks like Kanjar Ro.

I like all of the old Steel--Hank Heywood, now called Commander Steel--stuff they merged into that Steel design. I don't know if they're going to do a full conceptual merge (and make Irons into a cyborg) or what, but it's a :coal: note in the design.

And I just checked, and it turns out that Vixen's given name is Mari. Kind of hoping the Lantern is a Martian and the lady is Mari Marvel, so we get an out-of-nowhere Angry Adult Cartoon Superheroes take on the Detroit Justice League.

Are sharks all that cunning? I thought they mostly just moved towards where the smelled blood and bit things.

I wanted to include an aquatic animal, but now it's cunning of a Snake. Jake was my favorite as a kid.

I was just trying to come up with one for a Black Adam character with Shark, Hornet, Alligator, but then I got to Zorilla and decided I was really reaching.

The Rock is playing Black Adam in the Shazam movie. One of The Rock's many nicknames is the Brahma Bull. The Brahma is a breed of Zebu.

Stop it, Squizzle! You already got me to do a animal themed SHAZAM, I'm not going to do a giant robot version. Something like Geoff Johns Flashpoint Captain Thunder, but with a huge robot.

EDIT: There's no sentai/Power Ranger shows with A names. I'm going outside before I do a Transformers SHAZAM.

Except this is supposed to be a cataclysmic ice age. So she'd have to do doing it, like, all of the time.

Apparently in the original story she'd be the one to unfuck the climate, but she'd die in the process.
I kind of want Storm to not be a super heroine, but be this literal Goddess who controls weather on a global scale and spends all her time negotiating with world governments and other entities.

Like she's generally trying to create the most ideal global climate, but obviously not everyone's going to be happy. So, she's constantly having to negotiate with different countries and industries and conservation groups.

I would read 60 issues of this. There could be some intrigue to spice things up and Kitty can be her assistant.

The Intrigue comes from the fact that the entire world can't be Los Angeles style weather. We need permafrost zones. And making some areas more temperate would do crazy poo poo like spread mosquito borne disease.

It would be pretty fun to read about the unintended consequences though.
