What theme did they copy from Marvel? If you’re talking about multiverse stuff, that’s been a concept in comics for ages and DC introduced it into comics first. Marvel bringing it to the movie screen first doesn’t give them ownership of the idea.

The timing is a little suspicious. Not a marvel fan btw.

I kinda agree. At the same time, multiverse crap is even more prevalent at DC than at Marvel.

Yeah, but their Elseworlds stuff is way better than most of Marvels stuff of that nature.

If DC really pushes that kind of thing for their new start, I can see them starting to dominate. I think standalone stories with interesting twists will draw in a larger audience, and they wouldn't have near as much of that "superhero fatigue" that a lot of people complain about.
