Scooby-Doo and Mystery Inc. may not necessarily be DC Comics characters, but as they're owned by Warner Bros., they still exist under the same water tower wheelhouse. Thus, it makes sense that the pages of Scooby-Doo Where Are You #114 by Sholly Fisch and Valerio Chiola, would give a sneak preview of a DC Comics crossover, though not the type that most would expect. Given the premise behind this crossover, in fact, Scooby and the gang might be rubbing shoulders with DC cartoon characters in the near future.

A preview for the Exchange Students crossover by Amy Wolfram and Agnes Garbowska united the heroes of DC Superhero Girls with Teen Titans Go, and it opened all sorts of crossover potential. If these two shows interact in the same universe somehow, why can't other versions of DC characters across different cartoons? The possibilities are endless, and the multiverse is most certainly open.

Teen Titans Go!/DC Superhero Girls: Exchange Students

The sneak preview for the Exchange Students graphic novel pitted the two teams of cartoon heroes from Teen Titans Go! and DC Superhero Girls alongside and arguably against each other. Trying to stop both Livewire and her team of villains as well as Starfire's sister Blackfire, the two teams failed to catch their quarry due to getting in the way of each other. From there, neither team can get along, with both groups despising the other. Despite this, Wonder Woman decreed that the two teams of heroes must work together in order to defeat their particular villains, even if the young adults don't like each other.

The book looks and feels like a true crossover between the two properties, with each team being drawn in the art style of their corresponding cartoon. It's not explained how these youthful heroes are in each others' world, though, true to the name, the Teen Titans are referred to as "exchange students." More than likely, this "exchange" will be multiversal in nature, as evidenced by the book's previewed cover that describes the story as "the multiversal super-heroic crossover of the decade!" By combining these two humorous shows, this story is obviously meant to be a fun story for the kids. It does create the possibility, however, for more serious team-ups between other DC cartoons, including fan favorites who've long since ended.

Could More DC Cartoons Crossover With Each Other?

Both of these shows air on Cartoon Network, which is also owned by Warner Bros. Given that WB's other animated catalog includes the aforementioned Scooby-Doo, these shows could easily be explained as existing as specific Earths in the DC Multiverse. After all, DC characters such as Superman, Batman, Hawkman, and the Atom have shown up in Scooby-Doo! Team-Up comic book, along with other Hanna-Barbera characters such as Space Ghost. This already makes the dog detective a great candidate for fighting alongside animated DC heroes.

On the other hand, further crossovers in comic book form could also be had between unrelated DC animated projects. For instance, if there was a story involving different animated versions of Batman, it could include the versions from Batman: The Animated SeriesThe BatmanBatman: The Brave and the Bold and Beware the Batman. Three of those continuities haven't been touched in years, and much like what Marvel Studios has discovered recently, crossovers between different versions of the same character allow the chance to see what those variants have been up to since audiences last saw them. Better yet, fans could see comic book team-ups of different cartoons' versions of Scooby-Doo!

These shows could also be continued in their own tie-in comic book sequels, much like Batman: The Adventures Continue and the recently ended mini-series Justice League Infinity did for the DCAU. With how much mainstream continuity books like Justice League Incarnate have focused on the multiverse, animated heroes could even show up there. The funny thing is that no matter how far this idea goes, it will ultimately have started with a hippie boy, his dog, and a few DC kids cartoons.
