A DCU Writing Question

[Jonathan Callan]

Working on a spec. script for a DCU animated show. I have two questions for comics fans here:

1. Does the DCU have a good super-criminal prison like The Raft?

2. What are good alien races that have attempted to invade the DCU in the past? Something like the Kree or the Skrull. I know the Thanagarians but beyond that I'm drawing a blank.

1. There is one but I'm blanking on what it's called... It's "The Something"...

Keystone City has Iron Heights where they keep the Flash villains.

Gotham City has Black...something Prison... Blackgate!

Metropolis has... uhhh.. something Island...

Fuck... this board has made me more of a Marvel guy than a DC guy!

2. DC did a whole crossover in the 80s called Invasion. Everyone from the Daxamites, the Dominators, The Khunds and the Thanagarians invaded to get a piece of Earth and wipe out the Superhumans.

This was back when DC crossovers were awesome and didn't reboot their entire universe for no fucking reason.

The Slab!

That's what the DC Prison is called!

I like COIE but the first time I read it I got a huge headache. I had to research up to find out what was going on.

I really cannot fathom why they decided to bring all of that back. It just leads to so many inconsistencies and confusion. At least for me.

The Metropolis Prison is called Stryker's Island.

I am so disappointed that I had to google to find that out.

Sigh.

Belle Reve is still around in the DCU as well, but the aforementioned Slab is more akin to The Raft than anything else.

Belle Reeve was the one Waller was running a while back right?

I am losing my DC powers!!
