* BrokenBase: Individually, some of the comics are considered fun reinventions of classic DC characters, but others are either seen as boring in comparison to the original versions or [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks have too much in common[[ with the Marvel characters that Lee created. The argument therefore boils down to which stories are good and bad.

** Batman is a black man in this series. DC also created a universe (Earth-23) where most of the prominent superheroes were either DC's pre-existing black heroes (Black Lightning, Mister Miracle) or got a RaceLift (Superman, Wonder Woman), with ''Batman'' [[TokenWhite being the main exception to that]].
*** In addition, the 2021 "Future State" event, taking a look at the future of the DC Universe, had Tim Fox, an African-American man, as the new Batman.
** Speaking of RaceLift, the ''Wonder Woman'' title brought a black Steve Trevor way before ''ComicBook/WonderWomanEarthOne'' did the same. Wonder Woman herself would also eventually get a mainline latina counterpart with a direct link to latin-american mythology much like this version in the form of Yara Flor, though she would be Brazilian (and her ties to Tupi-Guarani folklore) rather than Peruvian (and linked to Inca mythology).

* IronWoobie: Even when rebuilt from scratch, Batman couldn't escape being this. In this universe, Wayne Williams was an inner city kid who lost his father after he was shot and killed by a local crimelord, ended up himself injured, [[MiscarriageOfJustice framed, and thrown in prison]] by that same crimelord, then learned that his mother had also passed while he was behind bars. Fortunately, he uses his time in prison to strengthen his body and mind, and after being released early on good behavior, [[SelfMadeMan uses his newfound skills to become a successful professional wrestler]], eventually developing the resources to avenge his parents and become a BadassNormal superhero in his own right.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Overall ''Just Imagine...'' is seen as odd piece of DC history and while some aspects are liked, nobody especially loved Lee's version of the DC universe.
