''DC You'' was an comic book initiative launched by Creator/DCComics in 2015, spinning out of ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'', which saw the end of the ''ComicBook/New52'' branding. The initiative put an emphasis on "story over continuity", loosening the restrictions of continuity to allow for a diverse range of genres. Many notable characters also underwent status quo changes.

The rest of them (minus a planned Raven series written by Marv Wolfmann) were consolidated into a monthly {{anthology}} called '''''Legends of Tomorrow''''' -- [[NamesTheSame not to be confused with]] [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow the television series of the same name]].

* '''''ComicBook/{{Firestorm}}''''': Written by Gerry Conway, his creator.

* '''''ComicBook/{{Starfire}}''''': Her first ongoing title.

* '''''ComicBook/BatmanBeyond:''''' Moving from digital-first to print. Spinning out from ''[[ComicBook/TheNew52FuturesEnd Futures End]]''.

While ''DC You'' brought some acclaim to the company with an emphasis on diversity (namely in titles like ''ComicBook/{{Midnighter}}'', ''ComicBook/OmegaMen'', and ''ComicBook/BlackCanary''), overall sales of their books hit new lows, sinking down to what they were ''before'' the New 52 launched. Because of it, ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' --a line-wide rebranding-- launched in June 2016, revitalizing sales.

* '''''All-Star Section 8''''': Limited series focusing on characters from the 90s comic ''ComicBook/{{Hitman|1993}}''.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Many superheroes, previously paragons of justice and benevolence, have become more violent and aggressive; like Franchise/{{Superman}}.

How do you reinvent 70+ year-old characters to make them more accessible to modern audiences? By taking away what made them so iconic in the first place, strip them to their bare essence and make them do something... new.

At least, this was Creator/DCComics thought they were doing when starting ''DC YOU'', a comic book phase that started at the end of ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'', which saw the end of the ''ComicBook/{{New 52}}'' branding. The status quo for many characters was changed, their outfits were changed, even their personalities and identities were changed.
