[[caption-width-right:350:[[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bat Man]], Franchise/DocSavage, & ComicBook/TheSpirit]]
A {{pulp}} reimagining of Franchise/TheDCU, launched in 2009 with ''Batman/Doc Savage Special #1''. Written by Creator/BrianAzzarello, the First Wave universe features reimaginings of classic DC heroes interacting with classic pulp fiction heroes. Notably, no one has superpowers; everyone either is a BadassNormal or has a CharlesAtlasSuperpower. The setting itself is an intentional AnachronismStew of Tommy guns and jet planes, [[CoolAirship dirigibles]] and [[CoolCar Ferraris]], computers and walkie-talkies. There will, apparently, also be [[DarkestAfrica jungles]].
The principals of ''First Wave'' are:
* Literature/TheAvenger: Richard Henry Benson is back, and according to WordOfGod, "has issues".
* Franchise/{{Batman}}: Specifically, the ''original'' Batman from 1939 (even though he's still Batman and not ''the Bat-Man''). This version of the Dark Knight is far more playboy millionaire than brooding gargoyle-dweller. Most notably, he's ''[[GunsAkimbo packing heat]]''.
* ComicBook/BlackCanary: Reimagined as an Indian-American teenager named Diyata Dasari.
* [[Comicbook/{{Blackhawk}} ''The Blackhawks'']]: The [[AcePilot fighter pilots]] are back. At least one of them is a LegacyCharacter from the UsefulNotes/WorldWarII-era team.
* Franchise/DocSavage: Instead of the [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Man of Steel]], we have the Man of Bronze. Appears to be dealing with the loss of his father and seeking a diversion (wanted criminal Batman in his First Wave appearance).
* ''Rima the Jungle Girl'': Mute JunglePrincess with a distinctly more savage appearance than anyone else.
* ''ComicBook/TheSpirit'': Denny Colt's city doesn't appear to be screaming anymore. Notably, his version of Ebony White is a girl.
----
!!Tropes:
* TheAmazon: Rima is from there and her stories are located within the Amazon.
* CurbStompBattle: Doc Savage hands one to ''the Goddamn Batman''.
* TwoFistedTales: This is a homage to old pulp tales, complete with versions of Doc Savage and Rima from ''Green Mansions''. The current page image even sees Rima (albeit one modeled on DC's earlier version from the mid-1970s) and Savage about to confront the Spirit and Blackhawk.
