1[[WMG: Shows that might become future comics]]
2* WesternAnimation/TheRomanHolidays
3** The DarkerAndEdgier premise will be that it is actually set in an AlternateHistory where the Roman Empire never fell and instead conquered a massive portion of the world. The Holidays live in a city that is part of the empire's colonies in North America. Gus and his family live normal lives until a tyrant takes over and the empire begins to crumble around them.
4* WesternAnimation/TopCat
5** The premise will be that the gang of cats are now a far more morally dubious street gang in a cesspool of a city where only a few hapless cops, including Dibble, are standing in the way of crime. The thing that makes us root for the gang is that this is a world of FantasticRacism by a majority of normal humans against a minority of anthropomorphic cats and possibly other FunnyAnimal species. It will be filled with DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything regarding the modern racial tensions and highly publicized PoliceBrutality present in the modern United States.
6* WesternAnimation/SpeedBuggy
7** The premise is that the characters are reimagined as fugitives of a fascist government in a dystopian America. Tinker is an Edward Snowden inspired figure who exposed that the government was spying on people through cameras hidden in their cars, Mark is a Native American activist who was tortured for protecting his tribe's private land from wealthy land developers, and Debbie was part of the unwilling harem of the President for Life who helped Tinker and Mark escape in exchange for protection. Speed Buggy is an upgrade on the spy cars that gained sentience thanks to a glitch in his programming, who the three use as their getaway vehicle. The four now evade capture as best they can until they can find a way to get out of the country and seek asylum, while various criminals from the show try to capture them in exchange for immunity from the law.
8* WesternAnimation/MobyDickHannaBarbera
9** The premise is that Tom and Tub are child spies during the Cold War who infiltrate a soviet submarine, which inadvertently breaks down. Tom and Tub awake in an undersea facility where the soviets were heading, where they find a captured whale who has been experimented upon to be a hyper-intelligent super weapon. They use the whale to return to safety on land, but find that they activated a cybernetic implant in its brain when they did so, causing it to imprint on them as its masters. The two learn that they were comatose for a very long time...and that they were taken to the facility rather than having swam there. The two use the whale, dubbed Moby Dick, to discover what really happened under the sea.
10* WesternAnimation/TheBiskitts
11** The premise is essentially ''The Biskitts'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' and (for additional weirdness) ''Film/HanselAndGretelWitchHunters''.
12* WesternAnimation/TheAmazingChanAndTheChanClan
13** The premise is that Charlie Chan is hired by the United States government to investigate a conspiracy...and ends up getting killed. His children, who are all a couple years older than in the show (implying it is canonical in some way), team up together to avenge his death.
14* WesternAnimation/YogiBear
15** The premise is that Jellystone Park is a national park that has turned into a hellhole [[GreenAesop due to an oil pipeline]] that unleashed dark magic energy trapped beneath the land. It is now ruled by monstrous bears who have gained human qualities and eat humans to maintain these qualities. The Ranger Smith of this is part of a military unit that keeps the bears at bay, who discovers three innocent bears, Yogi, Boo Boo and Cindy, who carry the secret to sedating their kind.
16* WesternAnimation/HongKongPhooey
17** The premise is that it'll be a StealthParody of ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'', with Hong Kong Phooey as an angst-ridden vigilante in a bleak, crumbling city. The people will be [[LittleBitBeastly humans with slight animal attributes]] that are not commented on.
18* WesternAnimation/PunkinPussAndMushmouse
19** The title duo are [[AdaptationalVillainy the villains]] in an homage/sendup to HillbillyHorrors films and film series such as ''Film/WrongTurn'', ''Film/{{Pumpkinhead}}'', ''Film/MotelHell'', and ''Film/JustBeforeDawn''. The main protagonists will actually be tourists/campers who are menaced by Punkin' Puss and Mushmouse.
20%%* WesternAnimation/TheGaryColemanShow
21%%** Whoever thought of that WMG is a sick bastard!
22* WesternAnimation/GaltarAndTheGoldenLance
23** A straight SwordsAndSorcery ActionSeries that is faithful to the original series but with [[BloodierAndGorier some actual blood-spilling violence]] and [[HotterAndSexier some legit adult situations with Galtar and the ladies]].
24* WesternAnimation/{{Foofur}}
25** The animals are not anthropomorphic, instead being realistic animals in realistic situations. Gruesome ''Literature/WatershipDown''–level situations, if not ''Literature/ThePlagueDogs''-level.
26* WesternAnimation/{{Trollkins}}
27** The trolls partake in a BlackComedy filled parody of [[Film/TheSmurfs the live action/CGI "going to the real world" Smurfs movies]] where the trolls go to land in modern day [[AliensInCardiff Sahuarita, Arizona]] and wreak havoc upon learning of the modern connotations of the word troll and figuring that that's just things are done there. It ends after four issues or less with the trolls being messily killed by the residents of the town.
28* WesternAnimation/GravedaleHigh
29** A true to its roots story with the same premise as the show, except now set in a more modern school where the students deal with issues that impact modern, 2010s teenagers.
30* WesternAnimation/LoopyDeLoop
31** The comic would have strong racism themes on account of Loopy being persecuted just for being a wolf.
32* ComicBook/WackyRaceland
33** There will be a second volume if and when Creator/TomHardy makes another ''Film/MadMax'' film, and it will at some point cross over with similar H-B shows like ''WesternAnimation/LaffALympics'' and ''WesternAnimation/YogisSpaceRace''.
34* WesternAnimation/JanaOfTheJungle
35** Instead of really being a real JunglePrincess, "Jana" will be a character played by an actress who is hit on the head while playing her [[AmnesiacCostumeIdentity and then wakes up, sees the costume, and then believes she's the "real" Jana stolen from the jungle.]] The rest of the series is the other actors and the crew trying to help the actress before she gets herself killed in her attempts to escape the city.
36* WesternAnimation/DrakPack
37** A companion series to ComicBook/ScoobyApocalypse that shows the adventures of three human teens who somehow retained their intelligence and personalities after being transformed into a vampire, a Frankenstein's Monster, and a werewolf. They now seek out any other "good monsters" like themselves to try to fight the other monsters and rebuild society together.
38* ''Peter Potamus''
39** Peter and So-So are the last living creatures on Earth, gazing out at the scorched, ruined, post-apocalyptic Earth from a hot air balloon.
40* ''WesternAnimation/HeidisSong''
41** An adaptation of the movie that is inter spliced with jumps to Heidi's adulthood.
42* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperGlobetrotters''
43** A serious take on the concept of five members of the basketball team being superheroes, where the five main characters are the only survivors of an accident that killed their teammates. A scientist [[WeCanRebuildHim rebuilt them as cyborgs]] afterwards, giving them superpowers in the process. The five members hate this new existence and become superheroes only in the hope that [[DeathSeeker a villain will destroy them and put them out of their misery.]]
44* ''WesternAnimation/TwoStupidDogs''
45** A series of short gag comics put in other series as back-up stories.
46* ''WesternAnimation/HuckleberryHound''
47** A sequel/companion miniseries to ''Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles'', showing him fight to the death with the villains from his cartoons.
48* ''WesternAnimation/{{Wildfire}}''
49** A very short miniseries that adapts the show faithfully, but leaves it ambiguous if the events are real or just an imaginary story Sara dreamt up.
50* ''WesternAnimation/SecretSquirrel''
51** A dark and gritty spy drama in the vein of Literature/TheBourneSeries or Literature/JackRyan.

54[[WMG: Shows that HAVE to become future comics]]
55* WesternAnimation/PotsworthAndCompany
56* WesternAnimation/SWATKats
57** Apparently the rights reverted to the creators.
58* It would be a crime to not mention ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesOfDarkWater''!
59
60[[WMG: Shows that CANNOT become future DC comics]]
61* WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussycats
62** Extremely unlikely, since ''Josie and the Pussycats'' is an Creator/ArchieComics property and appear in their own comics.
63* Franchise/TheSmurfs
64** Sony seems to have the monopoly on the Smurfs franchise.
65* WesternAnimation/TheCompletelyMentalMisadventuresOfEdGrimley
66** It's impossible to reboot a cartoon based on a SNL/SCTV character... I must say!
67* WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots
68** Tonka was bought out by Hasbro, which would, ironically, house the [=GoBots=] with the Transformers.
69* Pretty much any cartoon that H-B did that was based on toys like Monchhichis and Pound Puppies.
70* ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken''
