Here a rumor I just want to say DC comics to replace Marvel Island. Nothing real to claim but photo's I took at my last trip to Universal Studios Orlando. I saw DC T-shirts, figures and other merchandise on sale at Universal Studios Orlando at T2-3D store. I had check the rest of the stores around the resort both UOA and Island of Adventure, but only at this T2 store is where you can find them. If you think about it seems to be a prefect cost issue here, then making a whole new land. Also, some Screamscape rumors have a lot talk about Marvel merchandise at Universal Studios Hollywood discounted as part of a cleaning house effort. I don't know about you, but this seem like Marvel is on there way out.  May not happened very soon, but I do see it out on horizons. But what about Six Flags, don't they have a contract with Warner Brothers for the DC characters. It seems strange to see DC at Six Flags and Universal having rides based on Supermand, Batman, and Wonder Woman at both parks. Hey if anybody got anything about it post it up here.
Here's my photo as proof. Check out that Universal tag their.



All of this is located at the T2-3D store.

has Universal done any dc comics films? if so then it would explain the merchandise. Also I really never got why six flags had dc comics characters anyway besides being to lazy to have original ones

I think Six Flags have weakened the DC brand by building tons of ride clones  of varied quality.  I think Universal could outbid SF for the rights, but would it be worth it?
I see Marval as a Cadillac and DC as a Pontiac Sunfire.  They will both get you there, but I would keep the Caddy as long as I could.

I think that while DC isn't as star studded they do have batman and superman. Universal could easily out-bid six flags.
