My head is filled with Spider-Man and DC Comics in general, so you'll suffer from my ideas along with me. I'm honestly upset that on AO3 and social media, there's little mention of Peter's interactions with the Justice League as a whole, not just Batman and his pack.
The DC universe includes Marvel comics. They were popular in the second half of the 20th century and didn't achieve great fame, but Spider-Man stood out among them, still resonating with both children and adults. Of course, over time, the hero couldn't compete with the abundance of real-life heroes, but over the course of several decades, he has become an inspiration for both ordinary civilians and not-so-ordinary people.
And, through random universe-hopping, Peter Parker (an adult!! NOT A TEENAGER) finds himself right at the Watchtower during a League meeting. A skirmish ensues, where Spider-Man is clearly at a disadvantage but handles it well. Someone mentions his civilian identity, and it dawns on him that this is THAT PETER PARKER.
A multitude of funny and not-so-funny moments follow, where Parker isn't entirely happy with everyone knowing his past or embarrassing moments, but at the same time, he acts as a kind of mentor to the others. I can see him interacting on equal terms with Batman and Superman, or, conversely, joking with Green Lantern and Flash, and marveling at the magic of Constantine and Zatanna.
AND OH GOD I FEEL THE STAKES: WHICH COMIC VERSION IS THE BEST FOR THIS PETER PARKERā¦ there would be so many guesses about who Peter was dating, when he was bitten, and just all the other nonsense from the comics and DC adaptations that existed.
I think this could be turned into a 5+1 story, because I really love this trope, or just as a collection of short storiesā¦ I don't know, I hope I have time for that someday.
