"DC Comics had tentative plans to license Image Comics&amp;#039; flagship characters for a storyline of its own, according to a report. Bleeding Cool claims that co-publisher Jim Lee spoke with several of his Image co-founders about bringing the likes of Spawn, Savage Dragon and Youngblood to the DC Universe.   The storyline was to be a year-long event running across multiple titles, offering a reimagined take on the heroes. Erik Larsen, Todd McFarlane, Jim Valentino, Marc Silvestri and Rob Liefeld are all said to have attended meetings about the project. DC and Wildstorm freelancers were to work on the books, but Image Comics would retain the rights to publish their existing titles starring the characters, as they would be licensed out on a non-exclusive basis. It is unknown why the project did not bear fruit, but the announcement of DC&amp;#039;s company-wide reboot is thought to have played a significant part. Last month, it was confirmed that Lee will collaborate with Scott Snyder on a new Superman title after his run on Justice League has concluded. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
