Starting out mostly for his own amusement in a serious of You Tube videos: This is a possible forthcoming series of films by Austin McConnell. Stating he was tired of the over-the-top and overly produced superhero films of the major studios he "created" his own cinematic universe using long time defunct PD characters. He was surprised by the enthusiasm displayed by fans of Atlas, the first film in the series. He decided to crowdsource funding for the film and it appears to be in production. I actually found out about this after i suggested Six-Gun Gorilla might be fun to use in the pulp heroes thread. I then did some further research on him and became aware of the BBCU when his wiki said he had been voted by crowdsourcing as the BBCU character to have his own cameo in the post credits scene. This series could be one of those to become a cult hit or die a quick agonizing death.
The proposed series: Atlas, coming in 2023 Blue Bolt Cat-Man facing (I believe an OC) Man-Cat Spider Queen Six-Gun Gorilla Landor, a Dr. Frankenstein analogue and Little Red Riding hood.
Apparently Red brings them all together when she decides to take a shortcut to Grandmas' house by creating a portal to teleport through the woods but something goes awry and she needs to call reinforcements to help her defeat Landor and Man-Cat.
I guess we'll have to see if Atlas makes it worthwhile to continue with the series.

Sorry, Doc. I can't do links. The only one I ever did was by mistake when i got distracted and pushed down too hard on the mouse. After being redirected from Six-Guns wiki to a You Tube video i did a search for Bargain Bin Cinematic Universe. That brought up a couple of articles.

It looks like he is planning to update the PD heroes to make them exist today. That makes sense. I wouldn't pick the same heroes, but I hope he has luck with the ones he does pick!

I wish there existed some 'easy animation' software, so I could generate the Other Earth Cinematic Universe!

Austin McConnell had an update on his project that he posted on YouTube. Suppossedly pre-production has finished on Atlas and main production is ready to start. The movie will be in 3-D and can now be pre-ordered for $20.00. He also claims there will be a Cat-Man animated saturday morning series this fall, a Spider Queen book later this year including audio version and says he is calling the universe: Superzeros. Unless I learn differently I am taking him at his word that this is real.

The Spider Queen book is now out. So at least that part of the Zeroverse is happening. McConnell has made the first chapter available for free on YouTube. It is accompanied by AI created animation. At least one comment has called him out on releasing this during a writers/actors strike where one of the major concerns is being replaced by AI.

I hope that won't mean any problem with our using those characters on Earth 4.
