How come we don't get anime and cartoon crossovers? People would watch it. Either in comic/manga form or cartoons, it never happens. Why? What's stopping DC from having a Goku meets Superman comic?

The best you can hope for is a doujin.
Copyright laws. Many creators on both sides of the puddle would love to do it, but the rights holders are so severely israeli that the prospect of losing out on any % of the profits is too great a loss.
It's why crossovers typically stick to works within an umbrella.
This. A Marvel vs Capcom comic/manga would be friggin awesome but it probably won't happen due to what you said.
I don't know
the closest we get is capcom vs marvel
Because Japanese media companies have historically been very unwilling to play ball with foreign companies and they make demands that foreign companies find unreasonable (because they are). American media companies are more than happy to let Japanese creatorsd do their own thing with their IP (like the many Japanese Spider-Man and Batman manga), but the Japanese do not reciprocate.
That's bad for some thing but it's also good for others. Imagine if every iconic manga or anime was prostituted out in the west and had 10 western spin offs. Having some restrains on your IP is a good thing.
What about Transformers?
Transformers is an American brand. The Japanese had the Diaclone and Micro Change toylines, Hasbro took the toy designs and then created a new IP and with Marvel Comics' helped created original lore and characters.
ironically the opposite happened with mvci
I know that realistically Batman could find and defeat Light but what about Lelouch?
I mean he could probably bullshit a victory due to all the nonsense he's pulled over the years, though I doubt he would.
with prep time
He would be helping Lelouch.
Because most modern western companies are run by idiots. It's the same reason why we haven't had a DC and Marvel crossover in the past 2 decades. If a company can't make all the money why would they do something.
I think the biggest reason is the Jap cartoonists probably hate present day cartoons
I doubt they care
>reason is the Jap cartoonists probably hate present day cartoons
the keyword is “probably” because you are making shit out of your ass
Just remember that when anime fans say that Japs hate current day cartoons, they aren't actually Japanese, they're just weaboos who really wanna be Japanese but aren't.
Go away esl.
That chess board makes me physically ill.
Ban AIslop.
copyright. A lot of these japanese companies straight out refuse to lend shit, and if they do they charge ludicrous amounts
makes me wonder how easily epic games manages to put naruto and superman in the same game
because fortnite makes an infinite amount of money
Write the crossover.
They fight. Supes has the power but shit fighting ability and Goku the opposite. They do a training montage. Frieza and Brainiac do a teamup for the final punch up
Motherfrickers would pay good money for a shonen anime starrring Val, Danny, Ryu, and Batman.
Look at wearing that hat
>already forgetting Deadpool Samurai
We have a 2 chapter long All-Might VS Thanos fight that wasn't a joke, what more do you want?
the fact that Simpsons had not one, but TWO crossovers/parodies of Death Note is... surprising
Light is a pussy ass b***h, if you read the manga you’ll know that
We've had a few
Quick, post your favourite crossover art
Why is there so much crossover between SU and Jojo?
Battletech (Tabletop Game) bought the rights to use a bunch of Japanese mecha designs, but then ran into legal trouble for like 20 years and only in the last 5 got the rights to finally use them again.
Look at this thing, Marauder, it's literally just the Zentradi Officer's battle pod like what gigachad Khyron piloted.
Because entertainment exists to generate profit, not to entertain.
you can't tell me you wouldn't want a comic of batman and metaknight teaming up to fight joker and marx.
>irrelevant time wasting question
Happens a lot with AI threads
The Japanese are incredibly difficult to work with. While I feel dirty saying it this is honestly because they are an almost comically ethnocentric people and generally would rather do things their own way in their own self-contained market than adapt to business practices of the rest of the world and thus increase their reach enormously.
You ever notice that Japanese movies ALL uniformly suck except in like one and a half genres? What was the last live-action Japanese film you saw that was good, Kurosawa did it right? That was probably 70 years ago. My grandfather was younger than I am now the last time the Japanese made a good movie. This is because their practices are fricking autistic and they refuse to learn from the people who actually know what they're doing.
There's a lot of irony in this given the impact of Disney stuff on Anime so I think it's a more recent development, but it's not necessarily a glitch, more of a feature, because it gives the Japanese a unique style that stands out.
