Are Ninja Turtles DC

 

Are Ninja Turtles DC?

Are Ninja Turtles DC? This is a popular question that is often asked by comic book fans as these two universes have been crossing paths almost since their respective debuts. The answer is: no, Ninja Turtles are not DC characters.

Ninja Turtles are the result of two separate yet related franchises. These franchises include both DC and Mirage comics, the former of which was created by the legendary comic book writer, artist, and publisher, Stan Lee. DC comics published the original Ninja Turtles comic series in 1984, while Mirage comics is home to the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics series, created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in 1985.

Reasons why Ninja Turtles are not DC:

 

    • DC does not have ownership of the Ninja Turtles franchise: While DC published the original series, Mirage comics holds the copyright to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles character and series. As such, DC does not have any ownership of the franchise.

 

    • No collaboration between Mirage and DC Comics: While DC did publish the original Ninja Turtles series, there has been no collaboration between the two companies. Mirage and DC both work separately—the former creating and owning Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles while the latter publishes other famous comic franchises like Superman and Batman.

 

    • DC and Mirage have different art styles: The art style of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics is quite different from DC’s. While DC has its own particular art style, Mirage takes a more cartoon-like approach to its artwork. This further reinforces the idea that DC and Mirage are separate entities.

 

As stated above, Ninja Turtles are not DC characters. While DC did publish their original series, they do not own the franchise or collaborate with Mirage on any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles related projects. Furthermore, the art styles of the two companies are completely different. This indicates that, while DC and Mirage coexist in the comic book world, they are two distinct entities.
