why not use a character from Warcraft or Star Trek or Bleach or JoJo of any of the huge untapped IPs they haven't used.

Maybe it takes too much work for them? Rabid fan bases would react badly if they screwed it up? I guess that kind of already happens a bit..

I mean, unless they actually fear someone visiting them and trying to murder them...don't they want fanbases to go rabid and create buzz?

Good point. Maybe the difference is between putting out a decently researched, but divisive opinion as opposed to a totally half-assed opinion? I can see the prior garnering attention. Maybe the latter would just cause people to tune out. Just speculating though. I guess they did a DB with Zoro from One Piece. That's a big massive franchise right?

One piece is the best selling single comic run in history, so yeah, big fan base
