Everything they borrowed, they gave new names, to make sure they're their own property, their own independent universe at least from a legal standpoint, even if narratively, the intention is for them to fit into the DWU--if we try to consider them DWU, they fail rule 2. But don't we do something similar for characters like The Mistress, K9 (The Choice) and a lot of other stuff from BBV? For what a different name is given, we create a different page, and for what the same name is given, we use the same page.
