If we don't do a soap opera recast where everybody just remembers him as looking like that it would change the whole nature of the show. Wasn't he supposed to be the last of his race? But then it is Scifi.

In 1978 Steve Gerber and Dave Sims got together for negotiations for a crossover for between Howard the Duck and Cerberus the Aardvark.
Said crossover would be a boost for the independent publishers and the first time Howard would team up with a protagonist from another comic since Gerber's days at Fawcett. However negotiations between both Dave and Steve were chaotic and though advertisements were developed in both comics publications the actual crossover would not see print until 1980
Sadly I think TMNT are going to be butterflied away ITTL what with Peter Cannon thunderbolt taking the Daredevil name, and Mr. Scarlet getting the Matt Murdock persona. And no indication that Frank Miller will tackle either if the plan is to put him on Superman instead of Batman I don't see Ninja turtles happening.
I'm really not happy about it.
Could Atlas come up with another Hero was a similar back story to ‘our’ Matt Murdock/Daredevil, that the Turtles can riff off?
Or indeed perhaps Eastman or Laird (or both) end up coming up with an inde book that does riff off an existing Hero that just catches fire because it’s that good?
Maybe one of them works at Atlas and TMNT becomes one of their quirky team books? They did made the Animen, Wondagore Knights, Woodgod, Man-Wolf etc otl? Perhaps linked to Luke Cage, Spider-Man, and the other street Heroes of NYC, with a dash of mutant rights theme slipped in?

I just wanna reiterate that I was never serious about Miller taking Superman instead of Batman (keep Miller as far away from Superman as fucking possible, honestly).
If the tuturles don't come to be may one of thier less succefull comptiors like street sharks, dino sacuers or samuria pizzia cats will become huge
If the Ninja Turtles don't exist neither do the Street Sharks.
I disagree. I think it possalbe that one of the more orignal turutle commptiors like dionsausrs , samuria pizaia cats or biker mice form mars could have been created even if the ninja turtle neaver wer
Most if not all of these were created in the 90s when TMNT were at there height which is why they were ripped off.

I think the turtle would be butterfly away, as DD was a direct influence, specially the martial arts focus it have, without it, not turtles, or very different ones, they might get interested into asian martial arts but would be a different animal(pun semi-intended) without daredevil
Why would DC let a minor artist who never written before , take over their Flagship Character?
When Marvel let Miller start to write Daredevil , there was talk about canceling the title. '
They had nothing to lose by giving Daredevil to Miller.
If Miller is at DC, he going to be writing on one of their minor characters.
Crimson Avenger ? A modern Captain Midnight?
