I can see some value in a template that treats the Masters of the Universe or Scooby-Doo as a franchise - or, at least, a page that says "this is what the MotU is, this is their relationship with DC over the years, this is where you can find more info."

I think it would be more appropriate to manually add "Masters of the Universe Titles" or, even just "Masters of the Universe" as a category to issues and volumes of DC-published stuff.

What I see no value in is creating "franchise" pages for characters that belong to the company our website is about in the first place. This is why "franchise" as a word bothers me, because it leads people like Sean, here, to think "Let's apply the franchise template to everything that is a franchise." When what we really want is "Let's have a page for licensed characters and properties so that we don't actually have to cover the material that belongs under that license."
