I've been wanting to do a Beetle/Stargate crossover myself, actually. You're definitely not the only one. What I was going to do was totally AU the Beetle stuff insto its own little world (I can't imagine Stargate and the entire DCU existing in the same universe, but I didn't want to play a big OMG We've Stepped Into An AU kinda thing), and then plop that into the Stargate Universe, so you wound up with a youngish Ted who 1) for some reason had the scarab, who'd just witnessed Dan's death, was implicated in both the murder of Jarvis and Dan (as he should have been), and was getting hounded by the Air Force about this scarab he claimed not to have, or whatever. The idea sort of faded out over time, but that was how I was gonna play it.
It would be really interesting to do a "quantum mirror" kinda thing with the Stargate crew, and have them in the DCU, trying to figure out the essence of all this Egyptian stuff. What do you have there, anyway? The Hawkfolks, Dr. Fate, Blue Beetle, etc.
I'd like to see the Goa'ulds as both chaos and order. I mean, there's a lot of Goa'uld infighting, isn't there? (Obviously, the thing that got me caught up with the previously mentioned Beetlefic is my lack of serious Stargate knowledge. I need to brush up.) *eyes Hawk and Dove, now*
Mmmm.
although, man, the sheer number of people with Egyptian backgrounds in the DCU is kind of ridiculous. I guess it's of the "just esoteric enough" school or something.
I think your ramblings inspired mine. Alas I'm in the same boat in that I really don't know that much Stargate, other than the basics. (I do know people who know the verse though...)
And let's not forget Teth Adam aka Black Adam in that mix.
I could see that. That would work really well actually.
It would be interesting if he was at the SGC. I bet he'd figure out how to reprogram the replicators and make them good. I mean, having a friendly legion of mechanical bugs would be really, really hard for him to resist.
You could always use the Tok'ra as the order or the chaos. Plus there's the Ancients and the Ascended. Really, the Goa'uld would be chaos and the Ascended would be order. Or possibly the Asgard. But they all suck. Hawk and Dove would definitely have their work cut out for them.
Really if the focus is on the DC characters and you're familiar-ish with SG-1, you could pull it off. I love the show, but it's not overly complicated if you're looking at the big picture of it.
And it occurs to me that Ra's ah Ghul and the Goa'uld would get along really, really, really well.
All this talk about two of my favorite fandoms is really making me want to write a fic.
Man, I'm going to watch some more Stargate one of these days, and then I will try to write a fic. Probably I'll set it in the first season so I can just handwavey everything after that. Because I'm lazy. :D
Hmph. Because ya'll don't know enough about Stargate? Might have to.
That and the thought of Ted playing with ickle replicators fills me with glee.
I wasn't too crazy about this last season but the earlier stuff was brill. And it doesn't suck yet. Though next year it's going to be StarFarGateScape: SG-Andromeda. Haven't decided how I feel about that other than I'm going to be pining madly for Jack.
*chuckles* If you wanted to be really lazy you could just go with something like the movie. ;)

Um, er, actually I was just thinking that, since I've seen the movie. I was wondering if maybe Dan Garrett was on one of the archeological digs that found some of the Stargate relics.

Oh man. Black Adam would have so much fun with the Goa'uld. Though I think he'd be happier screwing over the Tok'ra.

Heck, you could even replace young!Jack with a sack of flour and it's would be an improvement. Kurt Russell makes me sad.
Or even better, replace Jack with Booster. Heh.
