Though that's regarding allusions. What the characters are actually based on, in terms of design, abilities, personality, etc...that can be as modern as you want. Neon Katt is a good example, with her design based on the Nyan Cat.

..... But, here's a fun bit. Last time I checked, comic books, including DC, have been existing since even before WW2. Comic Books originated in the 18th century, and developed further in the 1830s and 1930s in Europe and America respectively. Comic Books are technically literature, or a subset of literature.

In other words....they are available as allusions for OCs. DC Comics themselves aren't even relatively recent either. So basically....DC Super Villains is a possible option for a team theme, even if a stupid option. WHOA! *Fist pump* VICTORY IS MINE!
