Which DC villian would be the best stand alone film?

[Supercash]

Which villians would work in a stand alone film, either about the origins of the character or just about the character.

My two would be:
1. The Joker :joker:
2. Parallax

[Katsuro]

Well, the Joker already had his. A film all about Parallax would be neat. And they're doing a Magneto spinoff film, but I'm not sure how that's gonna turn out...

[Kane]

Darkseid and The New Gods

[cerealkiller182]

Something like the Suicise Squad where bad guys are used by the gov't as good guys type a thing would work.

[TheFalcon]

To make a movie like that I think you somehow should be made to root for the guy. I don't see that happening with Joker or Darkseid.

Lex Luthor on the other hand could fit the bill if they made it kinda like the Man of Steel mini. He's the smartest and richest man on earth and he wants the human race to achieve things by themselves and not always be rescued and get help from some alien with superpowers who could take over the world whenever he wanted.

He's not really that evil when you see it that way and it's easy to understand his position. He does tend to go for crazy plans involving killing alot of people most of the time, but still he has a point.

[The Question]

You don't necesairily have to root for the main character. And, if the movie is well written, the main character could be the most ****ed up psycho in the world, and you'd be rooting for him. It all depends.

[deathshead2]

deadshot just use his mini series it would be a great movie.

[Ben Breeck]

Hmmm...

So far, DC has done only two ongoing books with a villain as the title character: Joker and Deathstroke.

Joker wouldn't work; he's already been done.

Deathstroke might. Imagine if the government had tried to create Captain America during the Vietnam War... only they somewhat botched it, and then discarded him after the war was over like a used tissue, to try to make his way in the world as a mercenary and professional hitman. Even his wife tried to kill him.

[Ben Breeck]

deadshot just use his mini series it would be a great movie.

The one where he cleans up his daughter's neighborhood, or the one were he and Deathstroke have accepted contracts to kill each other?

[deathshead2]

The one where he cleans up his daughter's neighborhood, or the one were he and Deathstroke have accepted contracts to kill each other?Hmm both could work very well.

[TwilightPro101]

Blockbuster from Nightwing

[Rob Lobo]

Catman???

[SolidRoar]

- Lex Luthor

- Ra's al Ghul

- Bane

Those are my picks.

[King Ruler]

I'm with Lex Luthor, Ra's Al Ghul, Suicide Squad, and Deathstroke.

Maybe Scarecrow would be a nice one, too. I can see a real nice thriller coming from that one. And maybe Vandal Savage.

[comicbookmaster]

Cat-man and Deathstroke would make an excellent villain movie!!!

[Hellion]

Poison Ivy.

[TimDrake64x]

id say either a braniac, lex luthor, or a man-bat movie would work nicely.

braniac could be a good sci-fi thriller, likes aliens or something

luthor would only be good if it was like the man of steel mini, that thing was so good

and man-bat basically just speaks for itself, a dr jekle/mr. hyde type film.

[Peyton Westlake]

You can see the Hollywood thinktank kicking around this idea for awhile.

I like the Man-bat idea.:up:

Luthor could be interesting.

I'm not a real big Braniac fan.

[TimDrake64x]

I like the Man-bat idea.:up:

Luthor could be interesting.

I'm not a real big Braniac fan.

ya ive always like man-bat, hes just a really interesting character to contrast batman with. cant wait for the man-bat mini coming out soon

[giggs11uk]

two face could work as a pysco film having him start his nation of freaks i could see it happening.

[kirbyfan]

It's Darkseid and the New Gods, hands down!!

[Superman \S/]

I could see Lex maybe.

[Superman \S/]

It's Darkseid and the New Gods, hands down!!

That would be awesome.

[The Phantom]

Either Deathstroke or Lex Luthor

[GL1]

Deathstroke EVERY day of the week...

Lex almost demands Superman (who I wouldn't want as a supporting char), but Deathstorke? Perhaps some pesky Titans to slaughter and torture, the agony of what he's done to his kids coming back to haunt him... Deathstroke has plenty o material...

[The Question]

Why would Slade slaughter and torture the Titans? He was never out to kill them in the first place (although his employers were), and he's most certainly not a sadist.

[GL1]

Why would Slade slaughter and torture the Titans? He was never out to kill them in the first place (although his employers were), and he's most certainly not a sadist.

Hmm... perhaps I overstated my thought... what I MEANT to say was mercilessly defeat the Titans as a part of a contract or a larger scheme, not unlike his Villains united madness...

[The Question]

Slade sucks in Villains United. It's following the new tradition started by Geoff Johns to completely butcher his characterization. Johns turned him from an honorable masterless samurai type to a nutjob who would shove a live grenade down a baby's throat if you paid him five bucks.

[phoenix_force]

The make up woman from cat woman ! :)

[bengali]

I would say Lex Luthor! or Joker.

[thedarks0ldier]

I have been saying that for about a year.:up:

[Fused]

The Joker in a movie of The Killing Joke.

[Steelsheen]

yeah, Joker would make the best standalone villain film. he's recognizable enough to carry his own film.

[captain_jimbo]

I would say Lex Luthor! or Joker.

Yeah, I totally agree!
:up:

[darwinwins]

clayface.

or harley and poison ivy a la mad love.

[MrFreeze101]

um for me i know this is going to sound lame and corny but i got to go with you guessed it Mr Freeze it would be interesting you know victor fries who tries to save his wife from a deadly deaseas and freezes her only to end up turning into mr freeze

[Ceb-Man]

Lex Luthor
The Joker
Two-Face
Mr. Freeze
Catwoman ( Selina Kyle not Halle Berry CINO)

[spideymusprime]

I would have to say Joker. Lex Luthor Maybe. The other ones would either do poor business or flop.

[ReptileOrion]

Lex Luthor
Darkseid
Bane
The Joker
Ra's Al Ghul

I feel these villians could carry their own film. Ra's Al Ghul would be an interesting story simply because of age and the lazarus pit. The Joker could definitely work if they go in the direction of the Killing Joke. Lex Luthor could definitely hold his own film. I actually choose Bane because he is definitely an interesting character. The film should focus on more of his backgroud. It could work if it is done right but it could also be too much of a liability.

[StorminNorman]

Ra's or Lex would make for the most intresting movie IMO, however the Joker would make for the biggest hit - especially if it is done TKJ style.

[Eddie Dean]

Darkseid

[The Last Meatbag]

Hush

[ShadowBoxing]

Deathstroke

[Spike_x1]

Deathstroke. The synopsis here would be awesome:Deathstroke might. Imagine if the government had tried to create Captain America during the Vietnam War... only they somewhat botched it, and then discarded him after the war was over like a used tissue, to try to make his way in the world as a mercenary and professional hitman. Even his wife tried to kill him.Deadshot. Base it on his original miniseries, then use "Urban Renewal" as a sequel.

The Suicide Squad. Have it be a spinoff of Deadshot's movies (or vice versa).

Darkseid and the New Gods = Star Wars on steroids.

[shin_en]

My vote would go to Mr. Freeze. My take on it would be less actiony and more story based. I'd have most of the story revolve around his relationship with Nora and him trying to find a cure for her. I like the TAS take on his story. Maybe a condensed version of it, where his boss closes the project to save Nora's life and Victor becomes Mr. Freeze. He almost gets revenge, but Batman would make a cameo and stop him. In the end I'd have WayneCorp find a cure for Nora and her remarrying, thinking Victor dead. Quite tragic

[Mr. Walters]

To make a movie like that I think you somehow should be made to root for the guy. I don't see that happening with Joker or Darkseid.

Lex Luthor on the other hand could fit the bill if they made it kinda like the Man of Steel mini.

I kind of agree. I think Luthor would be the best villian for a film, but I would take a more GoodFellas/Sopranos take to it. Make it a story about a criminal working h is way up to be the boss of a huge criminal empire. He is after all, "The greatest criminal mind of our time!"

[Cyrusbales]

Clearly it has to be GOG from superman!!! The film would start with him idolising Superman etc, then getting neglected and gaining his pwer, then we get to see him hunt down supermen from across dimensions, so we get kick ass fights and finally we see superman get beaten and killed!!! What more do you want from a film!!!

[nolan's roll'n]

Lex Luthor

My idea for a Joker movie. Please be kind.

The Joker: Week One


Jack washes ashore about one mile away from a chemical factory in the midst of destruction. He lies at the outlet of a ditch and is found by Lonny Haggen, a fellow mobster. Lonny seems quite unworried and in control considering what just went on.

“How did you make it out?” Lonny asks not even breathing hard. Panting and aching Jack replies, “I swam through something marked chemical drainage.” “Good God man, do you know what kind of crap is in there? … But your alive, I guess.” Lonny says bewildered. “Hardly, my eyes, skin and mouth are burning” Jack moans. “OK, get up and get in the car and don’t even think about getting in the back seat… it’s the trunk for you.” Lonny shouts. Jack with his face muffled in the dirt says, “I can’t move… I feel like I’m being burned alive.” Lonny screams “Doncha hear those sirens the cops are coming… Get up and get over hear now!” Jack crawls to the car but collapses about half way there. Lonny grabs a blanket from out of his trunk and puts it over Jack. Using fingertips only he helps him get into the trunk and slams the door shut.

While in the trunk Jack hears Lonny on his cell phone “What do you want me to do with him…Are you sure… Ok, if that’s what he wants.” “Where are you taking me?” Jack shouts through the back seat. “They said to take you home.” Lonny chuckles.

They arrive at Jacks apartment, which is quite humble for a high-ranking mobster. Lonny knocks on the door and the instant it opens he throws Jack through. Jack wife, Maureen, screams, “ Oh my God, what did you do to him?” Their child starts to cry and a neighbor yells “Shut that kid up.” Lonny smirks and says “Someone will be back for him tomorrow. Make sure he’s cleaned up by then.” Maureen slams the door and rushes to her husband. “Jack, what happened?” she asks. Jack still moaning in pain responds, “I don’t know. Me and the boys had a job to do and people came out of nowhere. I don’t know who they were a rival mob, undercover cops, I just don’t know.” “How did you get out?” Maureen says holding back tears. “I found a drain and swam through it until it took me outside…that stuff, I’m burning, it went in my nose, my mouth, my eyes…” Maureen runs and grabs a rag and begins to wash him. “I’ll clean you up and get you to a hospital.” she says. “No…No,No,No…I’m not that bad.” says Jack pathetically. “Harry…” says Maureen. “Just please” Jack stands to his feet. She swears to him that she will not call the doctor and Jack stumbles across the room and gives her a hug. As he makes his way to the bedroom he passes out.

Jack wakes up the next day to hear his child crying and his wife arguing with their neighbor. He is very pale and his eyes are bloodshot. Maureen slams the door and yells “ Jackie get to bed. NOW!!!” Jack laughs (a little to hard). “I wasn’t trying to be funny.” she says. Jack responds, “I wasn’t laughing at you.” “So what were you laughing at?” Maureen says crossly. Jack shakes his head and says, “I don’t know.” “It must be your fever breaking.” Says Maureen feeling his forehead. Jack goes to get dressed asks his wife to let him know when those men get here adding “I don’t want them here any longer than they have to be.”… “ Your not going with them are you.,” says Maureen. Jack grabs his wife by the shoulders and says “Believe me its for the good of this family. I know that you can’t possibly understand.” Jack turns away itching and rubbing his eyes.

After getting down a bowl of soup Jack hears a knock at the door. Maureen slightly opens it and the door is forced open the rest of the way by 2 mobsters. McNamara and O’Harrah just stand at the door and say “C’mon.” Jack grabs his jacket and sickly walks out the door.

While getting in the car O’Harrah twists his head back and forth and pouts his lips. McNamara asks “What’s the matter with you.” “It’s this tie. It doesn’t look the same in this natural light. It looks good in-doors but now I don’t know.” says O’Harrah with a snobbish tone. “You’re such a girl.” McNamara laughs. “Leave me alone you slob. I'm changing it!”states O’Harrah. “We’ll be late!” replies McNamara. “We will not! I’ll be a second.”says O’Harrah sternly. Jack sits in the back seat in the fetal position giggling. As they arrive at the mobsters house Jack begins to puke. “Oh Jesus, get him out of the car.” O’Harrah shouts. Jack gets out of the car and passes out on the lawn.

As Jack wakes up he is face to face with McNamara. Jack rises to find that he’s covered with blood and it’s not his. McNamara is dead and his lips have been sliced off. His mouth is also cut ear to ear. As Jack panics he runs throughout the house and sees that this has happened to O’Harrah, what must have been his wife, what must have been his mother, and the dog. He finds the bathroom to wash the blood off of himself and notices that his look has worsened. He is now very pale and the skin around his eyes looks infected. His irises (the colored portion of the eye) are also a very yellow or light green.

Jack drives back to his wife and tells her what happen. (The baby is crying and the neighbor is yelling as per usual.) She asks if he’s OK and how come he was excluded. “I don’t know. I passed out and I must have been overlooked because they must have thought that I was already dead.” explains Jack. “There must have been a mob war going on that I’m not aware of. It’s the only thing that I could think of. A rival mob is trying to leave their mark.” Jack sits down to think as Maureen runs her fingers through his hair. “Harry, you’re in trouble and you look like death. Can we please just go away? Somewhere, anywhere.” pleads Maureen. Jacks hand covers the keys, as he knows that what he must do. “Maureen, I’ve loved you ever since we were kids. The people I’m involved with aren’t the type of people that you can just run away from. Danny’s a fair man. (Referring to the Boss) All he wants to do is talk.” says Jack. “Then why are you shaking” Maureen asks. Jack laughs and says that if he has anything else in mind that at least his family would be OK. Both of them cry and embrace.

Upon arriving at the mansion of Danny O’Halloren (The Boss), Jack is greeted by two guards. One of the guards asks, “What the hell happened to you? You look horrible.” Jack just walks past them almost doubled over in pain. Jack lets out a giggle and the guards look puzzled. “I wouldn’t laugh if I looked like that” one of the guards remarks.

Jack enters a room with Danny and his two sons. Danny says, “ What happened to your escorts.” Jack explains and asks why he wasn’t told about a mob war. “What mob war? I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Danny says. He then tells one of the guards to go to O’Harrahs house to check it out. He also tells the guard to leave the room as this man has been like family and they have nothing to worry about. “Are ya sure boss?” one of them asks. “Look at him” Danny laughs. Danny explains, “Ya know, Jack, you and all your men were supposed to die in that industrial explosion. Who do you think was shooting at you? Those were my men.” Jack feels betrayed and cries, “ We were like family why, why would you do that?” Danny laughs, “I’m an old man Jack but I’m not that old. You were starting to get a little to big for you britches and moving to the top a little to fast. Our little family here was becoming two separate groups.” Jack says, “I had no idea. I always showed you loyalty.” Danny remarks “ It doesn’t matter what others do, what matters is what I think. I nip problems in the bud. That’s how I’ve grown old in this business.” Jack begins to cry. As he doubles over, he passes out.

Jack wakes up, again covered in blood, he is not in the room that he spoke with Danny in. As he enters the greater hall area he’s sees the walls covered with blood and some of the guards with the same ghastly faces that he saw at O’Harrahs house. He hears some one weakly coughing and he enters the room that it’s coming from. Jack sees that it’s coming from one of Dannys sons. He rushes over to the man, who is badly bleeding, and says “Who did this to you?” “You did.” the man gurgles. He then slumps over and may be dead but Jack stumbles out of the room. Noticing how much blood he has on him Jack runs into the bathroom. He looks in the mirror and notices that his skin now looks translucent and the skin around his eyes and mouth look infected. As Jack walks through out the house he sees everyone dead with their faces carved up. Jack panics runs out the door and drive home.

As Jack runs inside he startles his wife. The child crying and his neighbor yelling are blocked out by Maureen, as she is to concerned with the well being of her husband. She tells him that they will get away from all of this and that she’ll protect him with her life. Nobody will ever find them. Jack sick and exhausted just collapses in her arms and passes out again.

As Jack awakes he hears his child still screaming and the neighbor yelling. (We don’t see his face just over his shoulder. His hair is now green.) Maureen see her husband and shrieks “That’s it you’re going to the hospital.” Jack lets out a loud cackle. (And we zoom into the eye of The Joker)

10 minutes later and in the neighbors apartment.

Wife: “Ya see their nice and quiet now.”

Husband: “Well its about time they shut that kid up.”

[kirbyfan]

Darkseid and the New Gods still rule! The ideas and variety of awesome characters that this masterpiece comic contains are limitless!!

Imagine this movie done very seriously, no funny business at all, treated like the serious evill God that he is Darkseid would be awesome. Also imagine an evil destructive monster like Kalibak showing up, the parademons bursting thru the boom tube to terrorize the earth, man I get excited just thinking about how awesome this movie could be!

This movie done right would blow peoples minds!!
