Here's a sequel to the 1966 Aquaman film.
A direct or a loose sequel doesn't matter as long as they're connected.
The plot sort of continues from the previous film

Aquaman: Black Manta Strikes Back (1977)
Produced by Dino de Laurentiis
Music by: Elmer Bernstein

Who's the director?

George Lucas!

Oh, this means we get Aquaman instead of Star Wars.

No Star Wars! No Star Wars!! No Star Wars!!! :wow: :wow: :wow:

No problem, a big film about an underwater kingdom could be a popcultural event too.

With George Lucas at the helm, and Laurenttis as producer as well, it wouldn't be serious to the same extent as David Leans' film.
Imagine it a like a combination of a Roger Corman sci fi B-film and a Laurentiis B-film adventure, but with an A-list blockbuster budget (for its time).
The actual style would feel a bit close to Flash Gordon (1980) but set underwater.

Now to the cast!
I'll do as Frodo and include pics.

Arthur Curry/Aquaman: Michael York
He was considered for the role back in mid 60s but he was an unknown back then, and to be honest looking a bit too young. The studio wanted a more known actor with gravitas who could make people want to see the film, hence Peter O'Toole.
Now, late half of the 70s, York is perfect for the role. His youthful appearance is a big factor for casting him. After seeing Logan's Run, it was Lucas' first choice for the role.
To be honest, there were a few auditions. Mark Hamill tried out but lost. He didn't impress due to his inexperience, and Lucas had pretty much made up his mind about the lead actor.
(The studio had suggested major movie star Roger Moore but he was busy playing Bond, demanded too much money for doing Aquaman, and he was also a bit old - turning 50 this year)

Mera: Goldie Hawn was cast
Jane Fonda turned down the role, claiming it was not the kind of film she would like to to do, adding she would likely have done it ten years earlier around the time of Barbarella.

Orm/Ocean Master: Harrison Ford

Black Manta: Bernie Casey
I first planned to have Billy Dee Williams but changed my mind after seeing Frodo's superhero film by Spike Lee (Thank you Frodo!!!).
And his suit would be inspired by Darth Vader (which we never got to see anyway). It's easy to see how they could design it similar

Great cast Airwings!

I think Lucas could have made an awesome Aquaman film in the 70s. Given his love for mythology and serials, he would have been the perfect fit for a film like Aquaman.

It would have been very interesting to see Ford play a villain. I think he's only done it once in the film What Lies Beneath , which was in the late 90s early 00s.

I think he could have played that kind of swagger and arrogance that could be an anti hero or a villain.

Michael York certainly has that regal quality that it takes to be Aquaman, and I actually think Casey is a better fit for Manta than Billy Dee .

Goldie Hawn also has that child like innocence of someone who's only known the world beneath the waves, and I could totally see Cushing as Arko.

Cushing could play everything from Sherlock Holmes, to Van Helsing, to Tarkin, so Arko would be a easy for him.

Thank you a lot :)

York is kinda royal, yes! Something Momoa lacks

Maybe there will be a sequel to this, completing my Aquaman trilogy. :)
 
DIANA OF THEMYSCIRA (1989)
Director : James Cameron
Story: Set in the same cinematic universe as John Hughes's
Smallville films and David Lynch's Bruce Wayne films, Diana of Themyscira features an 18 year old Diana who's left her home of Themyscira to protect man's world from the triple threats of Ares, Circe, and a her former friend and mentor Artemis. Now the green and inexperienced teen warrior must navigate a world she doesn't understand against foes she's woefully outmatched to take on.

As a result , she must enlist the help of the only human who believes her story: A 21 year old, reckless, hot shot, naval pilot, who's on the verge of being kicked out of the armed forces .

As tensions between the US and the U.S.S.R. begin to ramp up due to the doing of the terrible trio, can the young Diana save the human world before its too late? Brooke Shields reprises her role of Diana Prince in addition to an all star cast including Sigourney Weaver, Ed Harris , Linda Hamilton, Bridget Nelson, and Lindsey Wagner, in her first solo adventure, Diana of Themyscira.

BRUCE WAYNE AND THE DEMON'S BRIDE (1991)
Director : David Lynch
Story : Lynch's fourth chapter of his Bruce Wayne series finds a 22 year old Wayne in a far away country, under the training of The League of Shadows, and their charismatic leader ,Ra's Al Ghul. Bruce finds himself in over his head among several other young would be assassins and vigilantes in training, including, the shifty Shiva, The fanatical yet dedicated teen they call Bane, a wise cracking billionaire named Oliver, and Ra's naïve yet fierce daughter Talia.

After nearly a year of intense training in the martial arts, deception, and theatricality, it becomes clear that Ra's is not only looking for dedicated foot soldiers , but for a worthy heir to marry Talia. What's more, he clearly favors Bruce for the role. At the same time Bruce and Talia can't deny their mutual attraction which has made the on edge Bane, jealous.

Despite this, Ra's gives all of his young hungry students their first major task on the road to becoming official members of the League of Shadows. That task involves assassinating an international fugitive ,thus proving their comment to justice. Bruce is against murder, but his oath is put to the test once its revealed that the target is Lew Moxon, the mobster who ordered the hit on Thomas and Martha Wayne a decade earlier. Bruce has been searching for Moxon since his days at Gotham prep, wanting to exact vengeance on the man who killed his parents.

However, he now must struggle with his desire to end Moxon , with his commitment to law and order. At the same time, he must stop his fellow students and disobey his sensei Ra's Al Ghul. Bruce must get to Moxon before the rest of the group does, and at the same time, must get past Moxon's trigger happy right hand, a gangster known as Jack Napier. In the end, Bruce will make an enemies on all sides in an effort to stay true to his principles. This time, he's far from Gotham, and he'll need his wits and his training to save himself.

Here's is the third film in an Aquaman (loose) trilogy.
This involves other DC characters than just the title character, like Captain America Civil War did.
In fact, Aquaman isn't even THE main one here. Flash is.
But it ties very much back to the previous films in 1977 and 1966.

It's a Flashpoint story, in which the Atlanteans and the Amazons are at war (after Barry's meddling with time).

It's comes out 1989. Ridley Scott directs. The film is so big it needs him.

I'm in a hurry and didn't include any supporting actors.
The main players are these:

The Flash: Brad Pitt (no Shipp)

Wonder Woman: Madeleine Stowe (no Lynda)

Good Cast Airwings!

Madeline Stowe as WW would be awesome, and Pitt actually fits the look of the Barry Allen of the comics. Interestingly, he's always been played by brunettes on film and tv when he's actually blonde in alot of the iterations.

Also, I could actually see Modine as Aquaman or a Wally West Flash, though, by 1989, Aquaman would be a better pick for him than a younger Wally West Flash would be.

Thank you, a lot :) :) :)

Sorry I didn't had the time to include other heroes. But I guess these three would be more than enough :)

YOUNG JUSTICE :TRINITY (1992)

Director : David Lynch
Story: David Lynch directs the third and final installment of the Young Justice series of films , and this time goes for a smaller scale , phycological 3rd act which focuses solely on Bruce, Clark and Diana. Set a year after the events of Young Justice 2, The now early 20 something Bruce, Clark, and Diana ,each find themselves on the eve of fulfilling their separate destinies and becoming the heroes they are meant to be.

They think they know what the future holds , but have decided that the three of them should meet in Europe one last time before going on their separate paths. However, their trip together will become a test of their emotions, their will, and there resolve to continue on their paths to greatness.

Unbeknownst to them, they have one last test. One last chance to turn back. The Spectre will arrive on one emotional night on the Swiss Alps, and present them with 3 ,key ,future foes, who will challenge their resolve. Like Dickens's A Christmas Carol, The Spectre will present them with three Spirits which will challenge the young heroes before they go on their separate paths.

Clark will Meet the psychotic vigilante known as Magog who challenges his world view, and warns him that his naivety will lead to the death of his future wife and to the ruin of humanity.

Bruce will be confronted by a future Andrea Beaumont, who has become the super villain known as The Phantasm. Her pain and drive for vengeance will show Bruce what he could become, and a life he may not have ,if he continues his lonely path to saving Gotham City.

Diana, will be confronted with future nemesis Maxwell Lord, who threatens to push Diana to the limits of her code of ethics and morality. His revelation of the fate they both share will shake her to her emotional core, and will make her question whether she is meant to be one of the galaxies saviors.


This lost weekend will challenge the bond between Clark, Bruce, and Diana, and will determine whether the trinity will emerge stronger than before, or whether their potential futures are too frightening to continue.

Darkseid: Michael Ironside

Shields is a good pick for WW

Looking at the pic of Slater, I think he would work well as a late 80s/early 90s Aquaman, with that mane of hair. (if Phoenix wouldn't go and take the role before him).
Then looking at the pic of Keanu, HE should be Hal Jordan.
Let him and Slater switch roles.

Shields is a good pick for WW

Looking at the pic of Slater, I think he would work well as a late 80s/early 90s Aquaman, with that mane of hair. (if Phoenix wouldn't go and take the role before him).
Then looking at the pic of Keanu, HE should be Hal Jordan.
Let him and Slater switch roles.

Thanks once again.:word:

I think Shields's has played WW in animation before. Even a younger Shield's had alot of the traits to have played a good Wonder Woman from the late 80s through the 90s when she had her sitcom.
She's 6 foot tall , so she fits the physical stature to a T . At the same time, she can play vulnerable, funny, dramatic, and is athletic.

I think Slater is another one of those actors, like Phoenix , who could have played multiple heroes when he was young including Aquaman, Hal Jordan, Barry Allen, even a Young Joker.

I actually considered Slater first for a young Napier slash Joker in the River Phoenix Bruce Wayne films, but in the end, I decided to go older with Billy Drago.

Darkside was another tough casting call, but I decided to go with a villain character actor as opposed to a bigger name.

Tim as Robin was also a tough one for that time period, and you're right , picking a good Robin isn't as easy as it seems.:funny:.

I find it easier to cast a Robin in the 80s and the 90s since there's a dearth of teen to you twenty something actors who could have fit the role. It gets tougher when looking before the 80s.
 
I think Batman Returns is an entertaining movie. As weird as it may seem, it and Batman 89 are some of the movies of my childhood. But I think it's missing elements and potential ideas that could tie the franchise together and further build on character dynamics and story elements that I think have already been set up, to me, in the movie in some ways. Here are the ideas God blessed me with for that:

The motive is more tied to Harvey Dent thinking the police need more financial backing, but the mayor is content to let Batman do all the work for the police, who Dent thinks they've become too reliant on.

This adds another element that fills out the idea of mistrust against Batman that the movie later touches on when he's framed by Penguin. And adds a more thorough thematic element that, while I think may be in the movie already, I think is mainly left in the Selina and Bruce last scenes they have together, where I think it comes off like Bruce has learned some form of lesson, in seeing Selina's viscous dark attitude and how it relates to him and now thinking that they're not above the law.

The stress of the job has begun to get to Dent and he's been blacking out and losing time, and seeing a therapist to deal with his problems and talk about his childhood abuse at the hands of his dad, him killing his dad in defense of his mom as he used his coin flipping to force young Harvey to decide what would happen.

Harvey has begun trying to use flipping the coin to make choices for himself as a way to relieve his stress.

Penguin approaches Harvey as a way to help him get his foothold, Harvey being the trusted figure that he is. Harvey thinks he may be able to use the situation to get Penguin in run for mayor and get the funding for the police department and less dependent on Batman.

Selina being his assistant, who accidentally stumbles across the file and information on his mental state and when Dent catches her, her trying to suggest that he step down (Harvey being unwilling to for his fear of leaving Gotham to be consumed by its insanity, him pressuring himself that he has to protect it), the stress of this causing him to snap and transition into his darker personality that takes over in his blackouts. This dark version pushing Selina out the window, in a perception of the ends of justify the means.

Naturally the change equals a change in how Bruce and Harvey interact, as opposed to how Bruce and Shreck interact. Now the dynamic is more one of opposing perspectives that Bruce begins to see Harvey's side of in the situation about Batman and how Batman may be responsible for the current insanity of their situation. We can maybe even parallel the idea of Bruce's obsession to save Gotham being connected to his parents death and Harvey's obsession to do so and how he pressures himself to is connected to him feeling powerless as a child to protect his mom and how he killed his dad to do so.

His mental breaking begins to become harsher, after finding out that he's made a deal with a criminal in Oswald, the stress beginning to consume him.

At the end, the stress finally causes a complete break when he's taken by Penguin (for Harvey turning on him after realizing what he is), and is nearly killed by Selina, him trying to kill her in his darker persona, and then her electrocuting him, burning half his face.

Amongst the ending parts of the movie, Bruce visits Harvey in the hospital, apologizing for failing him and the city, later showing Harvey no longer in his bed, and ending on an uncertain note for Bruce about himself and how he relates to the city.

Please review and tell me what you think!

Thats would have been a dream 80s movie to have had.
Dolph could have pulled that off easy ( or as Cap for Marvel)
His physical presence would have jumped off the screen as Aquaman.
I would only have picked someone else for director & writer.
Have a few ideas.

So, Dolph is your choice for an 80s actor when it comes to Cap?
You didn't answer the question I addressed to you in the Marvel forum, but now I know :)
