DC ELSEWORLDS: Reimagining Keaton Sequels & DC Films that Never Were

[FrankenCastle]

(Sorry for the AI, I couldn't find any comic cover from that time period featuring the three characters above)

Toyed with some other concepts I imagined, not gonna lie, I like what I'm seeing so far , AI will never replace man-made art of course, but it gets pretty damn close to what I have in mind.

THE WONDER WOMAN ANTHOLOGY ( 1987-1993)

The Cast

Franchise History

A decade after the original TV series goes off of the air , Warner Brothers decides to greenlight a film revival in the vein of The Star Trek fiims featuring the original series cast.

While the idea of a full on reboot with a young actress is briefly considered , the studio feels that it's better to bank on a known iteration of the character than to make a risky gamble with a new continuity and an unproven lead actress .


Unlike the television series , the films would be big budget and sprawling epics featuring big name actors staring along Lynda Carter who decides to return to the role of Wonder Woman.


Joining her as a new love interest is Tom Selleck , in addition to a regular supporting cast with Olympia Dukakis and a then unknown Sarah Jessica Parker .


Meanwhile series regular Lyle Waggoner would return as President Steve Trevor and the now famous ,Debra Winger ,would return as Donna Troy .


What results are a trilogy of films spanning from the late 1980s into the Early 1990s which delve more into the characters comic roots and exploited her comicbook rogues gallery , largely absent from the 1970s series .

Jack Cross (2008)


Based on the 2005 Warren Ellis 100-page comic.

Plot :

Jack Cross, freelance counter-terror operative and peace activist in his spare time, is tasked by Amanda Waller to track a rogue terrorist network threatening to destabilize America from within by manufacturing terror.

Jack traces the operation to Sarge Steel, a ruthless government hardliner. Who's now running black-site experiments in Guantánamo Bay, using its most dangerous detainees as pawns to fabricate “terror cells” and stage evidence to justify more crackdowns at home and wars abroad.
Behind Steel stands General Wade Eiling, who sees the War on Terror as a tool to secure permanent military supremacy.

As Cross plunges deeper into a labyrinth of black sites, conspiracies, and secrets too dangerous to expose, he realizes he's just another cog in the machine, sent to clean up the mess. The only choice left: play the government’s game, or burn the whole table down.
