If we get a DC Cinematic Universe, what movies would you want?(other than the usual)

Swamp Thing
Shazam
Suicide Squad ( think I would get a kick out of King Shark. Especially if there's a scene somewhere where he's singing about being a shark :) )
 
Justice league Dark is a really cool idea I wish would be made. I doubt it ever will though.

I also think Aquaman has alot of potential for a cool franchise.

Also Wonder Woman, Sandman and Death. Sandman is a no brainer really. Do and do it right.


How about Omega Men for a harder grittier edged scifi project.

I'd like to see Aquaman and Wonder Woman have a connection because he is from the Lost Greek/Roman mythological city of Atlantis and she is from the Greek/Roman mythological island of the Amazons. Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Superman, are all from distant, sometimes alien, lands that are isolated from Earth, so it would be fun to see that connection played on somehow. Even though Superman was brought up on Earth as a human, he was born and has a connection to an alien group, and Aquaman is from Atlantis which was isolated because of the ocean, and Wonder Woman comes from an island cut off from the rest of the world.
Plus both Aquaman and Wonder Woman would be adjusting to life on Man's World/land. Seeing how it compares and contrasts from their worlds. Maybe similar to how Thor did in his film.

It might be fun to also have Flash's origin somehow connected to Superman, the same way they made Hulk's origin connected to Captain America's in the movies. Maybe make Barry a CSI investigating a crime in the lab where they were experimenting with Superman's DNA (blood found).

May also be cool to have Batman bring everyone together because he sees his War on Crime be an actual global threat, not just Gotham. And to win this war he requires help, or recruits it. Like how SHIELD kept tabs on all superheroics on Earth, Batman could be keeping tabs and sees the time has come to bring everyone together.
Rather than have Batman be this loner, maybe he sees he can actually win his war on crime by uniting these powerful heroic beings.

I like your take on Batman. The loner "I don't want any help from you"/"I'm only going to be a part time member cause my problems are apparently bigger"/"I'm just better than you cause I'm the goddamn Batman" attitude is pretty much starting to get old and perhaps a little overrated.

I think a fresh new take might do some good for the character, you can still keep the old elements but a new dimension might be a nice change for once.
 
In terms of non-JLA movies, this is what I want in order of release.

-Flash (I personally prefer Wally West, but I know Barry Allen will be the guy)
-Wonder Woman
-MoS 2
-World's Finest

-John Stewart GL
-Aquaman (but only if they go the route of concentrating on finding Atlantis - Make it like an Indiana Jones/Uncharted style adventure)
-A broader GL Corps movie with all 5 human GLs being in it. Basically a GL team-up movie

-Captain Marvel/Shazam
-Steel
-Martian Manhunter
-Green Arrow & Black Canary (I'd prefer for them to share a movie)
-Firestorm
-The Question
-Cyborg

- Suicide Squad
- A noir detective version of Martian Manhuntr (think Dark City)
- Beware the Creeper (like a slasher/monster movie where the victims are bad guys instead of horny teens)
- The Question
- Swamp Thing movie with Constantine as a supporting player
- Booster Gold (in a meta/deconstruction of the superhero myth) or PLastic Man in the same way.
- Or Plastic Man done as an Edgar Wright style homage/spoof
 
A Teen Titans/ Young Justice movie for sure!! I have been wanting one since forever!!

For that to take off you really need JLA to be an instant success in less than a night. Not very feasible at the moment.
 
New Gods/Fourth World. Could be DC's "Star Wars" if handled right.
 
Martian Manhunter
Teen Titans
Nightwing
Green Arrow
Aquaman
Sandman
 
Other than Batman reboot, World's Finest, Wonder Woman and Flash...

I'd like:

Green Lantern with John Stewart
Shazam
Green Arrow
Teen Titans
Suicide Squad
Animal Man
Plastic Man (just for fun)

Sorry but I don't see Aquaman working out too well.
 
Not many want Hawkman. Home come?

I said Hawkman in the first post. He'd be awesome along with Dr. Fate and others in a Justice Society movie which could be a great idea for a prequel. They could do it similiar to Captain America: The First Avenger by making it a period piece. They could be the "Secret Mystery Men" who fought in the battles of WWII and that they were the ones who turned the tide of the crucial battles in favour of the USA as well as fighting Hitler and stopping him from using the Spear of Destiny.

Then they go into retirement until "a new saviour arises" in the words of Dr. Fate.
 
Hawkman reminds most people of Flash Gordon.

The general public will never take such a movie seriously.
 
The only movies I see being successful in a DCCU would be:

Superman
Batman
The Flash
Green Lantern
Wonder Woman
Deathstroke
and maybe Martian Manhunter

People like Swamp Thing, Shazam, Young Justice, wouldn't be successful in my opinion. Especially if DC don't take some notes from Marvel.
 
Oh yeah I would really love a Hawkgirl and Hawkman ancient-aliens storyline like how it was portrayed in Justice League: Unlimited. That has a lot of potential to be a different take on a comic book movie by blending genres.
 
Honestly, I'd prefer that any Hawkman adaptation stick with the Thanagarian side, and more or less drop the golden age version entirely. "I'm an alien cop from a world of winged Klingons" is an easier sell than "I'm an archeologist who is also the Eternal Champion who also uses a random bit of alien metal."

The order I would attempt to produce DCCU movies:

Man of Steel (2013)
Man of Steel II (2014) (tease WW movie)
Wonder Woman (2015) (tease Batman movie)
Batman (2015) (teases Justice League)
Justice League (2016) (with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern)
Flash OR Green Lantern (2017) (whichever focus groups better from Justice League...teases World's Finest)
World's Finest (2017) (teases Wonder Woman II)
Wonder Woman II (2018) (teases whichever of Flash or Green lantern hasn't been made)
Flash OR Green Lantern (2018) (whichever NOT done in 2017...teases Justice League II)
Justice League II (2019)

This is a hectic pace, but doable as Disney has proven. And Warner Brothers is a lot bigger studio than Disney.
