If you controlled the DCEU and could do anything.....

I would do a Doom Patrol film, the reason is that they're unique in the DC Universe for being considered freaks in a world of superheroes and that would be an interesting avenue to explore as well as the fact that Niles Caulder caused the accident but I think that would either be the big twist in a first film or saved for a sequel.

A Metal Men film that is an action comedy in the style of Men in Black or Ghostbusters would be fun to watch and CGI has developed enough to fully realised the Metal Men themselves. I think the core of the film should be what it means to be human and Will Magnus should be able to grow as a character throughout the film, from introvert scientist to someone who sees his creation as family.

Damn ! That's some good ideas there - but maybe Doom Patrol as a TV series, and also which version of Doom Patrol, for my taste I would go with full on Grant Morrison and make it really out there !

As for the Metal Men, yeah totally, they could be a very kid friendly property for DC (would probably also work as a TV series so that you could get the character development going, especially that which you spoke of).

 

[Victarion]

Throw in Gaiman's Books of Magic and Sandman as Netflix series.

 

[Luke234]

If they had to have seven characters( too late now I know) I'd replace cyborg and lantern with Firestorm ( the whole two characters in one thing). I think his powers are cool and would be different and amazing looking onscreen.

The Dark Knight gave way to the Dawn, after the Dawn comes...

I think Metal Men would work as an animated film as well as live action, with the success of Big Hero 6 which Disney adapted from an obscure Marvel comic and other animated superhero films like The Incredibles, I think Warner Animation Group should consider Metal Men for development.

I think if Doom Patrol were a film, I'd stick to the classic lineup of Rita/Elasti-Girl, Larry/Negative Man and Cliffe/Robotman first.

I wish we had got this Doomsday:

And I love the alien designs Burton had for his Superman movie:

I would get Burton back for some of the production design elements. The visuals and all that where the aliens are concerned.

My directors: Shane Black, Guillermo del Toro, David Ayer, George Miller, Miguel Sapochink, Neil Marshall, Zack Snyder, to name a few.

 

[CaptainWagner]

I'd also ensure that Guy Gardner has a prominent place in the universe. Preferably played by Aaron Paul, but just so long as the world can learn who great Guy is, I'm happy.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I'd cast Demi Lovato as Zatanna.

Yeah, I said it.

 

[Victarion]

I'd do the state sponsored metahuman teams. So you have groups like the yakuza, terrorists in the middle east, the guys in Africa with their own metahuman teams.

 

[Luke234]

I'd also keep snyder as long as possible. Genius.

I don't know a lot about Guy Gardner. Actually I don't know anything. Is Hal a wisecracker like in the 1st green lantern movie? How is Guy different? Thanks!!

 

[Victarion]

From what I've seen, Guy's a pacifist.

 

[2kt09]

Alexander Luthor Jr would be Edward Nygma.
The Justice League teases were pointless in BvS:


The rest of it is pretty much more or less the same although I'd do something about the script-writing thus far.

 

[Luke234]

Another one for me is too NOT bring back Doomsday. I liked the scene and he was great for advancing superman's journey but other than superman coming back from death with the whole ode to the messiah figures thing going, I'd like that to be a special once in a lifetime thing unique to superman. Ofhewise when you're dead you're dead .

Hal is a bit of a wise cracker, but he's still very much your typical hero. Guy is more like if pre-Iron Man Tony Stark became a hero but then never changed his ways. He's cocky, rude, stubborn, and yet is one of the toughest fighters the GLC have. He's in my opinion the most unique out of the 4 main human lanterns.

 

[Breogan]

What since when? The whole point of Guy is he had little regard for life, being judge and executioner, was the GL who went straight for killing, despite having a ring that could do anything you imagined.

 

[Victarion]

What since when? The whole point of Guy is he was the GL who didn't mind killing.

Oh wow. I'm referring to a Justice League vs Suicide Squad comic. Guy was in a bubble created by his ring while Captain Boomerang beat on it with a boomerang. I think the two of them bantered a bit, but otherwise Guy stayed out of the fight.

Guy is a blonde with a bowl cut?

 

[Breogan]

Guy is a blonde with a bowl cut?

More ginger, with the bowl cut.
He's the guy who had no problem digging up Abin Sur's grave, cause he felt he deserved to be the one "chosen".

 

[Victarion]

The Nightshade Odyssey is the tpb. A lantern they called Guy sat in a green bubble while the skwad and JLI fought each other. He came out of it to restrain Boomer.

Dude, either Will Ferrell or John C. Reilly as Guy - man what a great solo film that would be, just hillarious !

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, Guy is a pretty interesting character in that he's not your traditional hero at all. If I recall correctly, he was very much a stoic hero type like Hal (hence the reason why he was originally chosen as the alternate Earth GL) but then was injured and received some brain damage, which resulted in a rapid personality shift. He's irritable, arrogant, and overall an a**hole, but heroic when he needs to be. He frequently picks fights with Hal and the other GLs. There's so much potential there for a series that focuses on the four key earth GLs: Hal (the confident leader), Guy (the cocky pain in the ass), John (the by-the-book hardass) and Kyle (the free spirit/artist type).

Retcon the Bruce/Barbara sex crap out of existence, immediately.

 

[Victarion]

I would bring in Deacon Blackfire as a focal point for the anti-metahuman sentiments of people like the wheelchair guy from BvS. Blackfire would use them and his skills as a religious demagogue to create an army of homegrown terrorists. I would pit him against Regulus and his concentration camps of genetically-engineered metahumans, with the JL stuck in the middle of it.

Gorilla Grodd, being one of mankind's more primitive relatives, would be working toward opening a portal into the infernal realms. I'd have him working to weaponize the inhabitants of the Nightshade Realm, with those infernal soldiers using Grodd as a means of reclaiming their homeland from Trigon. Whereas Luthor tried to attack the metahuman threat through more metahumans, Grodd decides to blend the scientific with the supernatural.
