Poll - If DC scrapped DCEU, which stand alone stories u wanna c ?

[InfinityWar]

If DC got rid of DCEU and just made movies based on comic book story lines, which would you want to see the most ?

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Out of those Red Son is my choice.

As an aside, I think a problem could be with some of them that elements have already been pretty heavily 'borrowed' for previous films so I'm not sure how they'd go down with some audiences.

 

[Iceman]

More non Batman/Superman characters.

 

[Boy Scout]

No offense, but I feel like the Superman section could be better.

 

[THE WOLF]

Why would a comics company scrap a bunch of movies they have no power over?

 

[Rorschach2012]

Also, get this man to play Bruce Wayne in all of them.

Give me these 3. Beyond those, I'm open to just about anything. I welcome the whole standalone format. It would reinvigorate the DC films.

Comic book stories should only ever be used as a guideline. Nolan's Batman takes elements of Year One, The Long Halloween, Knightfall and No-Man's Land. Direct adaptations have no real interest to me.

But honestly, if they just did a page for page live action adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns, The Long Halloween, or All Star Superman, they would've been better than anything we've seen from the DCEU so far. Including Wonder Woman. My ideal Wonder Woman movie would've leaned harder on the mythological aspects over the WWI setting.

 

[InfinityWar]

Red Son would be awesome, imo.....

 

[OutOfBoose]

None. Come up with something fresh.

 

[Rorschach2012]

None. Come up with something fresh.

They have already proven that they are unable to do that.

 

[Detective Conan]

I love to do a superhero period piece cinematic universe. I really do wonder what a DC cinematic universe using 'A New Frontier' as a model would be like.

Thing I've never understood about doing direct adaptations is we've literally seen the story before. It's not like regular books where you often have to use the theatre in your mind to put visuals to the words. Comics are a visual medium, so it just seems pointless to me duplicating the exact imagery in motion. I personally get nothing out of those type of films, even the animated adaptations don't do much for me.

Have you ever read Len Wein's DC Universe: Legacies? Something along those lines could be interesting, a series of films charting superheroes through the DCU from the earliest appearances of Golden Age characters/incarnations through to the present day.

I’d be down. They could cash in on the 80’s nostalgia AND distinguish themselves from Marvel.

 

[Flint Marko]

I've said this before and I'll say it again: no more Batman.

Please..... no more Batman. Put him back on the shelf for now and let Superman shine.

 

[STARMAN]

I've never been interested in straight adaptions. Even of stories I like. Create something new.

I do agree that something like TDKT is far more satisfying. We see elements from classic storylines, but it's combined into something fresh and new.

I'd love to see a Superman movie where he battles Brainiac, since Brainiac is a heavyweight staple member of Superman's rogues gallery who has never been used in live-action big-screen film before.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

I sometimes feel I'm alone in not finding Brainiac very interesting

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Keaton still has that look doesn't he. Like he could step straight back into the Batsuit.

I think pretty directly adapting The Long Halloween would be a good way to start a new Batman series-Batman is youngish and even newish but not brand new, many rogues but treated differently than before, some overlap with TDK Harvey but not necessarily a lot instead you could give more attention, focus, development to him.

I was going to say there'd be some overlap with TDK, but yes I'd like to see a TLH live-action movie.

Gimme some of that commie superman! (Although I do think it would become a bit stereotypical and and jingoistic)
