The Atom

[Tg11]

Could DC make a successful film of The Atom? If they could...do you think he could realistically fit among the DC Cinematic Universe of heroes?

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

I think the character had potential - but the MCU got there first. I honestly can't think of anything an Atom film could do that wouldn't have audiences thinking 'I've already seen this in Ant-Man'.

 

[Mandon Knight]

Yes he would be a great choice and he could fit equally well into DCEU but MTG is right with the GA, they'll just see it as a 'copy', even though like in most cases DC historically got there first but are slower in the film transfer.

It's WAY too late at this point.

I think it would be difficult to introduce The Atom in a solo film, however he could work well if he was introduced in a JL, Flash or Superman film.
Or in a JSA film if we're talking about the original.

The Atom as the Ant Man of the DCEU; he could add the comedic element to the DCEU

 

[Aurakles]

Don't see why he would be comedic. Not say he shouldn't be, just never seemed a particularly funny character to me.

As others have said, Ant Man got there first, and an Atom film would always feel like a copy. I think he'd be best as a supporting character, or maybe introduced in an eventual (if not inevitable) Justice League sequel.

Failing that, just keep him on the CW.
