DC Films Under Gunn...which other heroes should get their own franchises?

[MessiahDecoy123]

Icon and Static.

 

[Lobo]

Icon and Static.

Absolutely!

In addition to I, Vampire I have one more I'd like to add. Since we're getting a Bane and Deathstroke movie for some reason, if we're going to go with villains, I'd like to see....

Silver Banshee. Her origin is a fantastic premise for a movie imo

A Gaelic woman trapped in a version of Limbo for decades by magic after she was double-crossed by a clan chief, then emerged with magic powers and vowed to track down his descendants for revenge. Her scream drains the life out of others.

 

[WatchProtect]

I'd never heard or read Silver Banshees origin but it does sound pretty interesting.

Robert Eggers would go crazy with that premise

 

[Babillygunn]

Absolutely!

I’m sure you know this, but she’s reformed now in the comics and actually dating Jimmy Olsen.

But yeah…great character.

I knew she'd been reformed. Didn't know she was dating Jimmy

 

[Sawyer]

Seen Gunn hyping Jeff Lemire’s new JSA book a few times in his IG stories. Could just be that he’s a Lemire fan. Or…

 

[Sawyer]

If we’ve got Guagagnino doing Sgt. Rock, then I’m just going to say it:

Robert Eggers. Etrigan the Demon. Arthurian horror.

 

[BobJM]

Now we’re talking

[Kane52630]

I…

Eggers would be all for it if it's a period piece.

Etrigan the Demon
Jonah Hex
Sandman/Wesley Dodds
Spectre

 

[Sawyer]

Etrigan the Demon
Jonah Hex
Sandman/Wesley Dodds
Spectre

****, Spectre might be even more enticing.

 

[Kane52630]

****, Spectre might be even more enticing.

He'd be perfect for it.

 

[Sawyer]

 

[GreenKToo]

Spectre would be awesome. He is quite literally one of, if not the, most powerful characters in the DC.

 

[Babillygunn]

Spectre would be awesome. He is quite literally one of, if not the, most powerful characters in the DC.

One of my favorite single issue stories is DC Comics Presents #29, which shows how Spectre vs Superman is basically a squash match with Superman not being able to even do anything against Spectre.

 

[psylockolussus]

I would like a Hawkgirl movie.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

The Spectre is one of my favorite characters, a movie seems like a no brainer. He’s basically an OG version of The Crow

 

[Babillygunn]

Richard Dragon. Race swap him to make him Asian. I’m thinking of something similar to Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon. It should also have Bronze Tiger and Lady Shiva in it.

They kind of did an animated batman movie with those exact characters right? Could be cool. Dc have a lot of street level characters to build a John Wick style action sub franchise.

Yeah. Soul of the Dragon. But they felt the need to throw Batman in the mix for no reason.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

I didn’t think that movie was that good and the concept doesn’t really interest me tbh. I’m down for Bronze Tiger in a Suicide Squad movie and Lady Shiva in a Batman adjacent movie (maybe a team of assassins are sent to kill Bats) but I don’t really care for Richard Dragon.

Speaking of DCU martial artists, I’d like to see a proper depiction of Cassandra Cain at some point though. The BOP version was worthless and didn’t remotely resemble the comics version

 

[Mysteryman]

Probably a long shot but,
I would like to see The Question pop up.
The original, to start.
Maybe, Montoya ,down the road.

 

[Sawyer]

An HBO limited series, pls…

 

[LifesEnd]

Question could be really cool. I think the DCEU/DCU leaks team did tease it at oen point and they have gotten a lot of things right. If so Question and Rogues might be under consideration being planned as shows.

Actually thinking on it Question would quite organically lead on from the the stuff Gunn has already done.

I want a really good faithful Green Arrow and Black Canary film tbh. If David Leitch doesnt do Lobo with Momoa or whatever he could be a fun director to do it.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

A good way to reintroduce Flash would be in a Rogues film based partially on the DC Black Label “Rogues” storyline. This story didn’t feature Flash as a supporting character, but you could take the bare bones of this story, throw Flash in there, and make a good movie out of it.
