Which DC film should be made next?

[Katsuro]

Plus, looking at the comic how many times is his origin actually relevant to the story? You don't see the X Men explaining evolutionary theory every movie. The Fantastic Four didn't start the sequel explaining their trip into space and triggered mutations they just gave the viewer credit. I feel generally in a blockbuster movie the audience goes in knowing that they are going to see a person with extraordinary abilities fight evil. So why not just start from there.

Note the bolded words. If we were talking about a sequel to Superman Returns, then you'd be right in not needing it to explain his origin. But that's not what they're doing. This is a "re-introduction" to Superman. It needs to have his origin. The audience needs to know why this is a different continuity, and why things are different. Otherwise they'll jsut think it's a sequel where the kid magically disappeared. And the cast is different.

Yeah, we're probably going to see a differeny Krypton altogether. Something more similar to the comics or the animated series in that it can actually support organic life besides humanoids. I just hope that they don't radically change the Superman costume design. Yeah, make it look more alien but not like crazy Tim Burton stuff.

GL.

We need more DC heroes on screen aside from Warners' staple of Batman and Superman, and GL is a lot further in production than the Supes reboot or Batman sequel.

It's a no-brainer, really.

 

[Webhead2006]

YEa with both gl/ga films in pretty far with developments on scripts these two should be the two other films dc wants to push besides supes reboot and the 3rd batman.

 

[Showtime]

Green Lantern without a doubt.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea they would be a bit foolish to pass on the gl script since its been picking up alot of steem likely and majority of the fandom agree it looks very promising.

 

[Raiden]

Wonder Woman is supposed to be one of DC's "trinity", but after Superman's 5th movie and Batman's 6th, WW still doesn't have even one. So I think it's about time she has her day in the sun.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea she should have a film but right now its likely not going to be happening to after the bat3/supes reboot/gl-ga since there is no movement going right now with it.

 

[marcvader]

Want a Millar Superman for sure but please give me some Hal Jordan GL next and make it snappy.

 

[JokerLedger]

1. Supermax
2. Green Lantern
3. Superman reboot

I voted for Green Lantern but that's how I see the schedule going down.

 

[mclay18]

Green Lantern without a doubt.

Are you going by personal preference, or do your sources confirm it?

Just asking.

 

[aka Kal el]

I agree 100%

Agreed! if this is done right it could easily be the next tent pole.This could be Top Gun meets Star wars.

 

[Hellstormer]

1. Supermax
2. Green Lantern
3. Superman reboot

I voted for Green Lantern but that's how I see the schedule going down.

I voted for Aquaman but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

 

[I Am The Knight]

GL- 2010
Supes - 2011 (maaaaaaybe 2010)
Bats -2011

 

[Superman2008]

I would really like to see a new Wonder Woman film. But I think the cast for DCU's most recognizable female hero must go to someone with exceptional beauty and athleticism! Thusly I would like to post the 2 dream ladies for Wonder Woman....first I wish WB would cast:
LERYN FRANCO, the javelin throwing goddess of Paraguay! Her look and stunning figure fits the role of Wonder Woman perfectly!

my second pick would go to Californian beauty:
ALLISON STOKKE, the gorgeous pole vaulter with the face of a princess and a body chiseled by the gods! She is very strong, swift, agile and she looks great in action shots!

Both these ladies have the perfect look, build and charisma to play Diana of Themyscira! All they would need is some acting classes, then they would be perfect for the role!
I would also cast Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine) as Hyppolita.
And if not a Wonder Woman film, a reboot of the Superman franchise would be great!

Agreed.

A WW film has indeed been a long time coming.

 

[Savage]

I am totally digging the Jeri Ryan as Hypolita suggestion. I also think she'd make a great Black Canary if they go with an older Green Arrow (*cough*WoodyHarrelson*cough*).

Why do people think that they can just take any random person who's never acted and put them in magic "acting classes" that imbue them with impeccable acting ability? Seriously, you think it's that easy? You do realize that the second girl you posted is just some random high school girl who had her pictures put on the internet then became famous for no reason, right? For all we know she's camera shy and bad at public speaking, and yet she's the perfect Wonder Woman? COME ON!!!!

 

[Hellstormer]

Yea I gotta agree. You can't just pick some athletes because they have the look. And honestly neither of those girls even look like Wonder Woman. Game over. Try again.

 

[Webhead2006]

I rather have an actress who can act and has the look of ww play the role. Getting the body is a pretty easy thing to do if an actor is very commit to roles. Look at jake ghayahall(spelling my bad!) for the prince of persia film or bale for that role he did before batman begins then getting in great shape for batman.

 

[Flash Facts]

I say GL then THE Flash (Wally West)

 

[Webhead2006]

Well it is likely going to be Gl/GA for 2010 since they have alot of development going for them. Then bats 3 and supes reboot in 11 like robinov said. ww/aquaman/flash will all likely then be out after 11-15 range since no good developments have been moving on them or no movement at all.

Sorry, I disagree.

WW is a complex movie role. One of the most difficult in Hollywood. It is not a role any woman can pull off if she has a great body. Any fit actress can get a good body given a few months training but its much harder doing that with acting.

Taking some acting classes isn't going to cut it, either. Would you expect the same from people who do Batman or Superman? I don't. WW is basically as tough if not more then they are. Don't let Lynda Carter's performance fool you. Watch JLU to see a decent WW adaption.

 

[stargazer]

Easy, SUPERMAN RETURNS' SEQUEL/2010

second, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, and then Flash.

Note the bolded words. If we were talking about a sequel to Superman Returns, then you'd be right in not needing it to explain his origin. But that's not what they're doing. This is a "re-introduction" to Superman. It needs to have his origin. The audience needs to know why this is a different continuity, and why things are different. Otherwise they'll jsut think it's a sequel where the kid magically disappeared. And the cast is different.

Superman returns was not a reboot yet we got his origin again. What does the audience need to know that they don't already? They want to go and see superman beat something. Its a reintroduction but some things stay the same in every movie. Krypton goes boom and the little baby lands on earth. He's raised on a farm in Kansas and becomes superman. There is no different continuity you will get for that, that won't change. To be an effective reboot it would be best not to retread the past. A good reboot should have the viewer going in and seeing something very different. A different style costume, a different tone for metropolis, a different Lois with a different back story. That is what to focus on because that is what will be different, superman's past will not be.
