There's always a lot of talk going on about rumors of which DC Comics character will be the next to get their own movie. But I'm interested to hear what you, the fans, think would be best as far as STORY, CHARACTER PERSONALITY, FRANCHISE/SEQUAL POTENTIAL, and What would draw in NON-COMIC READING audiences.
THE FLASH
There has been talk of a Flash movie in the works for the last couple of years. David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel) was said to have not only made a treatment, but had also completed a script and had done several rewrites, but it never made it into production. Then, a few months ago it was leaked that Geoff Johns had submitted a treatment that the WB was interested in and ordered a script for. It was said Geoff would make an announcement about it at this past years San Diego comic con, but he didn't.
WONDER WOMAN
After the failed pilot for the David E. Kelly television show, it seems that the rights to Wonder Woman are back on the table. So, would you guys like/actually go see a major motion picture featuring a female super hero or would it be a waste of money? I feel like if it were very action oriented, with a lot of the story/plot focused on Ares trying to free Hades from the Underworld, it would not only be a good story, but could lead to a sequel where Hades IS freed, and threatens to bring Hell up with him. I could be like Gladiator meets Supernatural.
CAPTAIN MARVEL/SHAZAM
There has been recent talk about a Captain Marvel movie being in the works. Geoff Johns was recently quoted as saying that there IS a Captain Marvel script, that it has not been green lit, BUT it is not dead. Do you guys think that Captain Marvel would be good, or is he too much of a C level hero? That there are better characters out there that deserve a movie before him? Do you think the fact that Captain Marvel has the personality and mind set of a child could make the movie campy and lame?
AQUAMAN
After the recent colassal success that Geoff Johns has had with the character in recent years in the comics, it seems that fans have come to really like Aquaman, and don't just see him as the lame member of the JLA who is only useful when they're near water. I think he has a lot of potential with the whole king/ruler of Atlantis story angle. Also, his super strength, speed in water, and his durability could lend to some awesome fight sequences and special effects. I could see a big war between the Atlanteans and the Sirens cropping up and the people of Atlantis go to the surface world to retrieve their true King to lead his people into battle against them.
GREEN ARROW
I know that they're making a new tv series for Green Arrow (IF the pilot gets picked up), but would you guys really rather see Green Arrow on the big screen or is the character too much like Batman that it wouldn't show us anything new? Does the character have enough back story and possibility to carry his own movie, if not franchise?
GREEN LANTERN SEQUEL
After the box office flop that was "Green Lantern", would you guys rather see DC take another whack at the Emerald Crusader before they move on to another character? While the story and editing was poor and the movie was rushed, "Green Lantern" did have some very good special effects and designs in my opinion. I though the suits looked cool and the ring constructs were awesome to see.
So, guys: What does everyone think? Cast your opinions in the usual place and lets see who wins out!
