My DC Shared Movie Universe

My DC Shared Movie Universe

DC will be starting their DC Shared Universe in 2016 with Batman v Superman. So I thought I'd show you guys what I'd do if I was running it.

BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE



The most important thing that needs to be done right is Luthor. No idea how Jesse Eiesenberg will do but Lex has to be a genius, evil yet doesn't know he's the bad guy. The second is Lois Lane hasto be better. We can't be hoping for Clark to ditch Lois and go with WW. She has to be more confident and more like 1978 Lois Lane. Credit to Clevver Movies on Youtube for those two suggestions. 3rd is Aquaman has to be badass. I think Zack Snyder could make Atlantis beautiful. Jason Mamoa should do a great job. Last thing is Superman needs to be a symbol of hope. Metropolis needs to trust him and like him.

My plot would be Superman is dealing with the guilt of killing Zod. Batman still doesn't trust Superman and niether does Luthor. Aquaman doesn't like the debris in the Ocean. Batman and Superman have a few fights. Aquaman comes up to confront the surface world and fights Batman and Superman. Luthor and Star Labs find kryptonite. Not sure what the end should be if Lex develops a robot army or if he just goes after Superman with kryptonite and Batman protects him. Wonder Woman should come at the end though when Man's World is in trouble. I would like to see Batman's origin but in flashbacks. Maybe at the very end or even an end credit scene of vic Stone becoming Cyborg. 


SHAZAM! - August 5th, 2016



I'd have Dwayne Johnson play Shazam. He's a fun actor and while I'm sure he'd be a great Black Adam he seams more fit for Captain Marvel. Also I doubt DC/WB wouldn't go through all this trouble to get a villain. Bryan Singer would be a gret director for it, or Phil Lord and Chris Miller. This should be a lighter movie then the others. I like the dark approach that DC is going with it but a movie where the star is a kid shouldn't be hugely dark and bruting. I think this could be a great movie. I wouldn't have anyother DC superheroes in it. Not sure who would play Black Adam but it should be a rage filled actor.

JUSTICE LEAGUE - June 27th, 2017



This is the huge summer blokcbuster of 2017. Superman (Henry Cavill), Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Wally West (Mike Vogel) or Barry Allen (Ryan Gosling), Hal Jordan (Chris Pine), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), Aquaman (Jason Mamoa) will finally team up on the big screen. The villain would be Darkseid. He's powerful enough to defeat the Justice League on his own. I think Batman shouldn't really trust the team for most of it. The chemistry between Flash and GL is very important as well. For the 2nd I'd love to see White Martians.

SANDMAN - November 17th, 2017



Directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and written by David S Goyer are the rumours and I think they'd do very well. I hope Joseph Gordon-Levitt doesn't star in it though. He's one of my favourite actors and he's very talented but Sandman should be big and buff. Another movie that won't really connect to other heroes unless there's a Justice League Dark movie.


WONDER WOMAN - March 23rd, 2018



First solo female DC movie. Gal Gadot would star as Wonder Woman with Ares as the villain. I think she should go back to themyscira. Steve Trevor would be cool to have. 

AQUAMAN - July 27th, 2018



Aquaman could make a badass movie. Jason Mamoa will be a great Aquaman. Black Manta (Lance Riddick) would be the perfect villain. Zack Snyder as the director would be great as he makes visualy amazing movie and a dark, serious movie. 

MAN OF STEEL 2 - April 5th, 2019



For Man Of Steel 2 I'd have Brainiac as the villain. He's been challenged physically by Zod and Darkseid, intellectually by Luthor, and Brainiac is a combo of both. Luthor should still be in the movie. Maybe he teams up with Brainiac. You should really expand on Superman being a symbol of hope and explore Superman's Kryptonian side and the other species of Aliens with Brainiac.

BATMAN - June 14th, 2019



Batman in a summer blockbuster. The villains should be Hush and Black Mask. I really wanted Christopher Nolan to do Hush. You can do some origin with them being childhood friends. Black Mask is always a badass villain. I'd like Jim Gordon to have a large part. Bryan Cranston would make a great Gordon or Hush or Black Mask. Zack Snyder could do a fine job. Batman needs to be The Dark Knight. Batman is very dark and hides in shadows. 

GREEN LANTERN/FLASH - April 3rd, 2020



The chemistry in the comics between these characters are great. I'd have Wally West because they have Barry Allen in the TV series. Chris Pine as Hal Jordan and Mike Vogel as Wally West. Sinestro teaming up with Captain Cold would be great. Guy Pearce as Captain Cold, Benidict Cumberbatch or Michael Fassbender as Sinestro. This would be a lighter movie the most. Wally and Hal aren't that dark or serious. 

GREEN ARROW - June 19th, 2020



Green Arrow could be a great movie. Charlie Hunnam would make a good Ollie Queen. I think Black Canary should be in the movie. Jennifer Lawrence or Chloe Grace Moretz as her. I was thinking Count Vertigo or Deathstroke as the villain. GA and Canary would be in the next Justice League.

Justice League 2 for 2020, and I think we have our list.

@M0D0K

You're wrong. There's not one way to start a shared universe. A lot of these characters don't need to be established in solo movies. We all know who they are.

Watching these characters come together and learn about each other simultaneously while we do could be a lot of fun if it's done right. Justice League: Origin did it this way and I loved it.

I hate to be THAT guy, but honestly, I can't imagine anyone besides Stephen Amell as Ollie.
huckfinnisher
huckfinnisher - 8/30/2014, 1:43 PM
@ProselyteCanti, Stephen Amell is so feminine in his mannerisms i could no longer watch him lisp his way through any more episodes of the teen drama they try to pass off as a green arrow show. Get somebody with a goattee and some gravitas, not the dude who was best known for playing a gay dude.

This is the way DC is doing it. I think they should take their time but 5 Justice League members will be in Batman v Superman. I think only Batman and Superman should be in it but DC is rushing things. And a shared universe isn't combining existing franchises into one it's just many movies that belong in the same universe the order is irrelevant.

I like that set up. But I'd rather have John Stewart.

huckfinnisher - 8/30/2014, 2:09 PM
@Modok is right, no shared uni till there are movies for most or at least a few. Man of steel in a justice league movie is not a shared uni unless JL already had a movie and combine the two franchises, however later movies would cement it as shared uni.

@FordEl

I agree, John Stewart would be awesome too see on the big screen.
But if it's a Flash/GL movie they've got too go with Hal. Him and Barry go together perfectly

@M0D0K

"You need several stand-alone films FIRST, then when those characters begin coming together is when you have a "shared universe."

You missed the point of my comment. ^^^^In your previous comment you implied that DC/WB are doing it "wrong" and that it isn't truly a shared universe if the characters don't FIRST have their own solo movies. That's not true. If Superman, Batman, etc... meet up in Justice League first and then break off into solo/teamup films, it's just as much a shared universe as Marvel.

I never once said that DC currently has a shared universe. That wasn't the argument, you brought it up. I said that doing it differently than Marvel was a viable option. So you are wrong.

"Which is what bvs, and all wb/dc's films will be. Complete and utter shit."

Yes, you are trolling.


@ManCalledSting

I love both DC and Marvel but i'm really getting sick of these Marvel trolls. It's gotten to the point that I avoid Marvel threads but they always seem to show up anyway.

dingbat- the DC trolls are just as bad as the marvel ones, all trolls are a pain in the ass.

by the way nice editorial, i dont think sandman will be part of the DCU and i personally hope darkseid isant the villian of the 1st justice league movie.
StabbyJoee
StabbyJoee - 8/30/2014, 2:43 PM
Nice article !
Only thing I'd change is the villain(s) in Flash/GL.
Not sure they could pull off a lighter toned movie with Sinestro as the main baddie. I mean his power is legit fear. I think you gotta go over the top with that.
Dingbat
Dingbat - 8/30/2014, 2:51 PM
@kinghulk

True. I guess I perceived Marvel trolls to be worse just because there's so many movies and Marvel is everywhere when in reality DC trolls are the same. A troll is a troll. I just got carried away.

I can dig it.

Good list

Emblemmaniac
Emblemmaniac - 8/30/2014, 3:37 PM
I have only one that i think is wrong with the list..... I don't get how people want Darkseid as the first villan. Sure, i want him as a villan for a movie as well, but since he is arguable the biggest ( or second biggest depending on how you see Anti-monitor) threat they have, and with a moviefranchies, you want to go bigger and bigger as further you go with your franchies. There is a reason why the build up for Thanos in the MCU rather then having him as first villan for the Avengers. With Darkseid as your first... your options of cards to raise the stake's would at best be just one..

Darkseid should be the third or the fourht villan depending on how many they want to do. The first villan would be better with a choice like

Black Adam (Like World War III story arc)
Aquaman (Throne of Atlantis inspired)
Amazo/Lex Luthor

This would be pretty legit threat's as well as not start with to big of a card.

KIPPER34 - 8/30/2014, 4:39 PM
@insomnia

I usually have Darkseid as the 2nd or 3rd villain but when I thought about it I'd like White Martins and Martian Manhunter as the 2nd villain. And an epic 3rd with Anti Monitor.
TheOverlord
TheOverlord - 8/30/2014, 6:27 PM
They will most likely rotate between JL, Superman and Batman each year, plus one "lesser franchise." This is teh most likely line-up given what we know at the moment...

2016
Batman v Superman
Shazam!

2017
Justice League
Aquaman

2018
Man of Steel 2
Wonder Woman

2019
Batman
Flash/Green Lantern team-up (and maybe Green Arrow too?)

2020
Justice League 2
Sandman (might not be set in the same continuity)

MightyZeus
MightyZeus - 8/30/2014, 10:01 PM
Awesome list.

I would switch SHAZAM with Wonder Woman. I think everyone is anticipating more for a Wonder Woman film. I would love to see a solo female super hero in a film.

Justice League Dark could make the line up but also i'm glad you included Green Arrow. I don't like "Arrow", i feel as if the CW and the show butcher's the character of Oliver Queen and Green Arrow. I like my Green Arrow less grounded and dark and more charismatic and fun.

The only person who should be playing Black Manta is Giancarlo Esposito. He was literally born to play that role.

Doubt JLDark will make the lineup, or even happen.

@MightyZeus

My thoughts exactly on Arrow. He's my favourite superhero and the way he was on JLU was perfect. I really like Arrow but it's not really Green Arrow because he's too dark and does't use trick arrows.
Fekkius
Fekkius - 8/31/2014, 9:44 AM
@huckfinnisher we must be watching two entirely different shows, because arrow is amazing, as is stephen amell.
