The historic DC announcement for movies about Wonder Woman, Flash, Green lantern, Cyborg, Aquaman, Batman, Superman, Lego Batman, Justice League's 1 & 2 left a lot of us happy, but there's a few of us wondering where are my Sandman and my Justice League Dark? (Fables, Metal Men & 100 Bullet's have been really silent so I will wait on anyone attached to that to say anything before I count them as anything more than a cool rumor) Well I am here to take a look at those projects and see their potential and what I hope from them.
Let's start of with...
SANDMAN
The film is being worked on By Neil Gaiman, the writter of the original story and Joseph Gordon Levitt whom is rumored to star in and direct, I have to say that first I enjoy Gordon's work from his acting to his directing, also the Sandman story by Gaiman is great, I love the concept and love the way of mind of it and of Gaiman, I doubt that the movie SANDMAN is going to be a solo movie hence why I think it will be a trilogy or even a saga of 4 or more films, the SANDMAN universe is huge, with the Lucifer of this universe set to have his own show on FOX it could also do well for the Show & Movie universes on the DARK side of the DC world to combine, I have no casting wishes for now on the SANDMAN movie, but I would enjoy Joseph in the title role and him to helm the CO-directors chair with Gaiman, I do hope this movie comes out before 2019, anywhere from 2017 to 2018 is ok with me, one thing I hope they don't do is unite SANDMAN with the Justice League Dark, as I have seen some fans hope for that and even cast the titular man of the movie in the JLD movie and that is a NO for me.
Now onto the big one...
JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK
YES I want Del Toro to direct, YES I want this movie to connect to the show (Constantine) BUT AND A BIG ONE AT THAT! AFTER AND ONLY AFTER SEASON 3, that would mean that Constantine season 1 (2014-2015, Season 2 (2015-2016) Season 3 (2016-2017) would have to go by and then the movie in 2018, WHY? because Season 1 of Constantine must end with him getting Dr. Fate and or Zatanna on his team, Season 2 ends with Jim Corrigan dying and Alec holland stepping away from the team after being introduced in the same season and season 3 ends with Alec becoming Swamp thing and Corrigan sending Deadman to Constantine's way to set up the movie, Constantine, Dr. Fate, Swamp Thing (first seen in the movie) Deadman, Zatanna, The Specter (first seen in the movie) would unite to take down the big baddie. This of course sets the actors, date, director and almost everything, but on the off chance, if this movie does not connect to the show, I would really have to think long and hard and if I wanted it, I understand Arrow, Flash, Gotham and other DC shows not connecting, but this show and movie could create such a huge fan base for Vertigo & DC, the DC side has Multiple universes established by now, they have the Arrow/Flash, Gotham, Cinematic and other show's world set, would it damage Constantine to be sole show to unite with it's movie counterpart? No, it would only make the NBC show bigger and better.
That's the DARK Universe for now, I really want these movies to be done, as I have a lot of love for the Vertigo Imprint, their way of mind and of doing things really fits well with me, their feel and actions have always been cool and their library has a lot of potential, even more than the normal DC universe dare I say.
Well I hope you enjoyed and if you share any opinions on the JLD or Sandman movies please let them be heard.
