With three big DC CBMs coming out soon what are some of the other DC comics films we want to see?
The Flash: For one season on CBS starting in 1990, we got our only (yes I’m ignoring the JLA T.V. pilot) taste of a live action flash. I think it’s time this character is brought to the big screens, here are some reasons why. A rouges gallery that rivals Batman, multiple costume bearers (in case the actor hired opts out of his contract for sequels) and something we haven’t seen in a CBM yet, a superhero built on speed. Go with a slightly darker red and more gold than yellow and we could have a Flash that could outrun (pun intended) a lot of other CBMs. Barry Allen to start things off..maybe taking his superhero name from an old time famous athlete, Jay “The Flash” Garrick (I’m sure I’ll catch flack for that one haha)
Wonder Woman: This needs to be Pre-Crisis all the way with Diana owing her abilities to the goddess Aphrodite. Being the smartest and strongest Amazon of her kind, this movie could easily be a period piece until towards the end. Start off on Themyscira, with a civil war on the horizon, and end the film with Wonder Woman coming to Earth to protect the occupants here from rouge members of her own kind.
Aquaman: I know. This character doesn’t even translate that well in the comics but maybe it’s just never been done right? If you take the same approach as you take Wonder Woman and set the entire story in Atlantis this movie just might work. Living his entire life in the city of Atlantis, Arthur Curry does not know about his ties to “our world” and only finds out halfway through the film. This could be an underwater Avatar with the message of global pollution, something that is more important now than ever. Arthur could make contact with the human race after his other home world begins to die. This could be really cool if done properly.
With Aquaman and Wonder Woman both coming from different worlds (Yes I know Aquaman lives in the waters of earth), there could be a great threat looming that keeps drawing these heroes to Earth?
That’s all I’ve got so far for the mainstream DC characters. I would love to see something with Martian Manhunter but I think he’s better left being discovered in a JLA movie… I don't know, what do YOU think?
By the way, I agree with whoever said this woman and this costume is Wonder Woman
