THE DARK KNIGHT RISES


Dark Knight Rises is the perfect finale to the franchise, with hearbreaking, heart-pumping, yet funny scenes. It's great. But not as great as the previous ones. It had some bad acting (The Talia death scene is painful) and some plot holes, but it's a great film. A worthy finale to a great trilogy. 

Christian Bale is the Batman i grew up with, i was just a pre-teen (a bit younger) when BB was released, and from there, i grew up with a great Batman. A great Catwoman, a..well decent Bane and a great ending. Albeit to Iron Man 3, where the hero hangs the cape and does a normal life..until duty calls.
 


WONDER WOMAN
GODS AND MONSTERS



Wonder Woman has potential, as there are a lot of females that want a WW film and with a major backup from the female demographic and she's a great character for little girls to look up to. This sequel would have featured Diana fighting aganst the corrupted gods who want to hunt down the true human son of Zeus. Jaime Alexander is in tact with Zeus, played by Sean Bean and the gods portrayed by many big stars.It would have been glorious if true.

MAN OF TOMMOROW


Man Of Steel had a good setup for a sequel, for many characters and stories to come. Kal had became Clark Kent. Brainiac or Luthor could have been the villains for a sequel, instead of BVS.

This sequel had much potential. With rumours of Supergirl and Brainiac, it would have been a great film. My vision has Lex (Bryan Cranston) and Supergirl (Kate Mara) and not much is changed. But a brighter tone and brighter suit. 

Green Lantern CORPS



Now, in Part 1, people thought i put the original GL film and that i liked it, NOPE, i hate it, but i was reffering to the character. Ryan is a good Hal and we got an awesome Sinestro. So, the sequel is gonna have a big force dealing with the corps, with Kyle Rayner (Adam Driver) and much more, with Olivia Thirlby playing a female GL.
So, that's that.
INJUSTICE


With the Justice League developed, the stakes of this story would have much connection to fans and audiences and Injustice is an awesome story and made a masteful game. 
With newcomers like Amanda Seyfried (Harley Quinn) joining, and i don't want to spoil the legacy of Heath Ledger, but in this 'alternate universe' of mine,  tragedy didn't strike and he was still alive to play the role that defined him.
 

THE FLASH



The Flash was always a fan favorite, he's funny, powerful, likeable and a badass. A solo movie would have been the perfect way to display The Speedster. He's perfect for a film, and Taron Egerton is, to me atleast, a perfect Flash. With Iris West, Reverse Flash and Jay Garrick joining the film that i want to be made, a Flash movie would be a fun ride.

" i grew up with a great Batman"

Read a single Batman comic book (then watch BvS), and still try to claim that Christian Bale played anything remotely close to "Batman" in those movies.

Nolan's Batman with the JL wouldbe as dumb as King-Kong Vs Gareth Edward'd Godzilla.

As always, bud, love it. Though I do admit Affleck may fit better with other heroes, but of course, we can't test it.

You are 1000% correct. Warner Brothers made the biggest blunder in cinema history. They would be considered a rival to Marvel instead of a laughing stock if they launched their DC universe from the Dark Knight trilogy. Don't listen to these people that don't know what they are talking about. Christian Bale is the perfect Batman AND Bruce Wayne. The proof is there for everyone to see. It is the highest rated AND highest earning solo Superhero Trilogy. It includes arguably the greatest CBM ever made. The only person who peddles that Nolan's Batman cannot exist with other DC heroes is Zack Snyder and it is clear that he is the last person people should be listening to.

I would do it different than how you describe. Actually I read a reimagined continuation of the Dark Knight Trilogy that introduces the DC superheroes. It is f*cking brilliant. The Wonder Woman story should be the definitive version of her origin. Plus it uses plot points from The Dark Knight and Man of Steel to make Green Lantern into a psuedo-realistic Green Lantern. After seeing it I just shake my head and think about what could have been. If they made those stories into movies it would have been epic like nothing anyone had ever seen. What an epic disaster! I still can't believe how f*cked up it turned out. When Zack Snyder told Warner Brothers that the Dark Knight Trilogy could not coexist with other DC characters, it should have disqualified him. Just because he is not creative enough to use the Nolan universe does not mean it could not be done. Because of that the studio flushed billions down the toilet...DC fans are in hiding and are forced to watch a rival CBM universe achieve all the success that Warner Brothers SHOULD be having.

Batfleck really f*cked up the character of Batman. He is the worst one to ever wear the cowl for the simple fact that he was an overweight, emotionless, guy running around in scotch tape and a garbage can. Let me not even get into the fact that there are comic book villains that killed less than he did. And we are supposed to believe that he is the leader of a team called the Justice League. Christian Bale perfectly captured the nuanced personalities that make up Batman's character. I am sure Warner Brothers executives that suggested replacing Bale are cleaning out there offices and updating their resume's. What a catastrophe! Who would have ever thought that replacing Bale would be the worst idea since Batnipples. But here we are...
