Lobo: The main man behind the Main Man

Martin Mcdonagh


Notable work: In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths

Why it would work: Read this line from In Bruges, then we'll talk: Ray: That's for John Lennon, Yankee [frick]ing [foo foo]!

Why it wouldn't work: Can't think of a reason.

Flash: Who will get the Scarlet Speedster on Track?

Nicholas Stoller

Notable work: Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek, Neighbors, Five Year Engagement

Why it would work: Excellent, character based humor.

Why it wouldn't work: Lack of action experience.

Shazam: The World's Mightiest Mortal

Ron Clements and John Musker


Notable work:The Little Mermaid,Aladdin,Hercules,Treasure Planet,and The Princess and the Frog

Why it could work: These gentlemen delivered most of my childhood,and they also excel in keeping kids engrossed while delivering a dark story.

Why it couldn't work: Could they make the transition to live action?

Constantine

Jennifer Kent


Notable work: The Babadook

Why it would work: The Babadook is one of the most acclaimed horror movies in a long time. She would work wonders with a bigger budget.

Why it wouldn't work: Just comment a reason.

Green Lantern Corps:An Act of Will to get this done.

Frank Darabont



Notable work: The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Mist

Why it would work:His storytelling ability. When you think about it,GL is about story and characters. Few tell a better story than Darabont.

Why it wouldn't work: He has been picky about his projects since Shawshank.

@Mumbix - Edgar Wright would be great for Flash, he was on of the first I thought of- but I don't think he would be able to communicate with WB/DC, and Stoller does pretty good on the humor, and is young enough to want to work with WB/DC. I like the rest of your picks- especially Constantine(I would do cartwheels if he directed Constantine)

something like Lobo needs somebody like Tim Miller, cause Deadpool and Lobo aren't superheroes, you cant make them like regular superhero movies, cause they are both parodies. I don't think they could get Tim Miller thou

@JaredRWebb12 - I really like your choices. With a great hard working and awesome team behind these directors, they could really create greatness.

Not bad choices in my opinion, only one I'm not sure about is Darabont.
If I was to pick I'd go Colin Trevorrow for The Flash, Phil Lord and Chris Miller for Shazam, Craig Gillespie for Constantine and Joseph Kosinski for Green Lantern Corps, I dont know who I think would make a good Lobo director because I hate the character and hope he never gets a live action film

@flash23 - Thanks for reading. I re-read GL and I realized that the number one thing the movie got wrong was the characters-Darabont is probably one of the best character-oriented storytellers out there. And I liked Lars and the Real Girl. Good picks on you as well.
