I'm fully aware that I did one of these before but, after watching Man of Steel on the computer again in better video quality (sound was ahead of the video this time), I figured I should put together a Phase One and the directors for each film.
Man of Steel and its sequel
He's an obvious given and while Man of Steel isn't his best movie, he did an overall good job making Superman relevant again and visually did a good job as always. He needs a new screenwriter if he's going to help improve the sequel and himself as a storyteller. Hopefully, the villain(s) will be Lex Luthor and Metallo. Makes most sense.
Wonder Woman
He was attached to Lobo so, clearly WB has interest in Guy Ritchie doing a DC movie. As with Zack Snyder's films, Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movies are visually striking but his Sherlock movies also have strong scripts (Game of Shadows could've been stronger) and if you give him a strong script, I'm sure he would cast the right actress for Wonder Woman and I can see him just really bringing her world to life.
The Flash
Duncan Jones or Shawn Levy
Here's the thing, I love both directors. Duncan Jones has proven with Source Code he can make an engaging effects movie with suspense, thrills, good acting and pacing. Problem is, it's too short. He would have to make, The Flash at least an hour and fifty. Shawn Levy has been attached to, The Flash. He left so he can gain more experience in the action and effects field. Well, Real Steel proves almost perfectly he can make a Flash movie work. If he gets a good cast and script of course. He can make it heart warming, funny and full of satisfying action.
Aquaman
This is completely left field but, bare with me here.
Yes, Jonathan Levine. Director of Warm Bodies and 50/50. He's a great director. Warm Bodies was fun and energetic, 50/50 was brilliant and very dramatic. Throw those two together, he can make for a great choice to direct Aquaman. Yes, he doesn't really have much to any experience in special effects. Well, neither really does James Gunn and he's directing Guardians of the Galaxy. I rest my case. He would make Aquaman popular among audiences.
Green Lantern
Neil Burger of Limitless. Thrilling, fast paced and quite engrossing. Give him a good script and he can make it one of the most engrossing films of the year. Limitless shows he can provide thrills, excitement, great acting from his cast, ect. I know what you're saying, "so what, so can a lot of directors" but, not many directors would be qualified to direct something big like Green Lantern. Sometimes, you got to go for the lesser known directors. As the majority of this list will show.
Batman
Nimrod Antal, director of Armored and more impressively, Predators. Predators is the example of why he would make a great Batman movie. Suspense, great action, it's got the gritty look and the acting from it's cast. He's not a much of an experienced director but he's proven he can direct actors in the benefit of the film and he can direct action with suspense. Both are a must for a Batman film. He would be able to deliver.
Justice League
David Yates has a good relationship with WB, has directed the last four Harry Potter movies (arguably the best, Cuaron sucks) and has proven he can balance characters with a good story and action on an epic scale (Deathly Hallows part 2 anyone?). He can deliver emotion with the story and action as well. Something like Justice League, it could range from excitement to sadness to who knows.
Go with these directors and I believe, it could rival that of Marvel Studios' films.
