As a DC fan, I have to be a bit envious of Marvel's MCU which is currently unfolding in movie theaters, and wish DC could do the same thing, (even if they did it first on the small screen with the DCAU). So, basically, if Warner Bros. gave me the reigns to the DC Cinematic Universe and I were creating a comic world through film, this is basically how I would do it.
DCCU – DC Cinematic Universe
Note: At least two films a year would be released, similar to Marvel's pattern, for example:
May - Superman
July - Batman
May - Wonder Woman
July - The Flash
May - Green Lantern
July - Aquaman
With some of DC's lesser-known characters, such as Martian Manhunter, Jason Blood, Warlord, Hawkman, ETC giving the audience a taste of the broader range of the universe and being released in October/November...
