If it is one thing where DC has the upper hand over Marvel, it is their animated feature films. DC has been churning out hits thanks to the likes of Bruce Timm, Andrea Romano, and the late great Dwayne McDuffie. Another person who has been intricate in the success of the latest batch of films is screen writer Bob Goodman. Goodman has penned the screenplay for both parts of The Dark Knight Returns, handled Superman: Unbound, and has countless other writing credits including the Justice League cartoon and The Batman. Now it seems Goodman is wanting to take his talents to live action. Telling The Realm Cast at the premiere for The Dark Knight Returns Part 2, " I personally would like a crack at writing these (DC Characters) in the live action feature world, but we’ll see if I ever get that chance." While it looks like he is pretty gung ho to do it, he didn't specify what character he would like to tackle.

With Will Beall handling writing duties for Justice League (rumor has it David Goyer will look over the script) and there being multiple screenplays for all other DC heroes already. It's very difficult to say which DC hero Goodman could take a crack at that doesn't already have a script. However, his writing does speak for it's self in the realm of animation, and DC would be crazy not to at least listen to what the man has to say.

Warner Brothers are IDIOTS. The animation studio have been making amazing, compelling, emotional, and action packed DC movies and TV shows for the last 20 years. Yet, they keep choosing horrible people who know nothing about DC comics or the characters. Bruce Timm should take the Kevin Feige role for DC's live action movies. and Andrea Romano should be doing the casting, and the writers of DC animation should be doing the scripts, PERIOD. That is what should have if Warmers wants to create a cinematic universe to rival Marvels. But alas they won't, instead they will opt for being idiots.

I want a Flash movie, a Flash cartoon/animated movie (NOT Flashpoint), a Flash video game... fingers crossed for Justice League, because we all already know Man of Steel is gonna smash the box office.

Lets see him make a live action movie not oriented with DC first. Just to see how he can handle it. Then tackle a major DC character if he does good.

I'd be more than OK if this guy did some live action DC stuff. The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 script (still need to finish Part 2) is excellent, and the Justice League series is outstanding and should be a heavy influence on a DC Cinematic Universe.

THIS is what Im talking about.. Screw every DC?WB live action movie to date. The only thing good has been Batman Begins.
They NEED to do better to compete with Marvel movies.
THIS is how to do it. And Bruce Timm as a major voice too
