DC Cinematic Universe Movies and Ideas all the way to 2024

DC Cinematic Universe Movies and Ideas all the way to 2024

Now that we know that WB has plans all the way to 2020, it's speculation time. When will we gat the first Justice League movie? What about Wonder Woman? and who will The Rock play?

Here are few ideas I have for the Batman v Superman movie, the Justice League, Wonder Woman and beyond. Hope you enjoy, keep in mind that these are only ideas based on what I believe (and hope) that might happen.


 
First of all, I like Arrow, and the new Flash show looks good, but I don’t think that WB should mix the movies with the shows. The two universes should remain separate, this way we can enjoy them both separately, and without them depending on each other. By the time will get Batman v Superman, Arrow will be in its 4th season, and Flash will be in its 3rd (tragic, I know), and I don’t want the writers of Arrow and Flash to be free and do whatever they want, and create their own TV universe. I don’t people will complain too much if we will have two different Flash characters, because one will be only in movies, and the other will be on TV. Besides, not everyone who goes to the movies is watching Arrow and Flash, you can’t ask someone to go and watch 3 season of a show he doesn’t watch, just so he will know the character better.


Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

 


After Man of Steel humanity still doesn’t really know how to react to this Superman being. Metropolis is now being rebuilt by LexCorp. The billionaire, Lex Luthor has donated billions of dollars to the people of the city, and his company is now rebuilding the broken city.
 
It will be revealed that the world engine from Man of Steel did a lot of damage to the world. The place where it blew up is now a big crater, the water there is poisoned and it transformed into green rocks (Kryptonite). The effects of the world engine are felt around the world, and many sea creators died because of it.

Lex says some of the things we all were thinking: why didn't Superman try to minimize the damage to the city and the people when he was fighting Zod and his army. Lax says that if Superman wanted, he could use his powers to enslave mankind, and humanity will be powerless and helpless. Lax says there must be a fail-safe against the Man of Steel.
Lex Luthor has been busy after Man of Steel. He thinks that Superman is a threat to the world. LexCorp gets their hand on some Kryptonian Tec: Zod’s armor, Zod’s body, the Kryptonian scout spaceship and more.
From all of it, he can create Metallo (played by Callan Mulvey).


 

I believe that Snyder is taking a somewhat “The Dark knight Returns” approach to this movie, so I believe that Batman has only been around for about 10-15 years. The Joker and all the other great rogues gallery is out there. My hopes are that Bruce Wayne stopped being Batman after the Joker “killed” Jason Todd (I hope that the stand-alone Batman movie will be based on “Under the Red Hood”). But after the events of Man of Steel, Bruce decided to put the cowl back, believing that Earth is facing a great threat, and he doesn’t trust Superman.  
 
Princess Diana of Themyscira won’t be yet Wonder Woman , and this is why her armor has no red-blue colors. It’s just an Amazonian armor, in Justice League she will become a hero, and have some red-blue colors on her armor. After the events of Man of Steel, the Amazons understand that it’s a new day, and they can’t hide from the world anymore.

And so the Amazons do and meet the Atlanteans. The new king of Atlantis is Orin (Aquaman). The two secret races meet to talk about the whole Superman situation. For years the Amazons and the Atlanteans were at war, but now after the Atlanteans suffered from the attack of the world engine, they are willing to join forces with the Amazons to fight Sueprman.



Queen Hippolyta prohibits her daughter go to the world of men. But Diana doesn’t want to stay on the island and turn her back to the world, and so she leaves to confront Superman by herself, trying to prove her mother that she is a big girl.
Eventually Superman and Batman clash. But in the end, they understand that the real enemy is Lex, so while Superman fights Metallo, Batman and Lex have their own show-down.

Don’t sure how the whole Wonder Woman and Aquaman thing will go down, but it will be cool if Wonder Woman decides that Superman is a hero, and so she end up fighting Aquaman.
In the end of the movie, it will be revealed that Lex got his hand on a Kryptonian computer. With some help from Lex, Brainiac rises.





August 5, 2016 - Green Lantern?


 
Next movie will be in August 5, 2016. I don’t think it will be Wonder Woman, since WB will want to see first how people react to Gal Gadot, but I really hope it will be Wonder Woman. If not, it might be Shazam or maybe WB will go on the safe bet and do a Batman stand-alone movie. Yes, I know that we will already see Batman in Dawn of Justice, but hey, Batman always makes money, so who cares?
 I hope that Justice League will have: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash and Green Lantern. I don’t think that Shazam and Cyborg need to be in the first JL movie, too many heroes.

I would like to see Shazam in August 2016 only if The Rock will be Shazam, if it won’t be the Rock, then they should wait with this movie and do it after Justice League 2.
I personally hope that the Rock will be Green Lantern in the DCCU, but I don’t want him to be John Stewart, I think Rock can be Hal Jordan (same character only different look, no hair, but lots of charisma). I think if the Rock stars in a Green Lantern movie, people will forget about that 2011 movie, and go watch the movie. And after the success of Guardians of the Galaxy and the return of Star Wars, WB needs to establish their own space movies.

Besides, I think the Rock right now is the kind of actor that people will go and see his movies even if those movies are not that great. The combination of the Rock and the Green Lantern lore could be a great thing, and WB could finally show us why Green Lantern is DC’s Star Wars.



I hope to see Sinestro in there, and it will be cool if Rufus Sewell will play him. I want to see the relationship between Hal and Sinestro. And keep the movie in space; no Earth is needed in this movie.  Keep it in space, and make it a space opera, with aliens and all of that.   
So, if Rock is Shazam, then have the movie in August 2016. If he isn’t, I want something else. Wonder Woman or Green Lantern, with the Rock as Hal Jordan (with no hair).  But I don’t want to see the Rock as Shazam because we don’t really need a Shazam movie right now. So I hope its Green Lantern with Rock.
  
I don’t know much about Shazam, so I can’t say what I want to see in the movie, but I hope that WB will wait with Shazam, and first do Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash and Green Lantern.


June 23, 2017 - Justice League

   
 
The next movie will be in June 23, 2017, and I think it’s a safe-bet that it will be Justice League. I hope that Brainiac will be the main villain.
It will be cool if the movie will take some inspirations from the New 52 stuff and the Justice League: War movie. I think that Guardians of the Galaxy is also proof that you can make a great movie about a team, without the need to do origin movies first.
Now, Guardians of the Galaxy had great success because of the chemistry of the characters, and also because the fact that it was funny as hell and it was a Marvel movie.
But I believe that they don’t need to tell us everything about the heroes, they can later do it in the stand-alone movies (skipping the whole origins story), and the main thing is to show the heroes interact with each other. It will be cool to see some of them get into some fights, like Superman vs. Aquaman, something that could prove everyone that Aquaman can go toe-to-toe with Superman. And they must have some fun stuff between the heroes, funny moments and stuff like that, because no one wants to see a bunch of heroes just angry and pissed off all the time. Show us their human side here and there.
              
An idea I had for a post-credits scene for Justice League: After the heroes save the world from Brainiac, Lex Luthor is freed from prison by a mysterious man, who offers Lex a chance to bring down the JL and take over the world. This guy is Vandal Savage. Time for phase 2.

November 17, 2017 - Wonder Woman

 
 
Next movie after that is in November 17, 2017. So, if we won’t get a Wonder Woman movie in 2016, it might be on this date. I think that after Batman v Superman WB will know if they should make a WW movie or not. Plus, if Batman v Superman and Justice League will be good and make money, people will trust WB and will watch any movie they put out, like Marvel. Plus, it’s dame time we will get a Wonder Woman movie.

I hope that WB will be able to work in the whole Greek mythology, but they have to make some sense out of it. They could do something similar to what Marvel did with Thor, and just call them Gods, but in fact they will be some old alien race or something like that. I also hope that Ares will be the main villain. I also think that they should keep most of the movie in Themyscira and other mythological places, this why nobody is going to ask: “Where was the Justice League?”.


March 23, 2018 - Aquaman

    
On March 23, 2018 we will get yet another movie, and here it really depends on which hero will steal the show in Justice League, it could be Aquaman or Flash or Green Lantern, one of these will be it. I hope it will be Aquaman, because it’s time to see how bad-ass this guy really is. I think that they show some of Aquaman origins, but in the movie he will already be king of Atlantis.
He will have a Thor-Loki like relationship with his brother, Ocean Master. The main thing is to keep the movie in Atlantis, and show Aquaman’s struggle as a king, as a half-human and his fight against his own brother. The film can be a political epic movie or something like that.

July 27, 2018 - Man of Steel 2

     
 
On July 27, 2018, I think we will get Man of Steel 2. I actually hope that they will keep Doomsday to Man of Steel 3. It will be cool if they have Bizarro in there, but make it darker. Maybe Lex will make Bizarro from Zod’s body or something. The reason why I hope that they won’t use Doomsday is because of my plans for phase 3.  
 

April 5, 2019 - Flash



On April 5, 2019, we should get Aquaman or Flash or Green Lantern (depends on what they do in March 2018). I hope it will be Flash. Still don’t know which Flash we will get, I hope it will be Barry Allen, but Wally West would be cool too, since he can bring more comedic elements.  
Barry Allen has a great story, and they should have either Gorilla Grodd or Weather Wizard as the main villain. They should keep Professor Zoom to the sequel.
 
June 14, 2019 - Batman



On June 14, 2019, we should get Aquaman or Flash or Green Lantern yet again. This time it can be Green Lantern (unless of course the Rock will be GL, then the movie should be in 2016).  It also can be a Batman stand-alone movie; because you know that in some point it will come.
If it will be a Batman movie, I hope they will use the Under the Red Hood storyline, or maybe adapt the Arkham Asylum story in some way.

April 3, 2020 - Justice League 2

 
On April 3, 2020, we will get Justice League 2, with the heroes fighting Vandal Savage and his Villains team.
Maybe they can have Amazo or Anti-Monitor also.  
In the post-credits scene, we will get a sneak peak at Darkseid.

June 19, 2020 - Shazam
  


On June 19, 2020 I think we might get some new hero, since it’s time to show the world more heroes. Here they can show us Shazam, and have the whole Shazam vs. Black Adam. At this point, the DC movies have to be really good and make lots of cash, so people will go and watch anything that WB/DC puts out, just like Marvel does.


New Gods

   
I hope that one of the phases 3 movies will have a New Gods movie, to set up Darkseid. It will be cool to see Orion, Highfather, the Female Furies and of course Darkseid. They can do it as some origins movie for Darkseid.


Man of Steel 3: Doomsday


I hope that the last movie before JL 3 will be Man of Steel 3: Doomsday. We need to see this. I don’t think they will actually “kill” Superman, so maybe after Superman “dies” he will be taken by Darkseid to Apokolips.


 Justice League 3: Apokolips


Then, in 2023/2024 (It’s about 10 years from now!!!) we will get Justice League 3, with the Justice League going to war with Darkseid. Somehow the JL will need to save Superman from the dark side, because he will be brain washed by Darkseid. Who know, we might see a clash between Superman and Shazam/Wonder Woman/ Aquaman and the others. This needs to be the big end game of the 3 phases.
Then, we will get something new in phase 4.   
 
I hope that the DC movies will be successful, and then they could have 3 movies per year.

There's still Sandman coming out, Dark Universe, and its more likely the Rock is playing Shazam.. I don't think WB is going to go anywhere near Green Lantern for a while.

3 movies a year from DC just isn't going to happen. There are way to many planned CBMs and its totally going to kill the market.

I don't know about Sandman, but I wont put my money on JL Dark, because they first need to make sure that their movies make lots of money.

@Rhysno1
Rhysno1, Marvel are going to do 3 movies per year every year, and I think if DC's movie will make good money, they will make more and more movies to make more money, and with the new Harry Potter movies and the Lord of the Rings movies, WB is going to make some good money in the next few years. Anyway, these are my hopes, didn't say that it will really happen.

Actually like your movie ideas. Lets see if WB/DC sees this as an outline and take it from BvS.

Flash would be in his second season.

The way I see tv shows and movies, it's kind of like video game or novelization tie-ins to movies - they're not canon, and mostly just have fun exploring what could happen in those universes. Stephen Amell won't be the Green Arrow in a movie, and I think despite being so amazingly enthusiastic about his role, he understands why.
---

Now one of the things that got me about your article here was you saying that we don't need a Shazam movie right now. Says who? Billy Batson is one of THE BEST characters in all of DC comics. I know that's my opinion and all, but hear me out.

Captain Marvel is an extension, a dream of what Billy wishes to be. He's a child, and although he's had it kind of rough being an orphan without any adoptive parents (sometimes), he still maintains hope that things can get better for him - not as Captain Marvel, but just in general. He uses Captain Marvel to live out his innocence, to be a full-time superhero. Right off the bat, I can think of two characters, one slightly obscure, one definitely not, who are fully inspired by him.

Bran Stark from Game of Thrones, and Simon Pooni from Superior. Both are grim in comparison, of course, but the elements are very much present.

Shazam is a tale for all ages, and we very much need to see a character who isn't brooding, isn't trying to be like Batman, and isn't complaining about how life sucks even when it very much does.

I'm telling you guys, Batman Vs Superman will have an "Arms race" story, the US government is going to try and match the power displayed by Superman in Man of Steel..this would easily introduce Cyborg and Metallo for Batman Vs Superman..LexCorp creating the latter.

By having this "Arms Race" this could also cause conflict between Wayne Enterprises and LexCorp.

LexCorp could steal Kryptonite from Wayne Enterprises, causing a detective Batman to go after them, in turn causing conflict with Superman.

All this spills over into the ocean at some point with a HUGE cliff hanger when Aquaman is revealed.

Jusitce League will deal with Atlantis Vs. the surface..with aquaman joining the justice league after he is betrayed..this way you have big action set pieces, and enemies that all heroes of different power levels can take.

Brainiac and DarkSeid are too big to have in the FIRST justice league film..c'mon guys

I hope to god they quit with the "Man of Steel" titles. It was fine the first time since he technically wasn't Superman yet, but now that he is, call it SUPERMAN and nothing else.

I was hoping while watching Man of Steel that there could have been at least an easter egg or reference to Brainiac to set up a sequel to Man of Steel 2. I would love to see more Superman villains associated with Superman. Metallo, Parasite, Livewire heck even Bizarro. I think Bizarro can work if Luthor where to have involvement with the creation of Bizarro.

I'm really eager for Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Batman, The Flash & Green Arrow. I do think the emerald archer deserves a film.

I would love to see Jason Momoa's Aquaman to look like that! That would be badass and make Aquaman look more like royalty. Although something tells me that he's going to look like the Justice Leagues animated version of Aquaman.

I don't know about most of you people, but I'd very much rather have the characters from the Justice League Animated series from 2001-2004 in the Justice League Movie. The characters are -Superman -Batman -Martian Manhunter -Wonder Woman -Hawkgirl -Flash and -Green lantern(John Stewart). What do you think?
