NEWS; Gunning down the Snyderverse UPDATE Cavill gets the Kryptonite handshake!

Do they own Fables? (Which, granted is its own thing and not supers, and I really don't want them to ruin it...)

Now that he's free from all major entanglements Henry Cavill can return to chasing his true dream, finding somebody to talk about his Warhammer collection with.

I always thought it was unusual that the comic universe where everyone has a teenage sidekick decided to be the grimy dark one.

I love Justice League Dark (they have some animated stuff in the DCAU), but I don't think it would be a good idea to start with for the live-action movies. It's ... well, it's dark! To do it ... JUSTICE ... you'd probably need to go R, and that's not the sure-fire money maker.

Honestly, a complete revamp of Batman Beyond might work. Or maybe Green Lantern - I think most people have forgotten the Reynolds movie.

The issue with DC is that they have a TOP TOP TOP tier (call it the "Justice League" tier) and then they have a lot of C-level heroes, but not much in between. Marvel has a lot more of the "B" types. IMO. And while Guardians worked, it only worked after the hard work of establishing the MCU was already done.

Plus, there is the possibility that superhero fatigue might actually be setting in.

The super hero fatigue thing is also one of the reasons why I think that Dark might actually work. "Deadpool" shows that an R rated supes movie can work as does "Constantine", to specifically reference someone from Dark. Either Keanu or Matt Ryan would work in the part, tying into what has gone before.

I've always been skeptical of anyone making a Green Lantern movie that could work. It's just too silly, visually. Giant green hammers and slapping hands?

You saw the last two Thor movies?

The Guardians of the Galaxy movies?

I have given up on what could work.

Does Batman Beyond hold up? I remember thinking it was super cool and awesome and all that when it was first on, but I also haven't seen it since the 90's. Some of the sci-fi parts that I remember feel like they may be pretty hokey today.

You couldn't do it like it was originally - the anime-influenced vaguely cyberpunk future wouldn't quite work.

But the core theme of the relationship between an aging and bitter Bruce Wayne and a young brash Terry McGinnis would absolutely work. There's a lot of build off of right there.

I have. Still not as silly as giant green pillows catching falling citizens.

They co-own Fables with Bill Willingham. The trouble with Fables is, corporate quickly realizes that all the characters are open license, and you can "just make your own" so they do like they did with "Once Upon a Time" - a TV show, that AFAIR started life as a Fables show, until they decided that they had changed enough that they didn't want to give Willingham his cut.

I think that was planned, with Michael Keaton playing Bruce, but got scrapped along with all the rest.

As an adside, while I like Gal Godot, I'm kinda happy that WW3 isn't going to happen. When WW1 hit, it was like "Wow! That was almost really good! Too bad the studio (probably) made them change the third act into a horrible CG battle that also ruined the story."

So you make the assumption that given more freedom, Patty Jenkins would turn in a better WW movie. Apparently NOT.
