@Avenging-X-Bolt: I respectfully disagree. Super and Luthor has been done for many movies. To break out of the BS emo Superman that was Superman Returns, we need a villain(s) to match his abilities. We need some plant punching power. An action movie, not a Luthor's super smarts gets beat by Supes super strength.   If Luthor was in the movie as a Machiavelli like adviser to Zod then fine, it is what he does. But as a  primary villain for the sake of a movie, it is boring and repetitive.

I still say Jonah Hex needs another shot, but this time done right, drop all that non sense about him talking to dead people and make it an actual western, just have our disfigured bada$$ bounty hunter going after a bounty, make it R rated and if at all possible keep out any supernatural involvement or at least minimize it, cause I know Hex occasionally deals with the supernatural but save that for the sequels 

Wait with the 6th being made as we speak I know your talking about Avengers but  there is 3 more Marvel movies coming out next year along side Avengers which is Wolverine, Ghost Rider and Spiderman.

I can't really speak for Green Lantern since I have not seen it yet... but why doesn't DC try to do the opposite of what Marvel is doing?

By that I mean either/or:

• Make a JLA movie (Big budget really great cast, effects and writing blockbuster film) and then make smaller (origin) solo movies of the characters involved.
• Instead of using A-List characters which most have been a media failure (Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Superman, Pre-Batman Begins Batman and Flash). Use their B-List characters and make them prominent enough so that they sell good, quality movies.

@gibson: A Hawkman movie would be great. The DCU has a lot of great B-List characters... There's Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire, Captain Atom, Booster Gold & Blue Beetle, Green Arrow, Black Canary and Huntress. A lot of potential!

@Gambit1024: The one problem with B-Listers is that most of them are related to an A-List character.

There needs to be a Batman for there to be a Robin, Oracle, Batgirl, Red Robin and Catwoman.

There needs to be a Superman for there to be a Supergirl, Superboy, Power Girl and Krypto.

There needs to be a Wonder Woman for there to be a Wonder Girl and Donna Tory.

There needs to be a Flash for there to be a Kid Flash and Impulse.

Yet, like I mentioned above, there is potential for other individual stories for B-List characters.

to me, the following characters could hold a solid movie 
 
Flash 
Question 
Wonder Woman 
Green Lantern 
Mr. Terrific 
Green Arrow 
Captain Marvel

@Gambit1024: The thing about Robin is that he wouldn't really work unless Batman were there. In the comics Robin has perfectly created his own image. In the comics he needs no Batman to go ahead with his heroics... in every "Other Media" incarnation he needs Batman for the sake of non-comic book readers.

Everybody knows who Batman and Robin are but not Robin by himself. Even in Young Justice he needed Batman to be introduced. I think a Teen Titans movie without Robin would work though. I also think that if DC focused on it's B-List characters for movies they would get a better response by the fans because (1) readers would get hints and small mentions that only Comic Book fans would know and (2) it would be perfect to introduce movie watchers to the rest of the DCU.

Everybody know who Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and even Aquaman are, but before the Marvel movies nobody knew who Iron Man or Thor were other than the readers. DC doesn't need to make movies of their A-List characters because everybody knows who they are. They need to push forward the rest of their universe.

@Gambit1024:

Sorry to respond really late, but DC doesn't own the rights to their characters. WB does. Marvel actually owns the rights to some of their characters (or disney).

But WB/Time Warner owns DC. Fox doesn't own Marvel.

They should just try a big budget animated film by the DCAU people. Sure, Mask of the Phantasm didn't make money but that's because they didn't really advertise it and it was planned as a straight to video movie in the first place.

And really, they should just get the DCAU people involved, at least in the writing.

@KingofMadCows:

I said some not all. And yes Fox owns the rights to some Marvel Characters (X-men, Fantastic Four, etc).

OP says Batman Begins was a lackluster?

BB

@Billy Batson: Ok, I was stupid when I wrote it. I rewatched it last week and it was good. Seemed a lot more boring when I was 14.

@Misterwizz: The point is that DC is entirely owned by the same company so they can make a movie about any DC character they want. They can also make a movie with every DC character in it. Marvel can't do that. Well, they probably can but Disney would have to pay Fox a lot of money.

@KingofMadCows: And Sony. Spider-Man's their baby.

@Gambit1024: Well I guess that depends on how well the new Spiderman does. I doubt they'd have to pay that much to New Line for Blade or Lionsgate for Punisher.

@KingofMadCows: Are you kidding? The next Spider-Man is gonna crush at the box office. The first and third film of the last franchise are two of the highest grossing superhero films of all time. Spidey's a cash cow. No way are they gonna sell him anytime soon.

Punisher sold because both of his movies were bombs and Blade sold because I'm pretty sure they had an agreement with Marvel Studios. X-Men and Spider-Man, however, aren't gonna be Marvel's for a loooong time. I believe that in the next few years, if Fox doesn't crank out a Fantastic Four and a Daredevil movie, those rights can and will revert back to Marvel. So at least Marvel would be able to bring in DD and the FF to their little MCU.

Green Lantern could have been a good movie if it was done right.

Geoff Johns is fail

I think better effort should have been put into Wonder Woman

I wonder if they will make a movie of all the dc characters.

If they don't make a Flash movie within ten years, I'm going to be oh so pissed.

If Marvel can do Thor and frickin' Ant Man then DC can certainly do WW and Aquaman!

What if they made a movie without the Big 3?

I mean a "JLA Year One" version of JLA movie?

Then a world's finest movie,a trinity movie

then the Big 3 joins the JLA

I agree DC has to get on top with their movies the problem is is that warner bros. just doesn't know how to translate them into a way that not only would the audience want to connect with the character but also sympathize with them. Take Superman for example sure he's bullet proof on the outside but give him a reason to make him feel pain on the inside, like in the new movie have Brainiac (if its[its a robot it has no gender] in) make Superman watch Krypton's demise, also Clark Kent can be a very relatable character I mean a smallville timer trying to find his place in the big city. I mean if they even put half the effort they put into Batman in Superman the theater would explode with cinematic blockbusting master work. I had high hopes for Green Lantern and despite how much it failed I still shouted "Hell Yeah!" when Sinestro put on the yellow ring but its main problem was that with a Green Lantern movie they could of had one line that would give the movie meaning if Hal was fighting Sinestro after finding the regime he runs.

Hal: "Don't you see Sinestro! Your using the very thing you swore to fight to control your sector! Fear." Boom.

Point is DC comic movies have so much potential it just needs to be done right.

Man they really should do Flash ,Aquaman, Wonder Woman movies.
Seriously F**k Lex Luthor.

<----- Is still waiting for a Batman Beyond movie. <_<

@Primmaster64 said:

Do NOT put Lex Luthor in the Superman movie please. Been there done that.

yeah the whole lex luthor part is predictable.

It would be great to see Justice League or appearances from other DC characters but lets be realistic Batman and Superman are DC's most popular characters so of course all the movies, games and merchandise are going to revolve around them.

I haven't yet seen Green Lantern, but by what I've heard apparently it wasn't the best, which is a shame because it would've had a lot of potential. I don't think a movie just based on the Flash or Aquaman would get as much attention but if they had a Justice League movie it would be REALLY popular.

Green Lantern's problem was that they tried to make a movie based on Marvel's mold, and didn't put any thought into it. Because really, the way it looks like Green Lantern seems completely ready to jump into Avengers at any point.

It's other problem is Parallax is, now and forever, totally lame.

@Darth Paul: they didnt do ant man so FAIL.

@Comicfan47: No The Dark Knigth ever,to you know he was the third highest grossing of the world

I think Smallville has been a great acomplishment of Warner bros and DC. It is proof that there is a lot of people who crave to se DC characters in live action. As a big screen movie or just a TV series. A very interesting aproach would be for DC to make a group of miniseries that continued into a big screen movie. It would be kind of cool.
