Comic Book Question of the Week VOTING: Which DC Character Deserves a Feature Film?

Out of this list, I would first go with Wonder Woman. Her appeal needs to be broadened to increase her fan base. A girl friend of mine, true story, said that she doesn't read comics because they seem tailored to men.....enter Wonder Woman.

My plan for DC's cinematic future would be something along these lines:

- MoS

- MoS 2 (Superman/Batman)

- Justice League

At this point DC will just go full force with their movies, releasing 2-3 a year:

- Batman

- Wonder Woman

- Green Lantern

- Aquaman

- Cyborg

- MoS 3 (MoS 2)

- Justice League 2 and so on.....

Booster Gold & Blue Beetle
that is all

Wonder Woman. Because she can be a great source material. She's the second most interesting and important character in DC next to Batman. Important as in what stories she can offer. Great themes and stuff.

I would like DC to get someone like Nolan to make WW. When I mean like Nolan, I mean talented directors. Aronofsky, Nolan, and Paul T Anderson are three model directors I have in mind. Directors who have clear vision and artistic talent. Movies that will focus on story, theme, craftmanship, and vision above all else. I would love to see a diverse set of CBM. Not just dumb action-filled movies whose main purposes are to engage audiences to mindless action pieces. I love Marvel. All marvel movies are basically made for the average movie goers and for the entertainment for all. But shouldn't DC be more provocative in its approach? We already have the mindless action entertainment movies from Disney and Marvel. Do we really need to see it copy and pasted in Superman vs Batman (BTW if that is the title I am gonna flip out...)?i don't think so. So for the next few DC movies, we need some mature and serious movies. CBM movies will last longer this way too. And I think the best material to deliver such things outside of Batman and Superman is Wonder Woman. She is a big feminine figure. And I think feminism is out of hand nowadays and it's perhaps time to use Wonder Woman as a way of portraying equality, the way of the warrior, relatable events, old vs new, the new mythological approach with superheroes (something MoS should have been but effin failed at.... at least they tried), and perhaps introducing novel ideas in CBM movies like TDK did. Using Perez's and Azz's runs as inspirations are I think the best. They both used a lot of mythological themes, style, and stories at the same time writing incredible stories for Wonder Woman.

And DC in general should be focusing on the individual heroes as something more than just superheroes... Batman was more than just some guy in a costume. Superman is a god on Earth looking at Humanity as a stranger (best part of MoS that was never even developed >:[ !!!). And Wonder Woman should be something like a fish out water story but instead of just doing that she's questioning her old ways and the ways of "man" something that I really found interesting and fun to watch in Wonder Woman stories.

I want that Wonder Woman and DC. As a fan. I don't know if people here agree with me here but I really hope they do cus CBM really need some kind of diversity nowadays outside of being just mindless fun movies.

Wonder Woman, followed by Aquaman.

BTW

As a big NEW GODS fan I would love to see some sort of respectful adaptation of the NEW GODS. That would be awesome. But the problem would be that it would only focus on Orion (cus he's awesome) and there's Thor already and it'll look like a Thor rip off... so..... probs never gonna happen

BUT if they do the title should be called The Dog of War (get it lol?). I would love to see Orion throw down on screen. show some unrestricted rage coming from Orion. No restraints. full on force!

POOR Hawkgirl :( She's so underrated.

Any way Aquaman or Wonder Woman needs one ASAP!!

Agreed. Although she's not one of my favorite characters, she's the one that deserves a film the most.

I prefer to see Flash or Aquaman (or even GL reboot) feature film, BUT Diana deserves her own chance to shine. Vote for her.

your opinion, Martian Manhunter is one of the big seven all the characters you named except Nightwing dont deserve a movie.

Wonder Woman

WW.

Nightwing,with a character that's one of the oldest DC has in their pool of characters,Dick Grayson seems to get little respect,he's also the robin to leave(quit or fired,depending on continuity) and make his own name,in his own city,his way. And he's such a polar opposite from his mentor on personality,he's witty,upbeat and lively,while his adoptive father(again,depends on continuity) is cold,brooding and filled with sorrow. His movie would have elements of batman and spiderman,since that's kinda what Grayson as nightwing is,upbeat,but has a modus operandi similar,but not exatcly like his mentor. Having his own movie could also make for some terrific character moments,as Grayson get's close to people quite frequently,he'd also possibly be in bludhaven which is just close enough to gotham for maybe a cameo or two from bat girl,damina Wayne,or Tim drake,depending on the direction,and the continuity of the dcu movieverse. Dick Grayson is also a guy that,in my opinion at least,is just comedic gold,his quips are fun,his remarks timed perfectly(on a page at least) he's a justifiable character for moments of comedy without it going out of character. Also,since gray sons is a ladies man,he's not the worst looking guy in the world,but it wouldn't be so tough dragging a significant other to ones of these films if they saw someone,who was generally thought of as a attractive male,pretty boy or otherwise,of course the actor needs to play the part well,I'm just saying,Thor has Chris hemsworth......girls go nuts for that gu,non important. It could also show a few flashbacks in the movie(or even in the opening credits,similar to spider man 3) that show sometime of him as Robin, get fired/ quitting(ala "Old Wounds") though this would be tough since they'd have to get Ben in for what would essentially be a cameo when he plays the boss of the star character,guy's usually busy anyway.

Anyway,those are reason why I want dick Grayson to get his own nightwing movie,and why i think it could work in film. Also,I'd like a teen Titans movie......Booyah!!

GL please followed by MM. Keep it cosmic.

Wonder Woman

Voted Flash.

Would have voted Wonder Woman but I have no faith that they'll nail it like they did Man of Steel. Took them that long to get him a good movie.

I voted Hawkgirl, just because I felt she deserved the vote. In truth, other characters probably deserves a film more. But Hawkgirl definitely could use some more appreciation and screentime.

Wonder Woman DESERVES a film more than anyone else on the list, but I'd be much more excited if an Aquaman film was announced, so I voted Aquaman.

On the other hand, GL's last movie had a teaser ending scene.

Pretty much all the other important characters other than Superman and Batman. Especially Wonder Woman.

1. Aquaman

2. Wonder Woman

3. Flash

4. Green Lantern

WW. This was the easiest vote I've done on this website in weeks.

Aquaman for me; a film or trilogy based on his New 52 run would be amazing. I've never really cared much for Wonder Woman.

@captain13:

I agree with your last point about Marvel getting Captain Marvel and Panther on the screen before DC is likely to get Wonder Woman on there. DC appears to feel as though Wonder Woman can't sustain a movie alone, that she doesn't have the name-power. I don't know if that's really how they feel, but it seems that way. I like Marvel and DC equally, but Marvel is killing the movies vs DC. They are willing to branch out characters and even give lesser known ones some spotlight (Black Widow/Hawkeye). Not to mention that Marvel is going to have a movie featuring/starring a talking Raccoon and walking talking tree-man. Yet DC doesn't want to give Wonder Woman a try, I'm not sure why they think she'd fail alone.

Honestly, I'd love to see a Nightwing movie as he's one of my favorite DC characters, but I don't see that happening. Nor is he a voting option in the poll (damn you @k4tzm4n !).

We need an Aquaman movie because for some reason whenever hes mentioned (to non comic book readers) they always think of the crappy superfriends aquaman and think hes a joke

Wonder Woman, for crying out loud. We should be having a third sequel coming up but Warner Bros was foolish enough to ditch Joss Whedon's script for a first movie so we got nothing. Imagine how successful Wonder Woman would have been in the comic industry if Whedon had his way.

Black Canary or Starfire. Just to be difficult.

I thought Captain Marvel was the main female Super heroine. Who's this Wonder Woman you speak of? Is she like the female Wonder Man or something?

Wonder Woman, and there is no other answer.

It has to be Wonder Woman. She's part of the trinity and an important member of the DC Universe.

I would like to see a Hawkgirl film, Shayera Hol version, the movie starts on Thanagar with her and her people, and we see what got her to Earth.

Aquaman by far

Flash

As long as there's no need to make it a trilogy then Wonder Woman. Unfortunately studios like to do things in three's which takes about seven years and asking a woman to put her life on hold for seven years is asking a lot.

voting for wonder woman but i think aquaman, flash, martian manhunter, green lantern (that travesty doesnt count) all deserve movies. im used to seeing the story of hawkgirl as a byproduct of hawkman but it would be interesting to see their story unfold from her point of view

The Flash is my favorite character on the list so I went with him but I realize a iconic character like Wonder Woman could use a movie too and should've had one by now.

@battle_forum_junkie:

I wonder why there never was a wonder woman film. Isn't it strange, that even nowadays that there are no super-heroine movies? It's time for DC and WB to seriously consider that. It's ambitious and novel to make a WW movie. And do you think there'll ever be another super-heroine movie after WW? how many iconic and relevant super-heroines are out there other than WW?

Aquaman for sure. I think it could be visually beautiful with Atlantis.

If WB continued with the Nolan-verse, I think I would agree with you. But it would've been a Grayson Batman (remember the time after Knightfall and after Final Crisis?) with it's own uniqueness coming from the prev. TDK movies and stuff.But I think it would be too confusing and annoying for the filmbuffs, film-goers, and critics (the general audience) since we have a new universe. It would be understood by us, the comic book people, but the general viewers would still go "wha... Huh?" even with all the flashbacks. The point is NOT trying to get people to UNDERSTAND the comic-verses but instead to like, enjoy, and delve into them. Remember, films are a different art than comics. the tools and techniques are VERY different. A great graphic novel that does what you said would be ... great. People will rate it highly and sh8t. but it won't necessarily work in a movie. It'll work in a graphic novel since we all generally KNOW who Nightwing is in the DCnU but it won't work a movie. The movie would be too much of a history lesson and, really, who wants that? it would be regarded as bad filmmaking for being this truncated 2 hour mess.

Before WB announced that the MoS-verse is NOT TDK-verse, I would have fully agreed with a sort of Nightwing movie. But now it's just impossible. Perhaps it's better to just use NW in Arrow or a new CW show.

PS what happened to that NightWing webisode series? did the kick-starter work? Are there any new episodes? It started off really good, it'd be a shame if it just ended with the first episode....

Wonder Woman of course. She needs a movie. I am not a huge fan of Wonder Woman, but she would be essential when making any DCU. My other choices would be the Flash and Martian Manhunter. I am a huge fan of both of those characters.

Aquaman. Because his power set is the most unique. There really never has been a big budget merpeople movie to my knowledge.

Aquaman or Wonder Woman would be nice.

Wonder Woman.

Even though I understand the desire for an aquaman film I am scared it would turn into Waterworld 2. I'm not sure they can make it look good enough or realistic enough.

I chose Martian Manhunter. There might be a disconnect/an identifiability problem being an extraterrestrial and because I really think they should start with an origin story with J'onn, even though I'm strong supporter of "rolling with it." But if they start with an origin story with J'onn the audience can develop a relationship with the J'onn and his tragedy. Different from Superman being an adult and witnessing it first hand.

After J'onn, I'm going to have to go with Wonder Woman, then The Flash and Aquaman.

Why not complete the Trinity already ? Wonder Woman then Aquaman and The Flash

With the changes to Aquaman's powers I would love to see a movie on him.

Well, they have tried to make Super-heroine movies. Catwoman, Supergirl, and Electra, for instance. It's just that they flopped, which is probably one of the reasons why DC is afraid to make another one.

Also, there's definitely the chance that we'll see another super-film with a female lead if DC bites the bullet and goes ahead with Wonder Woman.

First and foremost Wonder Woman

...then Flash (wich we'll see how it goes in the Arrow episodes and the possible pilot for his own show) then Aquaman and finally reboot Green Lantern if they are including him in the future Justice League movie.

@granitesoldier: Ha! I figured I'd leave all Batman/Superman related characters off this one and limit it to the characters who could build-up to a Justice League movie.

Those movies flopped because they were bad movies, not because they had female leads.

@gordyman: That's what I'm saying. There's definitely a chance to see another movie with a female lead, but I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon if DC doesn't make a Wonder Woman movie. Not that no other female superhero could hold her own movie, but I don't think it would work if they tried with anyone else first.
