Poll What DC Villain could have Live-Action Film? (49 votes)

Deathstroke 35%
Sinestro 10%
Black Adam 31%
Lex Luthor 10%
The Joker 4%
Other (Please Specify) 10%

I picked a few fan favorites and characters that have a lot of interest in solo series, but the list is pretty big. In addition to the people named, I could have included:

  • Zoom
  • Black Manta
  • First Born
  • Lobo
  • Ocean Master
  • Richard Dragon II
  • Cheetah

Among other characters.

Set in the DCEU, I think DC has a lot of really compelling villains that could make for awesome films. To see Lex Luthor grow into the self-made egomaniac ruling Metropolis, to seeing Slade make his mark as a soldier and eventual contract killer, the fall of Czarnia to madness forcing one man to become the Lobo, Ocean Master's rise to power in Atlantis, the training endured by Diaz Jr. to become Richard Dragon, etc.

There's a lot to see, but I think you get my point. Who would you like to see get a movie in the DCEU from the villains?

I think Black Adam would be the best and smartest choice for a solo film, or at least a film based around him.

My heart says Deathstroke, but my brain says Black Adam. Come on, he's played by Dwayne Johnson!

Out of those, Deathstroke for sure.

We're not lucky enough to see a Black Adam solo-film. We're just lucky enough for a Deathstroke one.

I'd love to see Deathstroke go on a murdering spree after having his dog killed.

I'm guessing it will be about Billy Batson getting his powers, but it'll take a dark turn when Black Adam is introduced, and then focus primarily on him.

Lobo, Black Adam and Deathstroke are ambiguous characters, so I think they can have a movie. A Joker movie would be difficult to make, but he's the most loved villain ever, so I think he deserves his own movie. Personally, I'd like to see a movie about Mr Freeze's origins.

Why not? The movie is called Shazam and Billy Batson is Shazam.

I know. DC won the rights to the name Captain Marvel, but they decided they'd just go with Shazam.

I would want Deathstroke.

But the Rock is Black Adam, so with that amount of star power, we'll more than likely get a BA movie before a Deathstroke movie.

Everyone you mentioned in the OP other than maybe Joker. That'd be one dark movie.

I would enjoy a DS movie a lot more than any of the other here. They good do it like the typical CBM or go the TDK route. There's multiple possibilities with a DS film. A Black Adam movie wouldn't be bad though, I still can't picture The Rock playing him though.

Deathstroke

Everyone is Deathstroke's enemy so you can have big time existing heroes and villain in the movie,smaller heroes and villains or just make up some enemy.

He would be a good way to expand the universe.

I presume Joker is mainly there due to his popularity. The character isn't really designed for a solo film in comparison to the others.

Sinestro -- he's infinitely more interesting than Hal Jordan and the Green Lanterns.

Yeah, most of the buzz for Shazam seems to be coming from Black Adam than Billy, they haven't even cast Shazam or Billy yet.

@moul: Personally Im worried that this will happen. I dont want this movie Shazam to be all about Black Adam. Im afraid he will get so much screen time that he will steal the movie.

@black_wreath: I know I would be surprised if they dont give her her own movie. Especially with the rising star that Margot Robbie is. People are wanting more female led cbm and Harley would be perfect she is just too great.

@darkdetective27: Indeed, I believe the Suicide Squad movie was green lit specifically to capitalise on her popularity, she should get first billing - let's face it, the majority of the audience are either going for her, going for Joker or going for her and Joker.

I personally think we could get them around the same time, but considering a lot of stuff already going down could include Deathstroke, I'd say he's closer to getting a film, or at least will be when he's at least cast.

I mean, he could easily be in Suicide Squad or the next Batman film. I've heard some say he should be who Cyborg faces in his movie too.

Everyone you mentioned in the OP other than maybe Joker. That'd be one dark movie.

Eh. You could make it an origin story, while he tortures someone. Maybe Harley?

@darkdetective27: Indeed, I believe the Suicide Squad movie was green lit specifically to capitalise on her popularity, she should get first billing - let's face it, the majority of the audience are either going for her, going for Joker or going for her and Joker.

So what kind of story would you have for her movie?

@scouterv: Hmm I don't know maybe a black comedy of her trying to do something independent of the Joker and making a huge mess of the Gotham underworld or something. Obviously featuring Poison Ivy at some point.

Nah, Deathstroke makes the most sense.
