I think the ages of heroes matter alot, personally. Younger heroes. (Hawkgirl, Terrific) and older heroes (Hal, Guy) probably have different ideas of what heroism should be because of their generational differences (This is most likely the Kingdom Come influence). And Superman (maybe along with the rest of the JL) is more the “middle child” who steps in with reason, and forges ideals everyone can agree with and strive towards so that they can all work together in the future.

As for Wonder Woman-introduce her in a live-action movie and then use an animated series to expand on her origin.

1. Worlds finest

Personally, I would prefer a trinity movie, but a Worlds Finest film that sets up the trinity or possibly the JL is great too

2. JSA

While it’s not in my top 5 or anything, that would be an awesome project especially to see the past of heroes in this universe

3. Martian Manhunter

He’s a cool character, but personally I don’t think he needs his own project. I would love to see him somewhere else in the DCU though

4. The Question

YES

5. Zantanna

Sure why not. She’s good I’m just not as big of a fan as everyone else seems to be 😂

6. Nightwing

Personally I think he does not need a whole project dedicated to himself, but I do think he should play a big part in the Teen Titans

7. Black Canary & Green

This is a duo I don’t love as much as everyone else but I do agree they need a project, whether they know eachother already or not

8. Wally West Flash

Wally is my favorite flash and I beleive he deserves a project, with or without Barry

9. Animated Wonder Woman Series

Personally I would prefer a live action film, but this works too

10. I don’t want old Batman 😭

Bruh a 30-45 year old Batman ain’t old also that just means he will be in his prime, which is the Batman we all love

11. Legion of Doom

Yes I would love to see them as a Justice league threat it would be great and that’s all I have to say about it lol

12. I hope JL isn’t formed

Completely agree, that would be waaay to far in this universe for us to start with.

That’s it, hope you enjoyed reading my options whoever sees this!

[MatthewTorres-zc]

A worlds finest movie would be amazing

[errolstewart]

That DC Swamp Thing series was FABULOUS... I was really bummed when they canceled it for what seemed like BS reasons.. hope they pick it up with a similar feel...

[ShinAkakage]

A Hellblazer series like an hard R rated Supernatural on max would amazing!!!

Nightwing is one of the best selling books dc has right now, no way he doesn’t get a film. A budget for a Nightwing film would be in the lower end and getting a lot of real world high end acrobatics and martial arts and some good writing and Nightwing could easily be the best character in the DCU

[TheChannelOfM]

Tbh for the Green Arrow, he should really be getting his own origin story. Would be killer to see a cinematic Lian Yu and his return. Plus it's especially important to do it this way given people have been used to one version for a decade, and one who has been around for years that is more comic accurate would be too much of a shock to audiences in terms of how different he would be.

[JayeKelz]

A Martian Manhunter TV series would be dope actually. A movie would not give enough time to tell his story.

[GLnathanscott]

If they don’t do Parralax first up and they do put together a worlds finest movie, I would love to see a hard travelling heroes movie with Ollie & Hal, you could throw Barry in as well and really lean into their dynamic with each other

[Asomniaaa]

Would be so happy if we got a Martian Manhunter series. Love this character and there's so much story you could tell within a series format

[Jon-Rimmer]

If they do make a Worlds Finest movie, than Andy Muschietti and James Gunn should dual direct so that Superman and Batman are each done right.

[shadcast]

A JSA movie would make sense since we are seeing a universe that’ll explore how superheroes have affected its history, so on, & so forth

[Beawbeawgaming]

I'm praying we get a Nightwing movie/show, either his early days as Nightwing or him as a seasoned hero in Blüdhaven!

[claudiabcarvalho]

Actually, people don't really care about animations. You can see, based on how Marvel animated TV shows perform, that the general audience won't tune in for a Wonder Woman animated series. I understand that the character may be expensive, but Wonder Woman having an animated debut in the DCU is the worst thing they could do to her.

I do hope that Wonder Woman animated series is like Harley Quinn and My Adventures with Superman - its own thing, maybe something introductory for younger generations.

[JayeKelz]

Vandal Savage: The First Meta - series. I really hope that the mystery that Hal & John uncover has something to do with Vandal Savage.

Since Gunn said that, one of his inspirations for the DC films universe would be the DCAU, I think most of the projects in this first chapter might lead up to a Justice League movie adapting the Cadmus Arc (from JLU), with Amanda Waller as the main villain.

It's possible that Legacy will establish that most super heroes in DC Universe either work for a company or the goverment (like Guy Gardner, Hawgirl and Mr Terrific) or just retired (ex: the JSA), are dead (Barry Allen) or don't work on Earth (ex: The Green lanterns). Batman is a exception since he's a street vigilante and the goverment doesn't see him as potential threat. However Superman's arrival changes this system, wirth exposing and stopping Waller and the goverment illegall operations while also inspiring guys like Mr Terrific and Hawkgirl to be more independent. From that the films begin to show more independent heroes showing up like John Stewart (he could choose to work on Earth), Flash (Wally West) and Wonder Woman.

This causes the goverment to worry of this new super heroes and so, in response, could create a special task force to oppose the heroes in case they turn against world (it could be the OMACs or the AMAZOs). However Waller decides to not wait and instead uses her control over media to frame the heroes from crimes they didn't commit and turn the public against them, so she and her task force can legally hunt the heroes down (kind like the current event in the comics, Absolute Power).

This would not only allow the DCU JL film to be different from what fans expect, but also the fact that most of the heroes were established in their own movies and TV shows, would help to give more impact when Waller and her task force captures or maybe kills some of them, bc they are all character fans would get to know, rather than being random extras.

[owenoseroff]

Hot Take: If they make Barry older 30-40 and Wally is a Flash, I think it would be better for Wally's Flash to be on an adult Titans with Dick as Nightwing.

[toasta_man]

I think the problem people have with a 10 years in Batman is that we have a concrete understanding of stories that take place within the first 10 years. But anything after that usually jumps to an alternate future like Batman beyond or the dark knight returns. There’s a period in between these two stages of his career that is largely unknown, which makes people scared, as they assume anything after the initial 10 years will be old man Batman

[marcusyates]

Yes, I would love to have the Legion of Doom in this cinematic universe!

[Mirakulus]

We need more voices like Boba in the DC fan space. Great video! An eventual World's Finest movie could be amazing!
