If the DC Black film series becomes a thing.
For me a horror type movie with Man-Bat.
Or a psychological horror with Professor Pyg.
I think a Deathstroke movie would be cool.
shareI'd like to see them just do some standalone superhero movies. Give me a Batman, Superman, or The Flash movie where I'm not thinking, "Oh, boy, here we go again..." and wind up giving up half-way through some tie-in multi-media extravaganza.
As for which characters I'd like to see, I think a Catwoman movie done right would be great. Slick, international jewel thief in the vein of The Sting or Ocean's Eleven or something like that, just a light, fun crime caper. Sandman (the '40s trenchcoat detective - although I'd dig the Vertigo Gaiman one, too) would be neat and could be a fun period film. Animal Man would be campy fun, and would open the door for some very clever writing.
But number one is Swamp Thing. For sure that'd be my top choice. It's a character that stands alone beautifully, Moore left some great source material, and it would be accessible outside of the superhero genre itself.
A psychological romantic comedy with Mad Hatter. Hell yea!
Wait, that doesn’t seem right, aye? It’s gotta be something dark and exclusively for the big bro oldheads /grown ups (usually what the other snobs in the comic film bubble say). Like dat super duper mature hardcore xxx Snyder comic fare (and now T Phillips Taxi Driver-based fare), right? XD Well, lemme see... with what other characters can a standalone flick be something familiarly colorless, hopeless, ultra violent torture porn-style and bawdy AF that it can get the edgelord (and some snobs’) seal of approval more than anything? I’d say... eh, whatever. Just anything with basically any well-known name as long as it’s concerned with quality. ;P
