[@paulnelson1169]

I disagree with skipping the origins. To me, the beginning of a heroes journey is the most important. It establishes the character and it’s the beginning of their arc. I think this new DC universe needs to begin fresh and build up to a much greater and expanded universe.

[@jbb15]

Yea I agree with you. The main complaint is that people are just sick of watching origins that they have already seen. They are forgetting why the first avengers movie worked was because we had seen almost all of the characters and cared about them.

[@johnotto-wl2yh]

I can see your point. But I’m sick of origin stories they need to have the characters already established

[@liamdean3478]

In my opinion, Man of Steel is the most perfect Superman origin movie of this generation. In fact, I believe that Man of Steel should not be abandoned. On the contrary, I think everything outside of Man of Steel should be abandoned, and then a Cinematic Universe should be built again from Man of Steel.

[@kungalexander829]

Exactly, the audience should grow alongside the characters, that's the purpose of origin stories Without it, there will be no strong connection between the audience and the character

[@fructuous7242]

You don't need an origin story to use the hero's journey, the "ordinary world" can just be them doing regular superhero stuff. Besides I think the hero's journey is way too overrated anyway.

[@rakdok900]

Idk man, I’d rather not have Dick already be established as Nightwing while Wally is a rookie Kid Flash. Nightwing and Wally’s friendship is something I really want to see on screen.

[@rim7115]

Yeah, but a Nightwing movie is easily top of my list, so I dont mind him aged up. Ways to do it with the wally friendship could be having Impulse on Teen Titans, or doing the weird 2 Wally West thing they did in New 52 or Rebirth (Old red head Wally came out of the speed force from an alternate reality or something and found there was another Wally West that was younger and looked like the CW Kid Flash design)

[@keyproblems7590]

They can’t do what justice league did, having half the characters appear for the first time. Unfortunately, no one wants to see a reboot flash, Shazam, Wonder Woman, aqua man so soon. It won’t be as good, but just have the universe already having a justice league. And make a green lantern movie

[@adenvue4310]

I think a Batman/Batfam TV show could be a good move. Matt Reeves can have the cinematic Batman for his run, and Gunn can make his universe feel lived in through the eyes of the Batfam.

Haven't watched yet but I think the first or second new Superman film should be be based on Superman vs. The Elite. This could serve in someways as a meta commentary on the traditional versions of superheroes vs the edgy versions of superheroes that the Synderverse tried to make more popular.

[@panthergod]

Exactly. Superman vs Elite, with Kingdom Come visual references, hell I'd bring in the Actual Authority. Maybe Actual well done references from Jim Lee For Tomorrow and the Nu 52 Superman Unbound by Azarello and Scott Snyder which touched on military/political/ "real world consequences" adversary type stuff Zack Snyder tried to do, but actually tell a good intelligent story.

[@medafan53]

Perhaps with some origin stories they should do what several superhero cartoons have done in the past, immediately coming to mind would be Spectacular Spider Man and Danny Phantom. In both cases the hero begins already active, and then at some point we have an episode with Flashbacks detailing the origin (in SSM this occurred during the Venom arc, in DP it involved an evil genie necessitating them redoing Danny's origin). Particularly with the transmedia approach James Gunn is pushing, something like a comic book or cartoon could easily handle that part.

[@rmjunk]

I think if we have this route then I would say that we could a tv show later on called 2021. This could have a season or two featuring each superhero’s origin. I just would want to see origins like Hal Jordan properly done in live action

[@TheDrexLord]

I don't think the new batman will get a solo movie because there's already a batman movie franchise, I think he will just appear in other people movies like the hulk in the mcu and batman solo adventures will probably be in games and animation. However I do think that a nightwing movie is likely and I hope that the teen titans or titans is founded by Tim because it works better scince they usually have a robin as the founder

[@HavokUnbound]

Agreed with most of this besides the fact that u think the first movies come out 2025.. its 2022 and the Superman script is already being written and it usually takes 16 months to film a movie.. the only movie they have scheduled for 2024 is joker 2 so they do need more films out that year and have all next year to start production on them

[@HavokUnbound]

@bruhmanofyear2 it most likely will if it does well

[@akilbrazier1421]

I feel like he threw out 2025 as in at the latest.

[@akilbrazier1421]

@bruhmanofyear2 I don’t think he is. This year we’re getting 4 DC movies (which has never happened) and Joker 2 comes out next year to hold fans over. I’m sure James Gunn will want a nice cushion in between the old universe’s final movie and his rebooted universe’s first movie to really distinguish between the two. So actually yea 2025 definitely seems most likely. Probably early in the year or maybe that summer. We’d be lucky to get it that soon tbh because usually rebooted properties take longer than a year to come out after the previous version of said property.

[@natek4488]

For me, I'd like to set my own DC universe in the 1990s and 2000s. Batman debuted in 1989. Superman debuted in 1992. Wonder Woman would appear during WW2 with the Justice Society. The Justice League would be formed in between 1995 or 1997 with the roster being the cast from the animated series. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash (Barry Allen), Green Lantern (John Stewart), Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter. Any additional heroes would follow like Aquaman, Shazam, Green Arrow, and the teen titans.

This sounds like I good idea mostly, I would say have Martian Manhunter be our window into the established Justice League and instead of doing a Batman film, make a animated-spider-verse style TV/movie but with the history of the Batfamily, not to do with multi-verse just make it a hard animated film.

[@hazgoldberg]

personally I wanted stephen amell to play as GA in the DCEU, james gunn could just say some people never change. I also think they should put ra's al ghul to be in the DCEU.

[@jamesrosengrant8675]

I'm on the titans part of the video rn and I see one change I'd recommend making. Just like how the JL will already exist, Dick's Titans team already existed. Most adaptations now do this anyways. Both the Titans show and the teen titans movies in the DCAMU had the POV team be a second generation type thing. Maybe instead of the team ever separating, it just has a revolving door of members and older sidekicks like Dick grew up and left. Considering how their relationship is currently growing more in the comics, I think Dick and Barbara are gonna be a couple in this universe (which is my preference). That said it'd be fun to show dick and starfire used to date and maybe their breaking up is why dick no longer leads the team. Or have that happen in the first titans movie after some awkward scenes in previous batfam movies showing dick and Barbara have a lot of chemistry and they only aren't dating rn because dick is with Cory. Idk there's a ton of possibilities if they just plan things out a bit

[@brantjustilian3791]

My idea for a new DCEU Would be: 1. The Bat Family- Which the villain would be Ra's al Ghul. 2. Superman- I would choose either Metallo or parallax. 3. Green Lantern- which would definitely have Sinestro. 4. Flash- Which will not have an evil speedster in it. Since I would hope James gun, wood, avoid in using the evil counterparts trope. 5. The justice league- Which could be the arrival of brainiac or either other cosmic thread, that is not dark side.

Dude you’re video is solid. However, Superman has to be the one to start his generation of heroes. You can’t have Batman operating for years, and even having a Robin and Batgirl way before Superman shows up. Gunn seems to be going more closely to the comics, and it was Superman’s debut that inspires other heroes to come out. Even Batman usually starts within 6 months of Clark’s first public appearance. As much as I’d like to see all the Bat Family, and we still could, you have to have Superman debut before everyone first, and the have the rest.

I imagine they'll hold off "Flash" longer, rather than have "Flashpoint" and its reboot come out three years apart. Anyway, this isn't 100% how I'd do it, but it sounds like a pretty good plan overall.

[@commanderspyder5432]

Here's what I'd do with the new Batman and JL trilogies in this reboot: Batman Legacy (this movie would focus on Jason Todd's origin as Robin. This could also be a Court of the Owls film with Jason already being Robin, unless Matt Reeves wants to adapt that story in his trilogy): The movie would begin with a flashback showing how Bruce and Dick had a falling out, which would explain Nightwing (and Batgirl) showing up in the rest of the film, then it would focus on Bruce, Jason and the villains (Two-Face as the main villain, since him and Jason have a personal history). Unless they played the Arkham games or watched the first three seasons of Titans, I don't think the general audience would be familiar enough with Jason Todd to start the franchise with the Red Hood straight away (there's also no setup for it unlike with the memorial in BvS). Batman: Death in the Family; This film would be a reinvention of the Batfleck movie, taking place mostly in Arkham Asylum with Joker and Deathstroke as the main villains (I think a lot of other villains should appear in this trilogy like how Penguin and Falcone were used in The Batman). Jason would obviously die in the final act (maybe Batgirl gets crippled and becomes Oracle too), and the after-credits scene would introduce Tim Drake. Batman: Under the Red Hood; This would just be an adaptation of the comic and animated movie of the same name, with Tim Drake as the new Robin. The post-credits scene could introduce Damian Wayne. Justice League: Doom; This film would act as a spiritual successor to the original JL film, with a League that has already formed fighting against the Legion of Doom. Justice League: Tower of Babel; an adaptation of the comic storyline of the same name, featuring new recruits on the team. Justice League: Darkseid War; This would be a loose adaptation of Crisis on Infinite Earths and Darkseid War, ending on a cliffhanger. Justice League: Final Crisis; The final fight against Darkseid and the Anti-Monitor, with the Snyderverse JL cast, Grant Gustins' Flash and many other alternate versions of characters returning to their roles to help stop the two villains.

[@EstebanAlvarez-Tostado]

You know what I think would be cool is if Hal Jordan was the SECOND Green Lantern of earth, and the first was Chip. So Green Lantern has to rise up the ranks to become the guardian of sector 2814. But no one takes him seriously until Hector Hammond surfaces, so the guardians send out Chip, alongside Hal as an assistant to Chip. But Hector pushes Chip in front of a yellow bus after discovering their weakness and kills him. Hector then teams up with a big threat (maybe Krona or Parallax) and the guardians still don’t trust or respect Hal but let him join the fight. Hal defeats Hector by the skin of his teeth and earns the title of the green lantern of sector 2814 and in the end or post credit scene. Convinces the guardians to allow one of his pilot friends (John, Kyle, Guy or anyone really) to become his partner and proves that earth needs more heroes and more green lanterns. And later, Alan Scott from earth 2 will become his mentor.

[@jamburna]

Cool ideas, but I think you're introducing a lot of the legacy characters way too early. The Batfamily already established I agree with, but Kid Flash, Aqualad, Wonder Girl, etc. shouldn't be introduced in the first solo films of The Flash, Aquaman and Wonder Woman. Legacy characters should be used for the longevity of the franchise.

[@trevturp6891]

They shouldn't skip over Garth becoming Aqualad at all in this new dc universe, Garth being Aqualad is an important part of his character, so they shouldn't do that. It would be a mistake to do that. It was a mistake to completely skip over Garth becoming Aqualad in Young Justice.

[@alexandrefrauches132]

My pitch for the movie slate for new DCEU would be this 1)Superman For Better Tomorrow Fancast: Superman (David Corenswet); Lois Lane (Natalia Dyer); Jimmy Olsen (Noah Schnapp); Parasite (Doug Jones); Lex Luthor (Billy Zane) Plot: A traditonal super hero film. Shows Superman first days in Metropolis, the begining of his romance with Lois and he dealing with the pressure of being the city’s new hero. The villains would be Parasite and Lex Luthor. 2) The Batman 2 Fancast: Batman (Robet Pattison), Robin/Dick Grayson (Jaeden Martell), Mad Hatter (Aidan Gillen) Ventriloquist (Toby Jones) Plot: A noir detective story in the same way the previous film. It would Introduce Dick Grayson, as orphan who lost his parents in the flood of the previous film and was inspired by Batman to become a street vigilante. The Villains would be Mad Hatter and The Ventriloquist & Scarface. 3) Flash Fastest Man Alive Fancast : Flash (Lucas Till); Iris West (Lily James); Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp) Gorilla Grodd (Keith David) Plot: A “Sam Raimi Spider man” style super hero film. Barry Allen would be come the Flash and team up with Jay Garrick, a speedster from Golden Age, to save Central City from Gorilla Grodd. 4) Superman & Batman World’s Finest Fancast: Superman (David Corenswet); Batman (Robet Pattison); Robin/Dick Grayson (Jaeden Martell); Lex Luthor (Billy Zane); Black Mask (Jon Hamm); Metallo (Ben Barnes) Plot: A buddy cop style movie. Superman would go to Gotham and teams up with Batman and Robin to stop a gang war between Penguin and Black Mask (who is reciving weapons from Lex Luthor). At first Superman and Batman wouldn’t get along, however it’s their bond with Dick Grayson that inspires them to work together.. 5) Wonder Woman the Amazonian Princess Fancast: Wonder Woman (Daisy Ridley); Julia Kapatelis (Sally Field) and. Circe (Tilda Swinton) It would be a mix of Highlander with Percy Jackson, with Diana being establish as immortal warrior and member of JSA who has to return to action in modern times to help her friend, Julia, find her daughter, Vanessa, who was kidnapp by Circe. 6) Green Lantern In Brightest Day... Fancast: Hal Jordan (Alden Ehrenreich); Carol Ferris (Charlotte Hope); Sinestro (Luke Evans); Killowog (Kevin Michael Richardson); Arisia (Chloë Grace Moretz); Ganthet (Michael Gambon); Sayd (Maggie Smith); Scar (Gleen Close); Krona (Hugo Weaving) A space adventure film Hal Jordan is recruited into the Green Lantern Corps, having Sinestro as his mentor and partner, and gains the Lanterns trust and respect after helping them in battle agains the Manhuters, lead by Krona. The post credit scene would introduce John Stewart, who replace Hal, while he is on space mission. 7) Justice League Secret Origin Fancast: Superman (David Corenswet); Batman (Robet Pattison); Wonder Woman (Daisy Ridley); Flash (Lucas Till); John Stewart (Mustafa Shakir); Hawkgirl (Carrie Coon); J’onn J’onzz (Colin Salmon); Protex (Iwan Rheon). Plot: A epic super hero film. The heroes would be reunite by J’onn J’onzz, who ask their help to return to Mars and stopping the Hyperclan, a group of white martians (lead by J’onn nephew, Protex), from stealing Earth energy to save their planet. In their adventure, they would meet with Hawkgirl, a space cop from Thanagar who came to their solar system after the white martians stole some thanagarian technology to execute their plan. The final scene would have Starro cameo and the Justice League fighting him (reference to New Frontier), revealing themselves as team to the world for the first time, with no one knowing about their adventure in Mars. That’s why the film title is Justice League SECRET origins.

Introducing Batman in the DCU is hella easy (especially if it’s not connected to The Batman). Simply treat him as the Nick Fury of the universe, primarily reserved for small (but important) parts and team-up films. Meanwhile, Reeves can continue with his vision, so we still get solo movies-I don’t thing this new Batman needs them🤷🏻‍♂️ In the meantime, I’m with you, Nightwing/Oracle/Jason Todd can already be a thing. With the emergence of all these “metas”, Bruce spends much of his time anylizing them, leading to a Tower of Babel storyline in the first (or second) JL. Also, a smaller hero, like Blue Beetle, would be the perfect start to a new universe; something Marvel didn’t do was start the world from the perspective of a street-level, “normal” human. ALSO also: Brainiac is a sequel/finale level villain. I want to see Manchester Black and the Elite as the villains for the first Superman, better establishing this new Supes’ morals and standing with the world.

Love this. I’d honestly only do one-two changes to what you said. Firstly, say that the JL is a bit older, and the Titans formed about a year after the JL and a year before Nightwing was created. Then, also have Babs still be batgirl to at least be able to have at least one batgirl movie

[@movethebox1503]

Feels like the old DCEU just rushing and skipping but great universe plan

[@thomaspayton436]

would love to see the JSA

[@fproductions3714]

We need an experienced Justice League movie & a Batman: Court of Owls & a Young Justice, DC should take inspiration from the DC animated movie universe fr

[@pjg406]

Jaime Reyes blue beetle shouldn’t be in the justice league at least not yet. Put him in teen titans

[@LibertyBridgeProductions]

Some of the origins I do wanna see tbh.

[@IronDeficiencyMan]

I feel like this universe kinda sucks. I know this is your opinion but starting out with a Justice League and a full Bat Family just feels lazy. This just seems like something thrown together in a couple of hours, skipping a lot of good stories.

[@shaunbryantjr2355]

i would have bruce become batman when he is 22 so he will be 32 when we see him. also 9:04 is a great titans lineup for a movie and thats the one i would use.

[@maximogallardo1841]

I imagine each saga having 2 phases, each phase lasting 3-5 years and having 5-7 movies. Phase 1: introductions, heroes are in a bad place due the jsa's assasination but superman comes in as their last hope Phase 2: superman teams up with other superheroes and the remaining jsa to defeat the legion of doom. The Jla is born. Phase 3: new metahumans are discovered everyday, among them is bart allen who omens a dark future. Cosmic side of the universe is explored. Phase 4: With time travel introduced, movies now take place in various times (batman beyond, booster gold, more speedsters). These leads to Jla the final frontier where the Jla defeat a time traveling menace (possibly Darkseid). Only to get a glimpse at the multiverse. Phase 5: Multiverse is explored. New generation of superheroes, farewell to classic characters. Jli is formed. Phase 6: dark multiverse is discovered. They defeat evil jla variants as a methapor of new heroes being the lead. New 52 is created.

[@ethandoyle4978]

I really hope blue beetle is part of James guns plan. I don’t wanna see that film have the same fate as the batgirl film .

[@shaidreamcast5141]

So many of these pitches just sounds like a movie where an experienced hero trains the new guy

[@fabiozanabria5614]

Easy 1.- SUPERMAN: clark kent arriving metropolis and fighting lex luthor 2.- BATMAN: a 45 years old batman adopts a new robin ( jason todd) after dick left him and alfred die 3.- WONDER WOMAN: 2017 movie basically ,without steve trevor dying and set in the cold war 4.- FLASH: origin story with a simple but carismatic villain like cap cold 5.- BATMAN 2: a mix beetween killing joke and a death in the family. Set in a night where the joker escapes arkham with harley quinn help and starts a series of murders with victims like gordon, fox and todd making batman to kill the joker and leave his life as a hero. 6.- AQUAMAN: an origin story too a good villain could be black mantha 7.- SUPERMAN: set 6 years after the first movie. Zod is coming to earth. Basically man of steel, with deaths like perry white, jimmy olsen, sam lane and jor el ia in thw final battle. At the end the world hate kriptionans and clark leaves the hero life and returns to smallville. 8.- FLASH 2 a movie where we can explore the speed force with zoom as the villain 9.- WONDER WOMAN 2: set 10 years after the first movie. Diana has lived with steve trevor and has to deal with his mortal life. At the end steve found argus. 10.- AQUAMAN 2: basically the 2018 movie against ocean master 11.- SUPERMAN 3: set 3 years after the second movie, clark is a farmer in smallville and has to deal with the arrival of his 10 years old cousin kara and dog krypto. The villain could be bizarro who is also looking for a family. At the end kara and krypto will be left with the danvers, two argus agents who are following bizarro believing he is superman and clark kent identity will die and superman will be the only thing left. 12.- WONDER WOMAN 3: set 12 years after the second movie. Steve trevor now the leader of argus will form a team called the justice society and call diana to take part of this. At the end most of the team would die saving the world with diana traumatised returning to the amazonas home. 13.- BATMAN 3: set 10 years after the second movie, basically the dark knight returns with superman in it 14.- JUSTICE LEAGUE PART 1: brainiac would be the villain the movie. Superman, batman, wonder woman, flash, aquaman and martian manhunter would be the team roast. And old steve trevor death facing brainiac would be inspiring to finally unite the team, leaving his second in command amanda waller in charge of argus and the revelation that it was brainiac who destroys krypton by setting doomsday free. At the end lex luthor becomes the new president of usa and before being destroyed , brainiac set free doomsday on earth. 15.- GREEN LANTERN: origin story with hal promising to return to carol when the earth would need him 16.- JUSTICE LEAGUE PART 2: doomsday will be the main villain and hal would retun to earth to join the justice league in the fight. At the end superman dies while killing doomsday and earth accept him as his savior. The rest of the team promise to unite again in case of need and make a warning to the new president lex luthor

[@ema4020]

too much movies before the first justice league movie, plus it's a cinematic universe, not a universe focused solely on the justice league and it's core members.

[@captainbeastwinger4940]

The new dcu Flash movie should be an origin The general moviegoing audience doesn't really know Flash's origin and the flash current flash movie already has him active for about a decade Remember bvs and zsjl takes place late 2015 and Barry has already been active 1-2 years presumably Zsjl doesn't even establish how he became the flash btw Josstice league had 1 line of dialogue referencing how he got his powers do yeah Even tho us nerds might already know all the origin stuff if you want to build a successful universe you have to give characters who haven't had their origins told yet movies so the general audience gets it It's like if aquaman already started with him being king for a decade and mera being pregnant Or if wonder woman 1 was set after bvs They would've probably flopped So yeah I'd be fine with him getting an origin movie

[@Silver_Spectre]

I think they should do what the MCU did after Iron Man 3, continue his story through the Avengers movies, but instead make heavily feature Batman in the Justice League movies and have Matt Reeve’s universe go on separately until that trilogy is done

[@civilbeast165]

If I was in charge, i would deliberately look for kids and teens to play the titans. Marvel and DC don’t understand how important teen heroes are and undervalue and underutilize them which is why they’re always either 18-twenty something when they first appear in live action. I watched a KZbin video explaining the importance of teen heroes better than me but it must have been deleted or something because I can’t find it on my playlist. I wouldn’t have the movies move in realistic time like the MCU because it leaves less possibilities and opportunities for storytelling and forces characters who were loved as kids for so long and is such a strong part of their history rush into growing up. I’d make the first movie a Batman movie about Jason becoming Robin and use flashbacks like the animated movie to explain his backstory while we see Jason as a 13 year old robin. I would have movies take place in the past to take advantage of not using realistic time and keep it believable that not much time passes for some characters like I’d make a movie about Martian Manhunter coming to earth in the 18’s and some of the myths about ghosts and monsters originat from him as he protects earth from white Martians. I would not do the Teen Titans and do Young Justice instead and Tim would be its leader after founding it with Impulse and Superboy. I would carefully play with any mentioning of time passing or time skips to make the Titans stay teens as long as possible and if the actors have the youthful appearances of the teens. I would also take a note from the young justice show and have certain characters grow up and leave the team while also introducing other teen heroes to take their place. So this new universe would always have plenty of teen heroes while we see others eventually grow up. I’m not knowledgeable about actors so I don’t know who I’d pick

[@BandakaKush]

Your plan repeats the mistakes of the DCEU before, shoehorning in characters, not doing true Irgun movies and assuming the public understands. If they are doing a true reboot they need to explain and introduce everyone accordingly.

[@YTCyan]

I feel like for a DC Cinematic Universe to be good, it needs to focus on a few things. The first is origins, I’m not talking for Batman or Superman, their origins are known well enough, but for the likes of Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern, we should get their origins, and the Justice League should have their origins in the first Justice League movie. The second is for the Justice League to develop alongside its members, with the team first learning to work together, then have them be broken apart by Batman’s contingency plans, have them reassemble begrudgingly after they’ve all experienced trauma to fight Darkseid and some members die, and have the Justice League in limbo for their last team up in the last movie of the saga, not being a Justice League movie at all. The third is an end goal, easily set by a Green Lantern saga focusing on the Blackest Night to be built up as the big finale event which can end with a good ending where the universe is made perfect by Kyle Rayner as the first White Lantern. The fourth is the build up of the Batfamily, which can be done right. The fifth is Teen Titans, it can also be done right if the characters are built as side characters in other projects (Maybe with Robin, Arsenal, Impulse, Aqualad, Wonder Girl and Miss Martian). There should be 4 phases in total, Phase 1 introduces the key members of the league and gets them to assemble, Phase 2 introducing the JSI and forcing the original league to shatter with Batman’s contingency plans, Phase 3 has them face Darkseid with Bruce and Barry dying and having them pass down the mantles to Dick and Wally, and Phase 4 introducing the Titans and the Suicide Squad before ending the entire story with the end of the Green Lantern Saga (GL6 would practically be a Justice League movie anyway, featuring the Green Lantern Corps, the Justice League, the Batfamily, the Titans and the Suicide Squad)

[@jason15212]

I would love it they included Icon in this universe

[@e443productions9]

Never having a bat family in the Batman movies is so wild to me. They’re literally fan favorite characters and yet they never get any spotlight

[@azeezibnnaim]

I love that the band aid is off and we are starting to get excited for what dcu could actually be

[@xenmartin9759]

I would say start with the JL Batman Superman Wonder Woman Wally West Flash Shazam Martian Manhunter John Stewart Green Lantern

[@thegrumpydino67]

where is the thumnail artwork from?

[@jso.3]

i really want them to keep the batman into the new universe because of how good of a first movie it would setup

[@arnoldmojados399]

The Foundation of this new Justice League will depend on new Superman movie Box office success...it must or else it's a disaster again..

[@brandonvazquez9430]

Considering the fact that James Gunn wants shows and video games to be connected. (Don’t think they will do the video games part) a lot of origins could be introduced

[@koolaidboi0079]

What if the blue beetle trilogy was with each blue beetle that’s ever been instead of starting with Jaime start with Dan so mabye you can put him in a justice society movie then make a Ted cord movie and kinda of put him in other movies before killing him off like a booster gold and blue beetle buddie film or a justice league movie so in Jaime movie you can have an established booster gold kind of train Jaime to be the newest blue beetle kinda like the injustice comic books

[@Kamandi2]

I disagree with most of your decisions. Everything you’ve done is based on being a long time comic fan but the movies have to appeal to the general public. Most of the general public is completely in the dark on the various origins. You have to ignore every animated movie because the majority of the people watching them are comic fans. They really need to go early in the careers of all the characters. There isn’t even a need for various Robins to exist. The DCU is probably going to be going for 10 to 20 years like the MCU is so there is plenty of time to introduce characters. Someone like Stephanie Brown doesn’t even need to exist. I love her as a character in the comics but she will be meaningless to the general public. If you disregard all of the animated movies and disregard everything in the comics, since the majority of the public will have not seen or read any of them, the only thing that people really know is the basics of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. The vast majority of the MCU audience has never even read a comic or watched a marvel animated movie, but they are box office hits. So the DCU needs to appeal to that same audience to be successful long-term and not just be a fanboy wet dream. A lot of what you have planned out is great for a timeline but I would have the first movie set about one year after Superman first appears in your timeline and everything be on that in your timeline would be in movies and not just backstory. I also would not have wonder woman be 1000 years old. She would be relatively young and was never a member of the justice society. I wouldn’t even mention the justice society or have them exist. I would prefer the justice society be used for the introduction of the multi-verse in the movies. Perhaps the second justice league movie could be the JLA meeting the JSA from Earth 2. That would then allow for older versions of Batman, Superman and wonder woman from earth 2

[@xaviertaylor8027]

Awesome video

[@atmhorrorfilms]

They still should have kept at least Henry Cavill. I personally feel bad for Henry because he was so excited to return as Superman then James Gunn fires him. Henry doesn't deserve to get fired. But other than that I hope this new DC reboot turns out better than the MCU. I think MCU is falling off.

[@215death1]

It’s funny cuz I mostly agree with everything you explained

[@mcnugget8927]

Just a couple issues I had with your pitch -It would be rather boring for Wonder Woman to be from the past again as the DCEU just did that -Having Dick already be Nightwing while making characters like Donna and Wally Tim's age takes away so much from both Tim and Dick. Each have there own set of friends that are important to their development. It's really not interchangeable. The New 52 did and basically just resulted in Dick losing almost all of his Titans friends. It make much more sense to just make Bruce be in about year 5-7 where Dick would be a teenaged Robin ready to form the Titans. -I know it sucks for Aquaman fans but I feel like you could just skip him and not make him a part of the original 7. What makes Batman, Superman and Spider-Man characters who can easily be rebooted is how much of a unique take each reboot is. Your pitch doesn't feel unique enough to warrant another Aquaman reboot. It sounds like it could just be another movie in the DCEU.

[@mysterio1570]

Here is my DC reboot in my head. Justice League. Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman/Green Lantern/Green Arrow/Black Lightning/Zatana/Aquaman/Black Canary/The Flash/Blue Beatle. Then I would counter it with The Justice Society. All of them are established. Comic inspiration is the George Perez run in the 1980's. First JL is stoping Darksied from terroforming Earth. The second JL is Identity Crisis, but tweaked storyline wise. Third is some Braniac situation.

[@captainbeastwinger4940]

Nah batman should be early years but already have dick Grayson as Robin and focus on the fantastical elements to differentiate from the matt reeves movies You could immediately have movies based on robin and Batgirl year one And then a teen Titans movie Skipping to the third robin and Barbara already being oracle is just wasted potential Also remember the general audience's last time seeing robin and Batgirl in live action was Batman and robin and they pretty much have no idea who the rest of team is So yeah Skipping to them already being established is a BAD idea

[@fredlloyd-ward6141]

If its a complete reset what about the suicide squad that was great and i want that Franshise to continue

[@fredlloyd-ward6141]

Slso shazam that should continue as well

[@adrinocarvalo]

Not to hate on your ideas, which are good but I hope this is not what we get. I hate this "already established" things. I want to see Batman solo, then Dick, then Jason, then Tim, then Damian and all their particular evolutions with screen time. I'm so tired of getting into DC stuff with "Oh, Dick is already Nightwing". I want to SEE it happening. I like what Reeves Batman did with early days in the sense of "he's already Batman but the major things haven't happened yet". If I wanted to get a "everything already happened" kinda universe I'd just read a random comic. I want to see how this new universe starts and develops from scratch or at least from an early stage. I wanna see the League being built, the Titans getting older and changing rosters, character deaths and so on and so forth.

[@adrianthearmorwarrior1605]

Here a video idea: what the Non MCU Marvel Movies would look like if they were replaced with DC Characters? Or what the Non DCEU movies would look like if they were replaced with Marvel characters?

[@Dinoman-mo7mt]

Will hal have been parallax already or are we going to see it or will it just not happen ever as a green lantern fan this is important to know

[@TheBlackLion001]

I'd probably completely skip that. I think we'd start with a simple GL movie about Sinestro turning into a yellow lantern and then skip all the way to the 2000s Green Lantern stories (I.e Sinestro Wars, The War of Light, Blackest Night, Brightest Day) which is peak Green Lantern
