Greetings Nerdy lost aficionados and it’s time to enter the realm of dreams it’s kinda
like the realm of what ifs only far far more hypothetical.
When it comes to superhero films there are tons of stories.
Movies that got lost in production hell, people who were almost cast, scripts cast aside directors
lost and then there is just pure fan hope.
We’re about to take a look at DC films that fans really really wish would happen be it
because they were lost to time or just because it would be cool to see that character.
I’m Sasha and we’re about to count down the Top 10 DC Superhero Movies we wish were
real.
It’s going to be a fun one.
I’m excited.

Number 10 Joker -Harley.
Oh this movie getting made in this day and age it pains me to say cause I would watch
it so many times but good luck.
Now fans have been curious about this one for years with a big push post The Dark Knight
wherein fans were fan casting who would be a perfect Harley to his Joker.
However, after what happened with Heath Ledger that was obviously shelved but when word surfaced
that both would be in Suicide Squad and that it would touch on their relationship excitement
built again and for awhile a spinoff film with these two was on the docket.
With some fans taking to the onscreen more romantic/classic take on their relationship.
Although this relationship for some is one they refuse to have alternate takes on even
if they’ll accept alternate versions of literally everything else as they feel it
is abusive and should be depicted as such and ultimately cast aside there’s a lot
more nuance than that to these twos relationship but if I get into that we’ll be here all
day.
What killed this movie more than hypothetical backlash was how people reacted to jared leto’s
portrayal of the joker they loved Harley but not the joker especially not with how many
of his scenes were cut and how much of that movie was recut for tone.
This film languished in pre development hell for years after 2016s suicide squad and now
any leto joker projects have been completely prioritized so we probably won’t get this
movie any time soon.
But if it ever happens it’s got at least one guaranteed viewer.
ME.
Number 9 – Green Lantern again.
Now Ryan Reynolds from 2011 has become a bit of a pop culture joke.
Known for spending way too much time on effects which now don’t look quite so crisp as when
it was released and the more jaded claim they never looked good at all.
However, that movie was very cluttered it was trying to do a lot in a very short period
of time, turn hal into a green lantern train him, introduce sinestro parallax and have
him fight Hector Hammond.
Just too much so some feel the green lantern needs well a couple of things.
One a more cohesive plot, 2 it doesn’t have to be Hal we have many lantern choices and
also we don’t have to start with the origin we all know he found a ring.
It sounds so lame when you put like that but getting down to basics.
Green lantern could be a really cool space adventure.
People have been pitching and proposing the most recent by Christopher MCQuarrie.
I still have hope although honestly real talk we can do a bunch of these as animated films
animation is an under appreciated art form that is not just for kids.
Number 8 – Batman Beyond so Batman the animated series which began in 1992 yes I’m about
to the speel I do every time about the DCAU that is the dc animated universe an interconnected
bunch of animated series that ended off chronologically in the narrative with Batman Beyond or Batman
of the future as it was known in Europe.
This featured a futuristic Gotham where batman had retired after physically becoming unable
to be batman anymore.
He ends up in a mentorship role to a new young batman terry mcguiness after he discovers
his secret and decides that someone still needs to clean up Gotham.
In the comics there was a run and then also a version where was Damien Wayne.
I guess I would accept that version but honestly how cool would it be to see Neo Gotham.
In early 2019 rumours were swirling that this one could become a reality.
And was later bandied about as an April fools joke but fans were really excited and sometimes
when people get excited about April fool jokes they becomes a reality remember pokemon go.
Don’t let your dreams be dreams.
Number 7 – Nightwing.
Dick Grayson were going to pretend all that Rick Grayson stuff never happened, fans have
longed for Dick Grayson to get a solo big screen outing and for a time it looked like
maybe we were kinda going to get it.
Remember the Dark knight rises and joseph Gorden Levitts character ..Robin who found
the cave at the end, And fans were like omg Batman movie with kinda not grayson and then
well that was over.
Recently in 2018 there was talk of casting because it was rumoured they were looking
for Asian American actors and the fan bases reaction was largely k but how’s hit butt
there’s a lot of thirsty people in the Nightwing fanbase.
We’ve got Dick Grayson in Titans so that’s nice but some want an on screen adaptation
they feel we’ve had enough Batman we all know it’s time for someone else.
Number 6 – Martian Manhunter So we’ve seen Martian Man hunter in Supergirl and with
the success of Aquaman many felt that more obscure DC characters could do well.
Not that Aquaman is not well known but he’s not as loved as the big three.
Many people simply feel Martian Manhunter has a cool really cinematic and it would take
us away from familiar trodden grounds.
And into the realm of potentially something noiresque or a space epic or both is good
I’d like to see those blended.
This one would need solid effects though and please some practical prosthetics.
Number 5 – Static Shock.
This one could be a lot of fun and would be a good one to aim towards kids.
Not as many people know Static but that’s not always a bad thing it allows you more
room to play Virgil Hawkins who has electromagnetic control.
It was turned into an animated series in the early 2000s and was just a lot of fun.
Also a way to introduce more people to a pre-existing character of colour.
This character has a had a few origins so there are choices you could go more adult
or you could go more teen and fun.
After the success of Shazam that might be the way to go.
Virgil’s story is all about balance, balancing his newfound powers with his teenage struggles
and those of his community.
It’s neat not enough people remember static you know who did young justice.
Number 4 – Poison Ivy All hail the villain movie, I’m a huge fan of villain stories
where the hero is just there on the periphery a dark element in these villains lives.
It can be done and done successfully Suicide squad for all it’s flaws had glimpses of
this one of my favourite scenes is actually the joker Harley flashback scene the car chase
portion of it.
I think that angel of batman not being the focal point spices things up they really played
with that well in the excellent animated movie batman assault on arkham.
They’re going to try again in October of 2019 with the Joker and some feel that Poison
Ivy deserves her own shot and just her own although I’m sure some want a Harley ivy
movie as well.
Ivy has some very interesting potential given her ecological interests and general mysthanopy
a good writer could do a lot with what’s there.
A world where she is the hero or one could see why she views herself that way.
I’m down.
Number 3 – Animal Man.
Ok so I can’t think about animal man without thinking about manimal a short lived tv series
pretty much everyone forgets about, just because if the transformations were bad in this you’d
have manimal not that he really transforms but I digress.
Buddy Baker has the ability to mimic different facets of animals flight breathing uderwater
etc.
He got this iniatially because of being exposed to a crashed alien space craft.
He was created in 1965 but wasn’t really used much until Grant Morrison injected him
with some life blood and pathos.
The series dealt not only with him fighting crime but also with his connection to animals
and how that shaped his life and his relationship with his family later in the new 52 in one
of the more interesting comics of that dark time he got an intriguing connected to swamp
thing.
So there is potential for this character to come in a variety of ways or go solo.
Is the future of dc an interconnected universe I don’t know we’ll have to wait and see
Buddy could definitely stand alone as well.
Number 2 Batgirl ok this was on our list of movies that could save dc ha that title so
melodramatic it was there because it looks like it will happen even if it is struggling
cause its looking specifically for a female director, but it looks to be moving forward
and there is buzz that daisey ridley rey could be batgirl make of that what you will.
However it’s on this list too cause well there’s more than one batgirl and not everyone
want a barabara film some want a stephanie brown film or a Cassandra cain film.
Ooh a Cassandra cain assassin ninja epic that’s the one id watch given a choice.
Also proper Cassandra so barely speaking most of the story told visually ok I need to stop
I’m getting too attached to this idea.
A batgirl movie could be interesting but in this climate I can see it being polarizing
and Batgirl whoever she may be deserves better than that.
I’m so curious what would your dream batgirl movie?
Number 1 – Justice League Yes we recently at the time of this recording had a justice
league movie but not many people were happy with it, there’s calls to release the Snyder
cut and just the general idea that it was a bit of a mess, So some fans want a do over
a new justice league that can do these characters proud.
The justice league has been attempted before see that 90s tv series pilot but it is hard
especially if you haven’t introduced all the members yet, and if people keep getting
recast the dc film series truly is a multiverse but that can be a strength if played correctly.
The thing with a justice league film that one has to factor in is the expense the studio
won’t want a bunch of unknowns and it’s been proven you can’t just jump into it
so it may be awhile before we get another go, but if it happens I’ll be there.
And if not there’s always the dcau again don’t knock animation it’s not just for
kids there’s powerful storytelling going on there.
So those were 10 dc movie we wish were real I’m sure you have your own pics I know I
do.
Personal time I want a booster gold movie.
Tell me what your dream film is down below.
I’m Sasha thanks so much for watching top 10 nerd don’t forget to like share comment
