Warner Brothers and DC to be released in
the next few years
movies by vertigo comics which is part
of DC Comics are also under
consideration number 10 the flash
if they made a version of Mount Rushmore
that featured the DC comic crates this
speedy superhero would most likely make
the cut the fastest man in the entire DC
universe the name of the flash has been
a mantle handed down from hero to hero
but he has always remained a character
of major importance to the DC elite
[Music]
the 2014 announcement that the
relatively unknown actor Azra Miller has
been cast as the main role has served to
whet the appetite of flash fans
everywhere as well as anyone else who
see me immensely talented actor in some
of his highly respected past
performances it's for not calling me
nothing by the way it's an endless
nightmare and these they
actually think they're being original
number nine The Sandman as confirmed by
comic book creator Neil Gaiman an
upcoming Sandman film is believed to be
in the works with Joseph gordon-levitt
attached go sleep aah-ohh published
under DC's vertigo imprint The Sandman
has served as the standard bearer and
flagship title of the burgeoning brand
acclaimed for its stunning visuals and
beautiful story the series focuses on
dream otherwise known as Morpheus who is
the lord of dreams his capture and the
growth he experiences as a result with
series regular Wesley Dodds previously
appearing in an episode of Smallville it
will be interesting to see a big-screen
adaptation of the superhero in the years
to come time for the Sandman to finally
have a good memory Shazam Shazam first
brought to the big screen as the star of
a film serial all the way back in 1941
it's safe to say it's about time Billy
Batson's alter-ego got the big-budget
treatment
[Music]
a twelve year old boy who can turn
himself into the incredibly powerful
superhero Captain Marvel by uttering the
word Shazam
his characters abilities have even
allowed him to go toe-to-toe with
Superman cool movie I'm big
meanwhile the casting of Dwayne the rock
Johnson as the heroes arch enemy black
Adam has ramped up anticipation for this
film his character character out there
that we're gonna announce very soon that
that I'm gonna that I'm gonna play and
and just say this it's the power of
Superman number seven Man of Steel
sequel that Karen
for what for believing in rain
Superman is without question one of the
most renowned and popular characters
ever created immensely powerful but all
too human in his feeling of isolation
and constant attempts to make himself a
better man there's something about him
that nearly everyone can relate to and
have fun with it grunts stronger than I
ever could have imagined it the only way
to know how strong mr. keen testing
limits
now that the world he inhabits has been
fleshed out and destruction reign
supreme in the 2013 Zack Snyder directed
flick we can't wait to see how the man
slash alien his surroundings and the
perception of him will shift number six
Aquaman
you sound so surprised the always shows
up first for many years Aquaman has been
treated as a joke by shows like Robot
Chicken and other comedy figures nobody
seems to understand how useful I am you
know I'm really capable I can do lots of
stuff you know lots but the one thing
most of those who mock him have in
common is that they know nothing about
him they're not tell Aquaman recreated
years ago and turned into an utter
badass who is among the most powerful
characters in all of the DC Universe
Aquaman deserves to be treated seriously
and brought to the big screen
and when it was confirmed that the
absolute ass-kicking machine Jason Momoa
of Game of Thrones Fame would be taking
on the role we were a lot more happy and
confident that Aquaman would finally be
done justice on the silver screen
am I asking this on answering the
question would you like to see me and
green leotard number five Wonder Woman
[Music]
brought to life by actress Lynda Carter
in the 1970s Wonder Woman is considered
to be one of the most powerful
characters in the DC universes and an
inspiration to many people worldwide
[Music]
as the first female superhero character
to ever be announced as a lead in a
movie it's certainly been a long time
coming it is time again to open the
lines of communication between man and
woman set to be directed by Michelle
Maclaren we look forward to seeing what
the gorgeous gal gadot will bring to the
character we've known and loved for
years in the upcoming super heroine
flick number four Batman standalone when
it comes to Batman the one word that we
most associate with him is cool a dark
character who comes out of the shadows
of the night to dole out justice to
those who think they're above it the
Caped Crusader's had a huge impact on
the film industry especially during the
last few decades
with notable actors like Adam West
Michael Keaton and Christian Bale
previously acting under the cowl and a
multitude of animated adaptations as
well we can't wait to see series newbie
fan Affleck try his hand at the crime
stopper like a damn fool
number three Suicide Squad assemble Task
Force X we have another suicide mission
when Warner Brothers announced the slate
of DC live-action films they intend to
release in the coming years and they got
to the Suicide Squad it had a lot of
people scratching their heads you knew
when you sent your little Suicide Squad
into Arkham they'd go off script oh it's
just you however a film featuring Harley
Quinn the Joker and a team comprised of
villains who've opted to act as heroes
in exchange for early prison releases
does sound kind of Awesome
[Laughter]
add in the casting of Margot Robbie as
Harley Jared Leto as the Joker and Will
Smith as Deadshot and now we really
can't wait
number two Justice League part 1 Batman
to justice maid once marble proved that
it was possible to make a successful
movie about a superhero team everyone
was waiting for DC to follow suit when
my Justice League fought them all due
respect Lex we aren't your Justice
League so when they announced their
plans for a Justice League film we knew
that our prayers had been answered
bringing together Superman Batman Wonder
Woman and Aquaman among others into one
film seemed like a fantasy just a few
years ago
now we find ourselves on the precipice
of it becoming a reality in a massive
film that will be split into two parts
released two years apart you can call us
the super 7 the super 7 what you don't
like it before we unveil our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions I'm a
terminator an Android some kind of
cyborg now I'm gonna have to worry about
operating systems and computer virus
what if we went underwater number 1
Batman vs Superman dawn of Justice this
is between you and me it all begins here
though it may not be the first film in
DC Comics is shared universe this
superhero flick can be considered the
one that will be starting it all off
aside from a series of vague Easter eggs
scattered throughout various media there
has never been direct contact between
DC's heroes on the big screen before
Bruce be reasonable you know what my
orders are
orders for the uninitiated who think
that it's a slam dunk that Supes will
destroy the masked man from Gotham we're
thinking you'll have another thing
