DC has been churning out consistently strong animated features for several years now. This line of movies has adapted iconic storylines such as The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Year One, The Death of Superman, JLA: Tower of Babel and more. Its latest release, Justice League: War, is the start of a new shared continuity between upcoming titles. The mid-credits scene of that movie hinted at a follow-up focusing on Aquaman. Son of Batman and Batman: Assault on Arkham are also slated for release this year. Below, I’ve compiled a list of ten ideas that can be used for DC animated movies in the future. Some of these can work within…

Before 2006’s Superman Returns, there were a number of attempts to bring the Man of Steel back to the big screen after the Christopher Reeve movies. One of these projects was Superman: Flyby, which was in development in the early 2000’s. Scripted by J.J. Abrams, the movie was set to be directed by Terminator: Salvation‘s McG, replacing Brett Ratner. While it served as an origin story for Superman, Flyby had some drastic changes from the source material. In this iteration, Krypton was not completely destroyed, Jor-El committed suicide in prison, and in the original draft, a UFO-obsessed Lex Luthor was revealed to be Kryptonian. Henry Cavill, who went on to…

Plus, she’s expected to play Wonder Woman once more in the character’s own film. She will make $300,000 per movie. This news isn’t exactly surprising, but it’s good to know that a solo movie starring Diana Prince is at least being considered.…
