Everything I'd Change About the DCU Plans 

If there's anyone I trust to reignite Superman's popularity in the movies it's James Gunn. 2025 can't come soon enough. Almost everything James Gunn has said has made me excited. The only choices that I'm a little mixed on are having Otis and Eve Teschmacher in the film instead of Mercy Graves (as far as we know) because I just think Mercy is a way more fun and interesting character. Also I've never been terribly fond of the Kendra Saunders Hawkgirl and I'm not too excited for that character.

Ive actually really come to like the idea of starting with Damian because if you start with Dick and then try to build the Batfamily out from there, it'd take like 8 movies and you'd need to introduce a new robin or sidekick every other movie. It'd feel rushed and repetitive and take like 16 years. Starting with Damian means we can just have a batfamily from the start and we can go back to look at earlier batfamily stories if we want

As much as I like Grant Gustin, I don’t think he should play The Flash in this Universe as it should be given to another actor and give them a chance. If he played an alternate Earth Flash then I’d be okay with that.

Chad Stahelski should direct Brave and the Bold. Imagine how good the action would be.

Did I mention Dick and Barbara need to redeem themselves after Batman & Robin

Superman (2025), Superman: the Movie; there's the difference after they change the name

Honestly, I would keep a few things the same since Chapter 1 comprises multiple projects with different tones, stories and a diversity of concepts and ideas that could kickstart something unique. However, two things I would very much prefer are: *1.)* Change the Lantern's TV series from a show into a live-action sci-fi blockbuster akin to the likes of Star Wars or even Dune, since Ive always personally felt Green Lantern has so much cinematic potential that was executed terribly in the 2011 movie and with genuine passion and good writing among vibrant visuals Green Lantern could make a major comeback on the big screen. Though I do think a TV series has potential for Green Lantern, I do think the fact that it's a terrestrial-based show about intergalactic space cops with the power to create anything from their imagination could be a bit too much of a grand concept for a TV series, plus the budget alone would probably be pretty significant given the VFX alone for the constructs, costumes and action, that is if they plan to have so many episodes that could hinder budget ratio. *2.)* As much as I am looking forward to seeing the DCU's take on Batman, I do feel like starting off with Damian is a big risk, not because I don't like Damian; I actually quite like his character and growth in the comics, but since Damian is the 4th Robin after three previous Robins who we'll supposedly be introduced to and established in this universe, it seems like a lot of overwhelming worldbuilding to show audiences at the first debut of Batman in this universe, while establishing other Bat-Family members and a larger mythos all in one movie which could really affect how this movie is received. Frankly, it would be better if the movie introduced Tim Drake becoming Robin in the movie /DCU. Just imagine a story focused on a Batman after around 10 years of being Batman and going through 2 Robins, Dick and Jason (who'd presumably be dead) and seeing an angrier Batman who's harsher on crime after losing Jason. Still, when Tim shows up, we see Batman embrace the idea of working with a partner again, and that allows him to grow and become a better person and hero with Tim by his side, even teaching Bruce things he didn't know since Tim is actually a more efficient detective than him. We see Bruce find hope in the future again because of Tim, thus allowing Batman to feel more comfortable working with other superheroes like Superman, thus naturally forming the Justice League in the long term of the DCU. They can also introduce Damian much later on and explore his dynamic/juxtaposition with Bruce and the other Bat Family members and how brutal Damian is compared to how Batman operates. Introducing Damian much later would also allow him to eventually form the Super-Sons with Superman's son Johnathn, presumably if they ever want to do that.

Nathan Fillion as Maxwell Lord would be so good

To me, Viola Davis as Waller is like J.K. Simmons as Jonas Jonasson, just a cast too perfect to change, so I will gladly look the other way.

Andy is NOT responsible for the flash. That movie was in hell for 9 damn years. Reworked by multiple writers, directors, and higher ups that lacked faith. Mama, IT 1 and 2 are HIS movies. The Flash was the studios movie. He worked fine with what he was given imo. Just needs a more solid foundation, aka Gunn, to work from.

Tbh I hope they don't change anything, because if they have a certain vision, they should try to carry that vision out and not let complaints interfere with the goal they are working towards. Love your videos btw 😃

Lanterns might be about more than just the green ones. It’s the other colours I find most interesting

100% wrong about The Batman-verse. Leave it alone.

Kingdom Come had one of my favorite heroes die; I won't spoil it, but I wish this doesn't happen when it goes down

1. The Batfamily should only be Batman Alfred and a Robin. 2. NO MORE GROUNDED IN REALITY BATMAN TAKES. It has now stagnated Batman as a character. Taking inspiration from 1982s The Thing Batman has to pay attention to people's mannerisms to determine whether or not they are who they say they are or are they Clayface. He will actually be allowed to be a detective for once. 3. Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern films PLEASE 🙏. Manhunter and Green Lantern have been forgotten about and replaced for some stupid reason. It's time to show respect to these characters. Manhunter more so in my opinion. 4. Take inspiration from Superman/Batman Apocalypse for the Batsuit. He's the closest a human can ever get to becoming Dracula. He's supposed to be so exceptional as a that he comes across as a supernatural wraith come to punish evildoers. 5. Use 2010's BBC TV Sherlock Holmes and 2009 & 2011 Sherlock for Batman’s deductive and tactical prowess NO TECH IS NEEDED. 6. PLEASE let Superman be the hopeful man from Superman vs The Elite. Dreams matter to Superman and it should never be laughed at or made to be gritty like what modern writers do with anything optimistic. 7. Ip Man, Live-action Himura Kenshin, Raizo Ninja Assassin, and somewhat Sunny/Quinn/Widow from into the badlands AMC for the Batman film fight scenes. Batman is the Paragon of Vigilantes so showcase it. 8. Give Batman his brain again he has created and developed some crazy things in the comics. It's time to showcase it. Take inspiration from Resident Evil with Albert Wesker, William Birkin, Alexia Ashford, and Carla Radames for his scientific prowess. He should be a prodigy amongst prodigies polymathic intellectual specializing in Biochemistry/Biomedical, Forensic Science, basically the Bio-organics fields. He has a friendly intellectual rivalry with Mr Terrific let's see that down the line. Think of Batman as the prodigy amongst a class of William James Sidis-level prodigies. 9. Green Arrow needs to be the grounded liberal Robin Hood not another watered-down Batman clone with watered-down Batman villains. Utilize Green Arrow's villains for they though aren't close to Batman’s villains are underrated. 10. Keep Swamp Thing into the horror area as his show was underrated. 11. Wonder Woman needs good villains outside of Ares, Cheetah how about Felix Faust for once as a build up villain gaining more power throughout her films to become the ultimate villain for her. 12. Cast someone who can actually do the fight scenes required of someone as skilled as Black Canary. Birds Of Prey ruined her she needs some love. 13. Bring some justice back to Mr Terrific after the debacle that was his CW counterpart. 14. Lastly give me more than just Joker and Mob villains for Batman. Philo Zeiss the enhanced super assassin, Lady Shiva, Killer Moth/Caraxes, Killer Croc, Sin Tzu and my favorites Man-Bat, Hugo Strange, Mister Freeze and Doctor Death.

If there is one thing that i would change is make green lantern a movie instead of a tv show. Green lantern deserves and is definitely popular enough to have a 2nd chance at a movie. Also this is an idea I’ve heard some float around and I think THIS IS PERFECT. The Batman part 1-3 is a prequel trilogy to brave and the bold. Now that doesn’t mean u have to get the actor Robert Pattinson to be the main Batman but what you could do is say that the dcu Batman from brave and the bold went through similar events that the Robert Pattinson Batman went through. And so make the reeves Batman trilogy essentially a loosely connected prequel to the brave and the bold

I would rework Lanterns by splitting the premise into two. I'd have a movie starring Hal Jordon as he travels the galaxy and uncovers a dark mystery Then I'd have a series set on Earth about John Stewart and Guy Gardner in a buddy cop story

you are the only youtuber i watch when it comes to the new dcu🤙

Stop talking about Snyder. I hate him. He is the past. I hated Man of Steel and Batman V Superman because both movies weren’t true to the characters.

Dude, nothing's even out yet

I highly suspect that the Authority is leading us into a modern version of Kingdom Come

Reeves/Pattinson Batman and the DCU Batman won't be competing with each other...they will both enhance the brand...It's good to have different projects...and obv Reeves/Pattinson Batman the most popular character in film rn

If Glenn Powell isn’t Hal Jordan I would be disappointed. Karen Gillian wants to play Poison Ivy which would be awesome. I want to see her as the character but doing some villain things first before getting in a lesbian relationship with Harlequin.

The general audience won't be confused lol

Think about it, a Green Lantern movie sequel in Chapter 2 or 3. Green Lantern: Blackest Night, that just sounds like it would be amazing. We need that story in live action.

Can you do part 3 to your dcu movies and TV shows predictions video with the chapter 2 or 3 movies

The first Green Lantern movie should have the Manhunters as the villains. Sinestro should be the villain in the sequel. The movies should take ideas from the Green Lantern First Flight animated film.

So for the age of Batman and thus consequent ages for his batfamily members, from across the comics there have been so many Batman origins and changes to his origins and changes to when he started doing what that it's hard to pin down how old Batman could or should be by the time Damian comes around. That said, I think the following age range kinda works with the logic I provide. To start let's look at how long each (and I'm gonna stick with Robins here) character takes to train to give us a baseline of how the age range might look. - Batman training: Usually consistent about 7 years traveling the world and learning the various things he needs to know to be a successful Batman. So 7 years before he becomes Batman in Year 1 - Dick Grayson: Batman would have taken his training and condensed it into a better format and add to that nights on patrol to give a more hands-on training approach. Dick Grayson, to give credence to his very long comic history, should have the most time as Robin under his belt. We can also say that we want him in his twenties by the time he's introduced as Nightwing so let's say his parents die when he's around 14. So let's say Dick spends 4-5 years as Robin starting in Year 3 of Batman. I say Year 3 because this version of Batman needs to be both not an old man and also have spent some time trying to be a father and not being very good at it by the time Damian rolls around. So 4-5 years for Dick starting in Year 3 for Batman. - Jason Todd: After Dick has his blowout with Batman and leaves to become Nightwing, Jason Todd replaces him. Let's keep the starting age consistent for Robins and say Jason is 14 when he tries to steal Batman's tires. By this point, Batman would believe he's got the training part down and so would condense the training even further. Add to that Jason's personality and "gotta go get 'em" attitude which gives Batman more reason to put Jason in the field too soon. So let's say that Jason only gets 1.5 or 2 years as Robin before getting clocked by Joker. Also, Batman doesn't seem to waste much time replacing Dick so we'll call it less than a year since Dick left before Jason comes into the picture. With all of that, let's say 1.5-2 years for Jason as Robin starting in Year 8 for Batman. - Tim Drake: After Jason's "death", Batman would need time to fall into his own darkness before Tim Drake decides Batman needs a Robin and he deduces Batman's identity. Let's say he waits until 2 years after Jason dies before he tries to take up the mantle but this timeframe can be adjusted easily cause Batman is pretty self-destructive by nature and so might fall closer to villainy faster than most. But for now, about 2 years. Tim will also start at 14. Tim has a great aptitude for most of the training, but Batman would still be keeping him on the bench for it so let's say Tim only gets about 2-3 years as Robin and is still Robin when Damian comes around. So 2-3 years starting in Year 12 for Batman. - This gives us the first 15 years of Batman for the DCU, something I think would be touched on, but not shown really since it's a lot of ground to cover for just a handful of characters. Now on to how old Bruce and the gang could be given this information. Based on what I understand from comics, the ages Bruce leaves to begin his training vary greatly but seems to land the beginning of his journey somewhere between the ages of 14-21 so let's use that age range. 7 years of training plus 15 years as Batman gives us 22 years total. 14+22=36 / 21+22=43. Reminder that this math is very loose and subject to a lot of change, but I think it's not unreasonable for Batman to meet Damian somewhere between the ages of 33 and 40. So - Bruce Wayne: 36-43 years old - Dick Grayson: 19 when he quits Batman in Year 8 + 4 to reach Year 12 = 23ish, but probably a little older if changes are made. - Jason Todd: 15-16 when he "dies" in Year 10 + 5 to reach the present = 20-21ish, but would probably be easy to make different given that he spends time being actively dead. - Tim Drake: 14 when he starts + 2-3 years to reach the present = 16-17 and still Robin. - If we want an age for Damian, Bruce has been doing Batman related things for 22 years. If you want Damian to be on the younger side (given that I don't really want actual children exposed to the world of Batman's rogues nor a bad child actor to play the character) we can say the youngest is about 11 when he's handed over to Bruce giving him a slight superiority to the other Robins who all started 3 years older than him. But that means Bruce ran into the League more than 11 years ago (to give time for proper relationships to develop between him and Ras and him and Talia) so in Year 4. I think all of this logic works to give a realistic timeline and age range for each of the main Robins and Batman in the present day of the DCU at Brave and the Bold. To sum up again: - Bruce: 36-43 - Dick: 23ish, but probably older - Jason: 20-21ish but might look younger because dead - Tim: 16-17 and still Robin - Damian: 11 Let me know what yall think

I agree with everything you just said. I would probably change the Superman title to "Superman: For All Mankind" if it truly is about inspiring kindness and hope and fighting the idea that these values are old fashioned. Ngl, I'm trying to wait and see how Superman does before I get my hopes up for this universe

I don’t like everything about the Pattinson Batman world. I am tired with Batman being so realistic. I want a Batman that feels like a comic book so I can see characters like Man-Bat, Clayface, and Mr Freeze. I don’t think they would exist in Robert’s world. I agree though that Andre isn’t the right director to do the movie. Of the directors out there I don’t know who I would want to direct a new Batman movie that isn’t Matt Reeves.

I don't wanna lose Margot Robbie, she's the perfect Harley Quinn But if James Gunn wants to, I think Jodie Comer should play her

I think if anyone could play Damian at age 14 it's Walker Scobell. Also I need your Arkham show. I also agree about Paradise Lost. Oh, and they confirmed that there's going to be a Teen Titans project.

So hyped for the Arkham show

They are having two different Batman Franchises because Matt Reeves requested that his Batman Universe be separate from any main DC Universe. This was confirmed by James Gunn on threads, and wish to have it incorporated into the DCU is an infringement on Matt Reeve's wishes.

The reason Green Lantern needs to have a show, but probably movies with shows as tie in material like clone wars, is because of the size of the cast. I just wish it was in space

I'd give Andy Muschietti one last chance to direct Brave and The Bold. I liked how he directs preteens in the IT movies. I think he can do something with a young Robin which we don't see any more in modern Batman media

Cool video

I think the more likely scenario is that most general audiences won’t think about or care at all about the universes and if they match up appropriately. General audience just wants good movies, if they’re good they’ll probably do alright

I have to say I feel bad for Tim he is a super underrated character and is underutilized by dc, and don’t bring up titans

I have an idea for a video What if the monsterverse was structured like the mcu

I got a video idea. Sort of a finale to your Arrowverse series you could rank all the main Arrowverse Show Seasons. Arrow, Flash, Constantine, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, and Batwoman

I don't believe most if The Flash was Andy Muschietti's fault. It was in development he'll for years and hand way to many writer and director changes. I still believe in him

Waller show is perfect,I want to know more of checkmate. Have u watched Smallville,Waller show will be great am very excited

Brandon Sklenar is a perfect bruce wayne and batman voice. I can see him alongside david corenswet

Bro is not cooking with this one

Peacemaker season 2 should’ve been an elseworlds show. Then fold in the other bits from Creature commandos and Waller. It keeps things simpler for general audiences

Algo que no me gusto es que recientemente joe manganiello dijo que no volvera ser deathstroke me gustaría que como el dijo tuviera una serie de hbo max seria genial que fuera clasificación R y fuera un drama

Please Make A Chapter Two To Your DCU Video

i feel like swamp thing should be done like man thing was, using practical effects with digital enhancement. he looked incredible in werewolf by night

Get Sam Hargrave. He directed Extraction with Chris Hemsworth.

Making the Brave and the Bold a dick grayson batman movie could fix the fact that it happens with the Batman Part 2, it would show respect towards nightwing, and it could add elements of the Batfamily that have been sorely lacking however I don't know how it would work with a younger version of superman so maybe not.

I think Andy is great for Batman. His Batman scenes in the flash were great 👍

Bruh it aint even out yet

I’d use Dick Grayson a through line for the movies. Start with him as Robin at 13, then move onto the early stories of him separating himself from Batman and forming the OG Titans with Donna and Wally then the New Titans lineup

It's also worth noting that Andi Machetti was only one of the Directors with conflicting visions who were in and out of the Flash movies production so even if you don't like his I work, I would say calling the CGI intetional along is a gross misconception.

Black Adam is NOT a Sony movie.

I live your idea to remove the authority and do a teen titans movie i really need a tt movie with great casting and dynamique

Lets hope WB doesn't can this new universe because it doesn't make a hundred billion dollar on the first flim

javon walter as damion, He boxes, hes in good shape, hes 17 but looks 13/14 he played in euphoria

Lanterns is going to be a mini-series of sorts. All of the shows are going to be shorter series - 8-10 episodes probably at best. And then Lanterns will be in the films.

I use to want Robert and David. In the same universe but I like that he’s in his own world now. I love that we get solo noir Batman and also a more established Batman with his bat family.

I just don't like the idea of making a wonder woman show or a movie cuz we already had on in Zack Snyder dc universe so I guess Paradise Lost will be a good idea tho 😅

Integrating the batman in the dcu is a terrible ideia in many ways, aside that, great video

Doesn’t make sense to recast Amanda Waller

Wow, the DCU hasn’t even began yet and you’re already making a “What I’d change” video? I’m not criticizing you or anything, I’m questioning you making this video instead of saving it for after the first few projects have released.

Good thing you’re not in charge😅

Whoever marvel hired to make man thing NEEDS to be the same people who make swamp thing cause man thing looks amazing the way the combined practical and cgi

Batman, the brave and the bold: Ethan Peck, or someone like him, would make a great Batman. Wonder Woman: Depending on Gunn's vision, Camilla Morrone would be a great casting or someone like Vladislava Galagan, a tall, muscular woman would be badass!

i like the idea of a ROBINS show where we see dick jason and tim start on their seperate “quests” and like the styles of each of their initial plots correspond to their personality (ie tim has a more detective story on his hands, jason’s is more classically gritty and gets deeper down the crime world, nightwing is more classically “superhero”-y), then like we see their storylines converge towards the middle and they have to finish the show working together to defeat the organization. gonna take good writing/directing but i feel like its giving the prior robins a time to shine when damian is in the spotlight

I don’t think Damian can work in live action. I think they’re really shit themselves in the foot by not going with Tim Drake

Nathan Fillion will always be Hal Jordan to me. If they are casting him, that is who he should play. Though the Green Lantern I want to see the most is John Stewart.

You cant change something that hasnt happened yet 😂

WE NEED A FLASH ORIGIN MOVIE AND MARTIAN MANHUNTER

Sydney Sweeney as Powergirl is all i want

most people think the venom movies are better than all of DC

If they make a night wing show they should use bette Kane as flamebird

Its still a tragedy that robert pattison’s batman cant just be the main batman of the dcu

I don't understand why you hating the flash so much? In my opinion, The Flash was one of the most fun entertaining and enjoyable I've ever watched in theater. Even it had really a better story than most of superhero movies. And the explanation of concept of multiverse was better and simple than that spiderman and doctor strange movie. Really a decent movie. Definitely comes under my top 4 DCEU movies.

cool

The Flash is not "so bad".

u should watch Justice league and justice league unlimited

A good template for a Waller show would be something like House of Cards. Not in the sense of focusing on politics, though it would be an interesting look into the DC universe, but as a character study and with a focus on her machinations and what motivates her to be such a terrible person.

Swamp Thing already has a director and it isn’t Gullimero Del Toro. That is very disappointing. He wanted to do a Justice League Dark movie with Swamp Thing on the Dark Team. He would have been perfect to direct that project. As for Amanda Waller, I like Viola. This is the first time we have a definitive live action version of the character. I don’t want another version right now. I don’t know who else could play the character as well as Voila. I am hoping The Question will be introduced in her series. I hear he will be rebooting Titans whim is awesome because I hated the Titans series. I want a new actor to play Nightwing. I hate Brenton as the character. I hate how the character was written. It isn’t true to how I know the character. He shouldn’t be a killer. Jason Todd is a killer not Grayson. As for Batman Brave and the Bold, I am not a fan of Damien since he is such a brat but I am hoping that the Damien we get will be a version I like. The good thing about this is that Dick will already be Nightwing. Jason will already be Red Hood. Tim Drake will already be Red Robin so we won’t have to wait to see this happen.

Sam rami for batman

The Flash is so good.

I think Timothee Chalamet would make a great Damien Robin. he has good phisique and is also young.

Id prefer to get Dick grayson Robin none of the damian wayne crap

What are you on about?

Just restore the Snyderverse as the prime universe and just make James Gunn DCU like Earth 2 or something.

3:52 no it should not😂L take

Flash shuold be The main hero in dc

Replace him with Jessie

And give us a live action teen titans movie their top 3 most popular teams of all time and have multiple popular tv shows one being one of the most beloved animated shows ever the other is teen titans go which is hated but loved by kids and super popular titans which has problems but had its gems I think a teen titans live action movie would outdo even avengers or Mcu projects if done correctly shii lemme be the writer it would be the best superhero movie ever😂

First! Finally

The Flash movie was ok

Number one change that I really want is that The Brave and the Bold should be a TV series instead, TV would be better for Bat Family too. Also allowing Reeves' Batman to occupy the cinema spot. back in the DCEU era WB are always going on about "people would be confused" but now they're allowing two active Batman film series smh

I’m very convinced The Brave and the Bold is going to have completely changed by the time it comes out. There’s been no news on writers, cast, or anything. It’s too early for Damian to appear. Plenty of time and room to come up with an entirely different synopsis.

The flash wasn’t a bad movie, it he problem was Ezra and very bad CGI

What’s the point of making a video of what you would change when nothing has came out yet from the DCU😂 very pointless

what i would change: -wait until 2026 (its still too early considering the last dceu project was 2023) -no animated projects will be part of dcu (bruh just make a new animated universe i prefer 2 universes going on at the same time) -no project or actor left from dceu other than blue beetle, only actors i would keep would be the blue beetle ones+ harley quinn -cancell waller, penguin, creature commandos and the authority (authority should appear only in a superman and the authority the rest dont deserve their own projects) -make jsa and constantine who can both carry their own movies (maybe even canonize keanu reeve's constantine and bring him back for constantine 2) -make batman and superman be the same age
