Making A Complete Cinematic Universe Entirely Out of Canceled DCEU Movies 

The saddest canceled movie is probably the Blue Beetle/Booster Gold buddy cop

I sometimes wonder if the DCEU would’ve been better than the MCU if they stuck to the original plan

One of the cancelled movies that could also fit is the cancelled Green Arrow prison break movie. I know they sort of did the plot in Arrow season 7 but it sounds like a cool concept

I love how you can make a full timeline of movies that have been cancelled

You should do a Marvel counterpart to the DC Animated Universe, it would be really cool

Even though not perfect, it's amazing what Marvel was able to pull of with the limited options they had at the beginning of the MCU and how they managed to build off from that compared to what WB & DC tried to do after seeing their success. It's amazing what a lack of planning, confidence, rushing things through and being indecisive/second-guessing themselves every step of the way. They did have their own successes but had a lot more misses and mediocre films rather than outright big hits.

This is so underrated I love your ability to bring all of these barely finished projects, except for a few, and make it into a believable universe. Keep up the amazing work!

This is actually mind blowing some of these movies had so much potential

really cool idea. Pretty crazy they announced a green lantern reboot only 4 years after the disastrous Reynolds movie

all i’ve ever wanted since i was a child was a decent Green Lantern movie. he was my favorite superhero and his movie even made me embarrassed. hopefully one day. i’d kill to see Hal’s transformation into Parallax on the big screen.

it be nice if Batfleck's movie can have the whole Bat family.

A video about a hypothetical DCU under the lead of James Gunn with confirmed upcoming shows/movies + stuff you’d like to see would be sick

It would be really cool to see this but with Marvel, or maybe a world where Marvel never regained all their characters. Also what about a Marvel arrowverse.

If the DCEU had a clear vision from the beginning. I think I would have liked if they did a lot of the “Pseudo Sequels” for movies rather than whole character trilogies like the MCU

The Anti-Life Saga is what I'd call it.

I really wish those movies did come out. They all sound cool to me.

This was a very different video and I was all for it...Especially since Warner Brother's loves announcing projects without fulling knowing if they actually want them to come out or not

I love these type of videos!! They are a great creative exercise. Would like to point out tho, you definetly could've used Will Beall's cancelled Justice League movie (which eventually turned into the Snydercut, sort of... And the story beats weren't that much different) instead of just retooling the Snydercut, although it does make sense as that would already create a different movie. And another one could've been the original "Man of Steel" titled movie, that being the Superman Returns sequel we (and he) never got to see, but also, the MoS2 plan of brainiac is another carry over from the Brandon Routh cancelled sequel, so it's just nitpicking at this point for the sake of variety lol. In conclusion, keep these coming!!

Since the arrowverse is ending, i would love to se a video about: who is the justice league in the arrowverse(counting all the still active heroes operating in earth prime that could be a part off it)

like the x-men mcu universe you did, you should do a defender mcu universe with the characters from the comics

I really love this page with these what if dceu videos

You should make an updated version of this video now that Wonder Woman 3 and other DC Movies and TV shows have been cancelled.

I wonder how many of these movies would have been made had more people given a chance to the DCEU in its early days. Still remember how hated Batman v. Superman was during its production, with many fandoms simply being all united in talking about how much the DCEU sucks.

You could have made the Nightwing solo movie & the Deathstroke prequel movie as psuedo sequels to Ben Affleck's Batman.

This vid was so interesting! I didn’t know about a good lot of these canceled projects.

Love all your vids!

If Snyder would of gotten his right at the captain's seat of the dceu, it could of been something amazing

Not only the cancelled movies but also the CW Arrowverse Tv shows are underrated. Shows like The Flash, Arrow, Superman and Lois, Black Lightning, League of Legends, Supergirl and Batgirl are gems of their own and I love their crossover sagas like Elseworld and Crisis.

You should also do this with canceled marvel films (there's a list with 33 of them) and you should turn pre-mcu movies into a cinematic universe

If it was an Andy Samberg plastic man movie that'd have been GOLD

Also The Jl movie would be written by Johns since certain scenes were written by him (considering the reaction to BVS, this is likely what we’d get in 2017) There’s also a cancelled SS movie featuring Supergirl as a tease so you could use that to introduce both her and Deadshot to the universe

damn u are really good, this video was awesome!

cinematic universe idea:what if marvel had sold the rights to some of their characters differently? (no xmen, iron man asgard captain america/hydra or any related heros or villains) here's my pitch phase 1 spider man(the villain would be doc ock who would be peters mentor like Obadiah stane and would include peters origin and the pepper counterpart would be gwen, not mj, giving us spider gwen and would also include harry and norman osborne and peter would be played by andrew garfield exept with organic web shooters) the incredible hulk would be the exact same movie as in real life exept it would include rick jones spider man 2(villain's would be roxxon and electro and harry would become the hobgoblin but would be good and our war machine counterpart and petes web shooters would be poisoning him leading him to create a new element to save himself with the help of nick fury and shield and janet van dynes wasp would be involved somehow) doctor strange(villain would be mordo, strange would become the master of the new york city sanctum and the ancient one would live for now. also hank pyms ant man would be involved somehow) black panther:the first avenger(you choose the plot) the avengers(villain would be mordo and the line up would be spider man,black panther,doctor strange(our big three)and hulk antman(hank) and wasp(janet) and rick jones would die like phil coulson phase 2 spider man 3(green goblin as villain and kill gwen setting up mj and maybe absorbing man sub plot) doctor strange the dark dimension with dormammu as villain) black panther the white wolf the fantastic 4 avengers age of ultron(new members being wonder man(who would die but come back for the endgame equivalent) tygra scott langs ant man(our falcon counterpart) and vision) hawkeye cuz i said phase three black panther/avengers civil war(you choose the plot) captain marvel nova(villain would be Diamondhead but he would be a little more powerful) fantastic 4 vol 2(introduce songbird and quasar) doctor strange the oath( villain could be mephisto and ancient one would die her and strage would make an oath to become the sorcerer supreme) iron fist(you choose the plot) avengers secret wars(based off of the old comics with the beyonder seeming to be the thanos equivalent but it would be a fakeout deaths would be vision mordo quasar and who ever else you want and would end with the destruction of the earth ) hawkeye and mockingbird silver surfer(villain would be galactus) avengers battleworld(big deaths would be wasp and doctor doom and maybe black panther and doom could fix the earth and introduce the symbiote) nova 2(villain would be Annihilus and would delve into the negative zone) phase 4(final phase or dark phase) spider man four(villain would be venom and vulture(venom would be JJJ's son) tease eddie brock) planet hulk(you choose the plot) black panther wakanda forever(basically the exact same movie we got in real life even riri stays as a deal would be made that allowed riri to join this version of the mcu similar to spider man in the original mcu) iron heart(villain would be modok and aim) hawkeye 3(introduce kate bishop) venom(eddie brock and venom bond and the villain is riot) avengers secret invasion(basic secret invasion story but with a few twists and venom is involved and carnage is born) avengers maximum carnage(carnage kills heroes and villains alike and at the end sets free knull and he covers the universe in darkness) avengers endgame( spider man dies after merging with the light and venom becomes the new god of the symbiotes) nova 3(he would face garthan saal and introduce starlord and adam warlock and gamora setting up the guardians of the galaxy and thanos) miles morales,spiderman(miles become the new spiderman and kate bishop is involved and villain is the lizard)

honestly they fucked up not making a Plastic Man movie in the late 90s/early 2000s with Jim Carey. its basically just him being Ace Ventura that can stretch

I would have loved to see a Nightwing movie

I think you could make an Amalgam Cinematic Universe video, based on Amalgam Comics, which combines Marvel and DC characters. There's definitely enough material there!

Nightwing could be a pseudosequel to Cyborg with they both forming the Titans

You need to do one based off the joke villains in comics with an MCU structure. Imagine Kite Man, the Wall, Paste Pot Pete, The Bad Samaritan, Polka Dot Man, and others in their own screwed up universe.

I remember Santiago Cabrera was going to play Aquaman - love the actor! Sad it didn't work out(

@Theblack lion for the next video can you do a batman universe in the style of the mcu or maybe instead a spider-man only focused UNIVERSE for marvel please.

So much potential

What An Ducktales Cinematic Universe Would Look Like in the MUC blueprint.

9 months later, Henry Cavill is officially gone... puts things in perspective in how flexible these projects were

Can you do an Arrowverse with Marvel characters?

And this is EXACTLY why I gave up on the DC extended universe as they just keep on canceling everything and now it's just all over the place

The DCEU really disappoints me. Looking that these videos make me wonder how good it could have been

The original version of the DCEU flash movie is completely different to what we are now getting.

What happened to you DC? You used to be awesome, you had potential. You had Brainiac, you had Batman vs Deathstroke on the way, and now we have Dwayne Johnson's ego trip. I'm sorry DC. WB deserves the shit that's happening to them. Thank you David Zasalv. 👏

Awesome video

It’s actually hilarious that there’s enough cancelled DC movies to make its own universe

I actually have an idea for my own version of this using (mostly) the pre-DCEU movies. Justice League Mortal would be the avengers equivalent, and it would end with Zack Snyder's Justice League 2 and 3.

The green lantern Corps series wasnt canceled

I would've loved to see the Black Manta movie introduce a version of Aqualad, who, like Kal'Dur in Young Justice, is the son of Black Manta but chooses good Edit: oop u said it XD Gotta say I'm disappointed Garth isn't really used in the comics or shows or movies at all really currently, hoping Tempest gets more love in The future, as well as Jackson/Kal

if this were a thing i'd love the nightwing movie to be a Nightwing vs Red Hood

So many reaches

Just fyi, the latest justice league dark comic has wonder woman as the leader (before DC cancelled that good series just like everything else). So your call to put wonder woman in justice league dark fits well.

The riddler was a member of the legion of doom when they debuted in super friends

seems like they’re going forward with Lobo now, potentially with Jason Momoa being double cast

the question I have: if they spent 90m on a movie and shooting almost all of it, why totally cancel it? wouldn't it be less of a loss if they just released it on streaming services? idk but anything seems better than literally flushing 90 million dollars down the toilet

They cancelled Green Lantern Corps? That's very dumb idea.

ngl at first i thought 'The Batman' was a ben affleck prequel and was in the DCEU

I want to see a hypothetical MCU Phase 3 and 4 slate if Feige and Marvel Studios remained under Perlmutter's rule.

I think that rather than comparing new gods to IW, it'd better fit comparing it to Thor Ragnarok, seeing as how they are both preludes to the main event

Brendan Fraser as Harvey bullock perfect casting

if you made this video now you could use wonder woman 3, post black adam man of steel 2, the flash 2, justice league crisis on infinite earths

6:25 did plastic man just flip me off?

I personally think that brainiac should be a Justice league villain

Brainiac in the second Superman movie? Idk bout that one chief, I'd save it for much later and have Luthor be heavy in the story

They should really just release Batgirl as it's own thing or something and insert Ben Affleck instead of Keaton who can be saved for a separate multiverse film down the line

Y’all should see film theory’s video on the dceu

I'm hearing all these cancelled movies and feel like we 100% didn't miss anything. A lot of these ideas sound not thought out at all. It seems like a lot of fans feel robbed by cancelations, but truly many of these didn't need a green light at all..

i sure hope the Deathstroke movie includes Terra

You gotta make a video on the canceled batman year one movie that Darren Aronofsky was gonna make

You should do the Knightmare Saga like the Infinity Saga

Could you do another dc cinematic universe but completely different with new ideas, stories, movies not based off of the mcu or any existing movies but maybe just slightly inspired by those things. What I mean is, would you do more movies or less movies, would you do shows throughout the first 3 phases, would you even do it in phases, what would be the big story at the end or would you just a bunch different stories and maybe build up another story but not everything necessarily leads to Darkseid or whatever the big bad at the end would be. How would you do the justice league, would you go with the original lineup or just do the holy trinity and add 4 different characters of your choosing. Would you give every superhero their own movie. What heroes would you use. How many would their be. Would you use more obscure characters and teams???

MCU with the early 2000s Marvel movies (Blade included)

Hmm yes lore of the DCEU momentum 100

Come on dc i feel y’all can pull this together

Could you do a continuation of your x men universe?

I would add the canceled black canary film thst was set to be a spinoff to birds of prey

I wonder if Robert Patterson would’ve played a good night wing. Maybe Zac Efron

When Superman 2 comes out 🫡

So many cool DC shows and movies canceled just so we could see WB fumble its way through the movie universe like a blind kid on a football field and pat themselves on the back like they're accomplishing something.

Que tal un video en donde las películas de marvel de 2000 son un universo cinematográfico haber como lo adaptarlas hasta 2022

I want to see a video where DC has to make a cinematic universe without their heavy hitters (like marvel) so they dont have access to Batman, Superman, Wonder Women, or Flash/Green lantern What would DCs cinematic universe look like then?

Am I crazy, or was a Blackhawk movie announced or rumored at one time?

Trinston was here. .

wow we could've had it all 😭

Wonder Woman 3 was the only Wonder Woman movie that was cancelled

We just learned Wonder Woman 3, a Batman Beyond movie with Michael Keaton, a different Man of Steel sequel, a Crisis on Infinite Earths movie, and possibly Black Adam 2 and the rest of the DCEU beyond 2023 are all cancelled so I think you need to already do an update to this video.

Man the canceled movie in the dceu better than the the actual dceu movies

batgirl is not a original member of the justice league so if wb will proceed with the original member cancelling batgirl is a good thing his too early to be in a live action movie

Nicholas cage in a fucking superman costumeeee

This all sounded good except for one thing. Personally I’d rather eat dog shit than watch a joker vs Harley movie.

So basically the DC extended universe was such a mess that they had to cancel so many in progress movies to save their reputation, especially when all of those details you stated could've make it a hit like the MCU, it kind of doesn't make sense and doesn't sound fair to me. The MCU had some of movies themselves, but they didn't cancel them and their reputation is still great, I just don't see much of a reason for the DCEU to cancel more movies than they released. Okay, maybe I'm saying a lot and I'm being a bit negative on their decisions, but I think you understand what I'm trying to say.

i kinda wanna see a wonder twins show …

I’m hoping now that James gunn has taken a kevin feige like role in the dceu it will get better

Maybe with James Gunn in charge now we could get Batgirl

I think a first Justice League movie should be about them meeting Martian Manhunter, like the show Then eventually make a Teen Titans movie, where instead of a Martian, the team we are watching meet a Tamaranian! AlluuuuUuuuusion! Also, I think Jaime Blue Beetle should be introduced first in a Teen Titans movie or DCEU-connected show (not Titans) Jaime isn't the first owner of the Beetle, we see it attach to him, we don't know what happened to the original Beetle, and then, a few years later, we get that Blue Beetle and Booster Gold movie or show, when they meet, Booster Gold brings him into the timey wimey that leads to their adventure, leaving behind a duplicate of Ted's Beetle for Jaime to find, thinking that the original Beetle died, when in reality he just went on a time hopping adventure, and in an eventual Justice League movie, maybe we see them meet for the first time, and they have to do some technobabble to explain how two exact replicas of the same living Beetle can coexist in the same timeline, and then they can be a trio, Booster Gold and the Beetles! Beetles and Booster! Lol or maybe there's a comic line that it would be better to follow

Wasn't there supposed to be a DCEU Green Arrow movie the show was finishing up and they wanted something probably something to do with the Rebirth reboot in the comics too?
