How I would make the DCEU.

Now we all love DC from its comics, animated shows, animated movies, live action shows (Except for a few shows on CW.) and movies (Except for a few for a few films.)

(Google Image)

Now DCEU is getting back on track thanks to the successes of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam, Birds of Prey, and Joker. I'm very excited for more upcoming films like The Batman, Wonder Woman 84, Aquaman 2, (So long as Amber Heard is gone.) Shazam 2, The Suicide Squad, and The Flash (Hopefully Ezra Miller is out.) Still I know DC had a rough start because they were trying to catch up with Marvel and in truth they should have just taken their time with it and develop it more, plan it out, working out ideas, and do a proper a set up for Justice League. I do love that DCEU is building more of Multiverse Cinematic Universe as well they are planning to recon the universe with the upcoming Flash Film.

Now if I were to set up a DC Cinematic Universe heres how I would set it up and also her are my favourite DC films.

 These are the six films that I really do like and I hope is kept canon because these are good films. Joker is not part of the cinematic universe its in its own universe I think DC should expand on stand alone villain origin films were its own universe depending on the who the villain is or a stand alone film like Batman Beyond or Earth 2 film series. I feel like WB and DC are trying to set up a multiverse cinematic universe that don't come into play with the main stream.

Also its been said that Matt Reeves Batman film will be a stand alone in its own universe film which I'm cool with. A Batman Cinematic Universe can work because there is a huge amount of characters in Batman's world. Also If I had to pick a head producer for all these films it would be Bruce Timm.

Now without further due here is how I would start the DCEU.

Phase One

Heres my Phase 1 of the DCEU.

First I would start the film franchise with a Superman film. This film would be called Superman Man of Steel. Now I do like Man of Steel despite its issues like letting Pa Kent die in that tornado really brother me. I think making Superman is the best way to start the DCEU.

Now the Superman film would not re tell his origin because we all know it. Clark Kent is already Superman and this basically Superman year two for him. Superman would be facing off against Brainiac and this film would be about him trying manage his life as Clark Kent as well his feelings towards Lois. As well the film would adapt Superman: Brainiac and New 52 Origin. Pa and Ma Kent will be dead but we will see how they died and how their deaths impact on Clark because they were first people he couldn't save.

Supporting Cast is Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, Lucy Lane, Ron Troupe, Dan Turpin, Maggie Sawyer, Cat Grant, and Steve Lombard.

Villains Brainiac. In the film Brainiac wishes to take the city of Metropolis as another collection to his cites. Superman also learns that Brainiac is responsible for Krypton's destruction and has a city from Krypton on his ship too. Lex Luthor wouldn't be the villain of the film but he would be the bad guy in the next film. Lex simply hates Superman and views him as a threat to mankind. In the next film's Lex's goal is to prove that Superman is a threat to the world.

The film would be an action, sci fi, adventure, drama, comedy, romance film.

The film would mention other cities like Gotham, West City, and Coast City.

In the end of the film Clark revels he's Superman to Lois and she had a hutch he was Superman. Clark and Lois begin a relationship.  Lois tells Clark there are other heroes out there and one day Superman might need their help because he can't stop it alone. Superman considers that idea and this would set up Justice League.


The mid credit scene is Lex Luthor working on a project code name Bizarro and Lex has a full set of Kryptonite and he places three pieces of kryptonite inside a glove and we get a close shot Lex smiling showing the kryptonite in the glove as he makes his hand into a fist.

The Cast
Henry Cavil as Clark Kent/Superman
Emmy Rossum as Lois Lane
Michael C Hall as Lex Luthor
Michael Fassbender as Brainiac
Calum Worthy as Jimmy Olsen
Nicole Peltz as Lucy Lan
Brandon Michael Hall as Ron Troupe
Greg Kinnear as Perry White
Keli Goss as Cat Grant
Moe Dunford as Steve Lombard
Jamie Chung as Mercy
Nick Offerman as Detective Dan Turnpin
Kate McKinnon as Detective Margaret Sawyer
Matthew McConaughey as John Kent
Julie Bowen as Maratha Kent
Dylan Sprayberry as a Young Clark Kent

The next film would be a sequel to Superman Man of Steel and it would be called
Superman World's Finest.

Yes, Batman would be in the next Superman film but it wouldn't be like BVS its not a VS film its a team up film that will build up Justice League.

After the events of the first film Superman is struggling to gain the people's trust after Brainiac destroy most of Metropolis. While that is happening Lex is trying to convince the people of Metropolis that Superman is a threat and that he needs to go. Lois Lane's dad General Sam Lane agrees with Lex and wants to get rid of him. However, Lois, Jimmy, Ron, and many others try to defend Superman. Now in the film eventually Bruce Wayne comes to Metropolis for a business meeting with Lex Luther and he knows about Superman but he doesn't think Superman is a threat. The two eventually meet at first they don't get along at one point Batman starts to think Superman is out of control and a threat to humanity. At one point Batman and Superman do fight but it turns out that the Superman causing mayhem was actually Bizarro a clone of Superman from Lex Luthor. Lois Lane is the one who finds the truth about this fake Superman. Superman and Batman then team up to stop Lex Luther.

Superman and Batman have a lot in common because they both lost their parents and they form a brotherly bond with each other. However, they both have different views on things like Superman believes people are born good they are taught to be evil, while Batman believes the opposite that people are born bad they need to be taught to be good.

This film would adapt Superman/Batman Public Enemies, World's Finest, Bizarro origin, and a Lex Luthor story arc.

The film would have Bizarro as a second villain posing as a fake Superman causing mayhem and Superman has to stop him and prove he's a fake. However, Bizarro actions make Batman believe tht's Superman until much later he learns that was a fake. Bizarro has the mind of a child he doesn't know what he's doing is wrong. Bizarro wouldn't get killed in the end instead Superman takes him to a planet for him to protect and he gives him a pet alien dog that he names Ripto. 

Lex Luthor would fight Superman and Batman in an iron suit.

Batman's plays a supporting role and Batman's been fighting crime for awhile he would be around the same age as Clark or little older. The Bat Family would be already established like Nightwing, Batgirl, and Red Robin would make small cameos and keep Gotham safe for Bruce while he's gone. Alfred would be in the film too as a supporting role. There would be mention of Jason Todd's death by the hands of the Joker and how it haunts Batman. When Superman hears about Jason Todd's death he knows what Batman going through because it happen to him too. He tells Batman about his parents's death how even with all his powers he couldn't save his parents from this car accident. Superman and Batman realize they do have a lot in common almost like brothers.

Batman and Superman fight but it doesn't end with Martha! Why do you say that name!!! none of that. It's more like Lois shows Batman proof that it was Bizzaro who was causing all that mayhem and Superman and Batman both team up and let it go for they need to stop Lex Luthor once and for all.

The film would end with Superman and Batman becoming friends and the two of them get the idea that team needs to be formed to face greater threats they can't defeat alone. Also Clark and Lois contiune their relationship and Sam Lane has a change of heart about Superman but will still keep a watch on him.

The film has two mid credit scenes one would reveal Brainiac is still alive and plotting revenge on Superman. He starts creating a new robot army and new versions of himself.

The other one has Superman speaking to General Jon Jones who reveals that is helping Bruce Wayne build a secret tower. Superman asks "Where is this tower?" Jon looks up at the sky as does Superman and he says "Fly up there and see for yourself." Superman flies into space and sees the Watch Tower being built in outer-space. 

The Cast
Henry Cavil as Clark Kent/Superman
Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman
Emmy Rossum as Lois Lane
Michael C Hall as Lex Luthor
Calum Worthy as Jimmy Olsen
Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth
Kevin Bacon as General Sam Lane
Idris Elba as General Jon Jones
Nicole Peltz as Lucy Lan
Brandon Michael Hall as Ron Troupe
Greg Kinnear as Perry White
Keli Goss as Cat Grant
Moe Dunford as Steve Lombard
Jamie Chung as Mercy
Nick Offerman as Detective Dan Turnpin
Kate McKinnon as Detective Margaret Sawyer
Dylan O'Brien as Dick Grayson/Nightwing Cameo
Elanor Tomlinson as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl Cameo
Charlie Rowe as Tim Drake/Red Robin Cameo

Now for record, I know some of you might say this kind of similar to Zack Synder's films but it's not. Like my Superman film is not an origin story, Superman is already established, The film is more light hearted and fun, the second Superman film does have Batman but only Batman, Superman and Batman do fight but it won't last long. Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern are the only characters don't get an origin story because we all know their origins.

Wonder Woman would be the next film.

Now to be honest I love what Patty Jenkins did with Wonder Woman so I would still keep the film she made. For she did a great job and the cast of that film were great so that would stay the same but I would add these two end credit scenes ending were Wonder Woman is having a dinner date with Bruce Wayne. The two of them talk and Bruce tells her of a team they are putting together and they could use someone like her. All she says is she will think about it. The other end credit scene would be would be the set up A.R.G.U.S.

The next film is The Flash 

The Flash film would be an origin story taking inspiration from Flash Year One and New 52 Flash.


The supporting cast would be Iris West, Wally West, Jay Garrick, Daryl Frye, Harry Allen, James Forret, David Singh, Patty Spvoit, Rebecca, Kristen Krammer, Joan Garrick, Rudy West, and Mary West.

The Villain of the film would be Negative Flash aka Daniel West. In the comics he's the third Reverse Flash but I'm changing his super villain name to Negative Flash instead.

The film would have Barry being trained by Jay who was the original Flash before he retired. Barry takes up the mantle of the Flash and sees Barry as a son figure because him and wife had a son named Johnny who died in a car accident. The Justice Society of America do exist in the DCEU they are started around 1970s but broke up around the 90s. (In this version its 70s not 40s because everyone would be long dead realistically.)

The Speed Force would be included and the film would tease the Rogues and Reverse Flash.

The film would be a comedy, sci fi, action film.

The film would end with Wally gaining Speed Force powers and now Barry needs to train him. This sets up Kid Flash for the next film.

There are two mid credits scenes one sets up the Rogues and Gorilla Grodd as the next Flash villains.
Flash meets Superman challenges him to a race. Just as the two are about to race Superman says to Flash if he wins will he consider Superman's offer about joining the team. They race and we never know who wins its left up to the audience to decide.

The Cast
Garret Hedlund as Barry Allen/The Flash
Deborah Ann Woll as Iris West
Cameron Mouaghan as Wally West
Caleb Landy Jones as Daniel West/Negative Flash
Tom Hanks as Jay Garrick/The Original Flash
Nicholas Cage as Darly Fye
Carly Elwes as Harry Allen
Karen Wheeler as Nora Allen Flashback
Lil Rel Howery as James Forret
Gael Garcia Bernal as David Singh
Addison Timlin as Patty Spvoit
Toks Olagundoye as Rebecca
Annalise Basso as Kristen Krammer
Annie Potts as Joan Garrick
Lana Condor as Linda Park
Dash Mihok as Rudy West
Mary Elizabeth Ellis as Mary West
Ethan William Childress as Wallace West Daniel's son.

Next film would be The Batman: Dark City

The Batman film is more stand alone although it would have small tease of the Watchtower that Bruce is building. Now this film would not be an origin story like World's Finest he's already established as Batman and the Bat Family is exists too. This film would be adapted from Zero Year and Dark Knight, Dark City.

It would be a dark drama, crime, thriller, action film.

The Supporting Cast would be Alfred, Lucius Fox, Tim Drake/Red Robin, Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Jim Gordon, Harvey Bullock, and Renee Montoya.

The Main Villain of the film would be Riddler he would be a much darker character and more twisted. The secondary villains would be Penguin, Firefly and Solomon Grundy.

Batman's Rogues are already established in the film like Joker, Two Face, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, and the rest. They would make small cameos at Arkham. Catwoman would be in the film as a love interest who helps Bruce take down Riddler and Penguin too.

In the film Batman has Red Robin helping him fight the Riddler and Penguin. Nightwing and Batgirl are mention they are busy doing their own thing like Dick is Bludheaven and Barbara is busy with school. We would see Bruce and Tim bond as father and son. Bruce very protective of Tim and worries that he might get Tim killed as well he made a promise to Tim's Parents that he would look after him after they went into witness protection. Bruce worries for Tim also come from Jason's Death because he won't make that same mistake again.

Tim Drake's role in the film is that he's trying to prove to Bruce that he can take care of himself and he needs to know Tim can handle himself. Tim's also trying to be his own hero not just a sidekick. Tim has a lot of potential as he really smart, great computers, and unlike Jason he thinks before he acts. This film is basically like a Batman and Robin film but not that crappy film from 1997.

The film would also tease a Nightwing film, Batgirl film, and a Red Robin film which would actually be a Young Justice film.

There would be two end credit scenes one would teases Court of Owls. We have a scene were Jim Gordon and Harvey are at a crime scene and a police officer comes up to them and shows them something they found. They show it to Jim and Harvey and Jim tells them to get Batman here as soon as possible. We see it's a white mask a mask from the Court of Owls.

The second end credit scene shows Batman getting an update on the Watch Tower as he does Brainiac's robots appear and chase after him. It would end with Batman being chased by Brainiac's robots. That would set up Justice League.

The Cast
Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman
Olivia Wilde as Selina Kyle/Catwoman
Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth
Brad Pitt as Commissioner Jim Gordon
Dominic Gleeson as Edward Nigma/The Riddler
Courtney B. Vance as Lucius Fox
Charlie Rowe as Tim Drake/Red Robin
Andy Serkis as The Penguin
Rory McCann as Soloman Grundy
Remy Hill as Firefly
Rain Wilson as Harvey Bullock
Monica Raymund as Renee Montoya


The next film would be Green Lantern or as it would be called Green Lantern Corps. This would make fans forget about that god awful 2011 film.

Now this Green Lantern film would focus not just on Hal Jordan he would be the star of the film but  John Stewart will be in it too. The film would be a buddy cop film with Hal and John its basically Lethal Weapons meets Guardians of the Galaxy type film. Their mission is stop the Red Lanterns as well the Manhunters.

The Supporting Cast would be Carol Ferris, James Jordan, Katma Tui, Sinestro, Alan Scott, Kilowog, Arisia, Salaak, Tomar Tu, Bareer Wot, Iolande, Laira, Bleez, and the Guardians of Oa.

The Villains would be the Red Lanterns with Atrocitus as the main villain. The Manhunters would be secondary villains in the film.

Ninety percent of the film would be set in space.

The film would be SCI FI, Action, Adventure, Crime, Comedy film.

The film wouldn't be an origin story for Hal for he's already a Green Lantern but the film would be an origin story for John Stewart. Hal is already an established Green Lantern and he would be assign to train John and work with him.

Hal and John have their differences but they do respect each other a lot. In fact John becomes Green Lantern by helping Hal fighting off against a manhunter on earth this act makes John into a Green Lantern.

Hal's origin is already explained he was test pilot, he found Abin sur, and became a Green Lantern. Hal's been a member for two years now. 

Alan Scott would be in the film in this version he was the original Green Lantern of Earth until he retired and was a member of the Justice Society of America. Alan is now retired living a normal life, he was married until his wife's death and he has two children Todd and Jennifer. He came out to his children as gay after their mother passed away.

Sinestro would be a good guy in the first film but the film would set up him up to become a yellow lantern and the next villain.

Hal and Sinestro are best friends and Sinestro trained him to be a Green Lantern. Hal remembers his teachings and teaches them to John and later on Hal and John become good friends but John has a feeling Sinestro is not what he seems. There would be hints that Sinestro isn't what he seems and that maybe up to no good.

Atrocitus is the film main antagonist of the film he hates the Green Lantern Core and The Guardians for he blames them for the massacre of his home planet and the death of his family. This is because of a rogue manhunter that went crazy and killed everyone. Atrocitus first lead a terrorist group called the Five Inversions until he killed them all and use their blood for a ritual to crate new central power battery thus creating the Red Light of Rage. He crafted the first Red Lantern Ring and became the first Red Lantern. Atrocitus gathered followers to the Red Lanterns and now the Red Lanterns pose a huge threat to the galaxy and only Green Lanterns can stop them.

The ending would have Hal leave the Planet of Oa to head back to Earth as he gets a distress call from Carol who tells him that planet earth is under attack. He's informed by the Guardians of this threat and the guardians know of Brainiac and have fought him before. Hal would go to earth were he ends up in Gotham and he meets Batman when he's be chase by Brainiac's robots. John would remain on Oa but would join the Justice League in Justice League 2. Also John and Katma develop a romantic relationship.

The second ending would have Sinestro finding Parallax and becoming a Yellow Lantern thus the Sinestro Corps are born. As well the next film will have Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner.

Cast
Taylor Kitsch as Hal Jordan
Trevante Rhodes as John Stewart
Ashley Greene as Carol Ferris
Gerald Buttler as Atrocitus
Luke Evans as Sinestro
Thomas Jane as Alan Scout
Zoe Kravitz as Katma Tui
Brad Garrett as Kilowog
Harry Styles as Tomar Tu
Thomas Middleditch as Salaak
Amanda Seyfried as Arisia
Hank Azaria as Bareer Wot
Adelaide Kane as Iolande
Lotte Verbeek as Laira
Jamie Murray as Bleez
The Guardians of Oa are played Tony Shalhoub, Ian McDiarmid, Alfre Woodard, Penny Johson Jerald, Kelsey Grammer, Brandan Gleeson, Stephen Dillane, and Marina Sirtis.

The Next film would be Aquaman.

Now I liked what James Wann did with Aquaman and I really like Jason Momoa as Aquaman so I would keep everything the same like Wonder Woman. Except I would recast that bitch Amber Heard and replace her with someone better like Rose Leslie or Emilia Clarke. However, I would have this one end credit scene were Aquaman gets a call from his dad and tells him that the surface world is under attack and so he leaves Atlantis and goes to fight this new threat.

The Cast would be the same but instead I would cast Rose Leslie as Mera.

The next film is Justice League.

Now the film's main roaster as you can see is based on New 52 roaster and the film would be an adaption of New 52 Justice League with elements of Justice League the animated series, the Rebirth series, and including source martial from the old Justice League comics.

The film's main characters are the original seven in the picture and this film would also be the debut of Cyborg. Cyborg would be the heart of the film because it would also be an origin story for the character.

The supporting cast would be Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Alfred, Iris West, Steve Trevor (This Steve Trevor is a descended of Steve Trevor from the first film) Perry White, Mera, Silas Stone, Carol Fieneses, and General Jon Jones. Most of these characters role are cameo except for Lois, Steve and Alfred.

The villain of the film would be Brainiac instead of Darksied because I want to build him up as the big threat. He would make a small cameo and would be reference in the film.

We would see each hero interact with each other and how they feel about each other. Like Batman and Green Lantern are the first ones to meet and the two don't get along like they can't stand each other at first but in time they do grow to respect each other.

Batman and Superman already know each other and they were putting together this team.
Wonder Woman agrees to join the team after she and Superman fight off against Brainiac's robots. She goes with Superman to meet Batman whom she's already met too. She meets Green Lantern and Flash too.

Flash and Green Lantern have known each other for a long time and are actually best buds outside their superhero alter egos.

Aquaman would show up in the middle of the film and he would have a bad ass entrance. He joins the team and they fight Brainiac.

Victor Stone becomes Cyborg around the beginning of the film and he would later join the team. Even though he doesn't like what he is now he feels like am monster but Flash gives him confidence and encourages him to get out there and save the world. So Cyborg joins the others and they stop Brainiac once for all.

We see them work as a team they struggle at first but Batman tells Superman to get everyone together and he needs to be a leader to them. Superman does this and everyone fights side by side against Brainiac. Batman reveals his identity to Hal Jordan at one point just like the comics.

The film would end with the team being formed at one point Flash suggests the name the Super Seven which everyone cringes at until Superman comes with the name Justice League. To which they all agree and it works better. They all meet at the Watch Tower that was built by Batman, Superman, and General Jon Jones. They make it their official headquarters. When they're in the Watch Tower General Jon Jones appears he then reveals his true self that he is in fact a martian from Mars and the last of his kind. His real name J'onn J'onzz aka Martian Manhunter. J'onzz joins the team and becomes their ambassador to the team with Superman named field team leader and Wonder Woman as second in command. 

The film would have two end credits scenes one has Lex Luthor watching the news about The Justice League. Lex's office door opens and the Joker comes through telling a joke to Lex that Lex doesn't find funny. Lex and Joker go into a room and these holograms appear of Black Manta, Cheetah, Deathstroke, Sinestro, and Gorilla Grodd. Lex then tells him it's time for the Legion to rise.
The Legion of Doom would be the villains in the next film.

The second end credit shows Batman in the Bat cave with Alfred, Alfred tells him he doesn't like what Bruce is doing since he's now member of the Justice League and it just seems wrong to Alfred. Bruce however tells him he doesn't like it either but there could be chance that one of the members could go rouge and he has to be ready for it. Bruce places a piece of kryptonite in a suitcase and we see all the league members weaknesses and recordings on how to defeat them. 

The Cast is same from the other films but heres my casting for the new characters in the film.
John Boyega as Victor Stone/Cyborg
Jared Leto as Joker
Yahya Abdul Mateen as Black Manata
Kristen Wiig as Cheetah
Joe Manganiello as Slade Wilson/Deathstroke
Luke Evans as Siniestro
Keith David as Gorilla Crodd
Andre Barugher as Silas Stone

Todd Philips Joker film would still happen and it would be the start of stand alone DC films in Elseworld universes. I would call these stand alone films DC Elseworld Productions or DC Label Black Films for R rated films. Joker would be the start of stand alone DC villain origin films and I would make Elseworld films like Batman Beyond, Earth 2, Superman Red Son, and many more elseworld films. Basically I would build DC Multiverse Cinematic Universe that includes the CW shows and HBO Max shows.

So that's how I would start the DCEU, for record this is all just for fun and I like where DC is going right now. I'm very excited for more of their films but I still think if they had taken their time and not rush to catch up with Marvel they would have had something beautiful. Still live and learn. I can't wait to see The Batman, Shazam 2, Wonder Woman 84, The Suicide Squad Reboot, and many more.
Let me know what you think leave a comment. PHASE 2 is coming and don't worry Shazam will stay the same.
