DC Comics Movies The Fans Want To See

     DC already has announced a slate of movies up until 2020, but what comes after that and what are the unannounced movies in 2018 and 2019?  So what do the fans want to see?

     Trinity War was an eleven issue comic story that was published in 2013.  It featured the Justice League, Justice League of America and the Justice League Dark in a giant clash to solve the mystery of Pandora's Box.  It would allow for more supernatural elements into the DC Extended Universe and would allow for the introduction of lesser known characters like The Question and Phantom Stranger.
     My personal pick would be Lobo, It would be DC's answer to the Deadpool movie from earlier this year.  His extremely violent personality and massive ego would make for an excellent movie.  You could have guest stars like Superman show up in the movie.  The plot could be similar to the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special fan film even where the Easter Bunny hires Lobo to kidnap Santa Claus, that would make for a killer anti-hero comedy!

     Suicide Squad is breaking records for the month of August this year and for good reasons too.  It features a team of villains forced to come together and do something good.  An all star cast led by Will Smith's Deadshot and Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn the movie is definitely making waves.  In the sequel Karen Fukuhara expressed interest in exploring Katana's backstory and director David Ayer had expressed interest in making the movie rated R.  I personally would like to see King Shark in the movie, Black Spider maybe and definitely more Captain Boomerang.
      Last but not least we have Batman, who hasn't had a solo movie since The Dark Knight Rises in 2012.  He appeared in the movie Dawn of Justice this year, but was a costar with Henry Cavill's Superman and also appeared in Suicide Squad but wasn't more than a cameo.  With Batman villains Harley Quinn, The Joker and Killer Croc appearing in Suicide Squad, there is a good possibility of Batman facing off against Jared Leto's Joker in a solo outing possibly based on an Under the Red Hood type storyline, that's all I've got for this post thanks for reading!

Joker/Batman Team Up

      Okay, so Jared Leto aka the current Joker recently did an interview with BBC Radio 5 to talk about Suicide Squad and said he wants Joker and Batman to team up....um what?  It might be a little confusing to most of us I would assume, I mean I was all confused when I read it on Comicbook.com earlier. Jared said "I know he's not a villain, but it would be so much fun."  Now if you ask me, in the ten to fifteen minutes Jared was in Suicide Squad, he wasn't that good.  Now I know DC Extended Universe fanboys will get all moody about that statement, but that's just me.  In my eyes, Heath Ledger still reigns supreme.  Jack Nicholson played a great gangster Joker, but Jared Leto just seemed like a awkward combination of Ledger and Nicholson and it didn't really work well for him. Jared is a great actor, I just don't like his Joker.

      Now back to the matter at hand, a Batman and Joker team up would be crazy!  Why would they team up?  What would stop Joker from betraying Batman in the end?  Could they even function together?  Personally, I don't want them to team up and I am sure a lot of people would agree with me, it just seems wrong.  Now could it work out for the DC Extended Universe movies...sure if the circumstances were right.  Maybe someone murders Harley Quinn, Joker and Batman team up to catch them, then Joker kills the person or people at the end.  For those who haven't seen Suicide Squad *SPOILER* the Joker really loves Harley, he doesn't just use her. *END OF SPOILER*   I don't know, this is all speculation.  It may never happen, just being Jared Leto's pipe dream, or it may be something that could happen in a future movie.

     With that I'll be signing off for now, look out for future posts, follow the blog whatever, thanks for looking and see ya next time.
