The new Ms. Marvel:

I would like a real for serious Deadpool movie. Not that trout they tried to pull in XMEN though.
An actual adaption of Rogue as depicted in the comics would be a start.
Wonder Woman, but it will never happen because the WB are being stupid about it.
Edit: haha, I for some reason thought this was just about the women. I second the Deadpool movie. The game was awesome, do something like that.
I'd like both myself. Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel and the new Ms. Marvel, though I haven't actually read anything with her yet.Quote:

Wonder Woman! :argh:
They're including her in the new Batman and Superman movie, and I think it's to test the waters and get a reaction for her onscreen character. I think we'll see her get her own film by 2016, though I am not pleased with the actress they chose for the role.Quote:

Last I heard she hasn't gotten her own movie, despite people saying they'd be interested in one, is because WB claims people don't want to see a Wonder Woman movie and gives us repeated Batman and Superman films instead. First I heard of her being included in the Batman/Superman movie.

Whether or not WB are being buttheads about it now, I think we'll see a film of her own. She's a top female superhero, if not the top female superhero, the likes of which not many movies are made about. The only one I can think for the top of my head really is Elektra, although I'm sure there are more. edit: oh and the travesty of catwoman and halle barry. They'll make one of Wonder Woman eventually.
Black Widow is too much of a side character to warrant her own film, I think, although the folks behind The Avengers movies might want to capitalize on that entire team and their own films.
I can't think of too many other prominent female superheroes who stand in the spotlight of their own achievements (because I am not overly familiar with the world of superheroes), but I would love a Zatanna Zatara film :love:

I dislike how ridiculously sexualized her appearance generally is, though. This is like the one photo I found where her breasts weren't coming out of her vest and her suit wasn't essentially turned into a thong over fishnets.
Really, if I was for some reason in charge of making a DC Cinema Universe ideally I would want to start off with a Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman movie since they're the trinity of DC comics. I'd want to do indiviual films of Aqua Man, Green Lantern and Flash too, though Flash could be tricky. Only one I wouldn't give his own film would be Martian Manhunter since he's more of an observer type character. He'd be better off used to tie all the movies together leading to the Justice League payoff.
I feel like I'm forgetting someone.
The first DC film starring a female superhero should obviously star Power Girl.
But who could "fill" that role?
Wonder Woman and She-Hulk. I wouldn't mind seeing a Black Widow film either although I know people have had wildly varying reactions to her character.
Among male superheroes, I agree Deadpool would be a pretty good choice.
You'll be disappointed then. Word has it that Wonder Woman and some others are getting cameos in Superman/Batman because they're planning a Justice League movie next. Couldn't be more annoyed by that though. Not that I'm not curious about a Justice League movie, I just don't like the fact that WB apparently has no faith in any hero being able to carry a movie aside from Batman and Superman. There are so many interesting and deserving heroes in the DC stable but they're afraid to use them.Quote:

This is why I like the people behind the Marvel movies, they were willing to take a chance on Iron Man, Hulk after a failed first time, Thor and Captain America instead of just being like, "Oh, well, the only movies that will sell are Spider-Man and X-Men, lol!"
The Hulk failed twice.
Besides the point.
The Hulk never failed. -sternface-
Deadpool the game was quintessential Deadpool of the comics. Doing a movie like that would be fantastic! I wouldn't even mind keeping Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson. He did a pretty good Merc with a Mouth impression before getting all weapon x'd
They did a Green Lantern movie. It was bad.Quote:

It was bad because they didn't have the movie be in space with the Lateran Corps like they should have, Ryan was a questionable choice for the lead role and they had a rookie Lantern go up against a villain who shouldn't have been introduced so early.Quote:

It was awful because it was Hal Jordan and not John Stewart.
Plus Ryan Reynolds being cast as Hal Jordan makes no sense. Especially when he'd be one of the best picks for Wally West.
I was thinking that too. Wonder Woman is my 2nd favorite superhero and it still frustrates me that they don't have a movie for her yet. This Gal Gadot looks like a bad choice. I looked her up and it looks like her acting ability sums up to being the eye candy. I don't know what they were thinking. Hopefully she'll gain some weight and surprise us although I don't think WW should even be showing up in the Man of Steel sequel.
I'd also like films for Black Panther, Static, and Batman Beyond. I'd like to see The Question show up eventually as well, probably in Justice League 2.

TINY DEADPOOL AND BOB THE MOVIE.
Huge smurfing nerd incoming, dodgeroll everyone. DODGE!
First, I totally second Zatanna.
I'd love to see a Wonder Woman movie as well. Her New 52 comic series is one of their better efforts. Her DC original animated film was so good it should have been the live-action film. I know straight-to-dvd screams cheap, but DC's animated movies are nothing to scoff at. Even though it was good, her movie still only made back its budget, nothing more. There hasn't been a follow-up movie because it wasn't profitable compared to their myriad of Superman, Batman, or Justice League movies. Hell, even the Lanterns got more than one.
The sad part about her is that, despite being recognizable and called part of the trinity, she doesn't sell well and never has. She sits solidly in the middle with the likes of Swamp Thing, far behind other DC heroes. The New 52 launch gave her some initial interest before falling right back into her old place again. Her sales look like this:

So she has ~40,000-50,000 actual comic book fans to her name. This is Batgirl level.
I think Wonder Woman has two major problems. The first is that writers can never decide what to do with her. Sometimes she's a barbarian murdering everyone, sometimes she is an ambassador of love and peace. Sometimes they want her to be relatable, other times she is inspirational. The character in the Justice League and her own comic books can be two different people. Much like Superman, how good she is depends entirely on how she is handled. She can honestly be very boring if done wrong.
Her second problem is that she lacks a showstopping villain. My mom knows nothing about comics and doesn't want to, but she could name The Joker and Lex Luthor as comic book villains, because who couldn't. Wonder Woman's primary villains are figures of Greek mythology. While I personally find that cool and believe it separates her from the usual, it does leave the likes of Ares and Circe to be her big problems, and they must be harder to stick or something. They were reworked to be quite imaginative in her relaunch in my opinion, but everyone just wants a crazy clown forever, I guess. Not to knock The Joker or anything, I love him a lot actually. Just...If I can get the new Hades on screen as a villain for her someday I'd die of happiness.
Of course, that would be easily remedied with a good movie. If it's good, people will go. Once upon a time, Thor looked like movie studios were out of ideas for superheroes. Now he's a household name instead of a nerd name. She doesn't have the same amount of exposure as Superman or Batman through media beyond comic books. She's pretty trapped that way, I think. People recognize her without knowing anything about her because she doesn't sell well and she doesn't sell well because nobody knows anything about her.
Introducing her as part of a team first is probably the best way to go. Hopefully she gets a good movie following that. I don't want another crappy script with crappy direction like Elektra and Catwoman. Then the studios blame the female protagonist instead of the movie's flaws as the cause for their box office bomb.
Now that's out of the way, the Young Avengers comic book is the most underrated thing ever, and my wish world would see them on the big screen. I know how it sounds, the Teen Titans of the Marvel world or something, but it's really very excellent in art and writing. Obviously this is incredibly unlikely. It took this long to get Scarlet Witch to appear in a movie thanks to the upcoming Avengers sequel. Her homosexual magical son in a sparkly star suit isn't coming to theaters any day soon.
So on to something more realistic, Dr. Strange, which they are actually doing! Yay!
Captain Marvel, or Shazam these days, would also be super cute. He got an animated short once called Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam that showed off his interesting features really well. He's not just Superman with a bolt of lightning on his chest.
Now, for the Martians-...
Alright I better just stfu already
I agree. I love the animated movies and think it's some of their best work.
Nah, nerd rant some more. I love to talk about comic stuff. I only own a few comics, but I'm still interested in it. The plethora of DC's animated movies has been better than all the superhero movies recently. I never knew that the Wonder Woman film barely made back its budget. That does explain why we never saw a sequel. Also thanks for recommending her new 52 comic. I saw it in the store the other day, but was weary of it because the general consensus around the net is that the new 52 sucks.Quote:

A grown-up movie about Lobo.
I think Green Arrow would make a good film but the Arrow series on the CW is already pretty good.
Maybe a new TMNT movie? :dona:
They're making one already, slowpoke. With an intensely disappointing cast, but what else can you expect from Michael Bay?
Which one? Green Arrow or TMNT? :mich:
TMNT. They're aliens.
People need to stop giving Michael Bay work.
I've been kinda grunting and moaning that Gambit never got stuck into the X-Men movies, so I'd still like to see that. the weak nod to fans in Wolverine Origins worked just about as good as it did for Deadpool fans.
I found it ironic that Gambit ended up in that movie because I kept hearing the reason why he was never included in X-Men was because they thought he was too similar to Wolverine (which is stupid) or that they were afraid he'd steal the spotlight away from Wolverine. If you're afraid he'd steal the spotlight from Wolverine why are you including him in the Wolverine spinoff?
