I'm seriously hoping James Gunn can turn the DCU into something valuable and long lasting. I love DC heroes and I really wanna see them in a new and positive light than what we got before but I have hope and I'm glad you are going over these things too. Definitely deserve a sub.
Me too. Im willing to give Gunn a chance but if WB and fails. I am done with DC live action films period and stivk to the Timmverse/DCAU instead. And id advise WB to go back to DC stand alone DC franchises.
Dude just look at what he did to the guardians of the galaxy who basically nobody gave a shit about including me when it was announced I was like aw man what is this bullshit but turned out to be some of the greatest movies from the mcu he also transformed the suicide squad into something great like 5 years after David Ayers first suicide squads “movie “ more like a compilation
I personally think Brainiac should be the big bad for the DCU. He's powerful enough to trouble the justice league and he's different from darkseid who was used by the previous regime and different from Thanos. If there was to be a justice league trilogy, the first movie would probably have white martians and then justice league 2 and justice league 3 would probably have brainiac. Save darkseid for a "new gods saga" and fulfil Kirby's dream of having him fight Orion. That's just my pitch.
I think another big bad villian that could be established in the future is Trigon. I would love to see him being a big threat in the DCU, He was done very poorly in Titans so I hope one day he’ll be done properly in the DCU. He wouldn’t be in the chapter 1 phase but maybe in the future chapters he could appear.
I would save him for a Justjce League Dark, which IMO will be a big differentiator for DC. Imagine Constantine, Deadman, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, Etrigan the Demon, Dr. Fate and Raven taking on Trigon.
Trigon is better in the 2003 Teen Titans Animated Series and Trigon is better as a Teen Titans villain not a stupid Justice League villain that's like saying Dormammu for an Avengers movie when he is a Doctor Strange villain.
Like Young Justice Animated Series we'll see Barry Allen, Wally West, Jay Garrick and Impulse just like Aquaman needs to be more comic-book accurate that he had 2 Atlantean Parents who discarded him cause he had blonde hair/the Kurse of Kordax and Shazam needs to be more faithful to the Original comics as well that he lives in Fawcett City, we see his Best Friend Freddy Freeman, his Twin Sister Mary, The Wizard being White, Black Adam being an Egyptian and looking more comic-book accurate and Doctor Sivana being a short/bald mad scientist.
I'd love to see a scene in Legacy a small flashback of a 4-6-year-old Clark laying on the floor watching tv with Jonathan reading a newspaper. A newscast comes on showing something to the effects of 'Thing from outer space appears! Soon after in an update Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardener fighting the invasion repelling the aliens. Clark's eyes shine with wonder as Jonathan puts a hand on Clark's tiny shoulder smiling. This imprints on Clark/Kal-El to where once he learned of his Kryptonian heritage. the Guy Gardner newscast and the Kent's teachings inform a lot of Clark's motives and the way he operates.
I could see Gunn giving us a Vandal Savage type Villain in Chapter 1 because of how he operates. I think starting with Savage is a good start imo. 🤷🏾♂️💁🏾♂️
@@matt-tf2ob hey dude, it was just a suggestion/opinion. Why do I have to be stupid for sharing it? Like if it’s not Savage that’s cool too. 🤷🏾♂️Also, he has interacted with the JL before so it’s not unprecedented. He was literally the main antagonist of Justice League: Doom. 🤦🏾♂️ AND comic book movies have often shuffled villains to fit a narrative.
The idea of a sentient island that spawns dinosaurs of all things sounds really cool and unique to me. Much better than an all powerful villain hellbent on destroying the universe.
DC has SO MANY wonderful characters that could be villains worthy of the Justice League... to waste an entire movie or chapter or TWO on something like the Center saddens me. That's not a character. It's a nothing.
Savage is my favorite idea. I think that people like mongul and Brainiac would be single use villains more like an Ultron than a Thanos. I would like to see these other characters, but i would love to see Savage as the main villian
My top 3 choices personally for big bads in the DCU is 1. Brainiac 2. The Centre 3. Legion of Doom, Lex Luthor, Deathstroke, Cheetah, Reverse Flash, Black Manta, and Sinestro. Honorable Mention: The Crime Syndicate from Earth 3. Like Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, etc. I know multiverse stuff is overused now. But the Justice League seeing dark villainous versions of themselves from a different universe could make each member think about how differently they could have turned out if things were different. And how not to turn into what the Crime Syndicate is.
I don’t think he’s teaming up. I think the heroes in Legacy will be trying to tell Superman to solve an issue one way, possibly to work with the government that he may not trust. When he said it’s riff off of the DCAU, the Cadmus arc was the first thing I thought of
That Cadmus arc would be AMAZING in live action! I know it wouldn't be wise to follow it verbatim, but damn that would be sick in live action! I would especially like to see the strange romance with the Huntress and ?, and of course Capt. Atom being called to duty by the US Military. So glad James Gunn now holds the reins, can't wait for it!
26:11 I've been writing my own story pitches for my own take on the Green Lantern film franchise, and one of my ideas is to rework the character of William Hand as a sympathetic villain who is destined to be the catalyst of the Blackest Night and become the doorway for the return of Nekron. I think William can be written as a three-dimensional villain destined to end everything ever created. However, in my pitch, he is just a 20-year-old kid who knows nothing about the Blackest Night and is Kyle Rayner's best friend. The two are art college roommates and rely on each other. However, William suffers from severe mental problems and a deep psychosis, hearing the voices and screams of the dead and the voice of Nekron torturing him ever since birth and causing suicidal urges in him. No one else believes him, not even his family, treating him with cold tone and judgment as they see Willaim as the black sheep of the Hand Family, as they disapprove of him studying art as a career and just think he's mentally challenged; however, my take on Kyle is that he still cares about William and treats him like a natural person, and the two would be inseparable like brothers, thus creating a world-ending moral dilemma whether or not he can save Willaim from destiny and other Lanterns trying to kill him to stop the Blackest Night, which I feel like would make a powerful story. Nekron, in my pitch, would be a built long-term villain set in my saga that is the literal embodiment of nothingness, pitch black, the void that existed before creation, and in my pitch, he would play into Willaim's fear and insecurities throughout his entire life ever since he was born and whisper in his ear and torture his mind about ending everything and starting the Black Night. My take on the Blackest Night storyline would be a 2 part conclusion to my 6 film saga, similar to how Avengers Infinity War and Endgame close off the Infinity Saga of the MCU. I would love the DCU to do something like this with Nekron and the Blackest Night, closing off a Green Lantern film saga in the DCU. I have written down pitches and story drafts for other films in this series with my own ideas, inspirations and castings in mind.
@@SavageTigerMC Many thanks. I do hope to someday make videos pitching my ideas on TH-cam, though currently, I have many responsibilities and don't have the time or equipment just yet to do it, but I do hope to someday. I actually don't really have an interest in going into film as I am currently studying History and Politics. But then again who knows, maybe someday it could happen later on in my life
Estuve pensando que podrían hacer algo diferente en el dcu y tener a varios grandes villanos en este universo podrían usar vandal savage como un villano terrenal y brainiac para los temas cósmicos
justamente es mi pensamiento. Incluso cada historia principal puede tener a su villano, conectando todo para un final concreto. Personalmente yo quiero ver a todos estos villanos, y considerando que Gunn hará un montón de proyectos, no descarto la idea de que los veamos a todos en algún punto (de aquí a 10 años, si es que más).
I really want james gunn to succeed with this. Im hoping and praying that this new world he creates will be fantastic. So far in my opinion with the casting of superman legacy it seems like this movie might be pretty good.🤞🏻
Perry White is suppose to be White, just like nobody cares about the Kingdom Come Logo when fans want to see the Better S Logo so James Gunn is a garbage lowlife and doesn't know anything about Marvel or DC characters.
I would love to see Circe be a big threat to the League. Maybe she forms a Legion of Doom type of team from the villains introduced in all of the different movies and TV shows
@michaelkaggwa4915 yeah that's why I mentioned her. I think it'd be a refreshing take to have a female villain last longer than a single project. Especially since they're usually more interesting and have deeper impacts on audiences
Read comics if you don't know anything its better to show Circe with the Injustice League for the 2nd Justice League movie that consists of Lex Luthor, Joker, Circe, Mirror Master, Carol Ferris/Star Sapphire, Ocean Master and Doctor Light just like Legion of Doom with more Villains is better for Justice League 8 movie in which the Justice League, Batman's Outsiders, Teen Titans and The Metal Men all work together.
I’d much rather they didn’t go with an alien invader to “unite” the heroes for a big genetic battle… I think it’d be much cooler - if they set up a civil war - heroes and villains belonging to different factions all trying to out manoeuvre the other. Game of Thrones but with superheroes - would go hard. Have the “Iron Throne” be the JL watchtower and everyone is vying for it for complete galactic control and surveillance.
I grew up only reading Marvel. But when Frank Miller came out with his Dark Knight stuff, I was totally into it. I was 15 in 1984 for Superman and loved it. Anyway, I'd be thrilled if DC came into its own and ruled for a while. Go James Gunn, go.
The Anti-Monitor should be saved for when/if they do a Multiverse arc right, in maybe chapters 3 or 4. It should be with not only a fully established DCU with a long history, but also bring in or acknowledge all previous cinematic and TV incarnations of DC. Darkseid should be chapter 2 or 3, just to have some distance from both the DCEU and DCAMU, but he should be foreshadowed and built up to from the start like Young Justice and the DCAU. The Centre from New Frontier, Vandal Savage and Brainiac are probably the best options for the big bad of chapters 1-2. The Centre isn't really a character on its own and Brainiac is more of a Superman villain and an extraterrestrial one so Savage manipulating Lex, the Centre and all the supervillains of the world (the Secret Society and/or the Legion of Doom) like JL Doom and YJ it is. Brainiac and Savage could foreshadow either the Anti-Monitor and/or Darkseid's existence too, the former collecting cities from worlds fated to die from them and Savage preparing Earth's heroes for them. Like Ozymandias in Watchmen, he can be the reason for both the Centre being unleashed and the heroes uniting to fight them. His long history on Earth (and history with Alan Scott's GL) also makes it so he can be in a JSA movie as well. Magog is actually connected to Gog, one of the old gods of the Second World, Urgund, which split into two and became the Fourth World (New Genesis and Apokolips) with the Third World gods being born in between from the godwave (and the First World being the Source/Presence, the One True God Himself). Both Gog and Magog in fact come from the Bible as false gods. They could foreshadow Darkseid (the ultimate false god like in Final Crisis) but also follow him too. Either way even in Kingdom Come neither of them are the true big bads. Right now in Mark Waid and Dan Mora's World's Finest, Gog is manipulating Magog in the past of KC so he can wage war on Apokolips. Edit: Nekron would be awesome for a Blackest Night film and Mongul for a Warworld Saga series or film would be the dream. But they should be saved for way later down the line and focused on GL and Superman respectively. Nekron himself is a personification of Death and wants to destroy all life through killing the Life Entity, the light of Life born when the Presence spoke it into existence while Warworld is connected to Olgrun, another old god. Speaking of, I'd rather have the Great Darkness, Pariah, Mandrakk or the Empty Hand (see Multiversity, Final Crisis and Dark Crisis) than Perpetua to be honest.
I think that Gunn gave us the biggest clue when he titled the chapter “Gods and Monsters”. Creature Commandos are monsters. Swamp Thing is a monster. An argument could be made that Peacemaker, Waller, The Authority and even Batman are all monsters given their “any means necessary” approach to justice. So if our heroes are the monsters, who are the “Gods”? Arguments can be made that many of the villains you mentioned are cosmic level gods; ie Nekron, Eclipso, & Darkseid. Hell, Darkseid even calls himself a “New God”. Another fan also mentioned Trigon who falls into this category. This makes all of them more likely candidates than say Brainiac or a Legion of Doom. But I want to make an argument for another possibility. In 1991, there was a storyline called “War Of The Gods” that crossed over several titles including Justice League and Suicide Squad. It was a storyline initiated by Circe, whom we know is the big bad of Creature Commandos season 1 and whom Gunn has low-key confirmed for Superman (the purple glowing effect in the costume photo which was our first look). What if the big bad is actually all the gods and she is the catalyst peppered throughout the entire chapter?
Here's a hot take about Brainiac, my preferred version is the Superfriends robot version. I didn't even grow up with Superfriends and I don't how I even found out about that version, but it's my favorite design for Brainiac.
Brainiac is interesting because you could present him as an overall DCU big bad or just as a Superman villain. Another angle you could go with is start him as a Superman villain, have Supes defeat him but not totally destroy him, then have him evolve and come back more powerful to where the Justice League is needed to take him down. Kind of like in the DCAU where he was a villain on Superman: TAS then evolved when he merged with Luthor in JLU. Doesn't have to be that exactly but just an example.
A good a big bad for chapter 1 or a first Justice League team up movie could be the Hyperclan and the White Martians. Similar to how the JLA teams up in Grant Morrison’s run. The only thing is that the Justice League animated series already kind of did it. But they did not include the Hyperclan so it could be different enough.
They need to do 10 Justice League movies so 1-5 movies focuses on the 7-Founding Members-Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Barry Allen/The Flash, Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter that for the 1st movie The White Martians as the main villains then at the end we see the Watchtower and they fight Starro on a Beach like the Original comic, 2nd movie The Injustice League as the villains being Lex Luthor, Joker, Circe, Mirror Master, Star Sapphire, Ocean Master and Doctor Light, 3rd movie Despero, 4th movie The Crime Syndicate, 5th movie Darkseid with Martian Manhunter and 4 New Gods of New Genesis die. Justice 6-10 would take inspiration from Justice League Unlimited so the 6th movie would show Amazo as the main villain with his Army of Red Tornado Robots, 7th movie Based on Tower of Babel with Ra's al Ghul, Talia al Ghul and the League of Assassins as the villains then at the end of the movie Batman leaves the Justice League and it sets up Batman and The Outsiders movie, 8th movie Based on Alex Ross Justice comic showing the Justice League, Batman and the Outsiders, Teen Titans, Doom Patrol and The Metal Men working together to fight the Legion of Doom, 9th movie Based on Our Worlds at War with Imperiex as the main villain and lots of characters die like John Henry Irons/Steel, Doomsday, Ray Palmer/The Atom, Maxima, Hippolyta, Aquaman and others then the 10th movie would be called Infinite Crisis showing Darkseid and Brainiac God as the main villains.
Honestly this might be an odd choice but I would love Sinestro to be a big bad He is not only a master tactician and strategist but he is an expert combatant, he is fearless, he has a genius level intellect, leads and controls his own army/Corps of Yellow Lanterns. He even rules an entire planet being his own homeworld and has a sentient battle station called Ranx that is his equivalent to Mogo of the Green Lantern Corps. He can also escape to the Anti-Matter universe at will Hell, he has an entire storyline based on him and his corps and it spans over 15 issues, it’s one of the most popular stories out there. I just think he would be a Justice League level threat and not just a Green Lantern villain. I do agree with most of the choices, mainly The Legion of Doom and Mongul. I think Blackest Night should be saved for its own Chapter and have it built up, maybe Chapter 2 or 3
Awesome video! Very thorough and detailed. Thanks so much! I’ve very much enjoyed your channel, I discovered it a few weeks ago and you do a great job analyzing superhero movies.
The blackest night , crisis on infinite earth's, and Darkseid wars should be saved for down the line in chapters. They can have vandal savage be the main villan of chapter 1 and they could introduce him in a justice society of america movie set in the past after WW2 and he is involved in the cold war and the JSA have to stop him from starting a war with the USA from behind the scenes of Russia government. Vandal savage could return in modern day in a new JLA team movie. Vandal savage could beat at the end of chapter 1 but teases them with a bigger threat coming with the center. The center could have a physical form like ego in guardians of the galaxy and be the island itself.
Magog would be awesome. not so much because of Magog but more so the influence of Kingdom Come. The emphasis of Superman being a beacon of hope as well as his influence and example to other heroes in that story is, in my opinion, the perfect iteration of the character. I LOVE that story!
He’s read these comics since his childhood, n has the different ideas that not many directors have n it’s gonna be a fresh start but still have that dark sense in the background cooking up just like in the comics. We are chillin. 👌🏻💯
I would love to see Legion of Doom as a big bad cus imagine Gunn introducing each one crazy villain in every project comes out like Wonder Woman fights cheetah and Hal Jordan fights Sinestro then leads straight into forming the legion lead by Maxwell Lord to dominate earth. That make Superman to form the JLA gathering every superhero willing to fight against the Legion in the first chapter. Moving forward to Braniac or Anti-Monitor in the second chapter of DCU.
Brainiac and the Legion of Doom should be featured in a Justice League movie. Vandal Savage would be an excellent fit for a Wonder Woman team-up, including Black Canary, Hawkgirl, and Green Arrow Or, however, needs to be included in the story. The Black Lantern story could be explored effectively, possibly in a Justice League Beyond movie, featuring the old Justice League as intriguing villains as Black Lantherns. Mongul should be showcased in a Trinity film.
of all the villains I think vandal savage would be the most unexpected but could be the most unique, you can combine two of those villains under him. What I mean assuming the center is chapter one knowing that savage is also as old as history itself, let his actions be the cause of the center wanting to destroy humanity and the idea of the justice league defeating the center be an overall plan for that was cooked by savage in some way. Later on after that film show savage in a post credit scene with Luthor and some other chapter one villains in previous movies forming some kind of organization like the light or the legion of doom to then cause some serios damage in chapter two. I just feel like savage has a lot of untapped potential
I think the most suprising & unorthodox villian the DCU can utilize that most people would never consider would be Ebon, "Master of Shadows & Darkness". The guy is OP (unless exposed to light).
Hey Boba! Sorry that I'm a week or two behind but I'm here now. With such a large cast of heroes can you see an opening scene where we get 45 seconds of every hero except Superman taking down one of their nemesis? Maybe, Shadow Thief, Solomon Grundy, Chemo, Cheshire, and Count Vertigo? Just to highlight what everyone’s skill set is and move on to Superman.
I had trouble sleeping because it's "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earth's Part 1" day to day!!! Hell yeah!! It's almost 1hr 33mins for those of you wondering. I swear I get more excited for their animated stuff than I do for live action... with the exception of Matt Reeves Batman stuff of course. I got the day off too so I can't wait to watch it later this morning. The last one was a bit strange but I enjoyed it. But given the story, I just know this one's gonna kick ass.
Casting the actors for a Kingdom Come movie - it would be absolutely amazing if it was treated like a parallel earth, and Haney Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ben Affleck could reprise their roles. We never got to see Green Lantern in the Snyder movies. Then this Earth could cross over with Gunn’s universe, for a new story. “Crisis of Kingdom Come” or something. The Snyderverse actors will have aged up and will resonate with the story of KC. Gunn can cast all those brutal 2nd gen anti-heroes and use them elsewhere. Eventually it feeds into a Crisis on infinite earths situation like the comics.
I would love to see Brainiac and I’ve got an idea on what they could do with him. I think they could have Brainiac manipulate General Zod to kill Superman in maybe another Superman Vs Zod movie that eventually builds up Brainiac betraying Zod.
I think I'm the only one who fails to take the centre seriously as a villain. What if the threat being investigated by the lanterns is actually an infiltration by white martians on earth? This could make them villains for th first justice league film.
As a Major Fan of The Blackest Night storyline, I don’t think that introducing Nekron at this stage is a smart play. I do want to see down the line Hal Jordan becoming a victim of Parallax turning him a Madman like that classic cover with him having all other Lantern’s rings in Emerald Twilight Green Lantern Story.
The DC universe deserves an amazing cinematic universe. The DCEU was such a let down and everything felt so thrown in everywhere. Make DCU like MCU before. A story that all leads to a big bad per chapter with connecting timelines, characters and plots
*Question #1:*What are some of the top 8 or 10 things you want to be included for the brand-new upcoming DCU film, Supergirl: The Woman of Tomorrow, **#BobaTalks**?* *I would love to see/hear thoughts on it via a video ,just like you made the video on the list if things you wanted in the brand-new upcoming DCU film, Batman: The Brave and the Bold!* ;D
Considering the indevidaul projects we are getting for now, the most logical is something like the centre for chapter 1 (But I want/think it will be more like a natural phenomenon like the earthquake in the no man's land.) And Legion of doom for chapter 2 leading by a fusion of Luthor and Braniac.
Brainiac for sure has the highest potential to be the big bad for chapter 1. But since James Gunn is trying to cameo the Gods in chapter 1(Gods and Monsters). I see Magog as Superman legacy threat or a later threat after chapter 2 where they have already established superhero ethics. I feel like he is building up to introduce a god sort of bad guy for chapter 2. Either way any of the DC big bad will do the job in the end.
how about no big bad in like the first few chapters?? Having a “big bad” is making it similar to MCU. Not having one for some time would distinguish it from the other comic book cinematic universe. It’s something different. Maybe each villain from individual films or series would team up then that’s/those are the villains our heroes would have to face for the big crossover film?
I think your reverse Kingdom come idea is quite interesting, I actually think that the anti-hero and vigilante situation should be evident in the first few films for DCU with lots of character and world building and it could bubble under the surface throughout chapter one. But Magoog should appear in chapter two. And Brainiac should be the big bad Monster that everyone faces at the end of chapter one, with Supergirl almost having a breakdown or losing control when Brainiac arrives. And then the consequences of all heroes and anti-heroes and vigilantes are dealt with in chapter two with. Magoog taking a definitive stand and the Justice league or Trinity is formed or will form to bring the public on one side or the other. This could be an actual fantasy discussion with regards to partisan politics we have today the political division and culture/moral wars being discussed in the media over the past few years. Then maybe Lex Luthor is campaigning for president on this basis using Magoog as a political tool to gain power and try to restrict heroes from using their powers etc. just a thought everyone please do not shit on it. great video Boba.
Of all the DCU things I want to know you bring up Batman being a hero for ten to twelve years and I immediately thought about Alfred still being around or dead. Idk why I'm thinking about that I just had a thought.
I don’t care about the big bad of the universe if they do a morally compelling Mr. Freeze. He is easily one of the most underused/misused characters in all of DC. We haven’t gotten a true interpretation since Arnold. I think with the style the James brings to his movies and how he makes creative decisions, Mr. Freeze has the potential to be the greatest supervillain of all time.
Magog & Kingdom Come, Sounds like how Sinestro was to his home world way too strict. If somebody would litter, he would cut itheir hands off and in return Sinestra wanted his people to treat him like and believe he was God. Sinestro was’t originally evil. He was just way too strict with his home world, people, crime and criminals.
JG is the Dude !!! 😢 tears of Joy ..We are really Gonna See how SUPERMAN..JUSTICE LEAGUE really really realy is ..I can't wait ..Villian. .BRANIAC. and LEX..but the Future JL fighting AMAZO
the decision to have the arkham series take place in the dcu really makes me think that the legion of doom will be a major player sooner rather than later.
Not another Lex. And Not another Brainiac. Vandal Savage is a Ra,s al Ghu'l re-write or visa versa . Please Bring on a Starro type bigger than all baddie ( we must work together force )it works too with the Brave and the Bold story lines and possibly unites the justice league to band loosely together regardless how long hero's have been around + if you wanted defenders of the unknown and a Doom patrol as well ? And takes villains and hero's alike also introducing the LOD ? Surely kingdom come would be a later time, but letting Magog live in an earlier story line of the New Superman film as an easter egg 5 min intro and Magog lays' a future plot line for Kingdom come. Mongol a War world I have read them, But to most a War World Sounds very Marvel to them that don't know...
A Legion of Doom would be great! That’s something that has not been done over in the MCU. Vandal Savage would make a great baddie if Darkseid cannot be used. I love how Young Justice utilized the character. Mongul is just a knockoff of Darkseid or Thanos.
The finale of the DCU should definately be Darkseid but properly done not just a Thanos knock off he is this abstract force he exists outside of the multiverse he literally represents evil, but do more villains before him like Braniac and The Centre
You should also make a video about the characters who we might actually see now that we know this universe won't be as "grounded" as previous ones. For example: Crazy Quilt, the Wonder Twins, Batman Incorperated, or even Condiment king (Jim Kerry)🤣 What do y'all think 👇
I trust James Gunn he knows to tell a good story and he knows how to make lovable characters that's what DC desperately needs after the dreadful Snyderverse. I think Superman: Legacy is going to redeem Superman movies and make them great again. Hopefully we get the hopeful and optimistic Superman from the comics and not the wannabe Batman from the Snyderverse. So far everything about James Gunn's DCU looks better than the Snyderverse to me they have a plan and the plan looks somewhat good.
Id like Brainiac as a Superman film villain. Atleast when he debuts. I dont want him to be like Avengers: Age Of Ultron like film. Id want a build up to Darkseid preferably to Superman film. Id wanna see Gods of New Genisis like Highfather, Orion, Barda & Mr. Miracle could have their own spin-off series or film. Id prefer to go thru most of the Robins as a 3 film gig with Batman. What i mean is 3 films of Dick Grayson's before becoming Nightwing. 3 films of Jason Todd with last film of him being killed by Joker presumebly. , Tim Drake. And Then Damian. I know, its how id do it over years time. With characters with their best stories. I agree that Justice League's movie villains should be Lex creating the LOD. There's more than one roster of LOD villains aswell Secret Society group of villains. Then you can get the goverment involved with Cadmus. A Cadmus Arc setting up the next Justice League film.
They could make 10 Justice League movies with JL 1-5 movies focusing on the 7 founding members then JL 6-10 could be similar to Justice League: Unlimited showing Multiple Heroes on the Justice League.
Man I just realized if they wanna do Damian they most likely r gonna do the clone and that Talia Drugged Batman which is gunna suck cause I wanted Talia to be an actual love interest (also they can age clones faster to keep Batman with a younger actor)
I’m gonna keep my hopes low for the DCU. I’ve been a fan of DC for a decade in a half, and ever since 2008 its felt like a curse has been placed upon it, I mean, we constantly get bad news every week about DC.
I'm seriously hoping James Gunn can turn the DCU into something valuable and long lasting. I love DC heroes and I really wanna see them in a new and positive light than what we got before but I have hope and I'm glad you are going over these things too. Definitely deserve a sub.
Me too. Im willing to give Gunn a chance but if WB and fails. I am done with DC live action films period and stivk to the Timmverse/DCAU instead. And id advise WB to go back to DC stand alone DC franchises.
if there’s anyone who can do it, i think it’s James Gunn
Dude just look at what he did to the guardians of the galaxy who basically nobody gave a shit about including me when it was announced I was like aw man what is this bullshit but turned out to be some of the greatest movies from the mcu he also transformed the suicide squad into something great like 5 years after David Ayers first suicide squads “movie “ more like a compilation
@@Critic_Chris90210they do really well with the singular movies
He’s the best filmmaker to touch DC since Nolan. It’ll be good
I personally think Brainiac should be the big bad for the DCU. He's powerful enough to trouble the justice league and he's different from darkseid who was used by the previous regime and different from Thanos. If there was to be a justice league trilogy, the first movie would probably have white martians and then justice league 2 and justice league 3 would probably have brainiac. Save darkseid for a "new gods saga" and fulfil Kirby's dream of having him fight Orion. That's just my pitch.
Fun fact DARKSIED WAS CREATOR BEFORE THANOS
THANOS. IS THE COPY
@@damien1781inspired, they're not a copy
Maybe have him as the villian for the first superman movie, he retreats and gains power to try and destroy the leauge
true i think we need a new gods saga separate from the other dcu drama maybe like an elseworlds thing
Sounds good
I think another big bad villian that could be established in the future is Trigon. I would love to see him being a big threat in the DCU, He was done very poorly in Titans so I hope one day he’ll be done properly in the DCU. He wouldn’t be in the chapter 1 phase but maybe in the future chapters he could appear.
I would save him for a Justjce League Dark, which IMO will be a big differentiator for DC. Imagine Constantine, Deadman, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, Etrigan the Demon, Dr. Fate and Raven taking on Trigon.
Have him setup in teen titans and then do a justice leauge dark movie, but you can have the main leauge in it imo
Teen titans
Trigon is better in the 2003 Teen Titans Animated Series and Trigon is better as a Teen Titans villain not a stupid Justice League villain that's like saying Dormammu for an Avengers movie when he is a Doctor Strange villain.
It wasn’t THAT bad in titans. He atleast looked cool. Gotta remember it’s a low budget tv show
Would be cool to see a video about what the DCU should do with characters like the Flash (hoping for Wally as the main Flash), Aquaman, Shazam, etc.
Wally West is garbage when Fans want to see the REAL Barry Allen in the future wearing the comic-book accurate costume.
Like Young Justice Animated Series we'll see Barry Allen, Wally West, Jay Garrick and Impulse just like Aquaman needs to be more comic-book accurate that he had 2 Atlantean Parents who discarded him cause he had blonde hair/the Kurse of Kordax and Shazam needs to be more faithful to the Original comics as well that he lives in Fawcett City, we see his Best Friend Freddy Freeman, his Twin Sister Mary, The Wizard being White, Black Adam being an Egyptian and looking more comic-book accurate and Doctor Sivana being a short/bald mad scientist.
I'd love to see a scene in Legacy a small flashback of a 4-6-year-old Clark laying on the floor watching tv with Jonathan reading a newspaper. A newscast comes on showing something to the effects of 'Thing from outer space appears! Soon after in an update Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardener fighting the invasion repelling the aliens. Clark's eyes shine with wonder as Jonathan puts a hand on Clark's tiny shoulder smiling. This imprints on Clark/Kal-El to where once he learned of his Kryptonian heritage. the Guy Gardner newscast and the Kent's teachings inform a lot of Clark's motives and the way he operates.
I could see Gunn giving us a Vandal Savage type Villain in Chapter 1 because of how he operates. I think starting with Savage is a good start imo. 🤷🏾♂️💁🏾♂️
Proves your stupid for Vandal Savage is a JSA villain.
@@matt-tf2ob hey dude, it was just a suggestion/opinion. Why do I have to be stupid for sharing it? Like if it’s not Savage that’s cool too. 🤷🏾♂️Also, he has interacted with the JL before so it’s not unprecedented. He was literally the main antagonist of Justice League: Doom. 🤦🏾♂️ AND comic book movies have often shuffled villains to fit a narrative.
@@benjaminjenkins394 Cause you are stupid so actually read comics if you don't know anything.
All great picks but I think Luthor and Savage should be a part of the Legion of Doom and they should be the villains of a Justice League movie
The idea of a sentient island that spawns dinosaurs of all things sounds really cool and unique to me. Much better than an all powerful villain hellbent on destroying the universe.
DC has SO MANY wonderful characters that could be villains worthy of the Justice League... to waste an entire movie or chapter or TWO on something like the Center saddens me. That's not a character. It's a nothing.
#RiseDCU I’m over the moon excited about this universe coming to life.
Don't cry when it becomes a flop stupid.
Savage is my favorite idea. I think that people like mongul and Brainiac would be single use villains more like an Ultron than a Thanos. I would like to see these other characters, but i would love to see Savage as the main villian
Savage is better as a JSA villain.
I hope they don't di Darkseid at all. Please use other villains that are unknowns.
Maxwell Lord is creating the Authority. And eventually will build brother eye and the omec project
My top 3 choices personally for big bads in the DCU is
1. Brainiac
2. The Centre
3. Legion of Doom, Lex Luthor, Deathstroke, Cheetah, Reverse Flash, Black Manta, and Sinestro.
Honorable Mention: The Crime Syndicate from Earth 3. Like Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, etc.
I know multiverse stuff is overused now. But the Justice League seeing dark villainous versions of themselves from a different universe could make each member think about how differently they could have turned out if things were different. And how not to turn into what the Crime Syndicate is.
I don’t think he’s teaming up. I think the heroes in Legacy will be trying to tell Superman to solve an issue one way, possibly to work with the government that he may not trust. When he said it’s riff off of the DCAU, the Cadmus arc was the first thing I thought of
That Cadmus arc would be AMAZING in live action! I know it wouldn't be wise to follow it verbatim, but damn that would be sick in live action! I would especially like to see the strange romance with the Huntress and ?, and of course Capt. Atom being called to duty by the US Military. So glad James Gunn now holds the reins, can't wait for it!
@@cjstenzel Holy crap I forgot about that storyline, I hope we do see captain atom go against Superman in the future.
Would the Center be like Ego, having an actor for an avatar?
That would be an amazing Easter egg
They fucking ruined Ego and they will ruin all these other DC heroes and villains.
26:11 I've been writing my own story pitches for my own take on the Green Lantern film franchise, and one of my ideas is to rework the character of William Hand as a sympathetic villain who is destined to be the catalyst of the Blackest Night and become the doorway for the return of Nekron. I think William can be written as a three-dimensional villain destined to end everything ever created. However, in my pitch, he is just a 20-year-old kid who knows nothing about the Blackest Night and is Kyle Rayner's best friend. The two are art college roommates and rely on each other. However, William suffers from severe mental problems and a deep psychosis, hearing the voices and screams of the dead and the voice of Nekron torturing him ever since birth and causing suicidal urges in him. No one else believes him, not even his family, treating him with cold tone and judgment as they see Willaim as the black sheep of the Hand Family, as they disapprove of him studying art as a career and just think he's mentally challenged; however, my take on Kyle is that he still cares about William and treats him like a natural person, and the two would be inseparable like brothers, thus creating a world-ending moral dilemma whether or not he can save Willaim from destiny and other Lanterns trying to kill him to stop the Blackest Night, which I feel like would make a powerful story. Nekron, in my pitch, would be a built long-term villain set in my saga that is the literal embodiment of nothingness, pitch black, the void that existed before creation, and in my pitch, he would play into Willaim's fear and insecurities throughout his entire life ever since he was born and whisper in his ear and torture his mind about ending everything and starting the Black Night.
My take on the Blackest Night storyline would be a 2 part conclusion to my 6 film saga, similar to how Avengers Infinity War and Endgame close off the Infinity Saga of the MCU. I would love the DCU to do something like this with Nekron and the Blackest Night, closing off a Green Lantern film saga in the DCU.
I have written down pitches and story drafts for other films in this series with my own ideas, inspirations and castings in mind.
Wow. Awesome ideas. Please make a video sharing these thoughts. Also, are you interested in one day going into film? Just wondering.
@@SavageTigerMC Many thanks. I do hope to someday make videos pitching my ideas on TH-cam, though currently, I have many responsibilities and don't have the time or equipment just yet to do it, but I do hope to someday. I actually don't really have an interest in going into film as I am currently studying History and Politics. But then again who knows, maybe someday it could happen later on in my life
@@milkiassamuel780 Haha sick, well thanks for sharing! Goodluck on your future endeavors.
I LOVE this idea. Wouldn't mind reading the full story treatment. *hint hint* Haha.
Grest idea
Estuve pensando que podrían hacer algo diferente en el dcu y tener a varios grandes villanos en este universo podrían usar vandal savage como un villano terrenal y brainiac para los temas cósmicos
justamente es mi pensamiento. Incluso cada historia principal puede tener a su villano, conectando todo para un final concreto.
Personalmente yo quiero ver a todos estos villanos, y considerando que Gunn hará un montón de proyectos, no descarto la idea de que los veamos a todos en algún punto (de aquí a 10 años, si es que más).
I really want james gunn to succeed with this. Im hoping and praying that this new world he creates will be fantastic. So far in my opinion with the casting of superman legacy it seems like this movie might be pretty good.🤞🏻
Finally watched guardians of the galaxy vol 3 and man it was great! He can do it!
Perry White is suppose to be White, just like nobody cares about the Kingdom Come Logo when fans want to see the Better S Logo so James Gunn is a garbage lowlife and doesn't know anything about Marvel or DC characters.
I would love to see Circe be a big threat to the League. Maybe she forms a Legion of Doom type of team from the villains introduced in all of the different movies and TV shows
hi Circe already cast in C.C animation this 2024 so she is already in DCU
@michaelkaggwa4915 yeah that's why I mentioned her. I think it'd be a refreshing take to have a female villain last longer than a single project. Especially since they're usually more interesting and have deeper impacts on audiences
@@cordeliafoxx4468 ok understood your point
Read comics if you don't know anything its better to show Circe with the Injustice League for the 2nd Justice League movie that consists of Lex Luthor, Joker, Circe, Mirror Master, Carol Ferris/Star Sapphire, Ocean Master and Doctor Light just like Legion of Doom with more Villains is better for Justice League 8 movie in which the Justice League, Batman's Outsiders, Teen Titans and The Metal Men all work together.
I’d much rather they didn’t go with an alien invader to “unite” the heroes for a big genetic battle… I think it’d be much cooler - if they set up a civil war - heroes and villains belonging to different factions all trying to out manoeuvre the other. Game of Thrones but with superheroes - would go hard. Have the “Iron Throne” be the JL watchtower and everyone is vying for it for complete galactic control and surveillance.
Yo this would actually be badass 🔥
I’m so happy you put Nekron on the list. I’d love to see Blackest Night eventually in Gunns DCU.
I’d love to see a Savage/ Ras rivalry, working in the background of the DCU.
I just pray the writing and dialogue are better than what marvel/Star Wars have been putting out bc it’s killing my love for the movies and shows
I grew up only reading Marvel. But when Frank Miller came out with his Dark Knight stuff, I was totally into it. I was 15 in 1984 for Superman and loved it.
Anyway, I'd be thrilled if DC came into its own and ruled for a while.
Go James Gunn, go.
I want the legion of doom b4 Darkseid
Nah Darkseid is better for Justice League 5 and 10 movies with Legion of Doom for the 8th JL movie.
The Anti-Monitor should be saved for when/if they do a Multiverse arc right, in maybe chapters 3 or 4. It should be with not only a fully established DCU with a long history, but also bring in or acknowledge all previous cinematic and TV incarnations of DC. Darkseid should be chapter 2 or 3, just to have some distance from both the DCEU and DCAMU, but he should be foreshadowed and built up to from the start like Young Justice and the DCAU.
The Centre from New Frontier, Vandal Savage and Brainiac are probably the best options for the big bad of chapters 1-2. The Centre isn't really a character on its own and Brainiac is more of a Superman villain and an extraterrestrial one so Savage manipulating Lex, the Centre and all the supervillains of the world (the Secret Society and/or the Legion of Doom) like JL Doom and YJ it is. Brainiac and Savage could foreshadow either the Anti-Monitor and/or Darkseid's existence too, the former collecting cities from worlds fated to die from them and Savage preparing Earth's heroes for them. Like Ozymandias in Watchmen, he can be the reason for both the Centre being unleashed and the heroes uniting to fight them. His long history on Earth (and history with Alan Scott's GL) also makes it so he can be in a JSA movie as well.
Magog is actually connected to Gog, one of the old gods of the Second World, Urgund, which split into two and became the Fourth World (New Genesis and Apokolips) with the Third World gods being born in between from the godwave (and the First World being the Source/Presence, the One True God Himself). Both Gog and Magog in fact come from the Bible as false gods. They could foreshadow Darkseid (the ultimate false god like in Final Crisis) but also follow him too. Either way even in Kingdom Come neither of them are the true big bads. Right now in Mark Waid and Dan Mora's World's Finest, Gog is manipulating Magog in the past of KC so he can wage war on Apokolips.
Edit: Nekron would be awesome for a Blackest Night film and Mongul for a Warworld Saga series or film would be the dream. But they should be saved for way later down the line and focused on GL and Superman respectively. Nekron himself is a personification of Death and wants to destroy all life through killing the Life Entity, the light of Life born when the Presence spoke it into existence while Warworld is connected to Olgrun, another old god. Speaking of, I'd rather have the Great Darkness, Pariah, Mandrakk or the Empty Hand (see Multiversity, Final Crisis and Dark Crisis) than Perpetua to be honest.
I hope we get a batman who is genuine friends with superman an who knows maybe one day we could get a live action for the man who has everything
Awe friends sooo cute angel sooooooo cute yes
Vandal Savage should be multi-chapter villain. like in Young Justice - the ongoing respect/war game between Savage and Darkseid.
Keep it up with these videos! They’re awesome !
5:53 WOW! Where's the shot from! Thanks!
I think that Gunn gave us the biggest clue when he titled the chapter “Gods and Monsters”. Creature Commandos are monsters. Swamp Thing is a monster. An argument could be made that Peacemaker, Waller, The Authority and even Batman are all monsters given their “any means necessary” approach to justice. So if our heroes are the monsters, who are the “Gods”? Arguments can be made that many of the villains you mentioned are cosmic level gods; ie Nekron, Eclipso, & Darkseid. Hell, Darkseid even calls himself a “New God”. Another fan also mentioned Trigon who falls into this category. This makes all of them more likely candidates than say Brainiac or a Legion of Doom. But I want to make an argument for another possibility. In 1991, there was a storyline called “War Of The Gods” that crossed over several titles including Justice League and Suicide Squad. It was a storyline initiated by Circe, whom we know is the big bad of Creature Commandos season 1 and whom Gunn has low-key confirmed for Superman (the purple glowing effect in the costume photo which was our first look). What if the big bad is actually all the gods and she is the catalyst peppered throughout the entire chapter?
Here's a hot take about Brainiac, my preferred version is the Superfriends robot version. I didn't even grow up with Superfriends and I don't how I even found out about that version, but it's my favorite design for Brainiac.
Brainiac is interesting because you could present him as an overall DCU big bad or just as a Superman villain. Another angle you could go with is start him as a Superman villain, have Supes defeat him but not totally destroy him, then have him evolve and come back more powerful to where the Justice League is needed to take him down. Kind of like in the DCAU where he was a villain on Superman: TAS then evolved when he merged with Luthor in JLU. Doesn't have to be that exactly but just an example.
A good a big bad for chapter 1 or a first Justice League team up movie could be the Hyperclan and the White Martians. Similar to how the JLA teams up in Grant Morrison’s run.
The only thing is that the Justice League animated series already kind of did it. But they did not include the Hyperclan so it could be different enough.
They need to do 10 Justice League movies so 1-5 movies focuses on the 7-Founding Members-Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Barry Allen/The Flash, Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter that for the 1st movie The White Martians as the main villains then at the end we see the Watchtower and they fight Starro on a Beach like the Original comic, 2nd movie The Injustice League as the villains being Lex Luthor, Joker, Circe, Mirror Master, Star Sapphire, Ocean Master and Doctor Light, 3rd movie Despero, 4th movie The Crime Syndicate, 5th movie Darkseid with Martian Manhunter and 4 New Gods of New Genesis die. Justice 6-10 would take inspiration from Justice League Unlimited so the 6th movie would show Amazo as the main villain with his Army of Red Tornado Robots, 7th movie Based on Tower of Babel with Ra's al Ghul, Talia al Ghul and the League of Assassins as the villains then at the end of the movie Batman leaves the Justice League and it sets up Batman and The Outsiders movie, 8th movie Based on Alex Ross Justice comic showing the Justice League, Batman and the Outsiders, Teen Titans, Doom Patrol and The Metal Men working together to fight the Legion of Doom, 9th movie Based on Our Worlds at War with Imperiex as the main villain and lots of characters die like John Henry Irons/Steel, Doomsday, Ray Palmer/The Atom, Maxima, Hippolyta, Aquaman and others then the 10th movie would be called Infinite Crisis showing Darkseid and Brainiac God as the main villains.
Honestly this might be an odd choice but I would love Sinestro to be a big bad
He is not only a master tactician and strategist but he is an expert combatant, he is fearless, he has a genius level intellect, leads and controls his own army/Corps of Yellow Lanterns. He even rules an entire planet being his own homeworld and has a sentient battle station called Ranx that is his equivalent to Mogo of the Green Lantern Corps. He can also escape to the Anti-Matter universe at will
Hell, he has an entire storyline based on him and his corps and it spans over 15 issues, it’s one of the most popular stories out there. I just think he would be a Justice League level threat and not just a Green Lantern villain.
I do agree with most of the choices, mainly The Legion of Doom and Mongul. I think Blackest Night should be saved for its own Chapter and have it built up, maybe Chapter 2 or 3
Anti-Monitor, Trigon, Darksied, Brainiac, so much potential.
Awesome video! Very thorough and detailed. Thanks so much! I’ve very much enjoyed your channel, I discovered it a few weeks ago and you do a great job analyzing superhero movies.
The blackest night , crisis on infinite earth's, and Darkseid wars should be saved for down the line in chapters.
They can have vandal savage be the main villan of chapter 1 and they could introduce him in a justice society of america movie set in the past after WW2 and he is involved in the cold war and the JSA have to stop him from starting a war with the USA from behind the scenes of Russia government.
Vandal savage could return in modern day in a new JLA team movie.
Vandal savage could beat at the end of chapter 1 but teases them with a bigger threat coming with the center.
The center could have a physical form like ego in guardians of the galaxy and be the island itself.
Magog would be awesome. not so much because of Magog but more so the influence of Kingdom Come. The emphasis of Superman being a beacon of hope as well as his influence and example to other heroes in that story is, in my opinion, the perfect iteration of the character. I LOVE that story!
He’s read these comics since his childhood, n has the different ideas that not many directors have n it’s gonna be a fresh start but still have that dark sense in the background cooking up just like in the comics. We are chillin. 👌🏻💯
My hope, is that the story of the greater DCU has a beginning, middle, and an end.
I would love to see Legion of Doom as a big bad cus imagine Gunn introducing each one crazy villain in every project comes out like Wonder Woman fights cheetah and Hal Jordan fights Sinestro then leads straight into forming the legion lead by Maxwell Lord to dominate earth. That make Superman to form the JLA gathering every superhero willing to fight against the Legion in the first chapter. Moving forward to Braniac or Anti-Monitor in the second chapter of DCU.
Brainiac and the Legion of Doom should be featured in a Justice League movie. Vandal Savage would be an excellent fit for a Wonder Woman team-up, including Black Canary, Hawkgirl, and Green Arrow Or, however, needs to be included in the story. The Black Lantern story could be explored effectively, possibly in a Justice League Beyond movie, featuring the old Justice League as intriguing villains as Black Lantherns. Mongul should be showcased in a Trinity film.
*Awesome list of top 8 potential Big Bads for the DCU film franchise led by James Gunn, **#BobaTalks**!* ;D
of all the villains I think vandal savage would be the most unexpected but could be the most unique, you can combine two of those villains under him. What I mean assuming the center is chapter one knowing that savage is also as old as history itself, let his actions be the cause of the center wanting to destroy humanity and the idea of the justice league defeating the center be an overall plan for that was cooked by savage in some way. Later on after that film show savage in a post credit scene with Luthor and some other chapter one villains in previous movies forming some kind of organization like the light or the legion of doom to then cause some serios damage in chapter two. I just feel like savage has a lot of untapped potential
I really want James gunn take inspiration from justice league unlimited I love that show
That shoe was overrated as it created a toxic fandom
I think the most suprising & unorthodox villian the DCU can utilize that most people would never consider would be Ebon, "Master of Shadows & Darkness". The guy is OP (unless exposed to light).
Brainiac is a SUPERMAN villain (yea I know he fights the JL but my point still stands)
Zack Snyder's apparently might've Confirmed that Sofia Boutella would've played Darkseid's Daughter Grail in his Justice League Sequels apparently
Terrible actress. I'm glad Snyder is gone
Hey Boba! Sorry that I'm a week or two behind but I'm here now.
With such a large cast of heroes can you see an opening scene where we get 45 seconds of every hero except Superman taking down one of their nemesis? Maybe, Shadow Thief, Solomon Grundy, Chemo, Cheshire, and Count Vertigo? Just to highlight what everyone’s skill set is and move on to Superman.
I had trouble sleeping because it's "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earth's Part 1" day to day!!! Hell yeah!! It's almost 1hr 33mins for those of you wondering. I swear I get more excited for their animated stuff than I do for live action... with the exception of Matt Reeves Batman stuff of course. I got the day off too so I can't wait to watch it later this morning. The last one was a bit strange but I enjoyed it. But given the story, I just know this one's gonna kick ass.
Vandal Savage would be a good big bad in my opinion
Casting the actors for a Kingdom Come movie - it would be absolutely amazing if it was treated like a parallel earth, and Haney Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ben Affleck could reprise their roles. We never got to see Green Lantern in the Snyder movies. Then this Earth could cross over with Gunn’s universe, for a new story. “Crisis of Kingdom Come” or something. The Snyderverse actors will have aged up and will resonate with the story of KC. Gunn can cast all those brutal 2nd gen anti-heroes and use them elsewhere. Eventually it feeds into a Crisis on infinite earths situation like the comics.
I would love to see Brainiac and I’ve got an idea on what they could do with him. I think they could have Brainiac manipulate General Zod to kill Superman in maybe another Superman Vs Zod movie that eventually builds up Brainiac betraying Zod.
LOD - Luthor, Black Adam, Cheetah, Failsafe, Deathstroke, Gorilla Grod, Sinestro...
I think I'm the only one who fails to take the centre seriously as a villain. What if the threat being investigated by the lanterns is actually an infiltration by white martians on earth? This could make them villains for th first justice league film.
For Batman, Dollmaker and the Ventriloquist would be really awesome on film.
As a Major Fan of The Blackest Night storyline, I don’t think that introducing Nekron at this stage is a smart play. I do want to see down the line
Hal Jordan becoming a victim of Parallax turning him a Madman like that classic cover with him having all other Lantern’s rings in Emerald Twilight Green Lantern Story.
I’m drawing points of conclusions from Ra’s, Swamp Thing and to the centre. It’s gotta be Boba. I’d dig it.
The DC universe deserves an amazing cinematic universe. The DCEU was such a let down and everything felt so thrown in everywhere. Make DCU like MCU before. A story that all leads to a big bad per chapter with connecting timelines, characters and plots
I agree with the legion of doom as long as they don't kill off every bad guy like they used to
*Question #1:*What are some of the top 8 or 10 things you want to be included for the brand-new upcoming DCU film, Supergirl: The Woman of Tomorrow, **#BobaTalks**?* *I would love to see/hear thoughts on it via a video ,just like you made the video on the list if things you wanted in the brand-new upcoming DCU film, Batman: The Brave and the Bold!* ;D
i have a big feeling cadmus will be a big overarching threat over the first two chapters of the dcu
Considering the indevidaul projects we are getting for now, the most logical is something like the centre for chapter 1 (But I want/think it will be more like a natural phenomenon like the earthquake in the no man's land.) And Legion of doom for chapter 2 leading by a fusion of Luthor and Braniac.
What about Trigon!!!!
Brainiac for sure has the highest potential to be the big bad for chapter 1. But since James Gunn is trying to cameo the Gods in chapter 1(Gods and Monsters). I see Magog as Superman legacy threat or a later threat after chapter 2 where they have already established superhero ethics. I feel like he is building up to introduce a god sort of bad guy for chapter 2. Either way any of the DC big bad will do the job in the end.
Harías un video de cosas que te gustaría ver en la serie de lanterns
Easy answer
Chapter 1:VANDAL SAVAGE & BRAINIAC
Chapter 2:NECRON
how about no big bad in like the first few chapters?? Having a “big bad” is making it similar to MCU. Not having one for some time would distinguish it from the other comic book cinematic universe. It’s something different. Maybe each villain from individual films or series would team up then that’s/those are the villains our heroes would have to face for the big crossover film?
I think your reverse Kingdom come idea is quite interesting, I actually think that the anti-hero and vigilante situation should be evident in the first few films for DCU with lots of character and world building and it could bubble under the surface throughout chapter one. But Magoog should appear in chapter two. And Brainiac should be the big bad Monster that everyone faces at the end of chapter one, with Supergirl almost having a breakdown or losing control when Brainiac arrives. And then the consequences of all heroes and anti-heroes and vigilantes are dealt with in chapter two with. Magoog taking a definitive stand and the Justice league or Trinity is formed or will form to bring the public on one side or the other. This could be an actual fantasy discussion with regards to partisan politics we have today the political division and culture/moral wars being discussed in the media over the past few years. Then maybe Lex Luthor is campaigning for president on this basis using Magoog as a political tool to gain power and try to restrict heroes from using their powers etc. just a thought everyone please do not shit on it. great video Boba.
Of all the DCU things I want to know you bring up Batman being a hero for ten to twelve years and I immediately thought about Alfred still being around or dead. Idk why I'm thinking about that I just had a thought.
I hope in the DCU they bring out a hawk man and hawk girl movie with vandal savage as the villain
I don’t care about the big bad of the universe if they do a morally compelling Mr. Freeze. He is easily one of the most underused/misused characters in all of DC. We haven’t gotten a true interpretation since Arnold. I think with the style the James brings to his movies and how he makes creative decisions, Mr. Freeze has the potential to be the greatest supervillain of all time.
Magog & Kingdom Come, Sounds like how Sinestro was to his home world way too strict. If somebody would litter, he would cut itheir hands off and in return Sinestra wanted his people to treat him like and believe he was God. Sinestro was’t originally evil. He was just way too strict with his home world, people, crime and criminals.
JG is the Dude !!! 😢 tears of Joy ..We are really Gonna See how SUPERMAN..JUSTICE LEAGUE really really realy is ..I can't wait ..Villian. .BRANIAC. and LEX..but the Future JL fighting AMAZO
the decision to have the arkham series take place in the dcu really makes me think that the legion of doom will be a major player sooner rather than later.
You have good hair. You don’t need to cover it with a hat so much. Unless you just like wearing hats, which obviously is your business. Just saying.
Was about to say bro’s handsome.
Not another Lex. And Not another Brainiac. Vandal Savage is a Ra,s al Ghu'l re-write or visa versa . Please Bring on a Starro type bigger than all baddie ( we must work together force )it works too with the Brave and the Bold story lines and possibly unites the justice league to band loosely together regardless how long hero's have been around + if you wanted defenders of the unknown and a Doom patrol as well ?
And takes villains and hero's alike also introducing the LOD ? Surely kingdom come would be a later time, but letting Magog live in an earlier story line of the New Superman film as an easter egg 5 min intro and Magog lays' a future plot line for Kingdom come. Mongol a War world I have read them, But to most a War World Sounds very Marvel to them that don't know...
No Joker in LOD.
A Legion of Doom would be great! That’s something that has not been done over in the MCU.
Vandal Savage would make a great baddie if Darkseid cannot be used. I love how Young Justice utilized the character.
Mongul is just a knockoff of Darkseid or Thanos.
I just have a hard time believing that if the theme is gods and monsters that at least a part 1 villain wouldn’t be magic based.
Hope we see a good version of Deathstroke.
They could do a take on Darkseid War.
is Vandal Savage similar to Apocalypse
Best big bad breakdown out there. Thanks for the great content
Really appreciate hearing that man, thank you.
The finale of the DCU should definately be Darkseid but properly done not just a Thanos knock off he is this abstract force he exists outside of the multiverse he literally represents evil, but do more villains before him like Braniac and The Centre
You should also make a video about the characters who we might actually see now that we know this universe won't be as "grounded" as previous ones. For example: Crazy Quilt, the Wonder Twins, Batman Incorperated, or even Condiment king (Jim Kerry)🤣
What do y'all think 👇
I trust James Gunn he knows to tell a good story and he knows how to make lovable characters that's what DC desperately needs after the dreadful Snyderverse. I think Superman: Legacy is going to redeem Superman movies and make them great again. Hopefully we get the hopeful and optimistic Superman from the comics and not the wannabe Batman from the Snyderverse. So far everything about James Gunn's DCU looks better than the Snyderverse to me they have a plan and the plan looks somewhat good.
Yessir we do need a big bad for sure 👏👏👏👏👏
Cool options. Good points, too.
Id like Brainiac as a Superman film villain. Atleast when he debuts. I dont want him to be like Avengers: Age Of Ultron like film. Id want a build up to Darkseid preferably to Superman film. Id wanna see Gods of New Genisis like Highfather, Orion, Barda & Mr. Miracle could have their own spin-off series or film. Id prefer to go thru most of the Robins as a 3 film gig with Batman. What i mean is 3 films of Dick Grayson's before becoming Nightwing. 3 films of Jason Todd with last film of him being killed by Joker presumebly. , Tim Drake. And Then Damian. I know, its how id do it over years time. With characters with their best stories. I agree that Justice League's movie villains should be Lex creating the LOD. There's more than one roster of LOD villains aswell Secret Society group of villains. Then you can get the goverment involved with Cadmus. A Cadmus Arc setting up the next Justice League film.
They could make 10 Justice League movies with JL 1-5 movies focusing on the 7 founding members then JL 6-10 could be similar to Justice League: Unlimited showing Multiple Heroes on the Justice League.
I would love to see a Blackest Night film, probably in chapter 2 or 3
Supergirl could be the first baddie ..
I speculate that the first chapter would have vandal savage as the main villain
Man I just realized if they wanna do Damian they most likely r gonna do the clone and that Talia Drugged Batman which is gunna suck cause I wanted Talia to be an actual love interest (also they can age clones faster to keep Batman with a younger actor)
We are definitely gettina a metallo and brainiac. Don't know if Gunn will go for Doomsday.
earned my sub
Thanks, hope you enjoy the future videos :)
I’m gonna keep my hopes low for the DCU. I’ve been a fan of DC for a decade in a half, and ever since 2008 its felt like a curse has been placed upon it, I mean, we constantly get bad news every week about DC.
We just need consistency/ cohesive universe to an extent. That’s it! You don’t need dozens of stuff each year either. Quality over quantity isn’t bad.
