Announced, Planned and Projected DCU films!
Newsarama has a great article detailing all the DCU comic book movie projects either in production or serious consideration… Here’s some highlights - check the link for the rest. Some of these are more confirmed and some are still just a step past wishful thinking. But either way the next few years should be rife with silver screen superhero spandex.
A Dark Knight Sequel a no-brainer, but if you want a talented actress who is also one fine cougar for Catwoman, I’d suggest Annette Bening over Cher (who frightens me - I still have flashbacks of that video with her in the thong on a battleship - she can’t Turn Back Time far enough to step into Selina’s shoes).
Watchmen - legal troubles may force WB to pay out some $$$ to FOX to make their March 09 release.
Green Arrow - Green Arrow has to … escape from a Super Villain prison?. This story doesn’t seem to fit the character and I think this would be better fit for another hero. It wasn’t created with Ollie Queen in mind and it shows. I think it could work for Nightwing though. Bats and friends go undercover all the time.
Green Lantern - the team describes a “respectful approach to the character” and a “loving approach to the entire mythos” - sounds good to me - lets hope they know what they are talking about and read a few issues first. And though I love his work, NO JACK BLACK.
Shazam- delayed after the writers strike, this may be getting on track again.
Justice League- According to the Wall Street Journal, DC has finally decided to do 4 solo flicks FIRST and build up to the JLA movie! YAY!!!!! Hmmm 4. Bats, Supes are the obvious choices… leaving GL and WW as the obvious FX-laden choices.
Wonder Woman- I want to see it, hope they do it right, but I’d be surprised if they give Diana her due. She should be the next movie. They did Superman and Batman, she is the last third of the DCU Trinity. IT’S HER TURN!
The Flash - Expected to feature speedster Wally West, but no news on any scripts.
Teen Titans- A Perez/Wolfman era epic!!!!! Live action Judas Contract movie was originally announced in 2007, and producers described described Warner Bros. as “absolutely committed” to doing the movie. AWESOME!!!! Fingers crossed. That ranks right up there with the Dark Phoenix X-Men movie I WANTED to see (but I got X3 instead).
Also mentioned were movies based on Jonah Hex, Deadman, Doom Patrol, Preacher, Y the Last Man, Ex Machina (Oh yeah!), Sandman and his darling goth sister Death.

Cher as Catwoman?! WTF? Why not just let Eartha Kitt have another go at it….

Teen Titans? Really? That would be so awesome! Or tremendously terrible if they screw it up……

You may have something there… I’m picturing Eartha Kitt circa Boomerang coming onto Christian Bale. MUCH creepier than anything the Joker did in Dark Knight.
I’m also torn on the Teen Titans movie. I’d almost rather see an animated version (which was ALSO in the works, but I think is in limbo for now) in the Perez style.
