With Warner Bros. announcing nine untitled DC Comics movies, one can’t help but assume they’ve got a plan. And at this point, with the pressure to create a fully fleshed out DC Cinematic Universe is at an all-time high, it had better be a good one. With the amount of success they’ve had in adapting their comics to other mediums, the place that DC’s movies should take inspiration from is… DC.
Just to be clear, I’m not getting into an argument about Marvel versus DC. Both companies have great stories worth your time, and they have their share of awful ones you’re better off skipping. It’s clear that Marvel has been outperforming DC as far as fulfilling the potential of their comic book properties on the big screen. It’s also clear that DC means to play catch-up. Lucky for them, they are sitting on everything they need to make it happen.
