    Default Choose five DC movies to fast track and five to cancel

    Recently, there was a rumour that two potential movies on the WB/DC movie slate have been cancelled (Deadshot and Lobo).

    https://www.comicbookmovie.com/lobo/...d-lobo-a156797

    If you were new DC Films president Walter Hamada, out of the potential 15 in-continuity movies listed below, which five would you fast track and which five would you cancel? (I'm not including Aquaman, Shazam or Wonder Woman 2 as all three are pretty much guaranteed at this point).

    Suicide Squad 2
    The Batman
    Flashpoint
    Man of Steel 2
    Justice League 2
    Cyborg
    Green Lantern Corps
    Justice League Dark
    Gotham City Sirens
    Harley and Joker
    Batgirl
    Nightwing
    Deathstroke
    Black Adam
    Booster Gold

    I would fast track:
    The Batman
    Man of Steel 2
    Gotham City Sirens
    Flashpoint
    Justice League Dark

    I would cancel:
    Suicide Squad 2
    Deathstroke
    Black Adam
    Harley and Joker
    Cyborg

    I didn't even know there were plans for Deadshot and Lobo movies.
    Also, according to wikipedia, there's also a solo Harley movie and a BoP movie on the slate and Booster Gold isn't on the slate.

    Fast Track:

    Booster Gold
    Green Lantern Corps
    Black Adam

    Those are the only ones I want.

    Cancel:
    Batgirl
    Deathstroke
    Harley and Joker
    Gotham City Sirens
    Nightwing

    As I mentioned, Aquaman is in the can so no worries there.

    Cancel everything until they can somehow get their act together.

    Fast Track
    Suicide Squad 2
    Man of Steel 2
    Green Lantern Corps
    Gotham City Sirens
    Batgirl
    Nightwing
    Harley

    Cancel
    Flashpoint
    Harley and Joker
    Justice League Dark
    Deathstroke
    Black Adam
    Cyborg

    I'd rather see a Harley movie over a Harley / Joker movie. I don't see appeal with Deathstroke or Black Adam. I love Justice League Dark, but a movie introducing 5 new characters will seem to redundant from Suicide Squad. Flashpoint is a stupid concept for a movie that should never see the light of day.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    Black Adam
    MOS 2
    Nightwing
    Justice League 2 or JL Dark

    Flashpoint. It was a mediocre story and we have already had an animated and tv adaptation.
    Harley and Joker
    Suicide Squad 2
    Cyborg
    Gotham City Sirens ( they could easily be added to a Batman movie)

    As of post#8, here are the results so far. I'm only including the first 5 in any category and the first selection if there is an "or" between 2 movies
    Suicide Squad Two -2
    The Batman 2
    Flashpoint -1
    Man of Steel Two 4
    Justice League Two 0
    Cyborg -4
    Green Lantern Corps 5
    Justice League Dark 1
    Gotham City Sirens -1
    Harley and Joker -5
    Batgirl 1
    Nightwing 1
    Deathstroke -3
    Black Adam 0
    Booster Gold 2

    Least popular is Harley and Joker at -5
    Most popular is Green Lantern Corp at 5

    Fast Track:

    Green Lantern Corps - The idea of a buddy cop movie with Hal and John in space is just such a no brainer
    Nightwing or Batgirl - Popular characters and could be done on a mid to low range budget (30-60 million) so not as big a risk. Maybe even combine them into one movie.
    MOS 2 - Use Brainiac, Mettalo, or a recast Lex Luthor
    The Batman - This movie should have been made instead of BvS
    Booster Gold - A nice counter to the other types of films

    Cancel:

    Joker Origin
    Harley and Joker
    Harley Quinn
    Flashpoint
    Justice League Dark (Just because it a stupid name. Maybe if they called it Demon Knights or Shadowpact but JLD is just such a dumb name)

    AX Cyborg-because he will be an after thought after next month.

    No Flashpoint lets get away from the Johns inspired universe.

    Batman-lets give him a rest (until 2025)

    Superman 2-see Batman

    No Justice League 2

    DC needs to act like they don't have the rights to Batman & Superman and finally be FORCE to invest in others. It worked with WW and it will work with Aquaman.

    Lets cut the budgets and stop spending money because we can.

    Lets see Firestorm (Ronnie/Jason- two guys who can't get along forced to work together)

    Some form of Blue Beetle

    Mr Terrific

    Doom Patrol (Animal Way version)

    I know I said no Batman but why not Batman and the Signal? Not to focus on Batman but show him developing a new hero not a sidekick.

    I think DC has only three that are a good bet to make money. And they need to keep the budgets down on them.

    Suicide Squad 2
    The Batman
    Man of Steel 2

    It would also be nice if they could get scripts written for them that might win some critical acclaim.
