DC Animated Original Movies Discussion

[DochaDocha]

I'm 100% fine with getting one solo Batman title a year. What I didn't like in years past was when we'd get one Batman solo, and then the accompanying group/JL movie heavily featured Batman, too.

Well, personally, I could go without a Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Titans, or Justice League movie for a couple of years. I doubt WB would though. I would love to see DC's other, mostly or entirely unused in animation properties.

Which movie is Lady Shiva going to show up in?

Avengers looks insanely mediocre but as long as it’s halfway decent it will sell.

Visually even though they've improved a lot of it it's just not exciting me too much.

What about potentially three solo Batman movies ?

Upcoming? Supposedly the Batman: Soul of The Dragon film.

Who is left that could even support a movie? I mean maybe Shazam or Birds of Prey, but I honestly don't see a JSA doing well enough to have WB pushing the brakes on it quick, never mind even more obscure characters...

The next Bruce Timm-helmed animated film is apparently Batman: Soul of The Dragon set for release Spring 2021.

I'm expecting some amazing fight choreography in the movie. I hope Cassandra Cain, and David Cain show up as well.

Definitely Suicide Squad since they’ve had two already. Though I don’t get why Wonder Woman, Titans, or Green Lantern were listed but not the Squad since they all have the same number of animated films under their belt. Why list Flash when he hasn’t had a single one, unless Flashpoint counts? I get listing Batman, Superman and Justice League though.

Anyway outside of them, I could see a Shazam one with Black Adam and his family, Green Arrow/Black Canary, The Hawks, or Doom Patrol animated film doing decent numbers.Not sure if Legion of Superheroes or JSA could support one yet.

They tried to branch out before with Green Lantern and it didn't do so hot. It seems for the foreseeable future they're sticking with "names" like the Trinity, Justice League or Titans.

Though given how insanely successful the Aquaman live-action film was I'm surprised they didn't do an animated movie with him.

I don't know - the Doom Patrol show is popular, but would that translate to a different version is a toss up. The Hawks I'm also a bit unsure on. Maybe test the waters with one if those short films?

You already have Shiva, Tiger, and Richard along with Batman, don't want to bloat the cast or add too many subplots.

I think the GL films did well enough but the movie tanked everything GL-related media-wise.

Considering how long it took them to release Bloodlines after the Wonder Woman movie came out, I think an Aquaman movie is more "when" than "if."

Yeah, I'd love to see Cass show up but I'm not sure if they want to go into all of that with Shiva.

Was Timm the one who added cringey sexuality in the Harley Quinn movie and Killing Joke? I'm no prude, but the way it was done in those films was just embarrassing. The only times I felt bad being an adult who watches superhero cartoons.

They could at least make a teaser appearance at the very end, or post credits

It would have probably been on Timm in Batman and Harley Quinn but Azzarello probably didn't help with Killing Joke.

Timm in both cases probably, though Azzarello probably shares blame when it comes to The Killing Joke.
