Now that I think about it, I wanted to make a stand-alone Rogues movie heavily influenced by Geoff Johns. It would be a film focusing on their family trauma and flashing back to the origins while on a mission to rescue Captain Cold's dad. I'd have the film open with flashbacks of Captain Cold and his sister living with an abusive father. Nothing too graphic but definitely some suggestion there. It then artistically transitions to them pulling a bankjob with absolute precision. Then they go back to their hideout and their personalities shine through as they play cards, mirror master sneaks off to do a line, they interact and tell their stories. The hideout should be a stable recurring location where they just reflect and interact. The antagonists would probably be Jesse James and Piper, reformed Rogues. Maybe the Top is involved as the key villain. And in the end Captain Cold finds his dad and kills him.
