That is only two of the characters, and so much lore to draw from. Please, please don't make it like Riverdale.

Also, it would be great to introduce Swamp Thing and Animal Man at some point, and make a full season arc of the fight against Rot. That could be Walking Dead levels of gore, and be an interesting allegory for disease, it's cure, and the human element that stands in the way of both.
That would be so great, a big budget R rated movie with Swamp Thing would be amazing. I think the roster of JL Dark has major potential, with a proper Constantine and Zatanna alone would be great. I think with the success of Joker, WB is more likely to follow through with this and make it R rated. Let's hope BOP is a huge hit so they can continue with R rated DC films.

I've really enjoyed the latest run of JL Dark, I wonder if they will include Detective Chimp in the film.

I actually enjoyed the Constantine TV show and Matt Ryan is great as the character and JL Dark was really good.

If you could get Keanu to reprise his Constantine role for the movie, you'd likely have a big hit on your hands.

Deadline is reporting that two new Transformers movies are in the works. One is a sequel based on the Bumblebee movie from 2018. The other has me super excited as it's going to be a Beast Wars live action movie based on the cartoon from the 90s.

Nolan made 3 amazing films, doesn't mean we should retire the character and never make new films. There are over 75 years of Batman history which haven't been properly explored. Give me a Court of Owls film, or Clayface in a film or a proper Poison Ivy.

Robert Pattinson is a great actor who got stuck in a crap franchise and made a lot of money off it. He's moved on so should the haters. Go watch Good Time, The Lighthouse or High Life. Maybe not The King, that French accent was rough.

A Beast Wars movie would be peak childhood nostalgia for me. That was the Transformers show for my age group, I was obsessed with it for a couple years.

I remember "Beasties" having a lot of great characters and was a lot better of a show than you'd think it would be. I remember the decepticon who went crazy after becoming a spider, becoming more insane and reclusive as the years went on, eventually becoming an unpredictable threat to both sides. You don't get that in most kids' shows.

And 60% on Metacritic.

That screams solidly average to me. I think that would be considered a success for DC.

Is it too late to re-cast Dr. Strange and replace Cumberbatch with Bruce Campbell?
