Tim Burton's Pokemon!
Starring Burton as Ash and Johnny Depp as Pikachu.
No no no no no, it'd be Johnny Depp as Ash and Helena Bonham Carter as Misty.
CGI Christopher Lee as Prof. Oak.
Lisa Marie as Jesse.
Crispin Glover as James.
Christopher Walken as Giovanni.
Winona Ryder as Officer Joy or Ash's mom.
Can't think of a good Brock/Gary.

There are some of these suggestions that I would like to see. Tim Burton's Pokemon, David Lynch's My Little Pony, and Quentin Tarantino's Saving Private Ryan.

Also, I have been ninja'd, in more ways than one, with J.J. Abrams' Star Wars and Star Trek. I can imagine him ruining Wonder Woman. He'll probably have Wonder Woman get a haircut after the first act which would be distracting to the audience for the rest of the movie.

Seriously, I am a big Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan. If they attempt to make another movie of that, the worst director would be Lena Dunham. She is completely talentless. If her parents weren't rich and had connection, there would no way she would have been as successful as she is.

Seriously guys? Seriously?!

TOMMY WISEAU! Directing, in no particular order, Fellowship of the Ring, the Godfather, the Raiders of the Lost Ark reboot, a WW1 gritty movie, the next Pacific Rim, and Zootopia 2.

OTOH, the next Raiders reboot is going to be rubbish anyway, may as well try something a bit different.

Zach Snyder, the DC movie verse. Hindsight being what it is, I was all on board... until MoS was SOOOOOOO terrible. Now I can't think of a worse director for the DC movies. I'd rather see Uwe Boll's take on it.

As far as "so and so, any project." I'd have to say Michael Davis... any project. The two Michael Davis movies I have watched... were the worst movies I watched the year I saw them. And one of them is on my personal bottom 5 of all time. I'd rather be locked in a showing of Andy Warhol's Empire than have to sit through a Michael Davis movie again.

The Director: Christopher Nolan
The IP: The Punisher
The Reason: Nolan turned Batman into a quitter who took his words of wisdom from the people around him who were clearly smarter than he was. I believe that Nolan would make a Punisher movie in which Frank is only able to take vengeance on organized crime after receiving help from the police people whom the movie is actually about. Also, after he kills Fisk or whomever, Frank will quit being The Punisher because of broody reasons. He might come back in a sequel if he can find a magical knee-brace.

The Director: Zack Snyder
The IP: Blue Beetle
The Reason: Dan Garrick might be the most serious Blue Beetle but he's still a man who wears blue chainmail and punches bank robbers in the face. Ted Kord is a goofball who could easily be re-written to have been in love with Booster Gold. Jaime Reyes is...not necessarily Spider-Man but I wouldn't be surprised to see him written as Spider-Man in a film. What I'm getting at here is that Blue Beetle is a colorful, silly kind of super hero no matter what iteration you're looking at. Zack Snyder has proven that he's incapable of understanding levity.

The Director: Frank Miller
The IP: DC Bombshells
The Reason: I don't want to say that Frank Miller is a sexist hack who can write about as well as he can direct but looking at his body of work, I don't really think I have to say that. DC Bombshells seems like it would be the antithesis of everything Miller has done in the last 15 or so years.

The Director: Micheal Bay
The IP: Hokuto no Ken/ Fist of the North Star
The Reason: Bay might seem like a good fit for HnK at first but keep in mind that there's a difference between exploding machinery and exploding humans. Bay is decent with large-scale destruction loosely tied to a narrative that...exists but Fist of the North Star's violence and explosions are much more violent and much more intimate. What's more, the plot is much more nuanced than Bay would bother with. Peter Jackson in the 1990's would have been perfect for this IP, at least from an effects point of view but out of everybody who might make a live action HnK film, Bay would be my last choice.

The Director: Tim Burton
The IP: Petshop of Horrors
The Reason: Petshop of Horrors is my all-time favorite manga franchise and basically it's a series of short-stories about hubris. They're not all horror stories but they're all really entertaining. Given the subject matter of a lot of the stories, the setting, the characters, I can see Tim Burton jumping in to make a western adaptation of this into a movie or two. As marketable as it could be, as well as it could work, I really really don't want to see a Tim Burton version of this series. The manga is in black-and-white but it's really easy to see a Burton-esq color palette in many of the scenes and creature designs. A part of me would like to see this but I don't think Burton could capture the horror in some of the stories and instead focus on slapstick and the lighter stories; he might hint at the scarier stories and keep spookier motiffs but when Tim Burton Presents Petshop of Horrors, it'll likely just be wacky old Count D (played by Johnny Depp in yellow-face) sells mystical creatures (maybe one or two from the manga but something new will be added to get that sweet Fantastic Beasts money) and spooky shenanigans ensue!
Almost every WB producer and Zack himself is saying they are gonna add more levity in future movies.

Its gonna suck for me though because that means I have to put up with annoying Goofball characters that I want to hit them in the back of the head for spouting corny and cringy quips and jokes that are not funny :p
Because the DC comics don't have any levity at all. Oh wait, let me go through my boxes real fast...they do. Sorry people want the characters to actually be like the characters they read about.

So long as you counterbalance it with characters that at least takes things seriously, like imagine the 2003 Teen Titans Cartoon without Robin and Raven? Beastboy would just get on everyone's nerves.

Even so, Dick Grayson is Batman-lite. He jokes, has fun, has friends. Why do you think he's pretty much everyone's friend in the comics? Because unlike Batman he doesn't take himself too seriously. Even he got super-hardcore edgelord Damian to lighten up.

Wasn't Damian's edgelordness part of a charcater development where he does lighten up?

I mean I see Damien as trying to be too much like Batman.

He's only lightened up a little bit, and that's only around a few select characters like Dick or Nobody. Other than that he's still edgelord supreme.

Hey man chicks dig edgelord guys, you should see how female fanfic writers write characters like Teen Titans Robin and Danny from Danny Phantom and others in Fanfiction.

Joel Schumacher and Warhammer 40k.
That's a match oddly made in both heaven and hell. On one hand Schumacher knows how to do over the top with extra ham and cheese. On the other hand the ham 40k calls for has to raw, bloody meat and the cheese rotten and liquefied. What I'm saying is Schumacher's over the top is the completely kind of wrong OTT 40k calls for.

OT: - M. Night Shyamalan and Avatar: The Last Airbe... oh wait.

- Zack Snyder and Berserk. After suffering through the first episode of the new Berserk adaptation, I felt that was basically what we got with it. I said this at the time, but I'll repeat: Berserk is not an IP where the action and violence are supposed to be "cool man!" or "woah!" or "holy shit dude!". It's supposed to be stomach churning, gory, sweaty, heavy, dirty and unpleasant, which Snyder just has no eye for. Even with Watchmen's more grounded violence he had a sort of leery sensibility about it with the slo-mo, close-ups and camera angles, not to even mention Man of Steel's Dragonball Z antics. That sort of thing has a place, but Berserk is very fucking definitely not it.

- Christopher Nolan and One Punch Man. Considering his tendency to make movies like an engineer or a machine, a colourful action saga that basically lives on massive spectacle, explosive personalities and off the wall humor, no well known director would IMO be less suited to direct it.
