Perhaps Teen titans: Judas contract ?
But yeah too much concentration on the big names and it would be nice they brought more of the lesser known ones. Though something like batman brave and bold was nice as it had different type of stories than what most batman stories have been and singing.

Agreed, we need something other than Batman for a change!

I agree. I like Batman, but he doesn't need to be in all of them.
Pretty much this.

Not sure what kind of story they could tell. Perhaps an Elseworlds adaptation? Though most of them involve Batman in some way.

I'd still love to see an adaptation of "Kingdom Come", though.

DC's best bet is a soft reboot centred on the 50's JSA.

I am fuckin tired of anything Batman and yet his face is plastered everywhere. He's the most overrated hero ever, yes even in a world where Deadpool and Spiderman exists.

And worse of all he has usurped Superman's status as the face of DC. You wanna know why DC is dark and edgy as of late? Its because of Batman being the face of DC and the success of the Nolan movies. (Mabye that's not completely true but Batman and Nolan are a symptom)
DC wants to be "dark" and things can only be "dark" if Batman is in them.

They did Teen Titans: Judas Contract not too long ago.

The thing is, Batman is a core member of the Justice League, and the most popular one for better or worse. Any JL animated movie will have/want to have him in there, and the Titans are basically a junior version of the League. When leading them, Robin is playing the same straight-man role as his mentor. His apprentices were consistently the most popular characters in Young Justice.

I liked the Wonder Woman 2009 animated movie for the interactions between Diana and Steve Trevor, but that was 8 years ago. Maybe an animated origin movie for Green Arrow?

Yeah it seems like 90% of DC's profits come from Batman these days. It must suck to be a DC fan.
2. I don't know why should Poison Ivy be a Batman villain. I just think seeing what her powers can do she's seems like a worthy villainess for Wonder Woman.
Why Wonder Woman of all people
She is the first thing that came into my mind, I could have said Flash also.

Yeah PI seems more like a Flash villain than a Wonder Woman villain seeing how most of Flash's enemies are elemental.

I'll have to look that up. I also loved the 2009 Wonder Woman movie. I also liked Green Lantern: First Flight which came out about the same time I think. So can we get more of those? Perhaps a solo Flash movie? Other than Flashpoint I mean 'cause that doesn't really count.

I like Batman as is, but with the way DC goes about with him, this is too much of a good thing.

And sadly there are people out there that loves and only cares about Batman and not give a damn about anyone else. And the writers certainly don't help beause they love him the most to, I mean Batman's standalone has the biggest universe ever it rivals DC in general Most of the Famous DC villains comes from the Batman universe.

What does Superman have? Lex Luthor? Branianc, Arguably Darkseid?

Wonder Woman? All I know is Ares and the Cheetah Lady.

Batman has 10+ famous villains in his pocket :p

Why is Posion Ivy a Batman villain and not a Wonder Woman villain?

Why is Clayface a Batman villain and not a Superman villain?
Yeah, and I saw the trailer for the next Injustice game. It's mostly Batman characters. It must suck to be a DC fan.

Batman, Batnam and friends, Bat-Family, and Bat-adjacent comics probably make up at least 75% of DC's comic marketshare.

It's the Wolverine effect, only taking a lot longer to get out of DC's system

Look, let's all be real here: the reason there's so much stuff about Batman is because Batman makes the most money. Batman makes the most money because he's the most cool. They could try and do other stuff, but the other stuff is not as cool as Batman, and we all know it.

Outside of fanatical crowds where nothing is ever good enough, how are the Arkham series not "real Batman games"?
I second this query. The Arkham games were about as close to a Batman simulator as one can get without adding game mechanics for doing detective work on the Batcomputer.

I'm aware of that. However the market is oversaturated with fucking Batman. It reminds me of a children's book I read as a kid called Bread and Jam for Francis where the titular Francis wanted to eat nothing but bread and jam for every meal of every day until she got sick of it. That's seems to be the mentality of these entertainment corporations, when something becomes popular they flood the market with it until the audience becomes sick of it and then move on to the next thing, rinse and repeat.

The DC comics aren't dark and edgy anymore. Thankfully.

The movies are a different story.

Ok... Dear DC, just an idea.

Justice League is poisoned. You've proven so far that its impossible to build a shared movie universe on the awful foundation that was Man of Steel. Even if the movies make money, they will still be in inferior product to your competitors and an inferior money maker than what it could be.

So, reboot already. And... don't do or even work toward Justice League. Work toward Justice Society. Make the new rebooted universe the GOLDEN age DC heroes. Modern comic book audiences are way more familiar with the Silver Age, this gives you some freedom to do different and interesting things with the characters. Like say for instance... Batman. You could make his inclusion into the JSA more about him being the world's greatest detective, and less about him being the worlds broodiest rich ninja.

Another plus, ALL NEW HEROES. Or at least mostly new heroes. Batman and Superman wouldn't even need to be in the mix at all, they weren't at the beginning of JSA. Meaning you could make the first ever Dr. Fate movie, Jay Garrich Flash movie, Alan Scott Green Lantern movie, Sandman, Hourman, the Specter... really interesting things could be made from these characters. And if a movie doesn't do well, you can back shelf it and make them just an also ran in the team ups. And there are plenty of Golden age heroes, not associated with the JSA that could be. You have the freedom to make them whatever they need to be to make the stories more interesting and better.


And THEN you can bring in the heavies of Batman or Superman. Later. When they aren't associated with the failure they are right now.

Wow all of that just sounds lame. I ma sorry dude but the Golden Age and Silver Age are just dated.

I don't want to see the DC heroes looking like this in live action:


I am sorry dude but what you are asking for is more appropriate for Animation than Live Action. Because it would look so gaudy live action.
