All Star Superman
If there’s a story that exploits Superman’s humanity and his greatest weakness (which isn’t kryptonite), it’s All-Star Superman. In January 2006 DC Comics presented an innovative and challenging project.
Winner of the Eisner award (the equivalent of the Oscars in comics) for best new series, All Star Superman, a 12-episode limited story created by the Scottish creative duo Grant Morrison (for the script) and Frank Quitely (for the lines). ) bring a bright new take on the Man of Steel mythology.
The Swamp Thing Saga
One of the most successful stages of the character created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson is The Swamp Thing Saga, especially the period headed by Alan Moore and Stephen R. Bissette, who introduced us to interesting stories as well as characters like John Constantine.
Building on the title’s gothic horror framework, with a remarkably intuitive storytelling style and unprecedented depth of character, Moore’s vision was presented through beautiful and stormy art, factors that may favor the arrival of the eco-hero. to the big screen
Blackest Night
One of the most anticipated returns on the big screen is that of the Green Lantern mythology, and what better where emotions play an important role in the fate of the DC Universe.
This story came in 2009, under the script by Geoff Johns and the art of Ivan Reis, Oclair Albert and Joe Prado, where the potential of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corporation is revealed in the face of threats beyond the stars or what supernatural.
The Dark Knight Returns
A story that thousands of fans of the DC Universe want to see in a live-action format is The Dark Knight Returns, which could be the appropriate send-off for Ben Affleck in case he looks for a final project as Batman.
Gotham City is in chaos, forcing a weary Bruce Wayne to step out of the shadows. With Batman (now 53 years old) once again operating in Gotham, old enemies show up. And former allies try to stop the Dark Knight at all costs.
Darkseid War
One of the most important sagas of The New 52 marked the course of the future of the DC Universe both in the Rebirth stage, and in other stories such as Three Jokers and Doomsday Clock was Darkseid War, one of the important works in the Geoff Johns stage
Darkseid will once again make Earth a war zone, as he becomes his front line against the Anti-Monitor. To prevent Apokalips from being collateral damage in this war of the gods, the Justice League must uncover the secrets of the New Gods and reveal the truth behind the Anti-Monitor’s identity and his history with Darkseid.
Kingdom Come
One of the most acclaimed Elseworlds in DC Universe history could be adapted into an epic movie. In Kingdom Come we witness how a new generation of metahumans seek justice in an unconventional way, while the ancient heroes decide to step aside to avoid a confrontation of ideals against the new vigilantes.
After losing everything, Superman must come out of retirement to re-inspire a world that can’t find a way before the awakening of his powers. Unfortunately, the factions created by Batman, Superman, Lex Luthor, and Magog only create damage and death. This leads to a civil war that sees the heroes fighting each other, and chaos ensues as each hero tries to save the world in his own way.
The New Frontier
If James Gunn and his team seek to explore period films, this story by Darwyn Cooke broadens the horizons of a world where the ghosts of the cold war and the paranoia between powers introduce us to a new generation of heroes.
Crisis on Infinite Earths
True, the Arrowverse has already adapted Crisis on Infinite Earths and it has become a pivotal event for DC television history, but Warner Bros.’s great desire is to carry this story of Marv Wolfman and George Pérez as the great project of the Universe. DC in the movies.
As their worlds are wiped out of existence one by one, can heroes from different Earths unite to stop the utter destruction? It will take the combined strength of two Supermans, the Flash, a new Superboy, Supergirl, Alexander Luthor, and hundreds of other heroes – and villains – to defeat such madness…and not all will survive.
