DC Cinematic Universe

DC Cinematic Universe Fantasies

 By Mitchell A. Quondam

As a follow up to my fantasy-driven post about Batman in the DC Cinematic Universe, I had the idea to map out how I would advance the story, introducing new characters to the Universe and building up to big events like Marvel does. In this post, I cover the entire Universe, and give my thoughts on how WB/DC should go about their shared universe going onward

Confirmed Cast of Heroes:

Henry Cavill as Kal-El

Ben Affleck as Batman

Stephen Amell as The Arrow

Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan

Grant Gustin as Barry Allen

Wishlist

Gina Carano as Wonder Woman

Benedict Cumberbatch as Martian Manhunter*

Idris Elba as John Stewart

Garrett Hedlund as Aquaman

Joseph Gordon-Levit as Nightwing

Chris Pine or Matt Bomer as Tim Drake, the Red Robin

*Martian Manhunter being played by Cumberbatch is not whitewashing the character. He is green, and only pretends to be a black guy as a ploy. I would actually prefer if he didn’t try to blend in at all, and just stay green the entire film.
