DCs separate Vertigo line has some interesting properties for standalone adaptations, too.
We had a look at the likely contenders.
Likelihood level:Very, but we may have to wait awhile.
With the insane amount of publicity for Ben Afflecks casting though, its bound to happen.
Jeremy Irons well surely return as Alfred in any future films too.
This story saw Batman rummaging through his enemies in search of a new serial killer.
Why should it be made?Batman is a part of our culture.
Everyone has their Batman.
Theres no need to rob the next generation of kids of that thrill just because Christopher Nolan left.
Plus, yknow, Batmans cool.
Likelihood Level:Very, but again, we might not get a standalone Batman film until afterJustice League.
Fables
Rumour or definite?Actually definite!
Despite things falling a bit quiet lately, aFablesmovie was announced over a year ago.
Nikolaj Arcel, director of Danish period dramaA Royal Affair, is purportedly attached to direct.
Likelihood Level:Very.
Sandman
Rumour or definite?Sandmanis another confirmed property, announced in December 2013.
Its unclear exactly which roles the actor/producer/director will play in the film, but starring seems the biggest certainty.
It really needs to be read to be understood (for now).
Likelihood Level:Definite.
Future standalone films probably hinge on her reception in that movie.
Expect any attempt at a big screen version of her origins to tone down the magical element slightly.
But also: Wonder Woman, on top form, is great.
Likelihood Level:Lots of talk of this one.
The consensus seems to be that Warner Bros wants to do, and some work is being done.
But its looking for a bit more confidence before it gives Wonder Woman a green light.
Bigger, blacker and bad-ass-ier, this Lantern has screen potential.
A fun-filled team-up (with TVsGreen ArroworMartian Manhunter, perhaps?)
might be a good way to rebuild faith in the character.
Likelihood Level:Hmmm.
So-so, wed reckon.
Rumour or definite?Shazamwas a definite until some troubles with the development hit in December.
Its still pretty likely, though.
Shazam) property to the big screen for quite a while.
was said to be pretty far along.
Likelihood Level:Warner Bros is still openly talking about it.
That makes the film relatively likely to happen.
Based on the AI creations of scientist Dr. William Magnus, this comic is unlike anything onscreen currently.
Likelihood Level:A strong candidate to happen.
What do we know so far?His name is Stephen Amell.
But to do so,Arrowcant be the repetitive freak-of-the-week show it sometimes is.
To honour its fans wishes, it must be somewhat better, it must be… something better.
However, star Stephen Amell has teasingly tweeted about Green Arrows adventures with the Justice League too.
The latter seems more likely, with a supporting role potentially suiting his character more on the big screen.
After two seasons of character development, a two hour movie might not do all the characters justice.
Previously touted for telly, mentioning100 Bulletsalongside a film announcement suggests a cinematic version is now the priority.
As well as the eponymous bullets, expect deeply flawed characters, secret agents and heaps of vengeance.
Likelihood Level:Yep, as things stand, this ones very likely.
Expect social awkwardness mixed with scientific skill, but dont expect a movie any time soon.
No-one has ruled out cameo appearances yet though.
Likelihood Level:Not an immediate priority.
A standalone film seems a very long shot right now.
With the man who helmedPans LabyrinthandHellboybehind the camera, an abundance of weird and wonderful is a certainty.
Likelihood Level:Quite good to very good.
Aquaman movie
Rumour or definite?This ones a rumour with a capital R. Rumour.
For the time being though, dont count on it.
Likelihood Level:Not very likely at all.
