One of the cancelled movies that could also fit is the cancelled Green Arrow prison break movie. I know they sort of did the plot in Arrow season 7 but it sounds like a cool concept
@@Deathmare235 I don't know if the movie would be a part of the dceu but it was planned. The name was Escape from Super Max and you can read more in Wikipedia
I love how you can make a full timeline of movies that have been cancelled
I sometimes wonder if the DCEU would’ve been better than the MCU if they stuck to the original plan
I think maybe yes but there was a lot of backlash to the Snyder verse back in the day...
You should do a Marvel counterpart to the DC Animated Universe, it would be really cool
They kinda did with Spectacular Spider-Man, Avengers Earth’s mightiest heroes and Wolverine and the X-Men
@@srstriker6420 It could include those series but expanding the universe a the same time
@@hadex1062 90s
Xmen
90s spiderman
90s f4
90s hulk
90s iron man
90s silver surfer
90s avengers
There is the marvel animated universe
Yeah he should do one based on the dc animated movieverse that started with flashpoint paradox and end with apokolyps war
@@bashengatheblackmanta7003 Or even the full slate of DC animated Direct to DVD films, something that I dearly wish Marvel would actually look at, they did a few animated films back in to 00s, but they are way outnumbered by the DC equivalent, particularly since there are so many great Marvel stories that could never be adapted, at least not accurately into the MCU (for a start how many great crossover events include Steve or Tony)
Even though not perfect, it's amazing what Marvel was able to pull of with the limited options they had at the beginning of the MCU and how they managed to build off from that compared to what WB & DC tried to do after seeing their success. It's amazing what a lack of planning, confidence, rushing things through and being indecisive/second-guessing themselves every step of the way. They did have their own successes but had a lot more misses and mediocre films rather than outright big hits.
Ikr. I've been loyal to Marvel for basically my whole life. Even tho modern Marvel has taken more Ls than past years, I never find myself losing faith in the brand, mainly bc I don't take movies seriously enough to actively look for every little thing wrong with it, bc for me, the positives usually outweigh the negatives. While I like DC's stuff a fair amount, too, the only thing keeping me watching DC stuff is not only what James Gunn has made for it so far, but also the animated movies and shows that came before. I can thank HBO Max for that one lol
This is actually mind blowing some of these movies had so much potential
This is so underrated I love your ability to bring all of these barely finished projects, except for a few, and make it into a believable universe. Keep up the amazing work!
@@anubusx The alternate timeline would have Justice League cancelled.
really cool idea. Pretty crazy they announced a green lantern reboot only 4 years after the disastrous Reynolds movie
it be nice if Batfleck's movie can have the whole Bat family.
all i’ve ever wanted since i was a child was a decent Green Lantern movie. he was my favorite superhero and his movie even made me embarrassed. hopefully one day.
i’d kill to see Hal’s transformation into Parallax on the big screen.
A video about a hypothetical DCU under the lead of James Gunn with confirmed upcoming shows/movies + stuff you’d like to see would be sick
If the DCEU had a clear vision from the beginning. I think I would have liked if they did a lot of the “Pseudo Sequels” for movies rather than whole character trilogies like the MCU
It would be really cool to see this but with Marvel, or maybe a world where Marvel never regained all their characters. Also what about a Marvel arrowverse.
Marvel Arrowverse sounds so interesting.
The Netflix did something very similar though, but more Superpowered heroes would work
Didn’t marvel only use the characters they all ready had up to endgame with the exception of Spider-Man
@@Deathmare235 I think that is true, but Phase 4 introduced atleast 1 character They didnt have film rights for
I really wish those movies did come out. They all sound cool to me.
If Snyder would of gotten his right at the captain's seat of the dceu, it could of been something amazing
This was a very different video and I was all for it...Especially since Warner Brother's loves announcing projects without fulling knowing if they actually want them to come out or not
Since the arrowverse is ending, i would love to se a video about: who is the justice league in the arrowverse(counting all the still active heroes operating in earth prime that could be a part off it)
like the x-men mcu universe you did, you should do a defender mcu universe with the characters from the comics
I got idea for every marvel series that aired on different platforms during mcu run (not counting the Disney +show)
Netflix
-batman (daredevil)
-black ligtning (luke cage)
-katanna(ironfist)
-geo force(
-The outsiders(the defenders)
- redhood (punisher)
Hulu
- earth 1 version of teen titans(the runaways )
-etrigan (Hellstrom)
Freeform
-hawk & dove(cloak & dagger)
Abc
- A. R. G. U. S(agent of shield)
- lady black hawk(agent carter)
-
You could have made the Nightwing solo movie & the Deathstroke prequel movie as psuedo sequels to Ben Affleck's Batman.
You should make an updated version of this video now that Wonder Woman 3 and other DC Movies and TV shows have been cancelled.
cinematic universe idea:what if marvel had sold the rights to some of their characters differently?
(no xmen, iron man asgard captain america/hydra or any related heros or villains) here's my pitch
phase 1
spider man(the villain would be doc ock who would be peters mentor like Obadiah stane and would include peters origin and the pepper counterpart would be gwen, not mj, giving us spider gwen and would also include harry and norman osborne and peter would be played by andrew garfield exept with organic web shooters)
the incredible hulk would be the exact same movie as in real life exept it would include rick jones
spider man 2(villain's would be roxxon and electro and harry would become the hobgoblin but would be good and our war machine counterpart and petes web shooters would be poisoning him leading him to create a new element to save himself with the help of nick fury and shield and janet van dynes wasp would be involved somehow)
doctor strange(villain would be mordo, strange would become the master of the new york city sanctum and the ancient one would live for now. also hank pyms ant man would be involved somehow)
black panther:the first avenger(you choose the plot)
the avengers(villain would be mordo and the line up would be spider man,black panther,doctor strange(our big three)and hulk antman(hank) and wasp(janet) and rick jones would die like phil coulson
phase 2
spider man 3(green goblin as villain and kill gwen setting up mj and maybe absorbing man sub plot)
doctor strange the dark dimension with dormammu as villain)
black panther the white wolf
the fantastic 4
avengers age of ultron(new members being wonder man(who would die but come back for the endgame equivalent) tygra scott langs ant man(our falcon counterpart) and vision)
hawkeye cuz i said
phase three
black panther/avengers civil war(you choose the plot)
captain marvel
nova(villain would be Diamondhead but he would be a little more powerful)
fantastic 4 vol 2(introduce songbird and quasar)
doctor strange the oath( villain could be mephisto and ancient one would die her and strage would make an oath to become the sorcerer supreme)
iron fist(you choose the plot)
avengers secret wars(based off of the old comics with the beyonder seeming to be the thanos equivalent but it would be a fakeout deaths would be vision mordo quasar and who ever else you want and would end with the destruction of the earth )
hawkeye and mockingbird
silver surfer(villain would be galactus)
avengers battleworld(big deaths would be wasp and doctor doom and maybe black panther and doom could fix the earth and introduce the symbiote)
nova 2(villain would be Annihilus and would delve into the negative zone)
phase 4(final phase or dark phase)
spider man four(villain would be venom and vulture(venom would be JJJ's son) tease eddie brock)
planet hulk(you choose the plot)
black panther wakanda forever(basically the exact same movie we got in real life even riri stays as a deal would be made that allowed riri to join this version of the mcu similar to spider man in the original mcu)
iron heart(villain would be modok and aim)
hawkeye 3(introduce kate bishop)
venom(eddie brock and venom bond and the villain is riot)
avengers secret invasion(basic secret invasion story but with a few twists and venom is involved and carnage is born)
avengers maximum carnage(carnage kills heroes and villains alike and at the end sets free knull and he covers the universe in darkness)
avengers endgame( spider man dies after merging with the light and venom becomes the new god of the symbiotes)
nova 3(he would face garthan saal and introduce starlord and adam warlock and gamora setting up the guardians of the galaxy and thanos)
miles morales,spiderman(miles become the new spiderman and kate bishop is involved and villain is the lizard)
I wonder how many of these movies would have been made had more people given a chance to the DCEU in its early days. Still remember how hated Batman v. Superman was during its production, with many fandoms simply being all united in talking about how much the DCEU sucks.
@@LowTiertoji sure, the movies aren't masterpieces, but it still feels weird how everyone just TOOK IT FOR GRANTED FROM DAY 1.
Not only the cancelled movies but also the CW Arrowverse Tv shows are underrated. Shows like The Flash, Arrow, Superman and Lois, Black Lightning, League of Legends, Supergirl and Batgirl are gems of their own and I love their crossover sagas like Elseworld and Crisis.
If it was an Andy Samberg plastic man movie that'd have been GOLD
You should also do this with canceled marvel films (there's a list with 33 of them) and you should turn pre-mcu movies into a cinematic universe
I love these type of videos!! They are a great creative exercise. Would like to point out tho, you definetly could've used Will Beall's cancelled Justice League movie (which eventually turned into the Snydercut, sort of... And the story beats weren't that much different) instead of just retooling the Snydercut, although it does make sense as that would already create a different movie. And another one could've been the original "Man of Steel" titled movie, that being the Superman Returns sequel we (and he) never got to see, but also, the MoS2 plan of brainiac is another carry over from the Brandon Routh cancelled sequel, so it's just nitpicking at this point for the sake of variety lol. In conclusion, keep these coming!!
Nightwing could be a pseudosequel to Cyborg with they both forming the Titans
I would have loved to see a Nightwing movie
Also
The Jl movie would be written by Johns since certain scenes were written by him (considering the reaction to BVS, this is likely what we’d get in 2017)
There’s also a cancelled SS movie featuring Supergirl as a tease so you could use that to introduce both her and Deadshot to the universe
It’s actually hilarious that there’s enough cancelled DC movies to make its own universe
honestly they fucked up not making a Plastic Man movie in the late 90s/early 2000s with Jim Carey.
its basically just him being Ace Ventura that can stretch
You should make the MCU in the format New 52 DC Movies
I really love this page with these what if dceu videos
Love all your vids!
This vid was so interesting! I didn’t know about a good lot of these canceled projects.
And this is EXACTLY why I gave up on the DC extended universe as they just keep on canceling everything and now it's just all over the place
Pretty much. Good or bad movies aside, the fact that the company has zero faith in their brands and announces films only to cancel them a week later is proof that they shouldn't get any of my money.
@@ScooterinAB So many cools characters and they rarely ever manage to make any good movies. Such a waste. Not only do they have great characters they also have more generations of characters than Marvel but it isn't like they will ever be able to get past the first generation.
@@Isaac-eh6uu I'd love to see more of DC's characters than just Supes and Batman. I don't know many because that's all we ever really see,
The green lantern Corps series wasnt canceled
The original version of the DCEU flash movie is completely different to what we are now getting.
If it had been made before the star groomed and kidnapped a minor, then yeah, it probably would have been very different.
What An Ducktales Cinematic Universe Would Look Like in the MUC blueprint.
if this were a thing i'd love the nightwing movie to be a Nightwing vs Red Hood
The DCEU really disappoints me. Looking that these videos make me wonder how good it could have been
The riddler was a member of the legion of doom when they debuted in super friends
bro I was rewatching your cinematic universe vids and can you make a cinematic universe but now of all the cancelled DC project oat even before the dceu bc there's so many cool ones like justice league mortal, plastic man and that 2007 green arrow movie
What happened to you DC? You used to be awesome, you had potential. You had Brainiac, you had Batman vs Deathstroke on the way, and now we have Dwayne Johnson's ego trip. I'm sorry DC. WB deserves the shit that's happening to them. Thank you David Zasalv. 👏
I think you could make an Amalgam Cinematic Universe video, based on Amalgam Comics, which combines Marvel and DC characters. There's definitely enough material there!
Could you do another dc cinematic universe but completely different with new ideas, stories, movies not based off of the mcu or any existing movies but maybe just slightly inspired by those things. What I mean is, would you do more movies or less movies, would you do shows throughout the first 3 phases, would you even do it in phases, what would be the big story at the end or would you just a bunch different stories and maybe build up another story but not everything necessarily leads to Darkseid or whatever the big bad at the end would be. How would you do the justice league, would you go with the original lineup or just do the holy trinity and add 4 different characters of your choosing. Would you give every superhero their own movie. What heroes would you use. How many would their be. Would you use more obscure characters and teams???
I'd like to see that. This films are basically cursed, so it would be nice to see what people can come up with when not being dragged down by a decade long sinking ship.
You need to do one based off the joke villains in comics with an MCU structure. Imagine Kite Man, the Wall, Paste Pot Pete, The Bad Samaritan, Polka Dot Man, and others in their own screwed up universe.
They should really just release Batgirl as it's own thing or something and insert Ben Affleck instead of Keaton who can be saved for a separate multiverse film down the line
Brendan Fraser as Harvey bullock perfect casting
if you made this video now you could use wonder woman 3, post black adam man of steel 2, the flash 2, justice league crisis on infinite earths
@Theblack lion for the next video can you do a batman universe in the style of the mcu or maybe instead a spider-man only focused UNIVERSE for marvel please.
I want to see a hypothetical MCU Phase 3 and 4 slate if Feige and Marvel Studios remained under Perlmutter's rule.
MCU with the early 2000s Marvel movies (Blade included)
ngl at first i thought 'The Batman' was a ben affleck prequel and was in the DCEU
9 months later, Henry Cavill is officially gone... puts things in perspective in how flexible these projects were
I would've loved to see the Black Manta movie introduce a version of Aqualad, who, like Kal'Dur in Young Justice, is the son of Black Manta but chooses good
Edit: oop u said it XD
Gotta say I'm disappointed Garth isn't really used in the comics or shows or movies at all really currently, hoping Tempest gets more love in The future, as well as Jackson/Kal
I personally think that brainiac should be a Justice league villain
So much potential
seems like they’re going forward with Lobo now, potentially with Jason Momoa being double cast
I would add the canceled black canary film thst was set to be a spinoff to birds of prey
Y’all should see film theory’s video on the dceu
Why are all these canceled but flash got released
damn u are really good, this video was awesome!
I remember Santiago Cabrera was going to play Aquaman - love the actor! Sad it didn't work out(
Just fyi, the latest justice league dark comic has wonder woman as the leader (before DC cancelled that good series just like everything else). So your call to put wonder woman in justice league dark fits well.
I'm hearing all these cancelled movies and feel like we 100% didn't miss anything. A lot of these ideas sound not thought out at all. It seems like a lot of fans feel robbed by cancelations, but truly many of these didn't need a green light at all..
Ben Affleck Solo Batman psychological thriller set entirely at Arkham Asylum, with Joe as Deathstroke? This is a true loss.
So many reaches
I actually have an idea for my own version of this using (mostly) the pre-DCEU movies. Justice League Mortal would be the avengers equivalent, and it would end with Zack Snyder's Justice League 2 and 3.
i sure hope the Deathstroke movie includes Terra
@@Isaac-eh6uu I hope they never make it. Deathstroke is one of the most evil villains in comics up there with the joker. Making him an antihero is legit idiotic
the question I have: if they spent 90m on a movie and shooting almost all of it, why totally cancel it? wouldn't it be less of a loss if they just released it on streaming services? idk but anything seems better than literally flushing 90 million dollars down the toilet
Because Warner Bros is dumb. I've heard people say that the movie sounded awful and would have tarnished the brand, but that wouldn't have mattered. Nothing is going to tarnish the Batman brand. NOTHING. We had Batman and Robin. We have decades of jokes about Batman being in... um... a relationship with at least one of the Robins. We had the Snyder films. None of those hurt the brand, so there's nothing Batgirl could have done.
Instead, the chose to write the movie off on their taxes, because when you are one of the biggest studios in Hollywood for some reason, you can just do that.
It must have been shit. Also if you want to create a profitable venture you stop the bleeding and start with some good stuff going forward and not try to earn from shit movies with a near future mindset.
@@ScooterinAB why release a terrible movie and ruin ur already tarnished reputation
batgirl is not a original member of the justice league so if wb will proceed with the original member cancelling batgirl is a good thing his too early to be in a live action movie
Could you do a continuation of your x men universe?
They cancelled Green Lantern Corps? That's very dumb idea.
I think that rather than comparing new gods to IW, it'd better fit comparing it to Thor Ragnarok, seeing as how they are both preludes to the main event
This all sounded good except for one thing. Personally I’d rather eat dog shit than watch a joker vs Harley movie.
Okay why does dc have more canceled movies than movies that came true.
Wonder Woman 3 was the only Wonder Woman movie that was cancelled
I wonder if Robert Patterson would’ve played a good night wing. Maybe Zac Efron
I’m super pissed off at the batgirl cancellation.
Hmm yes lore of the DCEU momentum 100
So basically the DC extended universe was such a mess that they had to cancel so many in progress movies to save their reputation, especially when all of those details you stated could've make it a hit like the MCU, it kind of doesn't make sense and doesn't sound fair to me. The MCU had some of movies themselves, but they didn't cancel them and their reputation is still great, I just don't see much of a reason for the DCEU to cancel more movies than they released. Okay, maybe I'm saying a lot and I'm being a bit negative on their decisions, but I think you understand what I'm trying to say.
Brainiac in the second Superman movie? Idk bout that one chief, I'd save it for much later and have Luthor be heavy in the story
When Superman 2 comes out 🫡
I’m hoping now that James gunn has taken a kevin feige like role in the dceu it will get better
This isn’t even all of them
Que tal un video en donde las películas de marvel de 2000 son un universo cinematográfico haber como lo adaptarlas hasta 2022
Come on dc i feel y’all can pull this together
You forgot crisis on infinte earths
Man the canceled movie in the dceu better than the the actual dceu movies
Trinston was here. .
I want to see a video where DC has to make a cinematic universe without their heavy hitters (like marvel) so they dont have access to Batman, Superman, Wonder Women, or Flash/Green lantern
What would DCs cinematic universe look like then?
Nicholas cage in a fucking superman costumeeee
So many cool DC shows and movies canceled just so we could see WB fumble its way through the movie universe like a blind kid on a football field and pat themselves on the back like they're accomplishing something.
Wasn't there supposed to be a DCEU Green Arrow movie the show was finishing up and they wanted something probably something to do with the Rebirth reboot in the comics too?
You gotta make a video on the canceled batman year one movie that Darren Aronofsky was gonna make
The saddest canceled movie is probably the Blue Beetle/Booster Gold buddy cop
One day will get it I'd love the blue and gold comic were booster tries to go back and save ted from being killed
I was just thinking the same thing, it’s legitimately tragic we never got that
I was waiting for it and just forgot about it ;(
Starring Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk
oh fuck I thought it wasn't cancelled
