I LOVE the New Gods idea and would pee myself if we ever had any New Gods. Doom Patrol (Morrison) could be so incredibly cool, bizarre, and kinda like X-Men but different. Dial H is a no-brainer too. Dial H wouldn't work... everyone under 40 would say it was a ripoff of Ben 10 and dismiss it. Sadly, the same would be true of Tim Hunter, which I think would great... especially the fairy stuff  I would LOVE to see an AMC style TV show based on Mike Carey's Lucifer.. that would be EPIC. Sandman Mystery Theatre could be a cool period piece.. maybe BBC produced? They also MUST make a DVD-direct animated movie of the Judas contract one of these days.. the version of the story on the Cartoon Network show was actually decent (considering what they had to work with) but I want a REAL version |

All the new stuff I've heard in the works is for new52 relevant material-part of the corporate synergy Diane Nelson hammered to the editorial offices in her recent visit to the NY DC offices. I think the window for them to possibly do Judas Contract has passed, it doesn't fit their business plan any longer, which is only to do stories properties that are evergreen books (Dark Knight, Year One, etc.) or current comics releases (Flashpoint, Justice League War, Son of Batman, Throne of Atlantis). So I highly doubt you will see any stories from DC's back catalog adapted, let alone a version of Teen Titans that is 2-3 iterations behind the current version. -M |

What I'd like to see DC do is do up a little more along the action/thriller genre and move away form super-heroes a little bit. Do an Unknown Soldier flick with a Bourne type vibe, introduce Amanda Waller at the end recruiting him for Task Force X, do that as a sequel bringing in like Bronze Tiger, Rick Flagg, in a Dirty Dozen/Expendables feeling flick, filled with seat of the pants action, then for the third, do a series of vignettes showing a couple of DC heroes in action capturing villains in the opening title sequence, then have those villains get recruited by Waller and the Unknown Soldier for a full blown Suicide Squad type flick. Skirt the super-hero action, give yourself some building blocks, but just do a series of balls-to-the-walls type action flicks where the protagonists can operate in some shades of gray, throw in some classic action flick one-liners and comic relief and just entertain with an action blockbuster or three in he DC Universe. You can then use Task Force X and its overseer Checkmate as the glue to build a DC cinematic universe around using those hero/villain vignettes to whet people's appetites for what's to come instead of having people rolling their eyes at all of the ways the Superman/Batman route could fail and blow up in WB's face.

That sounds great to me.
I think WB is missing a huge opportunity not capitalizing on the Vertigo imprint as a rated R movie line up.
