The Cadmus Arc should be made into a movie

HOLY *beep* that Arc was probably the best in any kid's cartoon, on pair of some the anime I watched.

Luthor was at his very best in this arc, a true menacing villain who literally stayed behind the curtains that manipulated everyone like puppets. And his very attitude transcends any cartoon I've seen, that "are you going to fight me boy" to Wally west carries so much weight, it was condescending, insulting and at same time shows luthoriac just doesn't give a *beep* about the heros anymore, he made himself a God.

And the comeback from Wally was priceless, flashy who was destined to die by Luthor turns out to be the very person that defeats him (talking about irony). Through out the whole season Wally was seen as comic relief but good lord he is strong when he gets truly serious.

The Arc had massive build up, mature themes, incredibly good character development and everything you wish for a great comic book movie!

I kinda disagree with the whole movie concept.

One of the things that made the cadmus arc so great was that it was able to be told over a longer period of time. It covered most of the season (and even retconned all the way back to the Superman animated series). A movie really wouldn't do it justice (no pun intended) the way the show did.

Can't stop the signal.

Probably a trilogy like the dark knight works. First light hearted on luthor and his misbehavings then gradually progress to dark story arc of the Cadmus.
