Should they make a spin-off film first?


Until they get a new Batman and Superman, they could do expanded universe styled films centered on other teams like Justice League Dark or The Outsiders. Or hell, at least a Teen Titans movie. Evidently they're planning a friggin Justice Society movie.

Doesn't "Aquaman" count as a spin-off film?

Heh, guess you're right. Wrong word. Okay, like another team-up movie but something different from the classic lineup.

While it's still a interconnected universe (The Superman cameo in Shazam), DC and WB have no plans to throw these characters on the screen in the same film for a while will just focus on stand alone films

Yeah I figured as much.

My idea: Shazam and Green Lantern team up movie. Green Lantern is an iconic character, but I think the superpower and overall story arc is too silly to be integrated into Batman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman traditional style superhero story.

Green Lantern is too nonsensical and comical. Great for comicbooks but terrible as live-action movies, as proven by the last Green Lantern movie. I mean, his weakness is the color yellow! Perfect fit for Shazam, and maybe also Ezra Miller's Flash (if he's still with WB.)

Imagine those three stooges, Shazam, dumb Flash and yellowphobic Green Lantern in a movie together. Hillarity ensues!
