Suggestions for DC Classic Original Movies

What would you like to see released under the "DC Classic Original Movie" imprint? Some ideas of my own:

- Wonder Woman '77 (suggested by many others)
- The Adventures of Superman (Superman '52; the George Reeves era)
- The Fleischer Studios Superman (based on the animated shorts)
- Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil (adapting the Matt Smith miniseries)
- Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew
- Batman and the Monster Men (adapting the Matt Wagner mini)
- Batman and the Mad Monk (adapting the Matt Wagner mini)
- The New Teen Titans: Games (adapting the graphic novel by Marv Wolfman & George Perez)

And, bringing it full-circle:

- Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77 (adapting the mini)

I've yet to see a mission statement for this line; I don't know whether the intention is only for animated movies based on television and (maybe) movie adaptations. The imprint does seem to want to remain family-friendly.

More ideas for DC Classics movies:

An animated movie based on an original Superman novel. Some suggestions:
- The Adventures of Superman by George Lowther (1942; the first novel based on a comic book)
- Superman: The Last Son of Krypton by Elliot S! Maggin (1978)
- Superman: Miracle Monday by Elliot S! Maggin (1981)
- It's Superman! by Tom De Haven (2005; a period piece set in the 1930s)

Adapt the original "Monster Society of Evil" story-arc that ran in Captain Marvel Adventures #22-46 (from 1943 to 1945).

An animated movie based on the Superman radio show. The series even managed to guest-star Batman & Robin.

Adapt a story from one of the Superman or Batman chapter serials or adapt or make a sequel to the Captain Marvel serial.

Possibly my most ambitious notion: A multi-part serial similar to CW Seed's Vixen animated series but structured more like the old chapter serials--cliff-hangers, deathtraps and all. It could team Superman (based on Kirk Alyn) with Batman & Robin (designed after either Lewis Wilson & Douglas Croft or Robert Lowery & Johnny Duncan) against Hugo Strange developing his Monster Men formula (for the Nazis or 'foreign powers'?); or Doctor Death and the Ultra-Humanite (Batman and Superman's first supervillains) might be working together. Supporting characters could include Lois Lane (based on the late Noel Neill), Jimmy Olsen and either Vicki Vale or Julie Madison. The whole thing could run for around 90 minutes and could be serialized on CW Seed before it is collected on DVD and Blu-ray disc. Taking a cue from Justice League Action, the individual chapters might be 11 minutes long.
