Superman and Wonder Woman Head Up Five Stories DC Ought to Make Into Movies

The DC Universe animated feature film program has been one of the consistently best things DC Entertainment has had going for it for the last several years.In spite of getting off to an impressively bad start with a film version of the Death of Superman that both failed to capture the spirit and energy of the comics and also simplified the source material so much that it no longer made a lick of sense, the films have been on the upswing ever since, with Wonder Woman and Green Lantern getting well-reviewed original feature films and stories like The New Frontier and Batman: Year One being beautifully adapted into stylized movies with all-star voice casts.Ever since they announced a two-part adaptation of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, reportedly to be followed by Flashpoint, it’s become hard to tell whether the line (now being handled by Warner Animation following the shuttering of the Warner Premiere imprint that had distributed the films previously) will move forward into the New 52 or continue to, as it has in the past, retell some of the best stories of DC’s recent past.We’ve got some ideas, though, about what movies we’d like to see. Let us know what YOU think in the comments or on Facebook.Superman/Wonder Woman: Immortal BelovedThis one might be tricky to pull off right now,w ith DC seemingly determined to play down the Lois and Clark relationship…but one of the great Superman/Wonder Woman stories of all time certainliy seems like something that could be addressed in the next year or so, before the shine is off the apple and the couple’s relationship is relegated to the scrapheap of comics history.The story, written by Joe Kelly (whose work also inspired the recent Superman vs. The Elite), features Superman and Wonder Woman kidnapped and brought to an alternate dimension where they fight alongside in a war between gods and monsters for a thousand years. Over that time, Superman’s dedication to Lois is tested…but comes out unscathed as he never submits to Wonder Woman’s not-insubstantial sex appeal. It’s one of the great love stories ever written into any superhero’s mythology, and features some great character moments for Superman.
