Rules:
What would you do?
As of right now, Chapter One of the DCU (Gods and Monsters) is set to have the projects in the attached link: https://www.reddit.com/r/DC_Cinematic/comments/1l8durh/every_confirmed_dcu_project_in_development/
However, there are no projects regarding superheroes such as the Flash, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman/Hawkgirl, Green Arrow, Plastic Man, John Constantine, Zatanna, you get the idea.
Opinion Part:
I think that Chapter Two should be titled "Men, Myths, and Legends," opening with Martian Manhunter in ~2030, the Flash before 2033, and either Plastic Man or Green Arrow in 2035, depending on who James Gunn wants in the Justice League. The Chapter should use the Paradise Lost series as the basis for the other heroes, seeing as their powers have mythological/supernatural roots.
Sample timeline for Chapter Two:
Questions:
If Wally were the Flash, would he start out as Kid Flash, or be the Flash straight out the gate?
If Barry were the Flash, would you have either 1) his mother died and his archnemesis is the Reverse Flash or 2) his mother is alive (classic Silver Age/pre-2009 origin) and his archnemesis is Cobalt Blue/Rogues Gallery
Also, hot take: If we got Jay Garrick as the main Flash to start out, it would be weird/cool if he had Barry as Kid Flash. Not comic accurate, but.... interesting (I think? I'm not in love with it, but eh.)
Reason 1: Venom
The Venom storyline has been done multiple times in media. While Peter may have the suit in Spider-Man 5 and 6, it won't be quite as central to the plot due to being overdone. The only way to have Venom and be unique is to use the fact it's Tom Hardy's Venom, and have the two actually work together in a positive relationship like in Venom War.
Reason 2: One More Day
As much as the Clone Saga is infamous, One More Day was also criticized. The latter was however, adapted in No Way Home, one of the best Spider-Man movies to date. It's entirely possible to do something similar with a revised Clone Saga.
Reason 3: Mentoring
Tom Holland has expressed an interest in mentoring a new person to take over as Spider-Man, similar to what RDJ did for him. He also said that if they rebooted the franchise again, he'd recommend Owen Cooper.
I'm sure most of us don't want another reboot of Spider-Man, and would rather just have the Spider Family (albeit smaller than in the comics and not multiversal per se)
Example titles
Spider-Man: Smoke and Mirrors
Spider-Man: Blood Brothers
Spider-Man: Scarlet Webs
The Spider-Men: Maximum Clonage
Ben Reily/Scarlet Spider
Miguel O'Hara/Spider-Man 2099
Amadeus Cho/Iron Spider (in a largely comic-accurate Iron Spider suit)
Mayday Parker/Spider-Girl (Mainstream, not Tobey or Andrew's kid who survived Secret Wars)
Cindy Moon/Silk
Pavitr Prabharkar/Spider-Man of India (like Avery Ho from DC as the Flash of China)
Or another variant, like Spyder-Knight.

This will be the cold open for the movie, except instead of just being on the planet, Cyclops is shooting a laser beam from his Earth like we see in the teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7Y3vnkKa98
Doom will be the person causing the Incursions to create Battleworld, which he would rule.
The reason the X-Men destroyed the Ramiverse is because they either don't know where Doom is and/or how to fight him.
Secret Wars takes place on Battleworld, created at the end of Avengers Doomsday, being ruled by Doctor Doom after convincing the Fantastic Four and/or the Avengers to give him Franklin Richards' powers to create a world where they survive.
After the events of Doomsday and Secret Wars, we get the main timeline (Earth-616), and all Marvel AND Sony projects exist there. We get no more than 2 "Elseworlds" films afterwards: TASM3 and Spider-Man 4.
The Fantastic Four will get three more solo movies, making a tetrilogy with First Steps. The X-Men and Fantastic Four will be the main focus, along with newer heroes and Spider-Man (Tom Holland).
The X-Men will be largely cast by a combination of their reboot actors and new actors.
Tom Holland's Spider-Man gets a new trilogy including Brand New Day, and appears in a third trilogy to hand off the title to Miles (protege in first movie, partner in second, main in third.) before he gets his own trilogy.
The Sony Spider-Man Universe is rebooted to be a part of the MCU, largely isolated but relevant to Marvel projects with Spider-Man. The new SSU projects have Spider-Man variants as a protagonist and in cameos. The Spider-Family will consist of Spider-Noir (from the series, set in the 1930s), Peter, Miles, Ben Reily (Scarlet Spider), potentially Peni Parker, Silk, and Miguel O'Hara.
The United Nations was created "to save succeeding generations from the "'scourge of war,'" but has since evolved to "maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve global cooperation, and harmonize international action." It has somewhat succeeded, but in regards with the strongest countries in the world and in the major regions, (the Americas, Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, Oceania) it has FAILED.
I'm not denying that the UN has it's merits, but it is broken. It was built to work with the world of 1945, but it has been over 80 years since. What now?
General changes
Option 1: It remains as is. It may be broken, but it's "the only thing we got that we know works."
Option 2: Abolish the UN entirely
Security council
Option 3: No more permanent seats.
Option 4: Added permanent seats: India, Brazil, African Union rep, Australia, Japan, Germany.
Option 5: Abolish the veto
Option 6: Make the veto a majority or supermajority.
General Assembly
Option 7: Replace the UN Secretary-General with a UN Prime Minister, elected by the General Assembly.
Option 8: Create a lower chamber of representatives democratically elected in each nation.
Option 9: Create a weighted voting system in the General Assembly.
Option 10: Make the General Assembly democratically elected.
Peacekeeping and enforcement
Option 11: Permanent UN military force
Option 12: Faster humanitarian intervention
Finances
Option 13: Global taxes (potentially optional, but permanent if agreed on)
Option 14: Budget transparency via auditing and streamlining agencies
United Nations Human Rights Council
Option 15: Stricter membership requirements
Option 16: Stronger enforcement tools
Option 17: Automatic suspension mechanisms
Climate and global crisis governance
Option 18: Create a Global Climate Authority
Option 19: Expand the Pandemic Response Agency
Reforming International Law and Courts
Option 20: Stronger sanctions enforcement and international anti-corruption courts
Regionalization/Multipolar Governance
Option 21: Evolve the UN into a federation of regional blocs (EU, AU, ASEAN, etc)
Option 22: Use regional governments as a main source of political power, largely using the UN for global coordination, peace talks, humanitarian aid, regulatory power (w/ federal checks and balances) and scientific research.
Feel free to send your own ideas and the options you agree with.
I was going through Wattpad to find some good Flash stuff, and I found this!
