Just about any “serious” comic movie without the silly humor. You know, like many of the comics.

I'm not sure how well it would translate into a movie but I'd love a Half Life movie trilogy that focused on Gordon, Alyx and Dr Vance. I'd want it done in non-chronological order. The start of the movie should be somewhere in Half Life 2 episode 1 that has a lot of flash backs that involve the original half life. There would be enough at the start to make the audience think "what the crap is going on" before we flash back to the begining.

Heck it could even be the G-man as the narrator through out the movie.

and its still amazing to this day If they combined all the phoenix saga and dark phoenix saga episodes into one long movie that would be awesome, but either way its better than anything else they've done recently

Agreed. I'd almost say that the "comic book movie" has become a genre of its own, and every comic based film has to be in that genre. It's why I have hopes for The Batman, as it looks to be more of a crime thriller similar to Se7en (although I doubt it'll be a true crime thriller). Either way, it does become tiresome seeing the same formula again and again.

I actually think it would be nice to see another animated series of the Legion, maybe a few movies that way.
Animated series or movies would be nice, but a big-budget FX movie would be awesome to me. If they want an effects-driven big screen franchise, that would be a good one. If there was a good reason to use 3D and IMAX it would be for movies like that. The United Planets in Legion would be like Star Trek, Star Wars etc. There's just so much to cover.

More possible is "Wonder Girl" or "Wonders" with Donna, Cassie, Yara and Artemis to fill out Diana's supporting cast.
It's hard to wish for any classic versions of the characters these days but Power Girl would be great. Who knows what version of Supergirl we will get in the Flash movie, but she doesn't look to be a well-known classic version. We're getting multiverse versions of characters (possibly made up for the movie) when many of the classic versions haven't even been established yet.

Would be great to see Donna and Cassie etc. but I don't count on WB to expand on these supporting characters. It's not like they give us well fleshed-out classic versions of the villains either e.g. Maxwell Lord and Cheetah.

The multiverse was more like a way to cover their inconsistencies rather than to expand and build on classic characters like in the comics.

I want to see that Amazons movie but I worry they might go into completely different direction than expected (see WW84) and not give us the characters and mythology that we know.

I agree. When they see what's popular, they keep doing it. WB will be like, "Hey, Aquaman made a billion dollars. Let's keep doing that" meaning we will get more of that light stuff, lighter versions of the characters. The Batman and I guess the new Superman could be exceptions. But (since I follow DC more) I dread that the DCEU will go from one extreme (i.e. Batman v Superman) to the other.

They need to do a really good non animated Castle Vania film. The animated one is good but I imagine how awesome a live action film with all the myriad of monsters along with a decent script could be.
