10 DC Comics That Would Make Perfect Animated Films

10. Kingdom Come

During the 1990’s Image Comics was on the come up. They were a premiere spot for darker comics that featured anti-heroes and gritty realism. In other words, Image was stealing all of DC comics' thunder.

In response to this trend, Mark Waid paired with the famous illustrator Alex Ross to create a story critical of this nihilistic approach to heroism. At that moment, Kingdom Come was born. It’s a story about the philosophy of being superhuman, and the role heroes play in the lives of regular, everyday people. Superman is the central character, but DC’s entire trinity figures prominently in this story.

The whole premise is begging for an adaptation. Of all the iconic works under the DC umbrella, this is the graphic novel fans are waiting for the most.

The studios adapted other series that aren’t nearly as compelling as this novel. It’s time for the animators and writers over there to give this story a look. Kingdom Come can remind everyone what these heroes are supposed to represent and what happens to flawed ideals in the face of war.
