10 DC Comics That Would Make Perfect Animated Films

7. JLA: Rock Of Ages

Superman Kingdom Come
DC Comics

Speaking of Darkseid, another great series involving his presence is Justice League’s Rock of Ages story. Grant Morrison is one of the greatest living comic book writers, and this is one of his most epic adventures.

For the Justice League to validate their existence, something significant needs to threaten humanity. Otherwise, the team-up feels pointless. Rock of Ages delivers on that threat and then doubles it. Villains abound in this novel and tons of challenges put our heroes at risk of failing their mission. It’s an intense battle from start to finish, and anyone who reads Rock of Ages has a hard time putting it down.

So take all of that information and now imagine it as an animated film. The possibilities are limitless. High stakes battles and deep character building awaits the team of creators who adapt this into their next project. It’s really only a matter of time until it happens. Elements of this story already appear in other films, so why not go all the way?
