10 Films DC Should Make Instead Of A Joker/Harley Rom-Com

5. Batman Beyond

Now here's a good way to change things up with the Batman franchise: throw it into the future.

A way to keep the superhero genre fresh and interesting is to allow each property the chance to be different, and also allow each film to be it's own beast. Something new, different, instead of following the number of the superhero movie.

And with the Batman franchise, what could be done to keep it fresh and interesting: well, how about throwing the focus away from Bruce Wayne and head to the cyberpunk future of Batman Beyond.

Think of making a superhero movie in a Blade Runner-style setting with hard sci-fi elements and social/political commentary on the current world we live in.

It would be bold, fresh and the chance to really create something that is visually unique in the superhero lexicon of movies.
