10 Ways Joker's Origin Movie Could Completely Change The DCEU

3. Multiversity

DC Comics

Okay, this is where things get a tad abstract (if they weren't so already), but, if you're into your time travel, your inter-dimensional story telling and all the rest of it, then Multiversity has to be something that DC get to later down the line.

The brainchild of Grant Morrison, the actual Multiversity comic book is perhaps the most meta comic series to have ever been printed, but its premise is so genius, so fantastic and so uncanny, that a film based on the storyline would make for a story equally as magnetic.

Basically, an otherworldly being is trashing the multiverse, and each individual issue takes place on a specific 'Earth'. We see different versions of iconic DC characters, including the Superman of Earth-23 (AKA the best alternate Superman out there), rally together to tackle this threat and the pay-off is so rewarding. The groups communicate through actual comic books (a great start already), and the book - as a whole - is just one big love-letter to the DC Multiverse as it then existed.

It'll probably never happen, but, if DC truly are going all-in with the idea of there being a cinematic multiverse - one replete with the company's entire history - then there's no other book best poised to tackle it.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
