3. Multiversity

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.
