12 Iconic Story-Lines DC Film Universe Must Adapt Next

5. All-Star Superman

Tower Of Babel would make sense for the DC Cinematic Universe as its been so far, with Man Of Steel making for a much more morally (and visually) grey Superman that many audiences were used to. A story where Batman is technically the bad guy would certainly fit into that mould. But it'd be way more refreshing, inventive, and valuable if Zack Snyder did a complete about-face when he finally gets around to making a proper Man Of Steel sequel. All-Star Superman is a very apposite title, since it's almost certainly the greatest story ever told about the Last Son Of Krypton. Intended to be a love letter to all that was great about the character in his 75 year history, writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely took into account all iterations of Superman €“ cheesy and grounded, gritty and sunny, sci-fi and superhero €“ to create the ultimate Superman. It's a celebration of all things Superman, involving Lex Luthor's imprisonment, Lois Lane spending a day with superpowers, and the Man Of Steel making preparations for the Earth's safety after finding out he's slowly dying. That's probably a little too definitive an ending for a sequel but the rest is gold, showing a Superman sorely missing from Man Of Steel €“ one who takes the time to both fight alien invasions and convince a depressed teen not to jump off a building.
