User blog:DonaldoC1997/A new take on the DC Cinematic Universe

Considering how complicated and confusing the DCEU has became since the early films till today, Coolot and I crafted a little alternate scenario of a different take on the DCEU while trying to get a coherent continuity and the tones of each movies being set according to their characters.

Basic points

 * The universe is split into two kinds of installments: the main ones, focusing on the Justice League and its members, and the spin-offs, those being mainly side stories.
 * The Justice League in this continuity is formed by Superman (Kal-El/Clark Kent), Batman (Bruce Wayne), Wonder Woman (Diana of Themyiscira/Diana Prince), The Flash (Barry Allen), Green Lantern (Jessica Cruz), Aquaman (Orin/Arthur Curry) and Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders).
 * Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman are already-established heroes while the Flash, Green Lantern and Hawkgirl are relatively new and slightly inexperienced heroes.
 * Batman is shown to be the one with a longer experience as he already had a relatively decent sized rogues gallery and three sidekicks so far before the events of the first movie, with the first Robin and later Nightwing (Dick Grayson) and Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) going independent and the second Robin (Jason Todd) being murdered by the Joker and then ressurrected as Red Hood, with Julia Pennyworth then becoming the Oracle.
 * The Suicide Squad in this continuity is formed by Deadshot (Floyd Lawton), Captain Boomerang (George "Digger" Harkness), Harley Quinn (Dr. Harleen Quinzel), Killer Frost (Louise Lincoln), Bronze Tiger (Benjamin Turner), Sportsmaster (Lawrence "Crusher" Crock) and Plastique (Bette Sans Souci).
 * The Doom Patrol in this continuity is formed by the Chief (Niles Caulder), Mento (Steve Dayton), Elasti-Girl (Rita Farr), Robotman (Cliff Steele), Negative Man (Larry Trainor), Beast Boy (Garfield Logan) and Space Case (Casey Brinke).
 * Young Justice in this continuity is formed by Orphan (Cassandra Cain), Superboy (Kon-El/Conner Kent), Cyborg (Victor Stone), Impulse (Bart Allen), Aqualad (Garth), Arrowette (Artemis Crock), Princess Amethyst and Jinny Hex.
 * To avoid copyright issues with Marvel Comics (who also owns a character named Captain Marvel) and indirectly mentioning its rival publisher, Billy's hero name is simply known as Shazam.
