Since it's my birthday, I'm gonna share what I came up with for if I was in charge of a DC Cinematic Universe. I don't have full ideas for every single films synopsis, but I have a lot of ideas written down and I'm tired of writing movie pitch plots for different superheroes.
Unplanned Sequels May Spring Up as needed.

Phase 1
  • Superman
    • A well established Superman must work with his long-time rival Lex Luthor to journey into space and rescue the city of Metropolis after it is stolen by the villainous Brainiac. And they only have a limited time to do it before Brainiac’s drones finish cataloguing all of the Earth’s information and destroy the planet.
  • Batman and Robin
    • Bruce Wayne adopts the recently orphaned **** Grayson, and both discover each other’s origin stories and come together as Batman and Robin to take on Mr. Freeze.
  • Wonder Woman
    • Wonder Woman in the modern era must reconcile with her past as a hero of World War II and return to Themyscira after decades of exile Circe begins twisting mans world to her liking.
  • The Flash
    • A cinematic adaptation of Barry Allen’s origin and his fight against the Reverse-Flash as he establishes himself in Central City and takes on the mantel of the World War II hero to combat the rising Metahuman criminal activity in his city and find the man who murdered his mother.
  • Green Lantern Corps
    • Hal Jordan and John Stewart are inducted into a special squad of Lanterns by the Guardians of the Universe to travel to the home planet of fellow Green Lantern Sinestro and depose him after he uses his powers to take over the planet.
  • Aquaman
  • Martian Manhunter
    • Based on Steve Orlando’s run of the character from 2018, J’onn J’onzz is the last survivor of a Martian genocide and finds himself on Earth living the life of human John Jones thanks to his shapeshifting powers. Working as a police detective in Middleton, Colorado with his partner Diane Mede, J’onn must use his powers to rescue a girl named Ashley Adams from the mysterious Vulture gang and solve the murder of her parents, while discovering things about himself along the way.
  • Justice League: The Brave and the Bold
    • A film telling the origin story of the formation of the Justice League, based on the original origin in the comic series “The Brave and the Bold” featuring the Justice League teaming up to face off against the alien villain Starro. Snapper Carr is featured, as are the original seven founding members of the League. Unlike the original story, Amanda Waller and ARGUS have a background presence as secondary antagonists.
  • Doom Patrol
    • A group of people who should have been killed by their freak accidents are gathered together and given a second chance thanks to the super-science of Niles Caulder, AKA The Chief. Now a group of misfits and freaks, Elasti-Girl, Robotman, Negative Man, Mento, and Beast Boy must find common ground and journey back out into the world that shunned them to stop an immortal Nazi soldier from gaining the power of a downed alien spacecraft.
  • Shazam
    • In a retelling of Billy Batson’s origin (hopefully actually using the Captain Marvel name because DC DOES actually still use it sometimes in publications, just not in the titles of the comics or movies) he is given his powers by the Wizard Shazam after taking a mysterious subway car in Fawcett City to defeat Black Adam when he returns from his exile. Eventually learning the power of found family and defeating the evil wizard by teaming up with his foster brothers and sisters and sharing his powers with them.
  • Static Shock
    • An origin story of Static taking elements from the original Milestone run, DCAU cartoon series, and Earth-M relaunch. Static rises as a community driven hero in Dakota City after the Big Bang, using the original version from the comics and TV Show featuring gang warfare and police violence. BLM is something Vergil only gets involved in AFTER he becomes a hero and learns to be more altruistic, a theme of the original stories. The main villain is his arch enemy from the cartoon, Ebon.
  • Zatanna
    • In our first real dive into DC’s mystic side, Zatanna sees the titular hero in her debut solo film caring for her aging father Zatara and dealing with untrained magic users wreaking havoc with spells and artifacts improperly obtained and used. Leading her to discovering things about her own heritage and her own powers she never knew before.
Phase 2
  • Superman 2
    • Another survivor from Krypton! Superman’s long lost cousin Kara Zor-El arrives on Earth after an unexpected delay and takes up the mantel of Supergirl. Unfortunately, a bounty has been placed on the head of both Kryptonians and is being pursued by the Czarnian Lobo. The man who can not be killed and with a knack for over-the-top violence.

Apon arrival however, he ends up in the laboratory of established hero Ted Kord, a.k.a. The Blue Beetle, and he decides to worm his way into Kord’s latest case.

J’onn and co. are put on trial and must answer for the crimes of his past in exchange for their freedom.
  • Justice League 3: Tower of Babel
    • Batman is known for being prepared for anything. This includes having contingency plans intended for taking out his allies in the Justice League if they should ever turn rogue. Unfortunately, those plans have been stolen by the villainous Ra’s Al Ghul and dolled out to some of the League’s greatest enemies! Can the League outwit traps straight from the mind of the caped crusader and stop the dreaded Legion of Doom! Also featuring the death of Jason Todd.
  • Justice Society of America
    • The Justice League with a wartime twist. Set during World War II, a group of superheroes of that time are deployed overseas to assist soldiers and increase morale.

your mom
Honestly, I've been loving the amount of variety they've been giving to Pokemon in recent Gens. All the new ones may be getting a ton of random alternate forms, but at the same time, older mons are getting all these cool new alternate forms as well. It's really nice to see.
It's crazy how they took one of the worst gen 1 Pokémon and gave it one of the best cross-gen evolutions of all time, I love Annihilape so much

I saw an Altaria one that's a rabbit. Don't have it on me right now but it was so good and I don't even like Altaria
I did see this one yesterday but can’t find it now.I thought swabu looked to similar, but altaria had neat little changes like a more rabbit like face which was cool.

A few weeks ago, I participated in a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online tournament hosted by Nintendo of Australia. I got randomly selected to win this tote bag:

Yeah Persona 3 portable was not a good port.
I still mostly had fun with the game, but man the grind and the limitations do hold it back a bit

but a major benefit is not having “The Answer” to go through gameplay wise

Left 4 Dead 2 is still fun, but I can't help wonder if Back 4 Blood's improved at all in the time and updates since it's release. Maybe I should still consider buyi-

-The devs just announced that the game isn't getting any new updates

...So much for that.

The sequel is pretty fun yeah, more mindscrewy though but there's an unlockable thingy at the very end that makes me want tp cry tears of joy. It isn't story related so don't worry about spoilers
Okay, I'll get it later this year! I just need get through some of my backlog, particularly Splatoon 3 and Assassin's Creed 2.

Just a shower thought, but chainsaws may genuinelly be the least scary "murder weapon". They're unwieldy, somewhat heavy, loud as hell, take a while to operate, and it is completely useless if it runs of fuel. It's arguably more dangerous for the user than any victim, and considering all that, you can just outrun the murderer, no way they can go full speed lugging that around.

True, but if they wanted to or had the arm strength, they could swing it to cut you open if they want

Counterpoint


They're incredibly slow and painful things to be killed by. Horror movies and stuff like anime embellish how fast Chainsaws cut through humans.

The chainsaw always comes with luck +100 though, making it impossible for the victim to not randomly fall while running away, allowing the chainsaw to catch up to them.
Holy **** this post showed up in my Twitter feed and I was floored.

Strong Badam Strong Badam how does it feel to be the only Smashboards user to amount to anything
I saw this to, but didn’t realize that was strong badman, I didn’t read the account name. Thought it was pretty cool though.
