9. Supergirl
There was an Easter Egg in Man of Steel which definitely seemed to be an indication that Supergirl exists in this new DC Cinematic Universe. If that is indeed the case, a movie starring Clark Kent’s Kryptonian cousin could be something truly special. The recent TV outing for the character has done very well, so a big screen version should be on the cards…
The key difference is that Kara arrives on Earth as a young adult, and if it was marketed to both comic book fans and The Hunger Games/Divergent crowd, it would likely launch a huge new franchise (just imagine if they cast Jennifer Lawrence…). Having not been brought up on Earth, everything is new to Supergirl, and seeing our world through her eyes would be a refreshing storytelling approach.
There are also plenty of stories they could choose to adapt – without the need for Superman – all of which would be great.
