I always worry when classic comic storylines are adapted to live action or animated movies.
Can you inject the same emotions and depth into a two hour (or less) movie that is equal to a comic storyline that maybe took months or even years to set up?

Batgirl Rising
It was announced a few days ago that Joss Whedon will be directing an upcoming Batgirl solo movie as part of the DC Comics Extended Universe.
One of the rumors is that the story will be based on Gail Simone’s run on the Batgirl comics during the New 52.
Who Reads the Watchmen?
The original miniseries was published in 1986-1987 and created by the British super team of Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins.
Moore’s original story idea was to use characters from the newly acquired Charlton Comics.
NIghtwing: Savior of the DCEU?
It was just announced a few hours ago that Warner Brothers is planning a Nightwing movie to be directed by Lego Batman movie director Chris McKay.
I think they can if they incorporate some of the following things.
Batman Domination
Why is Batman in any form of media so popular?
Even a movie of a toy version of the caped crusader dominates the box office.
Superman: Truth, Justice, and Hope
We live in a time where we don’t know what a hero is or who to look at for inspiration.
Superman was created as the ultimate American immigrant.
Deathstroke (Why Is He Worthy To Be Batman's Newest Cinematic Adversary?)
Quickly rising through the ranks, Slade eventually submitted himself to experiments the government was performing to create super soldiers.
Slade would gain enhanced physical abilities, including superhuman speed, strength, endurance, reflexes, and a powerful healing factor.
Hanging with the Hood (Is Jason Todd leadership material?)
In my opinion the Red Hood we see in this book is the best interpretation we've seen since the New 52, maybe the best ever.
I think Jason has matured a little but still kept his edge.
The Cinematography of the DCEU
His style is dark with bright color. Superman’s suit is brighter, the tone is different with that.
From what we can see it is bright but still shows color and still has a grey tint.
Suicide Squad Thoughts
We have seen the reports that Jared Leto has said he is unhappy with the Joker scenes that were cut, That he filmed enough for a Joker movie.
The Legacy of Superman
That is the feeling of hope and excitement that Superman should create.
The character has stood for generations as a symbol of hope and inspiration.
Harley Quinn (Queen of crime or DC's Deadpool)
It could be argued that Harley wasn't evil but was just led astray by a (very) bad influence.
Harley has so many different versions of her costume now, in just about any colors you can think of.
Superman & the Modern World
Is Superman more than a character of fiction?
Is that odd for a character of fiction to be seen this way?
2016--The Year of Batman (Dawn of Justice & Rebirth)
Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman faced a powerful foe this past weekend.
The story here will revolve around a team consisting of Batman, Batwoman, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Cassandra Cain, and…Clayface?
Wonder Woman: The Saving Grace of DC Comics
A strong, smart and beautiful female character who is part of the core identity of the company.
Wonder Woman can and has stood toe to toe with Batman and Superman.
Superman & Tyler Patrick
Superman has been around for more than 75 years, he was the first superhero the icon, the ideal that all other heroes are held to.
This is why I love Superman, he represents the good we should strive to be, the hope for change, The Man of Tomorrow.
