8. Justice Society of America

Joe Johnston has directed two superhero movies that I could watch on repeat with a huge smile on my face: The Rocketeer, and Captain America: the First Avenger. Both are fun, enjoyable films based in or around the Second World War. Both are loving tributes to comics of the era, with a charming sense of earnestness that doesn’t feel overly goofy.

If we could get a Justice Society of America movie in that milieu, I would be happy as an un-shucked oyster.

The JSA were DC’s original big superteam, composed of wartime heroes like Hourman, Starman and Sandman. The JSA’s story is a perfect analysis of heroics and the fall of American idealism after World War II. The natural end of the movie (HUAC disbanding the JSA because of the red scare) is suitably sobering and perfect to give a JSA movie a point other than generic wartime adventures.

But again, the JSA would be a perfect way to expand the DCEU into the past in a fun way.
