Whatever Happened to the Plastic Man Film? Here’s 3 of His Best Stories

DC DCEU Green Arrow WBD Blackhawks DCU Amazon Gail Simone The Fantastic Four DC Comics

The former DCEU film studios, now DCU under WBD, never knew what they were doing. They would squander a lot of fan goodwill from 2011’s Green Lantern to the present day. The former DCEU announced several films that were supposed to go into future production, but never did. We never got a Cyborg, Nightwing, Green Lanterns, or Green Arrow film. Steven Spielberg supposedly got a green light to direct a Blackhawks film. We also never got the long-promised Plastic Man film.

Several years ago, the DCEU announced that Steven Spielberg was going to direct a film based on the BlackHawks, an obscure WWII-based DC comic from the 1940s that was also forgotten. I know that many films on James Gunn’s Gods and Monsters slate will not happen now. Still, I am one of many comic book fans having a hard time accepting that the Plastic Man film will probably never happen.
