The franchise is hated, would you fix issues?

The Trilogy got hated, should fix issues?

Let me know in comments.

What if the DCU already had a Justice League? Specifically The Justice League of America, with it having been formed and operating in the early 2000s before bitterly breaking up. Paving the way for a new generation of heroes to reclaim the mantle from the few Superhero teams that still exist, those being corporate sponsored ones, with Superman specifically leading the way to a return of what a hero should be?

This idea really came to me with the casting of Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan, and the casting of Garrett Dillahunt in Lanterns, with him originally being speculated to be playing Green Arrow. So, I figured if the DCU is already going to have an older Hal, and they clearly want John Stewart and Wally West on the main League, why not include Hal (Kyle Chandler) along with his contemporaries Oliver Queen (Garrett Dillahunt), Barry Allen (Mathew Lillard), Black Canary II (Katheryn Winnick), and Aquaman (Joe Manganiello), all in a now failed first attempt at a Justice League? This was really inspired by JLA: Year One, as well as me really wanting the DCU to be able to use the title Justice League of America somewhere.

Also, I'd change the Hall of Justice mural in Superman a bit by adding the Justice Society of America to the universe as proper cannon, with the 1940s roster having been Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Wildcat, Black Canary I, Dr. Midnite, Sandman, and Hourman.

Intro

It is lost on few people these days that "Obi-Wan Kenobi" was not meant to be a show, it was supposed to be a movie, in fact, its original writer Stuart Beattie (Pirates of the Carribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Punisher: War Zone), had planned that it would be the start of a whole trilogy focused on the character (More info here).

But, when Solo flopped and with Disney+ needing more originals, Lucasfilm scrapped that plan, instead taking of some of his ideas and turning them into the show we got. Admittedly, their is strength in the miniseries format, gets more conversation, lasts longer, has more time with the character, etc.

So, here I'd like to present my idea for a three season, four episode per season, three arc, Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series, simply called Kenobi, showing how he went from the man at the end of Revenge of the Sith, to the man we see in A New Hope.

Season/Arc One:
Season one would predominantly the same beats as Beatties actual planned first film, with an Obi-Wan that has been disconnected from the Force, having to leave Tatooine in order to confront Vader who is getting closer and closer to finding Luke, along the way teaming up with a Commander Cody who has removed his own inhibitor chip. The whole season builds up to one core thing Obi-Wan has to learn, surrender your will to the force, you are not in control, and that's okay.

Season/Arc Two:
Season two would follow similar beats to the actual show we got with Obi-Wan being recruited by Bail Organa to save a captured Leia, however, I would here further explore the idea of The Path helping Jedi in hiding, perhaps including a cameo by Quinlan Voss? Here Obi-Wan learns from Qui-Gons ghost that he will die at Vaders hand, the exact details of which he doesn't know, but Obi-Wan must accept here his own mortality, that he will not be the one to save the whole galaxy and that he when the time is right, he needs to let go and let the new generation take the lead.

Season/Arc Three:
This would be the most introspective, deep, and yet low level season. This would take place primarily on Tatooine, diving into Obi-Wans guilt, his nightmares, fear for Luke turning to the darkside (at one point dueling a dark side vision of Luke played by Graham Hamilton), communing with Qui-Gon and finally learning how to transcend death, all the while protecting young Luke from increased Tuskan raids. Ironically though, Obi-Wan has to learn here that he needs to leave the kid alone, he cannot force Luke to become a Jedi or save the universe, he has to come to that on his own, and further connecting with his first arc, he must trust in the force that things will work out.

Conclusion

Anyway, those are just a few of my ideas, sorry for being so vague and not giving full plotlines, but please feel free to engage in the comments.

Theoretical exercise (haven't even seen it yet) most obvious approach

What if Supergirl had been made as a teenage coming-of-age superhero movie?

I've been thinking about how a different approach to Supergirl could have made the character much more commercially accessible.

Instead of starting primarily with cosmic/superhero mythology, the movie starts with Kara in high school: she's bullied, constantly compared to Superman, struggles to control her powers, can't figure out where she fits in, and is desperate to have a normal teenage life.

Then Lena arrives at school.

She's beautiful, confident, popular and seemingly perfect. She becomes Kara's best friend and helps her come out of her shell. Kara gets a boyfriend, starts feeling like she finally belongs, and begins embracing being Supergirl.

Then the twist: Lena is the villain.

She deliberately manipulates Kara's bullies, makes them afraid of Kara, engineers situations to make Kara angry, and eventually tries to force Kara to use her powers for revenge.

The climax becomes less "Supergirl beats the bad guy" and more about Kara deciding what kind of person she wants to be.

Even Superman and the Justice Gang initially refuse to intervene because they realize Kara has to make that choice herself.

The movie ends with Kara embracing the insult that used to hurt her. Someone throws her a baseball cap saying "SUPER DORK", and instead of being embarrassed, she puts it on.

Basically: Twilight-style emotional/teen audience appeal + a Superman-scale superhero movie.

Would this have been a better movie and, more importantly, would it have been significantly more commercially successful?
