CMV: The DC movie universe needs an Iron Man

 

I've put a lot of thought into what separates the Marvel movies from the DC movies. Obviously, the Marvel movies are just better made in general and taking the time to create the Universe pretty much from scratch has really paid off. I wanted to take it a step further and really analyze if DC can create a Universe as enthralling and engaging as what Marvel has done. Unfortunately from the groundwork now I don't think it's possible, for one main reason they don't have an Iron Man. What Infinity Wars showcased the best is the true evolution as Tony Stark as a character. This all began with Tony in a cave making a suit, and then expanded gradually from there. He was such a strong, kind of simple character to build this crazy Universe of aliens, wizards, and gods around. Cap also served this purpose. DC just doesn't really have anyone to build around.

Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Superman are just too powerful to serve this purpose. Flash and Cyborg are too young. Batman would be the obvious choice here. The only problem is they went with an old worn down Batman. I like this portrayal and they should really stick with it though. It brings some freshness to an overplayed character. What I think would be the best decision is to hand the reigns over to Nightwing.

Nightwing could very easily fit into the Iron Man/Cap/Batman role of ground the group of aliens and gods. There is so much depth to play around with his character. As a relative unknown to you average movie goer, it could bring so much life and originality. Since you can easily just set solo movies in the past. He could have such a great origin story, coming from a time before superheroes and supervillains were flying around cities.

I think your argument centers around recent movies and does not take into account the extremely successful Dark Knight movies as well as the decades of Superman movies. Marvel and DC are just different and so their movies are different as well. Also you seem to miss the similarities to Iron Man and Batman.
