4) Crime Syndicate of America
The Crime Syndicate of America are absolutely perfect for DC’s Cinematic Universe as they’re essentially just the evil and twisted version of the Justice League (a group of superheroes that DC already plans on bringing to the silver screen). You have Owlman (counterpart to Batman), Johnny Quick (counterpart of The Flash), Power Ring (counterpart of Green Lantern), etc.
The list goes on, but the point is, adding an “alternate version” or “evil twin” component to the DC Cinematic Universe could make for a very fun element that Marvel is currently without.
5) Hush
Often depicted as one of the Caped Crusader’s foes, Hush started off life as Tommy Elliott (who actually appears briefly in Gotham) and was childhood friends with Bruce Wayne at one point. Without diving into too much backstory, he eventually grew to hate Bruce and adopted his alter-ego, Hush, in order to match Batman. In fact, he became so obsessed with that goal that he performed plastic surgery on himself to mimic Bruce’s appearance. Now that‘s a level of crazy we have yet to see a comic book villain take on!
His genius-level intellect and super tactical skills make him a formidable opponent for The Dark Knight, not to mention that he’s also an expert marksman and can hold his own in hand-to-hand combat with Batman. Like Bruce, he’s also quite wealthy and can easily fund his operations.
In almost every way, he’s nearly Batman’s equal, and it would be thrilling to see these two go head-to-head on the big screen, especially if they could find an actor to match Ben Affleck in terms of physicality and screen presence.
