From what we have so far, McFarlane's line of DC figures seem to b e really good and I'm very happy with what we have so far! Right now the only thing missing in my opinion is figures from the live action movies, primarily the DCEU films that we have been getting for the past couple of years. The backs of some of the boxes reveal that we will be getting a Harley Quinn from Birds of Prey, but I've been thinking about the other films and what figures I want from each movie. So here is my list of the figures I want most from each DCEU film.

Man of Steel: Zod
The first film that kicked off the DCEU remains to be my favorite out of all of the movies released, and the characters in it are also some of my favorite in the franchise so far. I especially loved Zod in this film, and the rendition of the character I felt was awesome and really delved into his role as Krypton's protector, putting him up against Earth's protector. The armored up look of the character I also think just looks really cool, and McFarlane has a thing for armored characters so this would be a good character for them to work on.

Batman v Superman: Batman
I really liked this movie, unlike a lot of fans, and I thought that Ben Affleck in the role of Batman was a very good bit of casting. I thought that his version of the character was hardcore, gritty, and morally gray which was a cool story to see Batman in with the movies. From McFarlane, I would like either of the looks from Batman in this movie. His armored look was really cool and is in line with what McFarlane likes to do, while the regular batsuit is what his primary look was from the brunt of the movie.

Suicide Squad: Enchantress
There are a lot of characters in this movie and it was a tough choice, but I decided to go with Enchantress who is one of the only characters that Mattel didn't do from the movie. She wasn't the best villain, but I have to admit that I really liked the look and aesthetic of her dirty witch-like costume. McFarlane is one for doing scarier designs, so I don't think they would shy away from this character, and would maybe even do her brother, Incubus, at some point.

Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman
This list is ending up to be mostly main characters at this point, and that isn't going to change, but with the line giving the possibility for these characters to receive figures better than anything Mattel gave us I can't help but hope for all the main characters to be done. Wonder Woman was the first DCEU well regarded by the majority of fans and critics, and with her outfit largely staying the same between all of her appearances it would be easy for one figure to check off this character for the most part from the DCEU.

Justice League: Superman
For me, this is the big one and the one I want the most from the DCEU cast. I love Superman and I love Cavill in the role of Superman! I really like his suit from the movies, and just like Wonder Woman his appearances have him looking mostly the same so one figure could suffice. After the figure Mattel kept giving us, and the comic book Superman McFarlane just gave us, I think this character could get its first really great general retail figure which he deserves.

Aquaman: Mera
Mattel's offering for this movie wasn't actually that bad, except for this character, The Mera figure we got had terrible articulation, couldn't stand with serious fiddling, and the likeness was just way off. For such a great character in the movie I hope that McFarlane can give us a figure that blows away Mattel's previous offering.

Shazam: Shazam
Coming out near the end of Mattel's run with the DC license, the Shazam we got actually wasn't bad and was loaded with great articulation and sculpt! but how of all the characters from the movie, he would be the one I would want a figure of most so that's how he is ending up on this list. There isn't much else I can say about this, other than I guess if McFarlane did him I would want them to bulk him up more than what Mattel gave us, which was a slimmer look for the character.

Joker: Joker
Joker came out and broke all kinds of records, and blew away fans who didn't expect such a radically different take on the popular character. I'm one of the fans that found the movie astounding and am glad that the actor is being recognized for the amazing performance he gave in the movie! Todd McFarlane has praised this movie for showing the world just how successful an R rated superhero movie could be, and stated already that he would be very glad to make a Joker figure based off of this movie; DC just has to tell him he can and I hope they do!
