If WW had been released in 2008, then there would have been 3 in 2008. So unless Public Enemies gets delayed to 2010, DC is speeding up to at least 2.5/year.

It was originally pegged as a 4th quarter 2008/1st quarter 2009 release. Then that was narrowed down to February 2009, and it ended up being moved back a little to March 2009.
I've always hoped for a live-action Kingdom Come, but I don't see it happening. For one, it would be hard to explain "Elseworlds" to the movie going public, not to mention they'd be confused by future versions of Superman, Batman, et. al. Oh, and then there are all of the other characters, many of whom only comic fans would recgonize. Add that to the less than stellar box office for Watchmen and, well, here's hoping we at least get an animated version.
If I were in charge of Warner Brothers and got my "fanboy" wish, I'd alternate the releases with an original story featuring a different hero each time (like Wonder Woman and Green Lantern) and a faithful adaptation (more like New Frontier than Doomsday).
Of course, I'd probably end up bankrupting the studio producing Starman DVDs, but hey, the fans would be thrilled!

Maybe, but look at all the animated versions of Batman they've juggled over the years. And at least three versions of the X-Men.
Exactly. There's no need to explain Elseworlds, because every movie or TV adaptation of a comic book is an alternate reality to begin with.
Public Enemies is up after Green Lantern? That's sweet. Public Enemies and the reintroduction of Supergirl by Mike Turner and Jeph Loeb are the two best arcs of the early Superman/Batman series. Kingdom Come has been discussed and Timm stated in a audio commentary or a featurette that they're definitely interested in doing it...just a matter of time it seems. When is Green Lantern coming out then if Public Enemies is also slated for release this year?
Green Lantern: First Flight is scheduled to be released on July 28, 2009. Public Enemies is a fall release.
Oh wow...that is sooner than I thought! I would love to see Kingdom Come, Knightfall as a previous poster suggested. The Sinestro Corp War, JLA Earth 2, a Legion movie about the founding of the Legion of Superheroes....
It'll almost certainly never happen (at least, without Marvel's help), but as a novelty - I'd love to see adaptations of some of the Amalgam comics. Characters like Dark Claw and Super Soldier.
And I'd hate to admit it, but I'd love to see some sort of animated follow-up to Lois & Clark, with the original idea of who the baby in the finale is. Not that I'm sure they could get the cast members back to provide voices.

Oh, please, no. The last couple of seasons of that show, and the series finale in particular, are best forgotten.
That one would be the late Lane Smith, I presume?
That's actually a pretty good idea.
