Wouldn't it be cool if Killer Croc were to get his own Stand-alone movie? I feel like he's one of the more underrated villains in the DCU. It be cool if they even added in his tragic backstory from the comics to how he became what he is. With being born with the unnaturally scaly skin and all that stuff. Especially where he befriended this one girl in his childhood. If Marvel can succeed with giving their villains their own stand-alone movies then so can DC? What do fellas think, tho?

The overall consensus I've seen online is that DC does better with animated adaptations than live-action. A well-done stand-alone animated DC villain I'd watch, but I realize that I'd probably be the minority of general audiences on this.

While I do like complicated villains and well-done stories of how 'society creates monsters' they are often done so poorly that 'evil because they are evil' can be preferable. I don't want to see more Jurassic World stuff where we're constantly being told that beings are actually niceys and we should risk countless human lives to save them, while showing said beings acting almost exclusively as monsters.

By 'succeed', you mean "get them made" and not "make them good" I take it? These films also exist largely due to the complicated licensing surrounding Spider-Man characters. There's not as much in DC stopping them from having, say, Jonah Hex team up with the original Red Tornado to take down Captain Boomerang.
