10 DC Comics Crossovers We Want To See in Movies

The resurgence of DC Comics in film is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting things to happen in superhero cinema in recent years. With the success of Superman, the upcoming release of Supergirl, and their streaming release of Lanterns, it’s safe to say that James Gunn‘s new DCU is about to take over Hollywood. The future of DC is very bright, with endless possibilities on the horizon.

Something that Marvel Studios has never really invested in, is the concept of intercompany crossovers in film. Now, while the reasoning is very much because of legality and film rights, it’s still fun to dream that there’s a world where intercompany crossovers are more possible than they really are. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been around for a while, so there are a lot of things established already, but the DCU is brand spankin’ new and, for all the world knows, Gunn could have fun allowing these crossovers to come to fruition.

The Terminator

The Terminator franchise is one of the oldest, most legendary, and impactful franchises in science fiction cinema. Created by the iconic James Cameron, people absolutely adore this franchise, and its more timely now than ever. With the major significance of artificial intelligence in the modern world, the entire concept feels more resonant than it has ever been, making it the perfect era for the reappearance of The Terminator in film.

Rather than a new film, though, imagine a world in which fans get to see the one and only robot himself cross over with the likes of the DC universe. In the past, the two franchises have come together in the comics through the likes of the four-part series, Superman vs. The Terminator: Death to the Future (1999). Superman (David Corenswet) has already defined himself as the centerpiece of the DCU, so it would only make sense to bring this story to fruition.

Alien

Another franchise that James Cameron has had a hand in—though, not to mistake anyone, Ridley Scott created the franchise and Cameron only made the iconic sequel—is none other than that of Alien. DC has joined up with the world of Alien multiple times, actually, through their comics titled Superman/Aliens (1995), Batman/Aliens (1997), WildC.A.T.s./Aliens (1998), Green Lantern vs. Aliens (2000), and Superman and Batman vs. Aliens and Predator (2007).

With all of these stories at their disposal (and some having two volumes worth), there are many ways that the DCU could come across the menacing Xenomorphs. A big DCU x Alien crossover could make for a genuinely huge event film unlike anything that superhero cinema has ever seen before. Feels like a no-brainer, doesn’t it?

Power Rangers

The Justice League and Power Rangers charging forward together in DC Comics

Justice League/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (2017) was one of the more well-received intercompany crossovers for DC Comics in recent years. People really enjoyed seeing the two legendary teams come together, as the writer, Tom Taylor, did a wonderful job blending the tones of the two series and characters’ traits. Not to mention, artist Stephen Bryne, did something similar via the visuals.

With a new Power Rangers reboot coming, if Disney and Warner Bros. Entertainment could come together, audiences could get an adaptation of Justice League/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (2017). An event like this could be so much fun, whether it happens on Disney+ (where the reboot will take place), or in theaters (the home of the DCU).

Kick-Ass

If there’s anything DC is good at, it’s being able to tell both extremely hopeful and lighthearted stories, and dark and gritty ones, as well—Superman and Batman existing side-by-side being perfect examples. You know what franchise does a great job melding both of those together? None other than Kick-Ass.

It’s been many years since Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) was on the big screen, but what better time than the present to bring him back? (There could also be a world where they reboot the series.) He would make a perfect crossover companion with either Batman or Superman, since he’s brutal and tough, while also being comedic and lighthearted, at times. He could be a parallel, or a contrast, to either character. Regardless, Kick-Ass could be a perfect crossover.

6

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Batman, Robin and Batgirl join forces with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in ‘Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’.

Cowabunga, dude! There are two sequels to the Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2016), which alone proves that it was a great story/idea and, at the very least, sold extremely well. It was so well-received/grossing that it was adapted into a direct-to-DVD animated film, Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Batman may not be revealed in the DCU yet (however, he was teased in Creature Commandos), but when he comes around, who’s to say the TMNT can’t get in on the action? There’s an all-new TMNT team recently introduced in cinema—found in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem—and there’s a decent chance that exact team could simply be adapted to live-action.

5

Masters of the Universe

If anyone’s been to the theater as of late, they’ve seen that there’s a brand-new adaptation of He-Man (Nicholas Galitzine) and his fellow Masters of the Universe coming this year in, accurately titled, Masters of the Universe. Now that they’re returning to film—hopefully with a high-grossing outcome—this is genuinely the perfect time to get a crossover. Two newly birthed universes, one crossover, wholly epic.

How fun would it be to see He-Man and Superman team-up and face the likes of Skeletor (Jared Leto) and someone like Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) together? While it may not be the first team-up that people think of when ideating potentials, it surprisingly works very well once one begins to think about it harder.

4

Spawn

Batman and Spawn charging into battle together in DC Comics

Spawn is one of the most famous, important, and classic independent comic book characters ever created. Because of this, every comic book company has wanted to get in on the action, crossing their characters over with this dark hero. DC Comics has been the luckiest, having brought together Spawn and Batman three different times—even the WildC.A.T.s. once, too.

This character’s career in cinema has been bumpy, to say the least. Spawn just can’t seem to catch a break, and people are patiently waiting for him to get another go in cinema. So, why not give the world a dark, gritty, and enthralling adaptation of one of his crossovers with Batman? The world would love to see these two on screen together, so make it happen, guys!

Ben 10

Benjamin Tennyson works in pretty much any team-up scenario. With around 1,000,914 samples of DNA to use to turn into alien heroes, there’s an alien for seemingly every occasion. With how many people theorize about whether Ben could turn Kryptonian or not, it’s hard to deny that this would be an extremely fun crossover—not to mention the plenty of other alien races in the DC universe.The young hero works in space, on Earth—everywhere. He’d make for a perfect team-up with the Justice League, and would add an amazing dynamic to the group. His snarky, immature attitude, mixed with his simultaneous ability to get serious and lock in when needed, allows Ben to fit in anywhere, in any dynamic. Whether it’s 10-year-old Ben (Tara Strong) or teenage Ben (Yuri Lowenthal), this hero makes the perfect battle partner. Not to mention, with an attitude like his, he’d probably get along great with Supergirl (Milly Alcock).

The Transformers

Fun fact: there was once going to potentially be a “Justice League/Transformers” comic book series, however it was never picked up by either DC Comics or IDW. Originally pitched by Phil Jimenez, this was going to be a crossover that brought both universes together, and even had concept art of Optimus Prime wearing none other than the Green Lantern ring.

The status of the Transformers franchise in film is pretty up in the air at the moment. With no one quite sure whether or not the G.I. Joe crossover movie is happening, and Michael Bay returning to the franchise, it seems like there’s room for some flexibility right now. So the big question is: why don’t they take the canceled comic book story and make it into a movie, making a trillion dollars in the process?

Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic and The Flash racing across the water in DC Comics

The most recent massive intercompany crossover to hit DC Comics is none other than their team-up with the fabled Blue Blur himself, Sonic the Hedgehog, and his friends. DC X Sonic the Hedgehog (2025) was so successful that it garnered an upcoming sequel, DC X Sonic the Hedgehog: Metal Legion (2026). With how big the Sonic the Hedgehog movie franchise has become, it may be time to follow up on this comic book with a movie.

Sonic racing The Flash, Superman and Knuckles the Echidna showing off their strength, Shadow the Hedgehog and Batman brooding—all iconic moments that could truly shine on screen, if DC Studios and Paramount locked in. Everyone wants more Sonic and DC, so why not give the world what they want, but in one, single, legendary event film?

Your ResultYour MCU Hero Is Revealed
Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts is…

🕷️ Spider-Man
You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be. Funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing, you do the right thing not because it’s easy — but because no one else will. You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose; it’s one that finds you. Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up. Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.

😈 Daredevil
You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free. Deeply principled and intensely focused, you use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks. You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy. Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own: relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop.

🤖 Iron Man
Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem. You lead with your mind and back it up with resources, innovation, and a stubbornness that borders on heroic. You started out looking out for yourself, but somewhere along the way the world became your responsibility. Tony Stark’s arc — from ego to sacrifice — is your arc too. You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.

💀 The Punisher
You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code that the world may not agree with but that you’ve forged in grief and conviction. You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude. You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned. Frank Castle’s war is born from love twisted by loss — and so is yours. Uncompromising and unflinching.

⚡ Thor
Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry. You lead with strength but have learned — sometimes painfully — that true greatness comes from humility, growth, and protecting others rather than seeking glory. You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on. Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector. You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.

🛡️ Captain America
You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will. You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard. Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you. Your strength isn’t in your fists; it’s in your refusal to compromise what’s right, no matter the cost. In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.
