The Telltale DC Gaming Universe(Warning: LOTS OF PICTURES)
First off, I'm well aware Telltale has a lot on their plate right now(ANF, GOT S2, Guardians, Lionsgate Project, etc). I know the chances of this happening are slim to none, but if it were to happen, this is my idea. The following games are following on from Batman S1.
First off, before we have any new characters, we need at least one more season of Batman to solidify his place in the universe and set up the other games. The second season would focus on a few villains. While The Joker would be the main threat, Calendar Man, Harvey/Two-Face, Penguin, Scarecrow, Black Mask, Zassz(is that how you spell it?), and Killer Croc would play a role in the season as well. We would also see the introduction of Robin(Carrie Kelly). I know that Dick has always been portrayed as the first Robin, but I think it's time to spice things up. We would also see early hints of Batgirl. Towards the end of the season, we would see the foundation being built for a larger universe(potentially even having a JL character appear).
After Batman S2, we would have..........THE FLASH!
I would want the game to separate itself from the CW version, as well as the DCEU version. It needs to be a unique take on the character, just like Batman was. Since the majority of the show has focused on Reverse Flash, and the movie seems to be doing that as well, the game should focus on The Rogues.
The Flash would also be tasked with setting up the threat for Justice League.....BRANIAC. Nothing major, just a cameo or a short apperance.
Post Flash, we would finally get a good SUPERMAN game
This Superman is literally brand new. He is still leaping instead of flying and he is afraid of the harm he can cause. I picture Superman being the best of the solo games. It would truly be epic. You would have Lex Luthor(Who can either be an ally or an enemy depending on your choices), Toy Man, and finally a complete invasion by General Zod(like Man of Steel, only things could go very differently depending on your choices(Zod can live or die, Lois can determinantly die,greatly affecting the way Superman acts as a hero in JL, and depending on how many allies you make, you can either have a high casualty rate or a low one).
After Superman, we get(spins around)....WONDER-WOMAN!
Honestly, I don't know too much about WW's lore. I would most likely involve Cheetah and Ares(pretty much the only villains I know of hers). Yeah, sorry this one's kinda disappointing.
Next, we get Aquaman. Hey, yeah you! Stop laughing! He's amazing!
While half of the game would be set underwater in Atlantis, the major battles would take place on land. I think it would be awesome if we had a villain like Ocean Master or Black Manta attempting to flood a major city or country. How awesome would it be to fight Starro in the middle of flooded London!
Now, before the final solo outing before Justice League.....GREEN LANTERN!
This would really set up the JL, while also introducing the GL Corps. We would play as Hal Jordan. Our main villain would be The Red Lanterns. Given the style of choices in Telltale games, I think having a dark and light side would be a really interesting dynamic to play with. The game ends with Braniac heading towards earth.
Now, the big one...JUSTICE LEAGUE!!!!!!!
Those are all the ideas I have for now. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Wow some really good ideas here, I would love some more Telltale DC games to.
Nice.
...Marvel next?
I certainly love the idea of Telltale having their own DC universe. I like it! Not too keen on the idea of a Superman game though.
Probably not gonna happen, but I gotta admit, the idea is pretty intriguing.
Asssuming Guardians is good all the way through, than yeah.
Most likely will falll on deaf ears and never happen, but i guess we can dream.
I actually had that same idea for Telltale to do it's own DC Game Universe. They have the engine to do it because everything that has been done in the game could be imported, but I want to add some key differences as it would mainly involve certain characters getting a solo series.
In my Batman walkthrough I made my Batman a grey but mostly good hero that will cross the line when need to like with Falcone, but mostly do his best to save as many as he can as well as try to redeem the villains as much as he could. I want to continue that route as a grey Batman and if the option comes then I won't hesitate to kill Joker, but not at the expense of innocent civilians. Joker is pretty much the obvious choice for a villain, but I would like the chance to redeem a different villain also
Like with Batman, I want to make Superman a grey hero as well, but still a guy that's all around good and wants to do his best as a journalist. For me I would use elements of the New 52 in play as Clark turns journalist for the Daily Planet to a blogger, and he changes his appearance as Superman in his first costume. This is were players would shape him as what kind of journalist should he be as you will face obstacles as you discover something very unsettling by people in higher power and wondering what impact will it bring. This will also affect the people around you if by doing the right thing would also damage the reputation of people around you. This would ultimately put you in the blogger route, or you would go journalist route and involve Lois Lane in this as you remain with the Daily Planet. I want my Superman to be someone that will do good and not answer to the government or any higher authority. Mainly be an international hero. And later I would like Superman to get a new costume from Braniac's ship, and the game should have a few for the player to choose. The Godfall Superman costume should be an option to use as it looks cool and I want to use it as Superman's main costume. Would be interesting to have Lex turn into an ally instead of an enemy
I was just thinking about how awesome it would be if Telltale created their own DC Universe.
If Telltale did do a DC Game Universe then I would like these people to voice these characters. We already got Troy Baker as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Here is my list:
Sam Witwer as Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman
There are a few VA's I would consider to voice Superman, but personally I strangely feel this role should be given to Sam Witwer. He's a damn good actor in both on-screen and on games, and many should remember him from "Smallville". So it would be an interesting role for him if he did consider it, and I've seen him perform when he voiced Maul from the "Clone Wars" TV Series. With his voice he could create a Superman with personal conflict and you would believe him as he performs the different reactions on the character with personal struggles. As I said in my previous post that Telltale's Superman should have elements from the New 52 versions with the involvement of his Earth parent's death and he would realize the death of his own birth parents. It would be an interesting combinations to have a Superman that's really personal
Nolan North as Arthur Curry/Aquaman
Because it's Nolan North that he has to be in everything, and he is in a Telltale Game already. For this his character should have his elements based on his Nathan Drake character from "Uncharted", and Aquaman is known to be a badass. So adding a Nathan Drake persona into Aquaman could be interesting to see
Christine Lakin as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman
She voice Jane in season 2 of the Walking Dead game, and so when I head her voice again I feel she could make a good Wonder Woman. The character Jane has a sense of strength in her and Christine could deliver that as Wonder Woman
Booboo Stewart or Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/The Flash
There are two ways this could be done and it's up to Telltale if they could pull it off. For anyone who don't know who Booboo Stewart is he voiced Greg from "The Walking Dead: Michonne" and he's the brother of Sam in that game. Those who know Grant Gustin should be obvious why since he did play the Flash
This is what I got so far on who should play the character. Who else would you consider?
This would be fun if possible. I would like to see TellTale make some new universes since they've gotten a Walking Dead universe going
That is actually a great idea. I also thought of that. Although Telltale would never do so many solo games before the Justice League. I thought 2 season of Batman, Superman season 1 and Green Lantern Season 1. The rest would make their first enter in the Justice League game. I mean imagine if in Justice League you could import your sves from different previous games. That would be epic
