The Flash(2007)
script by David S.Goyer. The Flash was Barry Allen, played by Ryan Reynolds, though Wally West(played by Anton Yelchin) appeared as a supporting character(OTL the script for the film was compared to the first two Saim Raimi Spider-Man films in terms of tone). The Film took inspiration from the Comic runs of Mike Baron, Mark Waid, and Geoff Johns. The film's antagonist is the Reverse Flash, who has a hand in the creation of the Flash to ensure he still exists. Reverse Flash creates a massive particle explosion that grants several people superspeed. Many people found Reverse Flash to be a surprisingly terrifying antagonist as he boasts about killing Barry's mother and framing his father, along with the deaths of his dog, several childhood friends and childhood injuries. "It was me, Barry" became a meme much earlier than OTL because of this, which is supported by Ryan Reynolds himself.
Green Lantern(2007)
Starring Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan. The film uses a reworked version of the OTL plot of the animated film
Green Lantern: First Flight which would not have been released yet. It is not a carbon copy, for example certain characters with radical redesigns in OTL's
Green Lantern: First Flight such as Abin Sur and Kanjar Ro now have more comic accurate appearances. The film begins by showing the history of the Green Lantern Corps and the sealing away of Parallax in the Green Lantern Power Battery. It then cuts to Abin Sur being attacked and crashing on Earth, where he is found by Hal Jordan. Sur dies after passing on his ring and is found on Earth by other guardians, including Sur's friend Sinestro, Kilowog(played by Michael Clarke Duncan) and John Stewart(Idris Elba), who take Jordan to Oa for training. Jordan makes a quip referring to the Talk Show host John Stewart. Jordan becomes friends with the Lanterns as they investigate Sur's death, tracking it to space pirate Kanjar Ro. Jordan learns Sinestro has evil intentions, but Sinestro kills Kanjar Ro and frames Jordan for it, leading to his ring being taken away from him(Jordan even lampshades Sinestro's name sounding like Sinister, but it is pointed out that due to the various alien languages, this really only applies on Earth). Sinestro launches his attack by releasing the power of "The Yellow Entity" and devastating Oa, leading Jordan and his friends to fight back and defeat Sinestro, leading him to be banished to another universe. An Epilogue reveals that Stewart intends to head back towards Earth as he's been away for some time while Jordan trains in space.

He's also allied with Talia Al Ghul. Superman goes to see Aquaman, who at first believes Superman is accusing him. Aquaman is reluctant to help due to having lost his left hand last time he tried to help the surface, which is now made of water, but is convinced. Batman chases a biker gang. The chase is interrupted by a robotic being named OMAC Alpha, who easily begins to beat Batman, but Talia, who is watching with Maxwell, asks him not to kill Batman and Max complies since this was intended only as a test of its abilities. The OMAC reverts to an unconscious human person. Batman goes back to the Batcave to try and gain more information on the OMAC but is locked out of Brother Eye and greeted with five words "YOU DON'T CONTROL IT ANYMORE."

They uncover information on a government program called O.M.A.C. which transitioned into first supersoldiers, then mind control and then nanotech before being discontinued in 1999. Batman discovers Brother Eye has found the Fortress of Solitude and the heroes inside and rushes to the Batplane to warn them. in the Fortress, Flash asks the heroes about their powers. Flash sees his powers as a gift, thinking about how he enjoys the moments such as the peaceful silence between a person's heartbeats. Martian Manhunter asks Flash if he's ever gone faster than the speed of light. He comments that's he's gotten close but believed its impossible and that doing so is a "One way trip". Batman arrives to warn them about Brother Eye, the satellite he built and how it went rogue. The Heroes are furious but Batman insists he never intended to use it, only to keep it as a countermeasure if any of the heroes ever went rogue. Batman tells the heroes about the O.MA.C. program. The Flash's phone rings as it is IRIS. This causes a nano machine to jump into the Flash and cause him to phase through the Earth and nearly die by heading into the Earth's core but the League save him with Wonder Woman pulling Flash back with her lasso and Martian Manhunter guiding the blind Green Lantern to remove the nanite via surgery. Superman uses his X-ray vision to find that Martian Manhunter's condition is within his own skin. The group splits up. Flash takes the nanite to S.T.A.R. labs with Wonder Woman going with him. Superman goes to take down the Brother Eye satellite in space and the two Johns, Lantern and Manhunter, operate on removing the nanite in Aquaman's body.
The Batplane returns home. Alfred had Lucius Fox hack into Brother Eye, finding a file on Batman has been added. Batman asks what his weakness is. It's one massive word on the screen: LOVE. Batman recalls previous relationships( some of their faces are not seen at all in the quick glimpses but their identities are implied). They include Rachel Dawes, Julie Madison, Silver St.Cloud(identifiable by her white hair), Vicky Vale(a brief reeanactment of a scene from Burton's Batman but with Vicky's face concealed and with Bale in the Batman role, Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Talia Al Ghul. Batman flashes back to his last meeting with Talia Al Ghul where she implied future actions. Flash brings Wonder Woman to Planet Krypton where he eats large amounts of food due to his metabolism. Wally West arrives and reveals files he dug up revealing that Maxwell Lord, under a different name and as a child, was the sole survivor of project O.M.A.C. when it was in its mind control experimentation phase.
Batman confronts Maxwell and Talia. Maxwell activates O.M.AC. causing the wealthy people at Bruce's party and around the world to turn into O.M.A.C. drones. Batman is captured to lure the League there. Martian Manhunter communicates with everyone telepathically to save Batman. Superman and Wonder Woman arrive first with Wonder Woman trying to force Max to turn off the O.M.A.C.s. Max begins to bleed from every orifice of his body when Superman attacks Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman realizes Max is using his abilities to mind control Superman. Max smirks and tells Wonder Woman that Superman believes Wonder Woman murdered Lois Lane. This leads to an intense fight where Wonder Woman has her wrist broken. The fight is interrupted by Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Aquaman, who had helped cure each other. Wonder Woman wraps her lasso around Max and asks how to stop everything. Max reveals only killing him would do that. As Wonder Woman ponders this, Batman suddenly snaps Lord's neck. This experience makes Superman realize that there should be contingencies against them.
Talia merges her body with Brother Eye and more and more people are turned into OMACs. Lord's voice comes over Brother Eye and a comment from him makes the League realize Lord slipped nanites into Planet Krypton's food. The League begin fighting OMACs, with the Flash racing across the world while Batman rips apart the wires connecting Talia Al Ghul. As Talia dies, she reveals that Lord is looking for a host body now that his old body has been killed, likely to posess a stronger than normal Omac. Wally West arrives to help and the Justice League stands fully assembled. Batman tells the League to watch out for a stronger OMACs. Flash transforms into an Omac due to having eaten the food. Superman fights the mind controlled flash, known as OMAC ULTRA. He damages it enough until Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth get through to Flash inside, who vibrates his body so fast he breaks free of the Omac, only to enter a new world where time is meaningless. It's peaceful. Flash runs back to see Iris one last time, who is frozen in the moment. He tells her "turns out I can save the whole world...So that's what I'm gonna do." with tears in his eyes. Flash admires the sunlight before he moved at impossible speeds around the world, freeing people from every OMAC and burning the nanites away. He begins to disappear. Wally tries to catch up with him and tells him he's going too fast. Barry says goodbye, before telling Wally "Tag. You're it" and then going even faster, breaking the speed barried and taking the OMAC ULTRA with him. There is a rip in space time as Barry's costume falls to the ground from the sky. Wally tells the League what happened.
Today.
At the Funeral, Batman goes to Barry Allen's grave, blaming himself for creating Brother Eye and drops a rose inside, telling him "Godspeed Flash, Godspeed." The League meet at the Fortress of Solitude with Wally West. Superman talks about how losing control scared him and he doesn't want that to happen again. Batman refuses by saying he is not a god like them, but the team says that is not only his greatest strength. That is all their greatest strength. Batman accepts, he and Superman shake hands. The moment is interrupted by a message coming on the screen in the Fortress of Solitude, showing Starro the Conqueror attacking Earth. Without another word, the newly assembled Justice League jumps into action.
The film was a hugue success. So much so that at the time, there were plans to greenlight a Teen Titans film. The Cartoon series had recently concluded. Though the idea of a live action TV Show was also pitched. It was decided to wait until Robin was introduced to move forward with a Teen Titans film.
Due to the production of a Jonah Hex TV Special in 2000 starring Thomas Jane(who campaigned to play the character and even took a picture of himself in full costume and makeup to try and get the part), the Jonah Hex film is butterflied away.
