The DC movies gotta start pulling the background metanarrative stuff the Marvel movies were doing with the Infinity Stones, but with the helm/dreamstone/sand pouch/Cain/Abel from the beginning of Sandman.

On the one hand, I’d love this.

On the other, can you imagine going from Suicide Squad 2 or whatever it ends up being into reference-heavy painfully literary metafictional narrative-as-puzzle territory? Everyone in the theater on opening night would need treatment for whiplash.

In the course of whatever they’re doing, they rescue Cain, an unregenerate shit

You realize given my background “well *I* don’t see how you could script a feature film out of this” is not an effective challenge
