DC Films Good TL Idea

 * The 2000 Batman Year One Film takes off, and is released in 2003 as Batman:Origins. It is a comerical and critical sucess, prompting Warner Bros to reboot Superman as well.
 * The movie recives a re-work before release. Bruce's Origin is brought to be more along the lines of his comic book self.
 * Bruce is aged up slightly. He is not 25 but instead 31
 * Bale is still Batman.
 * Superman is released in 2005, with Brandon Routh as Superman and Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. The movie details the rise of Superman and the start of his conflict with Lex Luthor. The Film is well recived and performs well, albeit not as strong as Batman
 * Batman Vs Superman is the ATL Dark Knight.
 * In Case LL or Scraw read this before I talk to them, there are intentionally some odd movie choice to make it more like real life.
 * Catwoman movie is made in 2008 and is medicoreAF
 * Green Lantern comes out in 2010 and is terrible. Alan Scott's Green Lantern. the Movie is Written Out of the DC with the Justice League movie and is later acknoledged as an alternate universe in either Flash 2, Justice League 2, Flash 3/Flashpoint, or the Crisis movie. The movie actually stalls the Justice League movie from 2011 to 2013. However, because of this, several other characters are able to appear in the Justice League
 * The first Justice League Movie fetures Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, a new Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Catwoman, Robin/Nightwing, and Aquaman
 * Watchmen and Ex-Powers Live Adaption gets made as DC movies.

Republicans
In March of 2015, President Romney announced that he would seek re-election as the Republican nominee. While Romney's favorablity numbers where a net positive (43% Approval, 30% disapproval, 27% unsure), through out his administration he had lost support of numerous factions within the "Romney Coalition"(Nammed after the so called Powell Coalition that allowed for Romney's predececor to take power), which relied on unity between the Traditional Conservatives,The Religous Right, Rockerfeller Republicans, Libertarians, Blue Dog Democrats, and Center-Right Independents. Particularly, Romney lost the critical support of Conservatives, Libertarians, and Blue Dogs Democrats, leaving him with only the support Moderate Republicans and Right Leaning Centrists, Romney began his campagin with the intention of unifiying the Republican Party. However, when Texas Senator Ted Cruz announced his candidacy the prospect of complete Republican unity became out of reach for Romney. A hardline Conservative and vocal oppenent of the Romney Administration, Cruz's campagin gained traction rapidly, so becoming a legitamate insurgency campagin.

Romney's hopes of reforming his campagin only worsened when 2012 Libertarian Nominee and former Republican Governor Gary Johnson announced that he would be seeking the nomination of the Republican Party. On the same day, former Congressman Joe Walsh announced his candidacy, seeing the Romney campagin as weak and crumbling.

Romney's biggest threat however came in the form of Real Estate Mougal Donald J Trump. Trump, a backer of Romney in 2012, declared his candidacy and immediatly gained traction as a populist, outsider candidate who could "drain the swamp" of DC and Make America Great Again.
