I wouldn't mind the time limit as much if they weren't direct Adaptations

Identity Crisis would be amazing! That's number one on my list, with
TLH number 2 i think that could work really well without it being too similar to TDK. The main similarities are the corruption of Harvey (which is done differently) and the rise of the 'freaks', but the storyline of the murder mystery and the use of a load of the rogue's gallery would make it original enough IMO.
i'm the best at what i dobut what i do isn't very nice -

For me it's mainly that the big things fomr TLH and Year One I wanted to see covered essentially have been now, so I'd rather they do something much more unlike what we've got already.

First off those we remember the cast lists I made for this like over a year ago, I've pretty much completely revamped it, this is more plausible. So you can forget that. I'm not covering every character just the major ones.
Wonder Woman would only be scene, no voice actress needed, which is consistent with the novel. Sue and Atom's wife will keep the cast fomr being a sausage fest thou I haven't decided who to cast for either of them sadly?
I'd remove the 1 scene Nightwing and Starfire have caused while I like it their not major factor sin the story at all making this scene bee thrown in during the opening kinda random.
Mark Harmon as Superman, His role in this is about the same as in Crisis on Two Earths so I figure why not keep that.
Bruce Greenwood for Batman, I think he could well good enough to replace Connery, and can see him playing Bat's role in this quite well.
If the 3 main voice actors of the Green Arrow short of well I'd have them reprise their 3 roles.
Michael Rosenbaum for Wally West, I know that must seem random going back to the standard Timmverse casting for this single role, but for whatever dumb reasons Rosey hasn't been getting a much work after leaving Smallville as he should. And this is an opportunity to get much deeper into the role then JLU ever allowed him to.
I'll go ahead and give Pearlman another shot at Deathstroke.
Christopher McCulloch for Dr.Light, in case you can't guess his "The Monarch" voice is what I'm thinking of, when I first read Identity Crisis for whatever reason I instantly envisioned that voice coming from Light's mouth.
I'm still thinking on The Calculator and Captain Boomerang and his Son.
Steven R McQueen for Tim Drake, I can see him pulling this off well, now that Jason's got a movie Tim certainly deserves a spotlight. And maybe just to be shameless have Chad McQueen be Jack Drake?

Pearlman WAS Deathstroke. I pray that if "The Judas Contract" ever gets off the ground or any other film with the character Anrea Romano looks no further than Ron Pearlman for the role.
Couldn't agree more with Michael Rosenbaum's inactivity with anything DC as of late. I hope that we get a "Flash Showcase" sometime next year and he once again plays Wally West. Hopefully he pops back onto Smallville as Lex to wrap up the series nicely too.
Everyone else is pretty much dead on. I would like to see NPH returning as Nightwing down the road and of course Greenwood. Too bad he couldn't have been used for "Crisis on Two Earths" as well. *Sighlol.
And I know that we've seen certain elements of TLH adapted into "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" but we have yet to see the most intriguing aspect of the story which was the Holiday Killer. When I first read the book I couldn't put it down because of the mystery of his/her identity. Plus like it was pointed out in an earlier post, the rogues gallery was utilized in excellent fashion. Most of all, Julian "Calender Man" Day. The scenes with him and Bats in Arkham radiated something surrounding Hannibal Lecter from "Silence of the Lambs".
If you think about it, they might be able to congest TLH into one part of the 1st feature and "Dark Victory" for the second feature. Both would compliment one another extremely well.

I'd hate it if anyone else fomr the Teen Titans cartoon came back thou.
The mystery element is actually gone in an adaptation, and once revealed I fond the Holiday Killer rather contrived. And I wasn't fond of The Joker in TLH either.

Is one of the few I wouldn't mind being condensed some,cause while I love much of the story there is also allot of crap in it.
1st I'd just remove Upper and make it Darkseid invading, but I'd definitely keep the concept of the whole President Lex-Brainiac-Lena dynamic.
You can also remove the Young Justice, stuff, and allot of the Aquaman and Wonder Woman related material.
It'd also be nice to See Lois's dad make a movie for once, pretty easy to guess who should voice him.

I doubt it didn't sell well. Each part probably sold around what a single-release does so they decided it's not worth the added risk that people who buy Part 1 might not buy Part 2? (Although there is the "Deluxe Edition" as well as an additional source of revenue).
Theoretically a movie split into two, costs less than 2 new movies though (because they share character designs, no overhead, etc), so really, it shouldn't be a bad idea.
Then again in my opinion if the movies could be just half an hour bigger, it would be a great improvement, we don't necessarily need them to be twice as long.
