I think the problem with Doom is there are just some characters that don't translate well between mediums.  For example, a guy who literally has Doom in his name trying to go around as a legitimate ruler... Eh... it comes off as weird.

If they wanted to actually do a good job with Dr. Doom, they can't do it in a Fantastic Four movie.  They'd have to do a seperate Doom Origin film (along the lines of Books of Doom) and then bring him into the sequel once he's been established.

its funny cause i was thinking the same thing. It can be done, weirder concepts have worked. But the people doing it HAVE TO GIVE A DAMN and IMHO im just not getting that feeling with the DC at least not the movie division.

If it were up to me there would be a Doom film like Books of Doom, great read. that could lead into a Fantastic Four movie which could lead to a Future Foundation fllm, good trilogy right there. One can dream

I think it'd be better to have a Fantastic Four movie, with the idea of this weird European monarchy in the background, and some hints that Reed and this Doom guy have a history.  Then a Doom movie, then Fantastic Four.  I dunno about Future Foundation.  I really enjoy Hickman's work, but his stories are drawn out over months or years... it'd be hard to adapt.

As for Luthor, I think the problem is that they don't have a Superman that really is set up to go against him.  Lex is sort of like a mix between the Joker and the Kingpin in a sense..  Superman can literally crush him in an instant if he so desired, but to destroy him, he would have to go against his own personal code of ethics, and also kill a US citizen who is massively weaker than him (which is a bit different from killing another god like being like Zod).  He's like a douchey little kid, and you want to wring his neck, but you can't.  Unless you've really established Superman and his morals, it's hard to have Luthor work.
