Actually, I think it would be too complicated having to explain the whole thing with Aquaman and Atlantis relationship with the rest of the World in the first movie. Not to mention that the regular joe often thinks very little of the character. Aquaman is one of the superheros people make the most fun of. Personally, I'd be fine they cut him off completely. I would rather have Hawkman or even Cyborg.

Wait, you think Aquaman would be too complicated, yet you want a character from an alien home world with all of that Rann/Thanagar Mumbo jumbo? That sounds a lot more complicated, and, as for all of the Atlantis stuff, they don't need to go into it in the JL film. That's what solo movies are for. If you just have the mysterious hero emerge from the sea and help the Justice League kick some ***, that's enough to intrigue people and draw them in.

Aquaman needs a whole film to himself let alone being in the JLA

Agree! They should do the Batman reboot next to the new Superman movie at least and also they should do a Wonder Woman, Aquaman movie. I don't really like the idea that the new Batman movie will come after the JL but they will introduce him in the JL. Oh well. Is it possible that DC is afraid of making a solo Wonder Woman movie or Aquaman for example? They screwed up GL but it was their mistake. It could have been a great movie. I don't want them to screw up the upcoming JL movie.
Of course Marvel build up Avengers, but the truth is besides the first Iron Man movie, all of the others were meh at best. Average or belowe average films. Thor, Captain America...weak movies. DC should make quality solo movies first and than do the big team up. I hope Superman will be great.

imo leave out Batman and put in Aquaman, Aquaman hasn't been featured on-screen yet so he's fresh and exciting, Batman has been done lots and lots of times already and it's quite soon from the last trilogy to avoid the hate from nolanbabies.
But it's not a necessity

No, it really is necessary. They didn't just make the Justice League as the first comic book featuring these characters. They were all introduced individually and then brought together. That's what Marvel did with the Avengers film and it paid off BIG! WB is just trying to make a quick buck on that success without the investment that Marvel put into their franchise. Big mistake and I hope it bombs miserably for their greed.

You're opposed to their greed producing a successful movie?

No, I feel that it could, in fact, work. Of the main 5 that have been announced (providing that information is accurate), 4 are household names and one had a movie out recently(continuity doesn't matter, the people now know who Hal Jordan is). Personally, I think that WB are taking a huge risk by doing JL right off the bat, but, if they can pull it off, risk garners reward; big time. I'm kind of glad if this is the direction they take because it proves that they've got enough cajones to do what they feel is right, rather than "How to make DC movies the Marvel Way."
I've said it countless times before, and I'll say it again, a lot of these characters are untested when it comes to solo films (I.e. Flash, Wonder Woman), and this could work to their advantage and act as a spring board to get those films out of development hell, and on to the silver screen.

I'm okay with that 5 member line up. Aquaman is kinda blah to me anyway. I hope it does well.... But so far, my expectations are so-so. 
If done RIGHT, it could work. But it won't be. They're just looking to cash in as quickly as possible on the Avengers hype. They thought they were doing Green Lantern right, even said GL 2 was green lit during production of GL 1. And that was a big flop. And Man of Steel has yet to be tested either. Snyder has only really had one hit and that was 300. Watchmen was good, but it was a very niche film and wasn't the superhero blockbuster some thought. And Sucker Punch is exactly what he did to the people that paid for that movie to get made. So of Man of Steel follows his films since 300, WB is going to have yet another major flop on their hands and very little time to decided whether to drop MoS continuity (and actors) for Justice League if they want to keep their 2015 release date.
The only successful WB superhero films lately have been Nolan's Batmans and we all know those are done. So they've really got nothing to stand on right now and diving head first into a huge endeavor like Justice League without some favorable lead ins, is very, very risky and very, very stupid.

Regardless of Snyders Rep Unless the WBs marketing team destroys the Man of Steel chances out of a big weekend then i believe they possibly have a hit. WB doesnt know what there doing unless they have a visionary director behind the helm. Green Lantern did flop but but for the most part all of the good parts of a production where there, they didnt have a story that flowed. Nolans storytelling techniques mixed with snyders visionarys are a reciple for success. But how would this translate to The Justice League? Will they ride the coattails of Nolans TDK Legacy? I mean they could, The Avengers had lead up, time to build, a very thought out plan, The only option for WB is to be innovative is to blow there load on a massive blockbuster than can spawn solo movies.

Snyder has yet to make a bad film, period.

Batman is one of the most imprortant member of the JL so a big no to you!

We don't know that yet, though. If it sucks, I'll come back into this thread, quote your post, and eat crow, but we're so cynical about everything anymore. How about waiting until we have more than just a title and some rumored information before saying it's going to suck?
The characters in Justice League don't require lead-in solo films going into it like Avengers did (especially Iron Man and Thor). To the average Joe, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are as iconic as it gets. The film need only be good, and the rest will take care of itself.

Umm, How about Sucker Punch and Watchmen...
WATCHMEN is good and I will fight you to the death over it.

I agree here as well, I feel that it could've benefitted from the slow mo fight scenes being a bit more toned down (it could've meshed better with the rest of the film; however, the Blake/intruder scene was really well done, and, had the Mason finale scene been included in the actual cut, it would've benefitted from the style), but it's a fantastic film. I am kind of curious what it could've been, though. An HBO miniseries would've been great in some parallel dimension!
Since this is the Justice League movie thread, am I the only one that would want to see The New Frontier in live action? Imagine it: the film begins with clips of the Justice Society fighting criminals/Nazis/what have you interweaves with their tribunal that's accusing them of being communists. You hear radio broadcasts of the "news" about Superman and Wonder Woman overlaying an amateur film depicting the fight between Batman and Superman (similar to the iconic Big Foot film), etc. Maybe, all of this is intertwined with Rex Tyler[Hourman] as he runs from police. It would never happen because it's way too nichey, but I like to think that, in a perfect world, it would.
