JUSTICE LEAGUE movie

[KneelBeforrSmallville]

I just watched the Latino Review video, i love how the TDKR score is in the backround, it makes you feel like its very top secret and your on the edge of your seat LOL.

I mean, it does make sense, and if they want a recipe for success its really the only way.

Im on the side of the people who want them to jump right into a JLA movie, no need for solo leadup movies, they have to differ themselves from Avengers and we have had so many Origin stories of Batman and Superman theres really no need IMO, Unless..The Dark Knight trilogy and Man of Steel WERE THE LEADUP MOVIES!?

Nope, they need to be introduced in the film. Otherwise, the film will never happen. Wonder Woman and The Flash, for example, have been in development hell for years, and a JL movie could be just the springboard needed for those solo projects to get off the ground.

If Thor can carry a film, so, too, can Wonder Woman.

I want to agree with you but it sure will be weird seeing all those heroes just walking on and being introduced in this manner: "Oh, this is Aquaman".

It worked for War Machine.

at me having to read your post via a scroll.

The president must've told Kal-el to stay out of it.

And vise versa. Justice League has been in that same development hell too

The point is, what Marvel did worked. If DC copies that same method it will work too. If it doesn't, then they just made garbage. If they do it backward, it could go either way. Based on past performances, they're going to make garbage with Justice League and expect Avengers box office. Aside from Nolan's Batman they haven't had DC hit since, what, Batman Forever? Batman & Robin -garbage, Superman Returns- then left again, Watchmen - who watched watchmen?, Green Lantern - an Atrocitus bomb. They've got a lot riding on MoS now. If it sucks, which it most likely will given their history with Superman AND Synder, they're back at square one. Their one DC hit has come and gone and they'll need to start fresh again with everything.

And this is coming from the board's first DC mod!

Well, you should be fired. With a ban on setting foot back in the DC section.

Watchmen was great, as was Green Lantern, and, last time I checked, I didn't judge whether or not movies sucked by their box office take. If that was the case, then half the films that won, or were nominated for, Oscars over the years "sucked." Obviously, GL and Watchmen were never going to win Oscars, but the point remains; they were good movies. Therefore, your point falls apart at the seams.

Nolans Batman would be terrible in a JLA movie... especially with that voice.

I'm hoping for a redifined Bats.

 

[EVILFACE]

And one with a classic looking Batman outfit.

I don't know. Batman's been in films for 24 years, now, and I've yet to see anything that held more than a passing resemblance to the comic suits (with the exception of the West Batman). If we haven't seen it yet, I question if we ever will.

If the studios weren't obsessed with origin stories your theory would work.

Watchmen by WB Studios handled some of the origins via fashbacks.

It showed the original Watchmen in the opening credits montage as the formed and disbanded as well as the new breed as they formed and dsbanded.

Doc Manhattan had a full origin. Most of the rest had a taking over the mantle scene or relationship (SS and her mum, Nite Owl II and hollis mason.)

So it can be done in the team movie. Only Flash, WW and Aquaman would need an origin as the rest have one.

The idea of each hero having an origin film is only a recent idea. Long before that there were 3 other team franchises that introduced the characters without doing orign movies first.

DC is a different animal than Marvel. What worked for Marvel with the Avengers won't work for DC. Marvel has a couple of big names -- Spider-man, X-Men, Cap -- and a bunch of medium-level ones. Some of the medium ones can carry their own movie without the team-up ... Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, etc.

DC has two gigantic names -- Batman and Superman, bigger names than any at Marvel -- and a whole bunch of very minor ones. Batman and Superman need their own franchises before JL. The rest need to be introduced in JL before they have their own movies ... do Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Lantern, etc. as spinoffs of JL, if at all, not the other way around.

Though Superman and Batman are so well known with a total between them of 13 films that there s no need to reintroduce them for JL beforehand.

They shouldn't introduce anyone in Justice League. They need their own films first. The whole point of the Justice League and Avengers is for these very capable of handling problems on their own heroes to team up for a threat they can't handle on their own.

That didn't happen in TA. Loki was weak as **** compared to his turn in THOR. In that he had a decent fight with Thor and was more formidable, in the team-up he got his butt handed to him by two heroes independantly & within moments of the "fight" starting, he was taken in by two mortals & locked up for most of the movie with no way of personally escaping.
He was in no way a threat big enough to validate a team-up. Take away his Sceptre and he was barely a threat to average people, he didn't even display any if his magics from THOR

They could sidestep a few origin stories for a JLA film. I imagine this movie will really be "Superman, Batman, and the other guys" You don't need a lot of back story for supporting cast.

In Avengers we know very little about the film version of Black Widow in spite of having a fair amount of accumulated screen time. We know in vague terms she hasn't always been a nice person, but few details. Wonder Woman could work in the short term on that level. She might speak briefly of one or two formulative experiences in her life to make the audience want more in a stand alone film.

I agree Watchmen was good, but Green Lantern gets worse every time I see it playing at the gym

The point is, the studios only care about the money. So if they not only don't make a profit, but don't make back their costs, then it did suck for them. They were expecting Green Lantern to be a huge hit. They even green lit Green Lantern 2 during production of the first film. And it severely disappointed them. I think they've got similar hopes for MoS. If it suffers the same fate as Green Lantern, they're going to have to throw in the towel on Justice League and start over. If it actually does well, they've got their foot in the door. Right now the fate of this movie is riding heavily on MoS. And Snyder hasn't proved to be a box office smash yet with only 300 doing well. Not that he can't make a good film, but his box office track record isn't that great. Sucker Punch anyone?

Green Lantern was awful. X3 and Wolverine look good by comparison.

GL was originally written for Jack Black to star. I don't think they changed much after casting Ryan Reynolds. They probably took out a part where he would sing and play guitar and perhaps some gross jokes. But I can watch GL and mentally drop Jack Black into that film.

 

[intothevoid]

GL was pretty bad. Best thing about it was its final trailer.

 

[creature4000]

GL was only good when not on earth! SINESTRO!!

Anyway...

The studios should watch the DC universe trailer 1000 times and then try to recreate it.

 

[Skywalker(OG)Kush]

I think they should do a batman superman movie first that introduces wonder women. During this time they should be working on a flash movie, and boom they can do justice after.

Honestly if these rumors are true about Nolan and bale teaming with Snyder it may just mean that they are planning a "worlds finest movie". Everyone assumes it will be justice league but I don't quite believe that. It doesn't seem to be how Nolan works (jump into some avenger movie without a proper setup).

He did work on both batman and man of steel so that seams more plausible too me

Just not enough tine in space and on Oa. They should've adapted First Flight.

Hope GotG doesn't make the same mistake of basing cosmic characters on Earth.

 

[DarthNeil]

I hope there's not a "World's Finest"... The release will coincide with the end of days...

It may have been better with jack black lol. Ryan Reynolds is comic book movie kryptonite. Every movie he has been in sucked including green lantern, wolverine, and blade 3. Keep him the **** out of these movies. If he ends up in another comic book movie then at least we all know to skip it!
