AVENGERS VS. JUSTICE LEAGUE: Fanboy Faceoff

Need pics of that presenter. Don't let me down guys! :P

Seems to me that they could do this if Man of steel hits hard. Give Green lantern a sequel that is actually good. Perhaps have a second superman movie tie in to a JL. Then reboot batman by making the next batman actually the first justice league movie--or do something like the doom cartoon storyline, where batman is the center of the story. I think doing things like that would work. It all depends on Man of Steel.

First of all, DC needs to find someone that knows both movies and comics to produce(godfather, mentor or whatever you want to call it) all of these movies. Chris Nolan is easily one of the top 5 filmakers of the 2000s, but he is not the man for the job....

Won't happen because Superman will flop harder than a flaccid dick.

DC does not have to follow Marvel with the whole build up thing, people dont have the time for that shit anymore, it was exciting cause it was new, but yeah they dont need to copy marvel. What I beleive they SHOULD do is start with a JLA movie and then do spin offs, sort of like x-men.

Comix, I wonder if the mainstream audience - so important on the global box office scale - will be into a Justice League movie with characters that, beyond Batman and Superman, they really won't know. In my humble, part of the reason that The Avengers works as effortlessly as it does is that if you enter the theatre having seen Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and Thor, there is a tremendous amount of work already done for you in terms of establishing who these people are. Will a two and a half hour movie be able to establish Green Lantern, Flash, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, maybe Aquaman, for the audience?

Dev7 - that is a good ass point!

I doubt that the shareholders at warners gives 2 craps about winning a war against marvel or bragging rights. All they care about is monet, as good shareholders do. I believe that DC entertainment is just a branding ploy, warners is still very much pulling the strings. I think that wb is a lot more concerned with finding the next harry potter, and after this summer, the next batman franchises. The hp franchise mad 3 times what the mcu has and batman alone has had comparable numbers to avengers without 3d. So i'm not convinced that wb believes that a jl movie is the way to go quite yet, especially after the way superman returns and gl underperformed. The next time they will even test the waters is next summer with man of steel. And lets be honest, we're only getting that movie because wb was about to lose the rights to superman!

Green Arrow? No Way! The general audience would be stupid enough to confuse him with Hawkeye. More like Aquaman & Martian Manhunter.

hope this stays classy and doesn't devolve... the rivalry stuff is fin for comics discussions but for movies it all became moot when marvel studios started making their own stuff. yeah, they haven't all been perfect, but they've all been fine. it's not even a competition.

dev7 hit the nail on the head. the simple answer is that WB people look at what makes a successful "reglar" movie and try to apply those rules to cbms, while marvel studios understands what people like about comics and runs with it.

look at last summer. marvel hired two non-cbm directors for thor and cap, but chose them based on their aesthetics and genre experience. both were successful. wb, on the other hand, chose a guy for gl that had been successful with "regular" action-adventure but had NEVER done sci-fi, and right from the start all his interviews were off... it was clear he didn't "get" comics because he kept talking about humor and bright colors and swashbuckling romance. while that stuff IS a part of comics, it's not what comics ARE.

until there's a guy in charge that understands that capturing the soul of each character's genre is the only way to make the character real, wb will NEVER catch up. they hv=ave made a couple of good choices now... a mystery director for batman and a fantasy guy for superman. what they needed to follow that up with was abrams for aquaman, tarsem for diana and ridley scott for gl (okay, that last one is a pipe dream but wouldn't that be AWESOME???)

@worldbreaker
I'd love a Kingdom Come adaptation... Even though Alex Ross' art would put the CG to shame. My favorite series, I think.

This video will no doubt fan the flames of the DC vs. Marvel war. If DC wants to compete with Marvel's movies, they will have to start taking more risks.

Green Lantern was a start, but it was executed horribly. I thought Ryan Reynolds was good as Hal Jordan, and the same goes for Mark Strong as Sinestro. But everything else was bad. Well, Blake Lively didn't do that bad actually.

It wasn't a good movie though. The script and effects were awful. I would like to see DC try to do a sequel with much better writers. Then I think the movie could live up to its true potential. You know, one that does Green Lantern(Hal Jordan) justice. Also, they need to stick to the source material more. That's a good way to go. A

DC needs to bring other deserving characters to the big screen. Not just play it safe by sticking with Superman and Batman.

If done well, I think these movies and could help DC step up their game on the movie front:

-Green Lantern 2(a reboot isn't always necessary)
-Wonder Woman(Seriously, it's been long enough)
-The Flash(He deserves the big screen treatment)
-Supermax(Green Arrow)
-Zatanna(Her origin and use of magic sets her apart)
-Super Girl(Connect it to the MOS universe, HC cameo)
-Static(Teenage superhero)
-Batman Beyond(This would be awesome, and different)
-Booster Gold(There is a TV show coming, so why not?)
-The Question
-Martian Manhunter
-Teen Titans
-JSA(You have to respect the ones that started it all)
-Aquaman(I know... but he is one of JLA members)
-JLA(This needs to happen, it's what DC fans want)
-Animal Man(Pre New 52, a lot of animal interaction)
-Hawkman(He is badass, 'nuff said)
-The Huntress(We need more solo female superhero films)

These characters are great, interesting, and have a loyal fan base. And some of them aren't A-List characters, which is a good way to go sometimes. Give the fans what they want, but respect them enough to do these iconic characters justice! Needless to say, DC has a lot of work to do to compete with Marvel.

Waiting for intruder to leave a comment. Go on, I'm curious to see what you think.

I really don't care whether WB will make a JL Film or not..
I know, Justice League members are more popular than Hawkeye, Black Widow, or even Thor, for general public..
The opportunity to success is pretty big..

I just want them make a very good movie..

@just1superguy

if Batman, a human being can kick both superman and wonder woman's ass im pretty sure a raging giant green monster, a super soldier with an unbreakbale shield even superman couldnt break and on top of that captain america always has a plan which is how he takes on people much stronger than him. I'm not going to throw in kryptonite, thats a bitch move but it could still possiblu happen. Ironman always has a solution to a problem, always. Im pretty sure Tony could take superman, but it would be really difficult.

I'm not keen on a JLA movie, I think the characters are big enough to have their own succesful individual films.

I honestly think any attempt to make a JLA film would be rushed and end up as a mess that could be a major set back for future CBMs.
