It has been reported that Warner Brother is shooting for a Justice League movie in the year 2013. Bruno Schwobthaler, Seinor Vice President of Sales and Business Development for Warner Brothers, recently stated that Batman and Superman will be the main focus of the company, but to expect to be introduced to more DC characters in the coming three years starting with June's Green Lantern.



Said Schwobthaler:

“Over the next 3 years there will be no escaping from the DC Universe as we deliver on our commitment to produce new content. We will be investing significant resource in further developing the iconic Batman and Superman franchises whilst also strategically introducing some of the other key characters from the huge and largely untapped DC portfolio starting with Green Lantern.”


There have been no mention on which superheros are going to be introduced, but with all the rumors lately I find it highly likely that we will see The Flash and Hawkman sometime soon.

Green LAntern will be the Blockbuster of the summer. Both THOR and XMEN were good but lacked something greater. I believe that GL will deliver and that MAN OF STEEL must then deliver something even greater.

Hopefully the first characters we see come to fruition before a JLA movie is made is FLASH and WW. HOPEFULLY the real reason that WW tv series was cancelled was because WB decided to just do a LIVE ADAPTATION to the BIG SCREEN. We shall see.

TOTALLY agree with Wolvie and Corndog - FINALLY give the Big Red Cheese his due and proper!!!!!

...and no 'let's make it a comedy' bullsh!t, WB/DC! SERIOUS CBM or go @#$! yourself!!!! It's bad enough you're screwing the fans with this whole comic book renumbering / reimaging crap...

Hawkman? Over Dr. Fate, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, etc.??? I surely hope not... I'd even rather see Green Arror over.... Hawkman?

@CorndogBurglar

I cant see them doing a Captain Marvel movie.
Most of the marketing budget would go on explaining to mainstream non-comic audiences that it doesnt have anything with thor, iron man and the avengers.

Its a similar type of thing as putting a character like Professor Hugo Strange in Nolan's Batman world like ours where mad scientists arent born with cliched comic book mad scientist names.

CorndogBurglar @ I have read a script for a potential Shazam movie and it was very good I hope that they will move forward bring Captain Marvel to life

@ theastonoshingcyclops

i think we need at least a five year break from batman.

since 1989-2012 we've had seven batman films,time to give someone else a chance to shine.

@Marvel72 you clearly know nothing of good movies. Batman is the best movie series out right now. Batman Begins was good then The Dark Knight became one of the highest grossing movies and got some oscar nominations. Yet you want a reboot.

@TheAstonoshingCyclops he just gets bored that there are so many batman movies out because he is a marvel fanboy. And apparently no one else can enjoy him either

I like how WB (not DC) rolls out their plan before seeing how much Green Lantern makes when it comes out. I'm looking forward to GL more than any other movie this summer and even I'M not optimistic about its box office potential.

marvel72 - 6/9/2011, 10:13 AM
its not just live action,its animated movies as well.

too much batman.

@ deadpooljustice

batman will be rebooted after nolan has finished.

hope i've cleared that up for all of you. DC better get on martian man hunter, and pray to god they don't fail. Martian man hunter will fail if it goes the Green Lantern rought of terrible CGI dependent shit. DC is on it's death bed and it's sad. i hope they can pull out, but it isn't looking good.

Suicide Squad would be f'n epic.

As for this article I don't buy it...WB always claim they are going full-steam with a JLA film but they never end up doing it.

I'll believe it when I see it for myself. Also...will Superman and Batman be included in the JLA film? I sure as heck hope so!

@marvel72 and @teabag- I agree. TDKR really isn't help offering much of a movie to garner motivation into seeing it.

Catwoman? She's hot, but can she help carry the movie?

Bane? I'm yawning. Tom Hardy in the movie? I'm passing out as I type this post.

@DCfan89 - Shazam on screen could be awesome. That and Legion of Superheroes are what I really want to see from DC.
DCfan89
DCfan89 - 6/9/2011, 10:40 AM
I really don't want to see captain marvel on the big screen.. WONDER WOMAN, FLASH, AQUAMAN should be a massive epic like avatar. Aquaman is an opera, his son was killed and he had his hand chopped off.. There's really an interesting story there I promise. Well, I it's done right

The Man of Steel better impress, because Synder has nothing else to back up his name. Sucker Punch was good, but not what it was hyped up to be. So my expectations are high, but borderline low.

Flash? Long overdue.

Aquaman? No. What is there like crime under water or something?.. xD

Hawkman? Never really read any of his stories, other than when he is with the League.

Shazam? I'm cool with that.

Wonder Woman? NBC needs to grow a pair, and just televise it, cause she is gonna look corny no matter what screen it will be showing on. She's a damn herione.

DC needs to do something and quick. They're [frick]ing themselves over with this whole rebbot of their entire universe. and TEA's right, we've had 22 years of BATMAN, good and bad, lets see something new.

Flash is well overdue, as well WW.

and i for one would LOVE to see AquaMan come to life, but I know i'm kinda in the minority with that one.
