It's no surprise that I have not been a supporter of a Justice League film ever since it's announcement. It's gonna be extremely hard to pull of considering that Marvel beat them to the punch as far as assembling a team movie and the alien threat. Justice League has a chance to be a solid summer blockbuster but no where near the success, popularity or as good as The Avengers. Well, in my opinion anyways. But this is what I suggest.
Director: Gore Verbinski
The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is all I really need to say. He has the scope needed, he can bring an epic feel to it and has the resume of films to prove he can pull this off. Not to mention he has more than one film to be at the Oscars (He may not be nominated for best director but he has had a movie be in "the best_movie" catagory, Rango is an example). If Warner Bros. want a damn good Justice League movie, get THIS guy.
Roster: I say just have Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern (preferably Hal Jordan) and Martian Manhunter. It just seems to have a better roster for a live action movie, rather than having Aquaman on the team.
Villain: I know pretty much everyone isn't fond of the idea, but it is a way to seperate themselves from The Avengers. Pick Lobo to be the bad guy, but have him be a bounty hunter that Darkseid hires to take out the Justice League. It seems like a cool way to have the film go.
I feel with the above listed, we could have a solid Justice League movie that may not be Avengers good but generate enough box office numbers to bring up the possibility of a sequel. No build up for it, just have them come out with Justice League and make it a quality film that hopefully will be fun, good entertainment, sure it would be "dark and mature" but I think it could help seperate itself from Avengers. Dont take the "Nolan way" of things and make it realistic, just make a quality movie that can rival that of Avengers. Even if the villain of choice isn't a popular choice. But we can't go straight into the biggest baddie of all and expect a good movie now can we?
These are my ideas and suggestions. Agree, disagree? Like, dislike? Comment below and be respectful.
