justice league how can it be done

Okay so the dark knight rises has been out for awhile now and most of us have probably seen it so i think its okay to openly talk about stuff right now this article how ever is about dc/wb making there way towards a justice league movie so there shouldn't be to much DKR spoilers but just in case if you haven't seen it yet then you read at your own risk but anyway here is what i think needs to happen

Editorial Opinion

So as most of you know after marvel had pretty much own the summer with the avengers DC comics/Waner bros. have issued that they are now going ahead with there own little team-up of crime fighters also known as the justice league. but if this is something they truly want to accomplish and well they have some major over hauling they need to do before anything else can go forward here is what in my opinion needs to happen.

1) A shared universe so far all dc has done is make there heroes as if they are in there own world which although some where were great don't get me wrong but this one of those moments that some body either DC or WB needs to step in and say something

2) start getting other heroes out there beyond just its in the works stage
and not just sups and bats i kept tabs on the San Deigo comic con this year an offense to DC but Marvel kind of kick the crap out you guys in presentation i mean really the not only announce what was in there works but they even had logos for them test footage concept drawings and even suit on display they cam prepared all DC had to show was superman which i am excited for but you guys could have been showing something else regarding a flash wonder woman the statues of the green lantern heck i would be glade to hear something about aqua-man and I'm not even a fan of his.

3) a worlds finest Batman/superman team up. okay so I'm a bit on the fence about this because doing this before a JL movie might be a good natural segway. Because one the justice league doesn't form like the avengers do
they just kind of happen but on the bad side of doing this DC has something Marvel doesn't Batman and superman these guys are esaliy the most well know heroes around the world not kidding there's not an area that you can go and some one isn't going to know the iconic bat emblem and S shield because of that right there any time there in the picture with the other heroes the presence its going to be more domanit over the others they've got to figure out how to make them blend more with the team and doing a bats/sups team-up before hand might not be the best thing to do.

4) WB let DC make to movies this might be hard to swallow but take a bit of a footnote from Marvel here the reason there cinematic universe work so well was be cause they made them the comic-book company you know the ones who make to bloody stories. What Paramount/Disney did was pretty much say well help distribute and endorse and as long as you bring in the money you wont hear from us that's whats got to happen the end.

5) now here this is what think needs to happen with each character


SUPERMAN: okay as far as sups goes Chris Nolan and Zach Snyder are reintroducing him next summer which i am excited for so far its already looking better bu the moment and if Man of Steel dose well the this needs to be the spring board again no more individual universes start connecting them.

Actors to play him
Henry Cavil

BATMAN: now that Chris and Bale has pretty much decided to hang up the cowl
a new batman will need to be sought out now the biggest argument going around is do we expand or reboot well first off what ever they decide they need to leave it alone for awhile bales batman is still to fresh and doing a complete redo in the next 2 years would be kind of a slap in face in my opinion. but if it were me i would go ahead and make the Justice league movie with bats in it an then go back and do him individually because at this point if people don't know how becomes Batman by now then to me that's there loss as far as reboots go i would do one where batman can be incorporated with the other heroes and maybe make his gadgets a bit more sifi but i wouldn't make it a complete reboot I would still find a way to so that Nolan's bat still somewhat happened yeas he did that good of a job. his next few villains would also be more of the super ability side of things because if the caped crusader is going to be hanging around the other heroes that have actual powers then we need to so batman can handle those kinds of villains not just phyco clowns ninjas and terrorists. and yes of course robin will need to show up eventually.

actors that could play him. well since Bale has pretty much said hes done
who could be the one to take over

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: okay i know he was john Blake and that he found the bat cave at the end but i wouldn't quite mind seeing him as short of a young Bruce Wayne he might make a a pretty good Batman.

Michal Fassbender: mmmmm I'm not quite so on board i mean he might make a good Bruce in a 007 kind of way but not so much the bat side of things.

Hugh Jackman: okay before anybody bites my head off he is on the lower end of the list because i know he pretty much owns the wolverine role.

Eric Bana: he kind of looks like bale a little and we know he can get pretty angry and he already played one Bruce its one we would like to forget but none the less i could kind of see it.

GREEN LANTERN: okay so we can all establish that last years attempt at Hal Jordan left a pretty bad taste in everybody's mouth but there still seems to be some spereation as to where to go from here and so far Ive heard 3 options (C) sequel okay so this wouldn't be my first choice just because trying to redeem that is going to be to hard to convince people to buy into to it but the studio did say they where planning on making it darker and based on the ending it could pit Hal against Sinestro which could be Ryan/Hals shinning moment but i still don't think it merits a sequel. (B) a sequel that acts as a reboot now marvel tried that twice with the punisher and ghost rider and so far that made things kind of confusing and didn't leave much better of a view but maybe DC can get this right if they choose to go that rout. (A) reboot this would be my option i would have no issue on if its to soon or not to say lets go back to the drawing board on this one better story, better casting, better everything really but thats just me.

people who could play Hal Jordan

Chris Pine: no seriously go watch the new star trek and tell that's not exactly Hal Jordan those two characters are about on in the same

Ryan Reynolds: again I'm all for a second chance and there were some parts that weren't all that bad.

FLASH: okay this is one of those get beyond the dream stage and start getting something done hes been in talks since i was a freshmen in high school i understand you guys need to make sure you make a good story and a good movie and that you dont want to rush things but whose to say you cant put out a logo or announce a director something its time to stop dragging our feet on this

actor to play him Barry Allen
Ryan Gosiling

WONDER WOMAN: again same as the flash

Actress to play her
Kate Beckinsale: come on somebody tell me I"m wrong she practically oozes out amazonian princess warrior just saying

Gina Carano: okay yes see not much of a actress but she is trying at and we all know she can kick butt literally so with a bit of creativity i could see it.

MARTIAN MANHUNTER: okay if they decide to go this rout then he need to be CGIed a lot like what they did for the silver surfer and add a voice over it

people who could voice it
Laurence Fishburne: yes i know hes playing parry white in the upcoming MoS movie but whose to say he cant do both he has that deep voice that they always portray him to have.

Aguaman: in all honesty i dont want him as part of the formation maybe in a sequel or something but not in the original sorry but he is by far the lamest hero ever in my opinion i mean really even his side kicks are cooler than him so yeah



so that's my view on things let me know what you guys thinks

Aquaman is actually a badass. Look at him in post-flashpoint Justice League in his first appearance. Go to features and look at The podcast for Aquaman! It makes him seem like badass.

I think what people are forgetting is the time schedule.
If there is going to be a big build up to the JLA, like the MCU, then we will be waiting at least 4 more years for a JLA film, maybe more. I'm fine with that but I don't think most fanboys want to wait that long. If they dive into a JLA film right after MOS, then people will also be complaining that it's rushed.

@dezdigi Quite honestly, I feel fanboys would rather the process be done right over a series of time as opposed to quickly (however brilliantly) thrown together.

@newdisc416 Your point, while on the vague side, are similar in directive to those points constantly discussed on this site. Not to say they don't need reiteration, because one can never talk too much about something, but do understand there are many discussions being held about this sort of thing. Due to the lack of depth in the article, it may have been a better move to join those discussions rather than separating from the pack.

Also, I don't mean to focus my response on this, but the level of grammatical error was so far gone that I found it absolutely head-spinning to read through. I got all of the points, so be sure of my interpretive effort. Just be mindful that the harder your work is to read and therefore understand, the harder it will be for others to process what you are saying. You have an opportunity to vocalize your thoughts here, don't mute yourself.

As for the path for a Justice League movie, I feel the franchise would benefit from the original seven Leaguers as well as building up to an epic debut, but in a varied way that is not like Marvel. Your skepticism of a World's Finest movie seems plausible, but I would remind you that if done right (by introducing the characters in solo films first), then a World's Finest (Batman and Superman, along with Wonder Woman) would be a great "half-marker" for a JL film. Same goes with a GL and Flash team up. As for MM and Aquaman, these two characters would be worked into the actual JL plot as to space out the build up, but solo films should be an imperative measure for DC's success. By doing this, Warner Bros and DC would be taking the Marvel formula and saying, "how can we do better?" not "how can we be different?" or "how do we make our work original?" Because when it all comes down to the two film's presence, they will be compared. It's unavoidable. The best DC can do is learn from and build upon what's already provided. Seeking to start from scratch in raw manner, is an adolescent mistake.

@DanteSparda - "I hope WB the best of luck with the JLA, but they could had started the road to a JLA movie a long time ago"

WB was going to start a JL movie back in 2007 before the writers strike put it on hold. While Disney bought marvel back in 2009, and the success of Ironman & TIH coming out the previous year, decided to go ahead and complete their goal. WB on the other hand, knew Nolans batman wasn't going to be included with a JL adaptation. They went ahead with a rushed GL and now they [frick]ed up. All this sh*t I just typed seems obvious, but the point is WB had a JL movie in development. It was just put on hold.

@Advocate,
I agree. I discussed my "plan" on another thread. The author of that article had a more detailed plan and laid out schedule for a seven or eight film build up to the JLA . I thought a more practical plan was to release maybe four or five films leading to the JLA in 2016. In order to do this, WB would have to release more than one DC (JLA member) film per year. I have my doubts that they will commit to more than one of these per year.

Sorry, not finished. I've read several editorials on this site suggesting what WB should do in order to lead up to a JLA film. So far, I don't think anyone has quite hit the nail on the head as of yet. If WB is going to connect their cinematic universe as Marvel has, they need to begin with MOS. WB does not seem committed yet.
If they were ready, this is a logical plan:
2013-MOS-after credit scene teasing another hero (Martian Manhunter?)
2014-The Flash and WW (Also with after-credit scenes featuring a build up to JLA)
2015-GL Sequel or Reboot (Definite JLA tease, possibly a threat to the Lantern Corps) and MOS sequel (Direct lead in to JLA)
2016-JLA (reintroduce Batman as an established hero, the badass grumpy know-it-all we all love)
2015

Not following the Marvel way and doing the team-up movie of them all together BEFORE their spin-off films seems terribly risky. I mean the odds of that working yet alone finding the right actors and actresses to portray the individual superheroes in the first place and getting them all together - well.... the odds are just astronomical.

Imagine if Marvel had done the same, contacted RDJ, Hemsworth, Evans, Ruffalo, Johansson and Jackson and said "hey lets do a multi-million dollar Avengers movie!" - yeeeah, never gonna work. Bad idea DC.
I believe the only reason they would consider such a crazy and reckless financial risk would be to get something.....anything, in the pipeline competition-wise before the Marvel Phase2 / Phase 3 (and beyond) movies-production juggernaut becomes even more unstoppable.

Are we still arguing about whether this movie can possibly be done? No it can't be and won't be because WB doesn't care enough to do it right if at all.

@Dante - Green Hornet is DC? Don't forget Jonah Hex. That was a piece of Sh*t. Like you said, they do now have opportunities to get other franchises going. But, hell they can't even or want to even do a Aquaman Animated feature. I mean WOW. WB can't even expand on some things in the Animated Universe. Yea, and that cancelled WW pilot just shows us how much help they need outside of batman. Disappointing

wow...anybody can be a writer these days...this is just utterly horrendous...you can't even spell let alone write a whole article...
the problem with DC's characters is that they are all godlike (except the rich dude with the pointy ears)...it's like the only thing that could go toe to toe with them all is the devil himself...marvel's characters are more human which makes it easier to portray in movies...but it would really be awesome if they will be able to pull it off...but it's probably too late as marvel is already pretty busy with their sequels and stuff...

Not trolling or anything, but come on, put a little more effort into this. It seems as if you wrote this on a quick 5 minute break from your high school class. It's obvious you hate using periods and connecting sentences along with using spell check.

Unfortunately, this article, which is like the millionth article about how the "JLA can be done" has pushed down the work of other writers who actually put in effort in their editorials.

I do see your point in the JLA, but man I couldn't really finish this article and please go read an Aquaman comic, rather than just base your opinion on what the mainstream thinks of him.
