Justice League My Way
Justice League is a movie everyone wants done right. In my opinion there are many way you can go about getting the job done and still have the audience wanting more. Marvel has its fan base there is no denying that but look at why they have this fan base. They are gear towards kids and have the action that their parents can enjoy. DC is not only for kids it for everyone from kids to adult fan boys like me but how do you get people on board with a movie like the Justice League. You go all out…
Things to emphasize
- A Villain Big Enough That the League Together Can Defeat
Now I know some of you are like of course they need that it’s not one superhero it’s a league. Right it is a league but just because it a league doesn’t mean the villain has to be large then life just tough enough. That is why I choose Imperiex he is tough and has an army at his command. Now you’re saying well that is exactly like Avengers, Well no your wrong. Avenger had an army lead by Thanos but you have to wait for his big screen appearance in Avengers 2. In the Justice League he will be right their laughing at the league as the fail to defeat him because they still don’t act as a team.
- Character Focus and Relationships
I would want the story to focus on how their relationships are towards each and their current situation. How does Batman feel about working on a team when everyone else has super powers? How is Wonder Woman dealing with the technology of Man’s World? Does Aquaman feel like he is spend more time on land then with his people? Has Superman accepted his role as a protector of the world? Is The Flash overwhelmed by the fact that he is part of something bigger than just him? How is Green Lantern dealing with police sector 2814 and being part of this team? And how did they get this far?
- Direction and Director
This is crucial to the whole franchise and future solo movies are the direction and director. Why is this important you ask? Simple CBM have been done horrible before by director that didn’t see the potential in create CBM. Look at X-Men Origin: Wolverine, the first half was spot on but the second failed miserably. That was poor direction on the director part and that is what happens when you don’t know your source material. There are plenty of directors out there that read comics and would love to get the chance to direct one. My director choices are Guy Ritchie, Zack Snyder, Louis Leterrier, Matthew Vaughn, and Olivier Megaton.
- Epic Story Arc
When I say Epic I mean it. I want a story arc not line, one that goes beyond just one movie. One with character you care about and villains you hate. A Story you can’t wait to see when they announce the release date. You see this movie has that potential but you need a good story arc to keep it going. The main thing going for the Dark Knight trilogy was the fact that it came full circle and ended where it started. I want this movie to do the same by have an overall villain(s) to carry us through to the next movie. So we can be like okay what is his plan now or better yet was that part of it.
- Casting
No one wants to see a movie that’s not star driven. This one is the most important thing to emphasize. The Justice League movie needs a really good solid cast. Henry Cavil as Superman is a pretty good choice because he has already carried a successful movie by himself with Immortals. With that being said you need other actors that complement each other the carry the movie along. Age is another fact that is need along with experience and the right look. Some of these things can be built upon but the look is hard pickup on.
Cast
Justice League – Heroes
Superman/Steven Strait

Steven Strait: (Age: 27/Height: 6' 2") Steven is perhaps best known for his role in 10,000 B.C. I wanted to cast a
relatively unknown for the role and someone original.
Batman/Jamie Dornan
Jamie Dornan: (Age: 31/Height: 6' 0") Jaime is perhaps best known for his role in the TV show Once Upon a Time. He
is not that much of a playboy for Bruce but I think he would nail Batman seriousness. He has the right look and charm
Bruce processes, and also the physical stature to be Batman.
The Flash/Steve Talley

Steve Talley: (Age: 31/Height: 6' 1") Steve is perhaps best known for his role as Dwight Stifler in later films of
the American Pie film series Beta House and Naked Mile. He is a funny actor and that is need for this role to lighten
the mood.
Wonder Woman/Leelee Sobieski

Aquaman/ Theo James

Yaya Alafia: (Age: 31/Height: 5' 5") Yaya is also a good actress who has appeared in the films like Tron: Legacy

Plot
Lex Luthor is running for President of the United States but Superman think there is something else going on behind the scenes. Superman paranoia is putting the other leaguers on edge including Batman. Batman is look in to another threat in the government itself a secret department call Cadmus where they are doing genetic experiment to combat the league if they every go rogue. All these is put on hold when what looks like a meteor is about to crash into the Earth but is revealed to be an alien being.
A good scene in the movie
Green Arrow stops a lady from getting mugged in an aisle. He ties up the gang of criminals for the cops to round up. The lady tries to thank him but shot up to the roof tops without a second thought. As he is running across roof tops he trips over something. He look back to see it was a batarang. Glancing over he see a figure in the darkness and shoots an arrow. The figure catches it with batting an eye.
Batman: Well that a warm welcome.
Arrow: Well… if you were anyone else I would feel sorry.
Batman: You know why I’m here.
Arrow: I’ll that you just like I told the Boy Scout. I’m not interested.
Batman: I know.
Arrow: Then why are you wasting my time?
Batman: You and I are not Superhero. We have no special abilities, no magic items, and we can fly.
Arrow: Tell me something I don’t know.
Batman: I know like me you can be asked to do something like group a when you without being push.
Arrow: So you’re here to push me?
Batman: Brute force is all we understand.
Arrow: You read my mind.
Arrow rushes towards Batman as he throws three batarangs. Arrow rolls under them as batman flips over him. Arrow shoot an arrow at Batman’s back but him flips backward dodging it but land with him back toward Arrow. Arrow throws a barrage punch at Batman. Batman still has his back facing Arrow but is able to defend himself from each punch. Angered by this Arrow tries a Judo toss but Batman counters and tosses him instead. Arrow land on him feet but drop smoke pellets to gain the upper hand. As Arrow is about to shoot another arrow he notices that they are gone. As the smoke clears Batman stands there holding his arrows in his hand. Arrow runs towards him.
Batman: Oliver we need you?
Arrow: How did you…
Batman: I know everything about you. Oliver Queen CEO of Queen Industries, Shipwrecked on an island
for five years that is when you lost your father. You came back to right his wrongs but end up helping
people along the way. That when you meet Roy. I could keep going.
Arrow: Why do you need me?
Batman: like I said you and I are the same. I need you to keep the league ground.
Arrow: isn’t that why they have you?
Batman: Yes…. But I can’t be there all the time.
Green Lantern arrives and teleports Batman and Arrow up to the Justice League's new Watchtower. Arrow
first sees the five other members of the League – Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Flash.
Batman: It wasn’t the league that wanted you here it was me.
End scene
You start with Justice League but you don’t stop there you open franchises inside the movie. Maybe a hint to the Teen Titan or the Dark Universe movie Del Toro is working on. Establish multiple directs to build upon like that and people will start talking. Tell me what you think of my Ideas in the comments below.
