My Justice League Movie! (EDITED FOR EASIER READING!)

My Justice League Movie! (EDITED FOR EASIER READING!)

If I were to do a big budget Justice League movie, I would definitely make it epic. It would have to be big, bigger than Star Wars/ Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. The movies would have to be shot back to back.

Editorial Opinion

Filed Under: Fan Fic

Start with a "World's Finest" movie, call it "JL: World's Finest"... Make it about Superman and Batman. Superman/ Batman should battle CADMUS in this film, and then end it with an Alien Armada moving into to Earth's orbit.



Do the follow up which would be produced at the same time as World's Finest, Call it "JLA". JLA should be made up of Flash (Barry Allen), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Green Arrow, Black Canary, and Aquaman. For JLA, I would not bring in the Trinity just yet, because if you look back at the original Justice League comics they weren't apart of it. Nor should the team actually go by JLA, but rather be a group of heroes who come together to battle a common foe... they aren't a team yet. But I would include a scene from secret origins where Jordan is bossing the others around and one of them is like "why should we do what you say you're not the leader we took a vote a long time ago that Flash would lead".



The Third Film should be "JL: Trinity", which will have Superman/Batman/ and Wonder Woman team up to battle the same alien army that was fought in JLA, only JL:Trinity will actually be taking place at the same time as JLA. This will be the Prequel trilogy.


Then, have the fourth film 1st of the new trilogy be titled "Justice League" where Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, GL, GA, BC, Flash and Aquaman are brought together by the Martian Manhunter to battle Brainiac and the Legion of Doom; who are actually being controlled by an Alien overlord who sent his army to earth in the past 3 movies. By the end of the movie, The group of heroes decide to make the team official.



We move into the 5th film entitled "Justice League: Crisis", in this film the League will battle the Furies. The Furies should be made up of Giganta, Harley Quinn, Mera, Livewire, and Granny Goodness as well as Brainiac and we'll finally be introduced to Darkseid.


In the final film, which would be entitled "Justice League: Darkness" will have the Justice League battle Mongul, Kalibak, Brainiac and finally Darkseid. In this epic film series, Brainiac would be what the Justice League would perceive as the ultimate threat to earth, but he's actually just a puppet like Darth Vader. In fact, it's actually Darkseid who's gonna serve and Emporer type role. And he chose the furies the way he did in order to show that his power doesn't just reach through the stars but also infinitely floods the Earth as well, same way with the Legion of Doom.


The entire cast should be made of little known actors with the exception of say Brainiac, Lex Luthor and Darkseid.

For the role of Lex Luthor I would choose Billy Zane.




Brainiac would need to be CGI but voiced by 2 people to give a computer like voice to it. I would choose both Jude Law and Jane Lynch.




Darkseid would have to be played by 2 actors as well, plus be partially CGI. I would choose Brian Thompson who played Shao Khan in MK:Annihilation, to perform him physically as well as do vocals but I would also have Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa who played Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat overlap his voice over Thompson's give give him an extremely evil and dark sounding voice.






That's how I'd do it... tell me what you liked and what you didn't like and why.

1. Write in paragraphs

2. Wonder Woman actually was in the original JLA comic, Superman and Batman weren't.

3. Shows like Young Justice show the justice league and JLU being show again on TV people know and think that Superman and Batman are big parts of the JLA. A movie without them would NEVER survive.

Where did you get the idea that in the original comics Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman weren't part of the Justice League? They were 3 of the 7 original members, in fact I think it was Superman who brought the team together.
In terms of their first appearance in the comics, Superman and Batman don't actually appear but are mentioned as also being members of the team.

@ ACirca... Wonder Woman might have been, but check your sources, Superman and Batman didn't join the league until sometime later they were actually apart of the Justice Society. and I know I didn't write in paragraph form people, I don't need 50 million people to tell me that. I wanted to hurry and get my thoughts out before I lost them, I will go back through and edit it though.

And, I knew when I wrote this, I hadn't used any "Black" Super heroes... why should I need to? To conform, so as everyone will be happy so I don't leave anyone out? Here's the thing, I chose who I did for specific reasons, I didn't choose any "black" super heroes for the same reason I didn't choose any asian, german, british, latino or native american superheroes. Martian Manhunter is capable of being each of these for the team, I think he should be played by a black actor, but he doesn't absolutely need to look black.

I think it's important to have Barry Allen, Hal Jordan and Oliver Queen interact with each other... in the comics these 3 are like a B-List version of Trinity. It's also important to show Black Canary and Green Arrow's relationship (pre- marriage), to show how they interact and how their chemistry meshes up.

I chose Barry Allan as apposed to Wally West, because the second film (JLA) needs him... he's the silent leader, even though the rest of the heroes voted on him to be the leader, he's willing to show Hal Jordan respect by letting him think he's the leader, and at the same time kind of feeding his ego. I chose Hal for the same reason, it's important to have that one person on the team that thinks he's in command and the others follow him simply because the real leader of the team has respect for him and want's to see what he's capable of... It's this single act that forges the friendship between Hal Jordan and Barry Allen.

I don't think John Stewart would have worked well in the original formation of the League simply because during this time, he'd still be a rookie GL and he'd still be an agry black man who thinks the world owes him everything. If he were on the team I could seen him shoot out a line like, "So you chose to include me to meet your quota huh..." That's not what I wanted to do with this film series...

The Justice League isn't just a team of superheroes who have no interaction with each other outside of their superhero identities, they simply put a group of Super-Friends who know they are more powerful together and can take on any threat. So if you're gonna do a Justice League movie you need to build it on that. And of course you're gonna have inner team trouble... Batman wouldn't trust Green Arrow right off the bat, because he knows GA's secret identity and knows the type of person he was before he was shipwrecked. Batman has a hard time accepting that Ollie has changed... Batman's also very paranoid of the rest of the team ie. Superman, Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern... simply because they have so much power.

I think having Wonder Woman there as a warrior princess, she's gonna immediately be attracted to Superman but when she realizes her advances are going unnoticed she begins to develop chemistry with Batman... I also think it's important to include Aquaman because we can have the back story be that Atlantis and Themascira have a bitter trade agreement, they were at one time at war but made a truce. This will cause tensions between Wonder Woman and Aquaman, and the drama the team needs until eventually during battle they help each other and in turn they forge a new found respect for each other.

Ok, you're missing the point of wonder woman that i had.... I said she was attracted to Superman because he's the only one who's more powerful than she is... she's been trapped on an island with all women her entire life... Superman would be her prototypical partner... But when he doesn't seem to acknowledge her attraction, she kinda brushes it off and the more she fights along side Batman, the more she starts to see him as her equal and possible mate. I'm not turning her into a teeny bopper googoo eyed lil girl, i'm making her a realistic woman who's never been laid. As for John Stewart, I just can't see it... he's to militant and in his early days he was the "Angry Black Man" I'm not intending to seem racist, that's not my intent, I just have my image of the perfect Justice League. I said MMH could be all the races because he literally can, he's a shape shifter... i didn't say it to be offensive.

oh ok JokerFan... lemme ask you something... what articles have you written? lemme know and the rest of us know so that we can read them and rip them to shreds like you do with everyone else's articles... This is an editorial because it's an opinion piece. It's not fanfic as you state simply because it's not a completed story board. BTW Billy Zane is a pretty well known actor... Titanic, The Phantom, Back to the Future, Charmed, Tombstone, well hell I could go on and on but his filmography speaks for itself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_zane#Filmography... BTW, have you even read a comic? For years there have been comics putting Wonder Woman as a love interest... you have this image of Wonder Woman in your itty bitty skull that says because she's this warrior woman, she's not allowed to experience human feelings... For years in comics, there's been stories about Superman and Wonder Woman pre-clark and Lois... there's been stories about Batman and Wonder Woman but both realize they can't act on their feelings for each other because of Batman's mission. So let me ask this... people are so worried about superheroes "relating" to the every man, but you're so against Wonder Woman relating to the "every woman". Let me ask you, you say a Martian can't represent a minority? why? Martian Manhunter is capable of experiencing every thing a minority is capable of experiencing... all it takes is 1 day as a black man or an asian or a latino. He's a telepath he's capable of feeling everything... he feels their pain, anger, resentment, sadness, joy etc. So tell me JokerFanHAhaHA... how can he not represent minorities? he's an alien... an illegal alien in a place that doesn't understand him let alone accept him... he was a slave to human science who didn't understand him. He is a minority... Now you can claim that Superman is also a minority but that's not completely true... he was raised a human... he was accepted as a human... no one knew he wasn't human... he was raised here from birth... he is human. He is the best of humanity. MMH is still trying to find his place in a strange world just as black slaves had to do when they were freed. So you say my editorial is "Bullshit"... what I think is bullshit is your narrow minded view of comic book superheroes. What I think is "Bullshit" is your comic book knowledge impotence. Every article I read, you have some rude comment to make... "you need to find yourself a girl mate" or are you just the kinda guy who spanks off to pictures of Wonder Woman in holding a sword with her clothes all torn... I bet if I looked at your computer I'd find google searches for "Wonder Woman nude" wouldn't I...

Do you have nothing better to do than criticize other people's work... try gettin laid or something... All you do on here is criticize... what is your deal anyway... I have yet to read a decent comment from you on any article. btw... did I ever say that was herprimary goal? no... this character build up would span the course of all 6 films... it's not like i said she be like "Oh the big blue boyscout doesn't want me so I'm gonna try to get in the Dark Knight's pants." No... it's a way of humanizing her... btw... I put Martian Manhunter in there to relate to all minorities not just one group... what you're saying is we have to have a black hero in there to relate to black people... well under that train of thought, why don't we make Superman Latino, and Batman Gay, oh how about we make Flash chinese and black canary a lesbian, Aquaman a racist and Green Arrow a midget. when hollywood tries to please everyone they end up destroying the original material and raping the heroes we all admire. A Black Man can relate to Martian Manhunter just as well as a latino or chinese or a homosexual or an illegal immigrant or a white person or a man or woman... Martian Manhunter is a universal superhero, as I've said before, being a powerful telepath and shape shifter, he knows what everyone's experiences are the poor, the weak, the strong, the minorities widows/ widowers, orphans... etc. etc. etc. it's what makes him who he is.. he literally holds the weight of the entire world on his shoulders... if there's anyone who can't relate to him then they aren't paying attention. He wasn't sent to earth as a child... he watched as his homeworld waged civil war, he watched his wife and children die, he watched as his entire society (friends, family etc.) get wiped out. And then he comes to Earth only to be enslaved by government scientists and ran tests on as his mind watches over all humanity and a flood of emotion devourers his very soul... But he sees a spark of hope in humanity. So tell me again how you know the source material better than me and how wrong I got it. I'm dieing for a response cuz I honestly haven't read anything from you that would even suggest that you're nothing more than a wanna be comic book fan who has nothing better to do than judge other people's work.

no what pisses me off are people like you who constantly talk shit about people's articles on here... If you noticed, I don't take all criticism personally... people commented on my article not being spaced well enough to read so I went back and edited it. I tried explaining my position on both Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter on several occasions through the course of these comments, and yet all you do is shoot every single thing I say down... I know the source material, I know each of the characters like the back of my hand... I know how they'd interact. Long before "The Dark Knight Rises" was even in pre-production or even written, I commented on an article about how I would do the next batman movie which I said would involve Bane as a member of the League of Shadows and body guard to Talia... the one thing I got wrong was that I had said I could see Azrael also as a member of the league of shadows and the one who takes the blame for killing Harvey Dent... That is the 1 and only thing I got wrong in my comment.. So yes, I think I know the DC universe pretty damn well, well enough to get irritated by part time fanboys who have little knowledge of the material, who say that Wonder Woman would never do that, Wonder Woman can't be anyone's love interest... look back at the source material before you post idiotic comments on articles. This is a site for Comic book fans, and I put my article out there for them, those who actually know a little bit about the material and not like to pretend they do. Also I made those comments about you simply because you're so busy judging everyone else, that I thought I'd turn the tables and publically humiliate you as you do everyone else on here. Sure you give some positive feedback, but your negative feedback out weighs your positive feedback. you're a vulture who feeds on negativity and negatively judging articles on here without any serious knowledge of the source material.

GSpawn - 9/17/2012, 12:04 PM
No No no this article is all wrong and not just with the format, I'll list them to help ya out to not make such a dumb article
1) little bit of a problem I have with your choice of villains like granny goodness or just the furies: you're not bringing out what the justice league can do with those kinds of villains like granny goodness, no one wants to see her on screen unless she has a minor role and harley cannot match up to the likes of superman or flash, none of them really can, with JL you need to think of how to bring out the league's powers in full force

2)WW WAS in the original Justice league, superman and batman weren't so she should be included and to be honest you need superman and batman for this film to thrive, look at what WB did with GL, you really think they'll do great with a character not batman or superman in the mix?

3)little bit of a flaw in logic there: if superman batman and ww fight the alien armada in the prequels you want, why wouldn't they just help out GL, canary, flash, and green arrow? that completely diminishes the team because you're proving that only 3 heroes are needed to defeat them lol just have them all be on the team after the world's finest

4)again you're diminishing the character of brainiac by making him a darth vader type of role: Brainiac should be....brainiac for example: luthor once tried to trick brainiac to do his bidding and entered a timer which would explode if brains tried tampering with it, however brainiac tricked him and made luthor hypnotized, its completely out of chracter for brainiac to be serving darkseid because brainiac is a manipulating bastard, not a puppet lol

Maybe you should consider reading a comic before inputting ideas making no sense next time....just saying
lanternstorm
lanternstorm - 9/17/2012, 12:28 PM
@ Mike Hunt... I never said it would take only 3 heroes to defeat the alien armada... re-read... The JL don't even become a team until the 4th film... Harley may not be able to stand against Superman but she's psychic enough to try and smart enough to figure out how to bring him to her level... she is after all the Joker's protege... according to you Brainiac wouldn't serve Darkseid??? maybe it's you who should read a comic... he has in multiple stories... Darkseid is completely capable of enslaving Brainiac especially if you don't make him an alien but rather a computer from Krypton or if you have them working together for a common goal... As for the prequels, With Trinity basically occurring at the exact same time as JLA, it would be quite possible that Trinity are not at the same location as the others... And yes I do think if given the right director and writer they can do a film without Superman and Batman justice... If you put either of those 2 into the second film the focus will be almost completely on them and not the rest of the team... the audience needs the chance to get to "know" the other heroes... they need to experience the character development and Green Lantern, Flash and Green Arrow need the chance to develop their strong bond... Aquaman needs time to be seen as someone other than a half fish who can speak with other fish... and Black Canary needs time for character development... If you just throw Batman and Superman in there with them, no one would really care about the other heroes. Just like if you just throw Wonder Woman in with them... Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman have a special friendship and they need a chance to develop that in JL: Trinity... JL: World's Finest being a Superman/ Batman film would get people interested in the film series which is why it would be first. JLA would then give people a chance to know who the other heroes are. then JL: Trinity would develop Wonder Woman and her relationship with Superman and Batman and by the end of Trinity we see all the heroes in different places watching in horror as the alien armada is attacking earth wondering how they can stop them separately or in their little groups. Justice League, the 4th film would bring everyone together. So the audience will be able to connect with atleast one of the heroes if not all and care about what happens to them. That's why I would make it atleast a 6 part film series which each movie being atleast 3 hours long and each movie filmed back to back.

@lancestorm
1) I NEVER said Brainiac shouldn't serve darkseid, I said was he shouldn't be portrayed as a villain who follows orders and just take it, do you know how many times brainiac has [frick]ed over luthor or even darkseid himself, yeah its diminishing when he isn't what he's supposed to be lol look at the JL tv show episode when darkseid struck a deal with brainiac, both of which had the intention of working TOGETHER not under order

2)you really think joker's protege can outsmart superman? LOL you must be kidding, harley has been tricked MILLIONS of times by batman and others, superman isn't an idiot to fall for HQ's tricks

3)Again look at what I wrote again, I said its again DIMINISHING to separate the trinity from the JL (and yes WW should be included, lets not kid ourselves she's no bats or supes in terms of popularity) when they would come TOGETHER to fight an alien invasion lol, why separate into 3 against an army when you can join up and add numbers to the team?you say they'd occur at different locations but batman, superman, nor wonder woman would find out other heroes are fighting and go "hmm, lets go help them out, we're going to get our asses kicked"

4)if the audience REALLY needs to know the characters after solo films (yes I know there's the possibility of a cracked multiverse, audiences would still know the heroes and their egos and powers) then they shouldn't be watching the JL and to your point of developing the heroes why separate the relationships when you could simply put them in a film and build off that?in avengers was the focus put off the other heroes JUST because IM and cap were in it? no they all were equal and interesting enough with the two mainstays there, its not hard for JL to do it, again go back to the JL show, bats and supes were there and the others were still interesting

you need to understand just because supes and bats are there JL with the other heroes can still be interesting lance

for your #3... re-read my article and my response... You aren't quite grasping the concept. they do come together in the 4th film entitled Justice League... in the second film they aren't even an official team yet they're just a group of individual heroes who end up fighting together just like in Trinity Superman and Batman are already battling together when Wonder Woman joins them, and then in the 4th film all the heroes are brought together by Martian Manhunter... as for Harley Quinn... she's an educated woman a psychiatrist have you ever stopped to think that she's only playing an idiot role so that her enemies and allies underestimate her... she has after all surprised people including the Joker and Batman several times... Think about it, give her a kryptonite ring or handbuzzer or hell even a gun with kryptonite bullets and yes she'd be able to hold her own... She's screwed up and intelligent enough to be able to dig into Superman's psyche just enough to get him off guard... People truly underestimate HQ. The point of a 6 part epic film series with each movie being 3 hours long is so they wouldn't have to do Solo movies.
GSpawn
GSpawn - 9/17/2012, 1:56 PM
@Lance
I do grasp your concept I'm saying its stupid they become the JL IN THE FOURTH MOVIE!trinity/world's finest should be films entirely different from the JLA, they shouldn't be connected to the JLA at all hell in the comics originally world's finest WAS JLA, superman just didn't team with batman, he did so with flash, dr strange, etc, the fact they aren't in your opinion fighting together and aren't the JLA is stupid lol, what do you think people will say when they see GL and flash fighting together? team up? lol why waste time with all the world's finest shit when its uneeded when you can just do....JLA and THEN in the first film martian manhunter brings them together, its just uneeded to do
worlds finest
trinity
JLA
then full on JLA when it could be JLA from the get go and if you still think bats and supes would take attention away re read solution #4 on my previous post

and you are Overestimating HQ, yes at times she can be smart, but she's not so smart to the point if you put her in perspective, she lost the whole "psychiatrist" title when she was fooled by joker like an idiot, and if you still believe she's smart enough for supes resort to arkham asylum or AC like example: she tried to trap batman in a cell when she was already caught, and then he escaped, hell in the animated cartoon (which was her original introduction to people, not comics) was a complete idiot and who always was abused by joker, not some genius psycho who can stand toe to toe with superman or any other hero like him like you're making her out to be lance

Secondly, solo movies aren't needed in this day and age nor are Origin movies needed... the cartoons etc. have all taken care of that... For origins of the characters in JLA all you really have to do is a flash through at the beginning of the movie like they did with the Spider-man sequels of what happened previously...

I gave my reasons for not wanting John Stewart in the film, and it's not because he's "Black" as I deduced you were long before you said you were. My reasoning for not wanting John Stewart is because he's to militant, to much of a african american racist (when he first appeared in comics up until the 90's)... by african american racist lemme clarify, when he first hit comics up until the last 20 years, he whole heartedly believed that all of his problems were brought on because he was black by white people. In every issue he was in, he was constantly bitching about it. I don't think a character like that belongs in a movie that revolves around a team, because I can only imagine that he'd have some line in it where he says "Oh I can't be leader because I'm Black Right"... Personally I absolutely hate people like that. I don't hate them because of their skin color, but because they feel the world owes them everything. I'm not saying that's how all black people are either, but that is how John Stewart was when he hit comics. I'm not racist and I don't make racist remarks. When I say, if you truly read what I say, is based on fact. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a black superhero in the movies or even a Justice League movie, What I'm saying is if they're going to make a Justice League movie use the characters who were originally associated with the Justice League. I mean seriously, you're reading WAAAAAAAAAAAY to much into my comments... read them completely through. when I made the comment "well under that train of thought, why don't we make Superman Latino, and Batman Gay, oh how about we make Flash chinese and black canary a lesbian, Aquaman a racist and Green Arrow a midget. when hollywood tries to please everyone they end up destroying the original material and raping the heroes we all admire. A Black Man can relate to Martian Manhunter just as well as a latino or chinese or a homosexual or an illegal immigrant or a white person or a man or woman... Martian Manhunter is a universal superhero, as I've said before, being a powerful telepath and shape shifter, he knows what everyone's experiences are the poor, the weak, the strong, the minorities widows/ widowers, orphans... etc. etc. etc. "


What I meant was, don't go changing the original heroes. Superman's been white since he was created, don't change that other wise he's gonna have a completely different outlook on the world. Just like it angered me when DC introduced the Gay Green Lantern of the other Earth. Alan Scott wasn't Gay in the original comics so don't change him... if you want gay, black, latino etc. superheroes create them don't change existing ones to fit the status quo. Some of my favorite comic book characters are ethnic. I like both the Ronnie Raymond and Jason Rousch Firestorm, I like Steel and Vaporlock, I like Spawn etc. You make the comment that black people don't get to be superheroes in movies... what about Spawn, Steel, The Falcon (in the upcoming Capt. America 2 movie), Nick Fury (which I thought was better black than he was white), Storm, etc. etc. etc. nobody complained because there wasn't a black hero in Fantastic Four, nor did they complain when there wasn't one in Watchmen, or because the villain was black in Daredevil...

Now I'm gonna make a comment,don't take it a racist.. but seriously people who complain about these things need to get over themselves. there's no gay superheroes, there's a small portion of female superheroes, latino, chinese etc. in movies... blacks aren't the only ones.

Ok, to your first point... yes I have felt discrimination. As a child I was short and fat. plus at the time my last name was Hickey. when I moved to the town of my dad's side of the family I was constantly threatened, ridiculed and looked down upon by police and others because my last name wasn't the most respected in that town. I have taken my mother's maiden name now (Cornthwaite), but I still feel the repercussions. In Highschool, I was the only person in the entire school who dressed in black all the time (gothic) and this was during the time of Columbine, so I was constantly being harassed by teachers and students because they thought I was gonna blow up the place or shoot people... Imagine going to the rest room and seeing "Shannon Hickey (my name) is the anti-christ. Shannon Hickey is the unibomber, Shannon Hickey's gonna blow up the school." And on top of that, I lived in a trailer park so I was to many "trailer trash" simply because i moved there from the family farm. When I lived in Florida, many people thought I was a racist simply because I was bald and had tattoos, and so they treated me as such. Imagine being the outcast of a family who's old school Catholic simply because you weren't raised Catholic and have tattoos and dress differently from the rest of the family and thus you get treated like shit by your own flesh and blood. Imagine, living in a black neighborhood and having your life threatened because you're white. And yes I am from several nationalities who have been treated just as badly if not worse than african american's before I was born. I'm Irish, Scotch, Dutch, German, Czech, English, French, Sioux Indian, and Crow Indian. My ancestry extends back to both sides of the Civil War and even to the Revolutionary War. I know discrimination, I lived it all my life... Blacks aren't the only ones. And I never said I had a problem with a black Green Lantern... I think John Stewart should be in a movie, but not just yet. I think you need to develop Guy Gardner in a movie first and then do John, but for the First Justice League movie, it needs to be Hal.
