Vandal Savage as Justice League movie villain

I've been watching Vandal Savage in action for a while now and here is why I think he'll be a great Live Action Justice League movie villain.

First let me tell you who Vandal Savage is -

Vandal Savage... A Primitive Man in DC universe... Born 40,000 years ago.... He with his primitive group Witness a Meteor fall on ground during a meteor shower.... His other Group member got afraid and ran away.... He stayed and sleep with the hot meteor in that cold night....
from the next day(back in 40,000 BC.) He became a Super Human, capable of Super Brain, and Regenerating his Body from damage at a high speed and never aging..
He have been in many profession, but mostly as a "conqueror" willing to rule human kind...
his last wish that I know of is to make Earth the new center of Galactic Union.




I saw Vandal Savage first time as a villain in Justice League Animated series. He was one ruthless villain manipulating things behind the scenes living through the ages and an amazing backup story. This was the time I became fan of this character.
Later he showed up in Justice League Doom where he was cleverly written in place of Ra's Al Ghul and without having close ties to Batman he managed to steal his plans and kick Justice League's ass. And then if that was no impressive he showed up on Young Justice ( I still curse the people who canceled the show) manipulating the series of events with The Light that put Justice League in trouble on universal level.



I've been reading Vandal's origins in Demon Knights and let me tell you it is equally badass. The way he is portrayed in that series one can imagine what would have caused him to become what he is now.



The best thing about this guy is that he never shows up by himself but instead he manipulates a chain of events that lead to the story. He is a mix of Ra's Al Ghul and Lex Luthor and still more powerful than both of them and as a movie villain he'll be 100 times better than Darksied. For a Nolan'ish movie (that I wont prefer but seems like the ultimate fate) he is the best option for a realistic villain that is not from Batman's rogue gallery.



I really want to see this guy on screen. If Marvel had to introduce this guy as Ultimate villain they would have done that by either making a Blackhawks or some DC movie set in World War 2 then later putting him against JSA in a Justice Society of America movie and then slowly clearing his intentions with individual Superhero movies end credits. But because that is not going to happen and Warner Bros want a Justice League movie by 2015 so the best option is to introduce him in a Legion of Doom or Secret Society type storyline or show him manipulating Project Cadmus.



I wont make it long, hope you guys understood what I meant. So in the end here is the actor I'll like to play him on screen.



I've heard that Comic Book Movie makers read this site so if they get the idea then do give me some credit.

I think Vandal Savage could be pretty cool. But I am not sure if he is best for the first movie.

I really am not a fan of using the same actors that played Marvel characters.

I think Mongul and the warworld could be neat to see. Just imagine waking up and seeing a second moon in the sky. That would be pretty scary & would change the weather too.

Also having Brainiac could be interesting. You could make him like Skynet taking control of robots to military vehicles. Plus he could make his own robots too. Just imagine you driving your car. Then all of a sudden Brainiac appeares and takes hold of it. Making it a deadly ride.

Brainiac could be like Robopocalypse seeing as that film is canceled.

Back to Savage I do think he is perfect but not right away. The reason I say that is because he has been around a long time. So he would wait for the perfect time. He has been on Earth forever. Meaning big events that shaped the world he had a hand in. Be it building things like the Roman Empire to causing WW2. He brought the destruction of Atlantis.

You name it he caused it. He would be the leader to the New World Order. So he would put a big group together of Powerful beings that could take down the Justice League. So he watched how JL handled problems like Brainiac & changed how he would handle them. Plus with how he shaped Earth he would be freaking rich.

So that is why for the first or second JL movie I would not have him be the villain. Because he wants to leave nothing to chance that would cost him ruling Earth.

Savage is a great option!!!!! @Levi I am sure u have a big lack of knowledge of the character, he's got some great stories on JL and JLU AS and in comic books he is a big son of a gun!!! And u right he has got no chancea against Darkseid si he would be perfect for the first one, justifying him in the story? Well he has always been around and JL just got together as a team so they got on his way. :D

Pretty sure all of them are great option for the JL. BUt Vandal Savage can't take on JL alone. Either do a 3 arc movie for JL with Vandal pulling strings or start out big with Darkseid.

Plus i am reading through Frant Morrison run on JL, there are plenty of other villains that can start a JL movie other than Darkseid and Brainiac.
