Batman and Superman Too Expensive For Justice League Movie?

Batman and Superman Too Expensive For Justice League Movie?

Here is a news report backing up Pietro Filipponi previous article that yes, D.C. is making the long awaited Justice league Movie, and no, Superman and Batman are not on the roster. Why would D.C. comics even bother making a J.L. movie , without The Man Of Steel and The Dark Knight. Could there be an Avengers Movie without Ironman and Thor? I shutter to think that D.C. would be capable of making such a huge Mistake.







This is what I want to see on the BIG SCREEN!!!




Come on D.C. you can not be serious....

Well If they stick to JUSTICE LEAGUE: YEAR ONE, I would be all for it, tho no GREEN ARROW or BLACK CANARY means they wont be going that way if its true, but even if they was doing a proper YEAR ONE, we'd still have to have at least a cameo of BATS & SUPES!

Still I'd rather them be in it, as its not JLA without them!

Hell them two big names would draw twice as much BOX OFFICE!!!

Without them its as risky as JONAH HEX!

Gaston @ its probably BS but you never know... if WB had any sense they would wait till after a FLASH, WONDER WOMAN and maybe even a AQUAMAN movie comes out!

@ Leee777 - I don't think we should take anything we hear for certain. I doubt it's money issues, that's the least. I think it's just a long term goal they have and they're laying the foundation for the other roles.

Gaston @ Your probably right, can't wait to see what happens after GL!

blueorangeny @ Very true and spot on, that makes the most sense for WB!

superhero9 @ Lets hope so dude, I really think JLA is a bigger movie than even the AVENGERS, it has to be done right, thank the lord (lol) we never got that MORAL movie though!

Lucaxmen @ Exactly!

Nice boobs!
It's still early to say, but I'm 100% sure it is not about budget issues. It is so easy for WB to still include Supes and Bats without Nolan's versions. Then again, the first JLA team did not have Supes and Bats till later on. The original members are Flash,GL,MM,Aquaman,and WW. It would be fine by me if Bats and Supes made cameos in the end or second half of the film to indicate their involvement in the team for later sequels.

no bat and supes is good because lets be serious batman and superman and way too popular for the other members to get any development or screen time

What the God Damn point then... can't have JLA without The Bat and Supes! If they go ahead and make it, I wouldn't even consider it to be a JLA movie. Completely daft!

@comics56 I prefer this trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZntKMJFqLRA

Much of the same footage, but the music makes it awesome!

Dude RELAX! If JLA will go on without Supes and Bats, I don't think it will fail. Ppl will say they won't see it, but in truth they will just out of curiosity. Supes and Bats are already well established througout the comic book film world. I think it will be ok to see the other JLA members have their chance to be recognized. "45 years ago" well that is the true origin of the team isn't it?:/ I love Supes and Bats but come on man like who doesn't know them. I would rather see those two in a Batman/Superman film. Then they will join the JLA to help them with a larger threat like Darkseid. Calm down bud I didn't mean to offend you I guess...

blueorangeny - 8/24/2010, 6:56 PM
If this article is true, it just shows DC/WB is finally being pro-active. Also I agree with a few of you who say JLA without Supes or Bats wouldn’t fail. It can be the original heads with Supes and Bats as cameos. Or even JLA: Year One for Dec 2014 release where they’ll be cameos and a World Greatest in July of 2014 with cameos of original JLA members.

@ Leee777 – If this is true it can also be they don’t want any possible additional pressure or shadow over Nolan’s 2012 2 flicks.

@ THULK – U’re on crack. I’ll bet anything, even my future unborn child lol that once a JLA comes out it blow away Avengers. If you thought the hype of Avengers was anything JLA will blow it out of the water. Shit even a World’s Greatest: Bats & Supes flick will blow Avengers out of the water.

@ Denn1s – Again if this is true it’s probably being viewed and giving possible hints that Nolan can possibly and MIGHT be interested in helming a JLA. Who knows but if Nolan is convinced to helm it, it will cost WB/DC to pay Nolan some major loot.

@blueorangeny

I think you might be on crack... no way will Nolan do a JLA movie, it's just not his style. Yes he done Batman and yes he has say in the Supes reboot but we have to remember that HE'S NOT DIRECTING IT! He has been brought on as a"creative consultant". After The Dark Knight sequel I think it's safe to say that Nolan's comic book days are over.

Also, who are you to say that a JLA movie will blow the Avengers out of the water? The f*cking thing hasn't even been made yet!

When Warner Bros. does release an official statement, then I will believe it. However, Green Lantern, the Flash, and Wonder Woman could carry the movie without Supes and Bats.

@Crandurn and blueorangeny
I agree with both of ya. But blueorange, I don't think it is sound to say that JLA will beat Avengers. To me, I think both will be equal. A superhero team type film is extremely gutsy to pull off. I am interested in the premise of where Avengers is headed, could be any storyline such as LOKI/HULK. JLA can go any direction, Darkseid or another threat. DC and Marvel have invested so much plot devices in their comics that it is tough to say where the movie-verse will be influenced from. As Cranburn said, I do not think Nolan will be interested in taking part in JLA since it is not his style. Then again he respects Michael Bay, the guy who loves blowing shit up. Favreau did have interest in participating in the Avengers film, which is not much of his style as well. I think later down the line, Nolan may consider being an active consultant in JLA.

@wolverinesfury
I know what you mean. I admit as an avid DC fan, obviously the JLA conjures up images of Superman,Batman, and WonderWoman. I totally agree with your statement on Avengers. If that's becomes a huge success, then WB should not have any problems with the inclusion of Bats and Supes. Supes and Bats do premiere on every cover of cartoon JL DVDs and comics. I do understand that comicbookmovie is the only site that has covered this news so far, but it is Poni who posted it. He has been solid on his scoops so far and he does have a close partnership with the WB studio. I am still not really bothered by their absence in the film because, to be honest, I've seen many Batman and Superman incarnations that I want to see the other League members on the screen as much as Bats and Supes have. I absolutely want to see the two in a JLA film but I wouldn't be bothered if they appear in a sequel. I just want to see more DC characters come to fruition in hollywood since I practically know Superman and Batman as the staple of DC comics with their many animated and live action films. But as you said WB should include them since the majority of the public sees the two as the leaders of the team and if Avengers do well.

@ Cranburn – Come on, it’ too late for me to get buck wild on you. But [frick] it, you tell me why you took my response as confirmation, set in stone or me saying it will happen. When I referred to Nolan doing JLA I immediately said “Again if this is true” which I was going by what the broad was saying in the video. Then I continued with words like “probably” and “might”, if again what the chic in the video was saying is indeed true. So you the one who’s on crack, you took my words out of context you smuck. Btw no shit he’s been brought in as a “creative consultant”. At the end, you can never say never, shit can always change one day to the next, you, me, the guy next or any one else here truly doesn’t know what’s going on over there in DC. Neither movie till this date hasn’t been, again no shit. I was referring to when it finally is made at the end of the day when we all look back JLA will show it. Listen I know at the end of the day you will be backing up your fav which seems to be MARVEL. But head on if u 2 solid films present themselves JLA will come up on top, shit even a Worlds Finest film will destroy an Avengers when compare and done correctly on both ends.

@ ChrisDviking – The reason why I say a JLA when it’s finally completed and release will blow Avengers out of the water is because 2 major players, Bats and Supes. I’ll bet that if you’ll do a poll, the buzz of those 2 will pull anyone in. It doesn’t matter if you’re a MARVEL fan or 5 year old kid. Them 2 characters are more recognizable. Anyone either DC fan or not will want to see them on the same screen and like any movie in the CBM if done right, JLA will blow Avenger because of that main reason. If you get a solid Avengers flick and pair it with a solid JLA flick, put your allegiances aside, JLA will outduel Avengers. If you get where I’m getting at

I'd rather a "World's Finest" movie with ONLY Batman and Superman rather than a Justice League movie with all the JLAers minus Superman and Batman.

DC better not do something THAT stupid. Actually... I'm willing to wager that IF this is true news, that they'll end up somehow including Batman and leaving Superman in the dust since that's what DC's been doing lately with the character.

Well yes and no. Superman and Batman will undoubtedly outduel an entire Avengers team because of their popularity and history in comics. However, there is one major problem today, and that has something to do with Supes. As we all should know by now, if anyone has been keeping tabs on the current court case between the GREEDY Joel Siegel children and DC, Supes is not doing to well. They want more money on the rights toward Superman since they inherit their father's name, which is a damn shame to their father. They already make good profit from merchandising, comics, and films related to Supes. If DC can come up with a great Superman film before 2013 and include him in a JLA film then all is good for DC, but if DC does not come up with something by then, well they can't do a Superman film since by that time, the Siegels will have already removed the whole origin and Clark persona from Superman, while DC keeps the superpowers and villains. That will make it impossible for Supes to be in JLA unless DC decides to change Supes entire character. As for Batman,well the whole Nolan vision of him will have to be changed. I think the court case is what is hurting DC immensely. If Marvel buys Superman then I will [frick]ing hate Marvel forever, but I know Marvel won't do that since they respect DC.

Cranburn - 8/25/2010, 5:34 AM
@blueorange...
So let me get this straight. You're claiming that because Batman and Superman are more popular than any other character in the Marvel Universe, the film will ultimately be better than anything that will ever come out of Marvel Studios? No offence my man, but that's a ridiculous statement to make.

I don't prefer Marvel anymore than I prefer DC... yes my favorite comic is X-Men but I'm a fan of DC as much as the next guy and I have no problem in completely disagreeing with you 100%.

At least give both movies a chance before you make a statement like that.

Morning gents


@ ChrisDviking - That will never happen, DC will pull all the stops at the end. Also as it's being rumored around a film is set for Dec 12. 2012 so will be avoided if they get it out by then. If not DC will pay.

@ Cranburn - Again you're reading incorrectly. It's not just the popularity I'm basing on. The popularity will automatically make the flick beat out the Avengers in the box office because everyone from ages of 3 to 99. People who don't know shit about comics will go see it. Also I didn't say just their presence will ultimately make it better then anything Marvel puts out. What I am saying is IF you get a epic Avengers flick and you get a epic JLA or even a World's Finest, I'm telling you that odds are the story and film will be better just because it's Supes and Bats seeing the 2 iconic characters on the big screen working together, fighting together and saving the world together. So it isn't a ridiculous statement, it's something that has possible weight. It's funny how RDJ said during Comic Con that he thought Inception was the biggest film then comically corrected and said, oh wait we're doing something bigger (anyway something along the lines). He doesn't want to imagine the fan fair or buzz comic con sd will have a JLA or WF's will be introduce, lol. At the end of day we have to wait for the movies to come out to finally determine but the chances for a JLA or WF movie being better than an Avengers isn't far fetch, it can be determine as a certainty

Now that I'm fine with. Green Arrow and Captain Marvel are great replacements. They need their solo films first though.

It wouldn't be too expensive if they didn't use Brandon Routh and Christian Bale. The Justice League movie should be kept separate from that continuity. They have already created the majority of the Justice League on Smallville. So use those core guys as the Justice League bring back Ian Somerhalder as Batman if you want to give him a Robin bring in Steven R McQueen. Eliza Dushku would make a good modern day Wonder Woman and find someone to play Green Lantern. Then you have good young cast to play the Justice League.
