Making the JUSTICE LEAGUE movie a reality: A memo to DC and WB

Everyone's got their own ideas for how DC can get their movies out of the gutter. Here's mine.

So with Avengers making skyscrapers of cash, Warner Bros. is aiming to duplicate that success with a potential Justice League movie sometime in the near future. At the moment, they’re hoping to shortcut straight to the big team-up and launch the solo films after, sorta kinda the opposite of Marvel’s approach.

But suppose it doesn’t come together in a timely manner? JL might need more time to stew than the current projections would allow if they want it to be awesome. It’s a lot of pressure to put on one movie.
I’m proposing here a way to give Justice League the time and attention it needs while keeping the DC brand alive on film, but without simply copying Marvel’s every move in the process.

Step 1: Wonder Woman
Everyone’s favorite Amazon is way overdue for the origin film treatment, and if DC puts out only one movie between Man of Steel and Justice League, it should be this one, especially since none of Marvel’s most notable females come close in popularity.
But if they want to take a page from Marvel, they should look at WW as DC’s answer to Thor. Her powers come from magic, she fights monsters, she hangs out with deities. If they can make it like the superb animated DTV (but 40 minutes longer), they’re set.

Step 2: The Brave and the Bold
There are a few ways they could reboot Green Lantern, but one of the safer methods is one we don’t often see: a team-up with another hero, specifically the Flash.
All we ever get are the solo movies and the big huge Avengers-style mash-ups, but never the smaller team-ups in between. It’d be nice if DC got there first for a change. A big-screen team-up would be a great way to grant GL a soft reboot, and neither hero needs an origin movie at the moment (especially Flash IMO). Plus, there’s a lot more flexibility with the story and they can have their pick of villains.

Step 3: World’s Finest
While we’re using team-ups to perform soft reboots, how about Batman & Superman?
I contend that both movies (World’s Finest & JL) would make more money if they were made in the proper order.
If it’s a direct follow-up to Man of Steel, and it’s on the road to Justice League, then it has real momentum behind it.

There should be 5 core members Batman Superman, Wonderwoman, Flash (Barry Allen) Green Lantern (Hal Jordan). Martian Manhunter should be used as a plot device for the antagonist and will join the JL at the end of the film. Once superman convinces him he is an alien and the last of his kind to.

Before JLA

MOS
Flash
Worlds Finest
Amazon ......

then after the film have a Green Lantern Corps film including John Stewart, The Batman including an Aquaman film. Next JL film can be 5 years after the first with sequels to the previous films inbetween, But there must be a trinity film at one point maybe after the three have had trilogies

Not the hate that compelled me to repost, so much as the fact that I worked so hard on the video but posted it in such a half-cocked manner. I don't usually do this, but I felt the article needed a full rewrite. Last time, I swear.
