Man of Steel, the first movie of shared universe, released back in 2013 with mixed reviews but strong box-office numbers. And in comic-con, Dawn of Justice was revealed with a lot of hype. In August 2013, we saw Affleck is going to play Batman and in December, Gadot cast as Wonder Woman and as people thought, this might head to Justice League movie and on April 2014, we finally have Cyborg to big-screen. It seems a justice league is going to be released after dawn of justice which is a prequel. So, which other members you think will we have?

Green Lantern


This one is a must. Even though there's a flop movie of him, there should be a green latern. But which one ? There are a lot of rumors this univere could have John Stwart as the main character and some are to bring back Hal. I really don't think at first, Kyle and others come (maybe in far future), so here are 2 ways:

John Stwart: Like Cyborg, cast a new black actor, my favorite is Idris Elba, but i'm not sure since he's playing Heimdall in thor franchise.

However the other way, the return of Hal. This one has two options as well:

A new actor replacement: With 2011 movie flopped big, i feel there's going to be a re-cast, just like Ruffalo replacing Norton as hulk. My choice is Matt Bomer, the actor who plays in the series White Collar tv show.

Bringing back Ryan Reynolds: Well, this one is tricky and people could bash me for this. lol But i think poor Reynolds should have another chance to play Hal. Don't blame him for making the movie flop, blame the director, poor script, over-use CGI, and the writers for this. They're the ones who doom this no matter how many times you say it was Ryan's fault, this actor needed a strong script and a better CGI, and green lantern would really started a DCCU. But what about the other cast ?  Since most people know his origins story and some people saw his back-story in 2011 movie, Scrap the movie completely out of the universe, scrap any characters expect make Mark Strong and Ryan Reynolds respire their role back for a new universe since Strong was the only best part of the movie, and give Ryan another chance.

Green Arrow

If this movie is going to be released in 2017/2018, why not connect this universe to Arrow's universe ? As we know, everyone love Stephen's Arrow and the show itself, there are strong acclaimed villains such as Deathstroke. So, bring him to the universe is a smart move for DC/Warner. But how many seasons should the super max get before making an appearance in JLA movie ? I think 4 seasons are enough, and end it on 2016. However CW can revive Green Arrow after Stephen play in JLA. There are rumors of Nightwing appear in season 3, so i think he should, and this one will fit Snyder's Batman since there's a middle-aged Batman with Dark Knight Returns styled and the story is rumored about Batman and Nightwing breaking up and they have their own way. Then at the end of the series, make Ben Affleck appear as Bruce Wayne in a shocking post-credit scene. Saying that Arrow can join the justice league. And by that time, we'll have most of the Batman family such as Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Barbara Gordon, etc. And Harley Quinn from Arrow's Universe can have a major appearance in Batman stand-alone movies. The series begins before Man of Steel current events until the end of Dawn of Justice.

Flash

If Green Arrow's franchise might link to Snyder's, then Flash needs to appear. Just like GL, he's a must for the team. Bringing Grant Gustin back for JLA movie will be a good move. Let Flash have 3 seasons, and a minor appearance by Gal Gadot as Diana Prince invites him to the movie. The series begins after Man of Steel and ends after the ending of Dawn of Justice.

So, with this, we'll have Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and Cyborg for the first JLA movie. Martian Manhunter, Aquaman and others will be saved for future JLA movies. What do you think ?

They'll use the New 52's ruthless MM if they do include him which is unlikely.

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, GL (John or Hal), and Cyborg.

CW heroes should definitely not be in the DCCU.

The CW doesn't get enough viewers for them to think that connecting TV and Film universes is a good idea.

The Flash needs to be there to lighten up some situations.

I'd like to see Aquaman and his Atlantian army being villains in a future JL movie.

It'll most likely be the New 52 lineup. Batman, Superman, GL (Hal), Flash, WW, Cyborg. Aquaman is the wild card in that lineup, he may or may not appear.

I think the Arrow should be connected to the MoS universe, but I don't think Green Arrow should be in the JL. I just don't see a role for him. He's basically a Batman who uses a bow and is willing to kill if needed. At most, give him a cameo, but I do want to see Superman and others referenced on the Arrow show. I do think Gustin would be fine as Flash in JL. (And the size of the audience for Flash shouldn't matter, unless it just bombs, which I don't think it will.) That actually gives you a 5 person JL: the Trinity, Cyborg, and Flash. I think that's enough for the first movie, but if you have to add a sixth, it should be Green Lantern (either Stewart or Jordan would be fine. And it's not that inconsistent. You could just say that when Zod was attacking, the Earth's GL was busy in another part of his sector and Superman took care of it before he made it to Earth.) You can add more in the next film.

I personally am wishing that the team will be eight instead of seven. I have never been that big of a fan of Cyborg. I didn't really care for him on the Teen Titans and I for sure don't want him instead of Martian Manhunter. So why not make the team Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter & Cyborg.

You might say then the team is too big but look at the X-Men movies. They too have a big cast but it works. Plus I have a feeling the DC Comic movies are going to be three hours long. So that means even more screen time with everyone's favorite characters.
I would also add other superheroes too. I would add Nightwing and Star Sapphire.

You might say having those extra two characters adds again way to many. But again I would say look at the X-Men films particularly Days of Future Past. What I would do is have you get to see them fighting for a scene or two. Just like how it was done in Days of Future past. But instead of the scenes being from the future they are in the present. But in a different part of the world.

If people really want Green Arrow in the movie have him fighting alongside Black Canary. But again in a different part of the world.
If you add those two characters also they need to be new actors. My vote goes for Ethan Hawke for Green Arrow. I would have said Margot Robbie for Black Canary but she is twenty years different to Ethan. So I would pick Emily Rose instead.

As for what Green Lantern to use that's any easy one Hal. The reason why Hal has a lot better stories to use from the comics then John. I know a lot of people love him now because of Justice League the animated series. But a lot of his stories and personality was really Hal's. So who people really like is Hal.

Also for people wondering why Hal would not come to help save Metropolis. That's easy because he was in another part of the galaxy. Let me give you an example say there was a fire. You decide to call them for help it will take some time to get to where you are. Now each GL is given a sector to watch over. In those sectors there is hundreds of hospitable worlds. So the GL of sector 2814 was saving the life's of other creatures at that time. So the GL could have been in another galaxy at that time.

So I believe if I did my math right that would give the Justice League movie with twelve people in it. Just have the main eight get the most screen time. It's worked for other movies. Plus it has also worked in the Justice League animated series and Young Justice. It just showed that there was other heroes in the world for two seconds. Then it went back to the main group. So if they can do that in a twenty minute show why can't they do that in a movie.

I also will say this if they don't use Hal it will most likely be Guy Gardner. The reason Guy got a ring was because Hal was patrolling the other sectors and Earth needed a full time savior. So this could be why Guy will be the GL of the JL. Later on John Stewart became a GL and so Guy was finally able to start patrolling deep space like Hal. So if Hal and Guy already have rings John should have helped Metropolis. Because if I'm not mistaken the GL rings can go as fast as the speed of light.

It's still not confirmed if the CW DC universe will be connected to the DCCU. I won't mind if it does happen that the CW DC will be connected even though i feel like i'm the only person who does not like Arrow. I look forward to seeing The Flash mainly because the trailer just reminded me everything that i love about The Flash.

As for Green Lantern i think it would be appropriate to do a re-imagining. I would actually not bring back Ryan Reynolds and have someone else in the role of Hal Jordan, my choice of actor would be Hal Jordan. Keep Mark Strong as Sinestro because it would be a waste to recast him.

My roster for the Justice League would be:
Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Flash
Green Lantern
Aquaman
Zatanna
Cyborg

If it's confirmed that Emily Blunt will be in Batman vs Superman i think it would be fine if she where to play Zatanna, there for you could add John Constantine from the Constantine tv show into a Justice League Dark film which i'm still hoping the film will happen.

Everyone's roster is too big, keep it small, only essentials: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and then a wildcard (vixen, aquaman, black canary, zatanna, cyborg, etc)

Here's your roster:

-Superman
-Batman
-Wonder Woman
-Cyborg
-Flash

Now for the final one/two, there are some things we have to consider;

Do we really want another Green Lantern with all that CGI overload?
Do we really want to introduce Aquaman in a cameo in BvS/in Justice League when he needs his own movie first?

Now if we put those two aside, I think these are the main contenders we should consider;

-Martian Manhunter
-Hawkgirl
-Big Barda

Link them in to the main villain, Darkseid/Brainiac, and we're golden.

I really feel like Ryan Reynolds would of been a better Flash. I'd like him to go play Deadpool more than anything though.
