UPDATED: Justice League Loses Director NOT

Oh i'm guessing that the upcoming Wonder Woman movie will still star her. And who knows, it would be cool to have the real actors play they're roles in JLA. All they need to do right now is figure out cool tie-ins with each of the characters. If Marvel can do it, so can DC/WB.

-Green Lantern movie... check!
-Wonder Woman movie... check!
-Batman... Nolan and Goyer, look at the big picture here!
-Superman... Singer or Millar, get off your asses!!!
-Flash... HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...ANYBODY?!?!?!?!?!

If you can get Chuck Norris on board with ya Vex, i'll join up too.

Actually, that wasn't the series, it was the actual "superman/batman" animated movie. The part your refereing to was "the best" part of the movie i gotta admit! I really enjoyed the fight sceen in the "batman versus superman" movie script i read on the web the other day. The continuity can't be used in any way but the fight was actually breath taking! Here's the script:

And you can say that again, hot coals and broken glass LOL :P

I never read World sFinest or saw a fight bewteen Batman and Superman, but "realistically" how in the HELL does Batman win that fight? He get ahold of some Kryptonite, because that's the only plausible way for that outcome to happen. No gadget in Bat's utility belt is going to help him against SUPERMAN.

They have to get a Superman movie RIGHT first.
Do a Flash movie already jeez.
Green Lantern with HAL JORDAN and SINESTRO.
Megan Gale as Wonder Woman.
and of course, The Batman is solid.

Actually, the update is a BAD thing. Anybody that agreed to the original script and cast is out of their freakin' MINDS and should be imprisonned for life in an "Arkham" type asylum!!!

Ummmm ok. Justice League would be an AWESOME BADASS MOVIE, if done properly, for about 1 billion dollars. There's absolutely NO WAY you can do Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, The Flash, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman and the COUNTLESS other characters in a justice league movie for anything less than 1 billion dollars. Superman Returns blew threw what? 250 million and it was TOTAL SHYTE!!! That's just for 1 superhero. Now add 6 or 7 more superheros and WOW, you've already got over 1 billion in production costs. Not to mention the villain(s) plus the sets, the CGI, the countless gadgets, extras, stunts etc etc. It is just not even remotely feasible to do a live action JL movie ANYTIME soon, ESPECIALLY, without doing a single good Superman movie, a Flash movie, GL movie, etc etc etc. The logistics are just not there. If they attempt this now, it doesn't matter WHAT they put into it, it is going to die, a horrible, painful, utterly pathetic death, that something of such magnitude should NEVER have to suffer.

Now, after my emotionally charged rant I have to reply to Shaman and saaaaay...

If that were made into a movie and done right now, I would see it at LEAST 3 times in a row. At least. No jokes, all bullshyte aside. It is one of the BEST things I have read in a LONG time concerning Superman and Batman together. Even in script form it's an excellent read. Even with all the malformations of the pages and some text missing for whatever reason, it still blows most scripts or script attemps out of the water. Thank you for that link, I have thoroughly enjoyed the last 4.5 hours (while working) reading this thing. It was awesome.

But for the reccord, i still feel that the magic team number is 5 and at least for the first JLA movie the team should be:

Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Green Lantern (John Stuart)
Flash

IMHO :)

OK, if JLA isn't a good idea (which truly, it is), how do you feel about Avengers? What about the X-Men? Justice League has the BEST cast of characters in DC and somehow, that isn't a good idea? The cavalcade of characters is revolving and endless, wow, just like the Avengers...

I think that a lot of comic book characters have absolutely unbelievable back stories that only work by themselves. In Kingdom Come and Marvel Civil War, it gets a little rediculous with the surplus of super humans. I think Marvel has the better idea by making movies of all the characters beforehand. That way the audience already knows the origins of all the characters. If JLA just throws all of the origins out there in one movie, it can become a little overwhelming.

Good point Darrell, I think rushing ANY project (especially on the magnitude of JLA) would make for a slew of just badly handled, misappropriated films that aren't going to do ANY justice to the characters involved. I actually find DC's heros to be more along the lines of reality than Marvel. OK, there's aliens and what not, but there ARE real aliens out there ( I dare you to prove me wrong), both have their fancifulness to them, but I think Marvel takes it much farther than DC. Although I prefer Marvel outright OVER DC, and maybe it is because their more fantasitc (IMO)

The thing about The Batman movies, is it's moving more towards super powers and EXTREME improbability with the advent of Two-Face and the psychotic Joker. Neither of them ARE super powered in anyway shape or form, but to be burnt up and horribly scarred, only to establish a dulaity that is OBVIOUS while meandering around in 2 seperate outfits as one, is opening the door for more fantastic characters.

As for rushing things, it could be done right if they pulled everybody together in a huge "seminar-type" meating with scripters producers and directors. They could make the Wonder Woman, GL, Flash and World's Finest movies to remotely come out in the same year which could be 2010 with the JLA movie schedualled for late 2011 early 2012. It can be done well if they all have each their own production team and work toghether at the same time on this.

I think a justice league movie could be good and I believe it's a good idea as long as the major characters are cemented first in indiviudual movies. But I'll tell you right now why it won't happen. The 'SUITS'.. The suits have a machiavellian type ability to take a good idea and take a huge crap on it and try to pawn it off as the original concept. TDK works because it's based in reality there wasn't much that happend that couldn't happen in real life. The other characters are much more tricky because now we are talking super science, magic or aliens. How do you bridge the gap? Marvel's world works as Shaman says because the character's abilites and fanfare is so varied.. thus no one is propelled to the center of there world in the comics. They need each other.. Nolan has achieved an unprecedented success with TDK and creating a world where Batman can exist in solitude completely self contained and it works.. He's a billionaire but you didn't see him catching the bat jumbo jet to Japan he had to call in a favor. There for not devolving into the 60's batman where every contraption had a freakin batman symbol on it. Where did he keep all that crap anyway??

When you start talking true fantasy charcters like Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Latern it's a bit more difficult to make it work because the challenges have to be other worldly or else they don't make sense. Hence why Kryptonite keeps rearing it's ugly head.. I don't think it's impossible but the challenges have to be large and yet believeable for the character given there particular powers and limitations. How do they all fit together is more the question.. Does Wonder Woman live in Themyscara or does she have an apartment in SOHO two floors down from Superman? Do they all live on a space station and if so who keeps there secret identities and who doesn't? What I'm driving at here is the movie still has to have an underlying theme which usually means the story moves from one persons perspective. I think The New Frontier was o.k. but it was told from Green lantern's viewpoit it was his story and Superman getting knocked out and getting saved by Aquaman was lame.. why not have a guy like Nemisis Enforcer just be almost a match for him.. thus keeping him out of the fray.. just and idea I know he's a Marvel guy but you know where I'm going..

I think a good idea for the movie would be two of them are already working together filling in where the other falls short and a challenge arises they can't handle so they seek out assistance and they have to convice the others to join up. Kind of a reclutant pact to save the earth or whatever.. It has to be something huge to necessitate all of them working together or else Supeman can handle it. He can move near the speed of light.. I say alien envasion.. Darkseide or something like that.. like in Justice League Unlimited.. when the Thanagarian's arrive..

the thing is, nolan has already said he will NEVER be involved, nor will HIS batman..with a crossover movie. as talented as he is hes also an arrogant bastard! basically he believes his batman exists in a brand new universe, outside the current dc universe..well im sorry christopher, weather u like it or not batman is part of the dc universe. i appreciate what he did with the franchise and i loved his movies but there you have it. if we ever see a justice league movie its going to be with either a new actor..or without batman altogether.
shaman i agree with your choices for the characters. best to keep it simple starting off..i reckon it should be just like the original jl cartoon..maybe without hawkgirl!
