WB Starts Rolling Out JUSTICE LEAGUE Merchandise; Are They Paving The Way For The Movie?

Well, this might be the case, especially if the rumoured Rocksteady JL game is really in the making.

I personally think they don't need to do the 'Marvel' method, Man of Steel could be the only lead in, all they'd need to do is hint at a much bigger universe. Heck, Krypton can mention Oa, or the GL of their sector will not return in time to aid evacuation of the planet or can be even more subtle.

Anyways just use Man of Steel to establish tone and stick with it, if it works.

Im sick of this motherfricking jla movie Hopes on this motherfricking Site

As much as I like the New 52's JL series, Martian Manhunter over Cyborg Any day of the week.

That said, this sounds awesome and looks like WB has finally got their act together for the JL film. If anything, all they need to do is just adapt Bruce Timm's JL episode "secret origin" or whatever it's called and tweak and add somethings to it to make it movie worthy!

Maybe DC could take a page out of Marvel's book and at least make the DCnU Superman suit similar do MoS.

I noticed this the other day, very happy about it. Hopefully it'll be aquaman an MM in the movie!

NOOOOO CYBORG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MARTIAN. MANHUNTER!!!!!!!!!

No?

Generally MM > Cyborg for me because I grew up on the JL cartoons.

But the thing is I think MM can carry his own movie really well actually. Our fascination with the red planet and sending our rovers (including most recently curiosity) provides for a natural "gateway" to introducing a rich mythos of Mars once having been inhabited by a great civilization millions (or billions) of years ago.

If they take that route with the story, and show J'onn as the last Martian kept in suspended animation for all these eons and get awakened by human explorers it could be a really solid solo outing. And then use him in Justice League 2.

Cyborg doesn't have that ability to carry a movie to me. I really view him as a pretty goofy character generally, even the name Cyborg sounds corny and very 80s. I understand the need/desire for diversity of the cast (although MM would probably be played by a black actor too), but I think the best way to go about a lineup in the first movie would to keep it small:

Superman
Batman
WW
Green Lantern (John Stewart)
Flash

Then have a bunch of those solo outings, including MM mentioned before, a Hawkgirl/Hawkman combo Thanagarian/Ancient Alien storyline, maybe a Green Arrow solo, a Steel solo would be badass imho.
