More from Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder: Why it's taken WB/DC a long time to get Justice League Going

I want Justice League but not for 2015, you can leave this year for man of steel sequel, 2016 a worlds finest movie, 2017 wonder woman and flash movies and 2018 the justice league.

lol poor Hal, way in the background. I still don't know why Christian 'Batman' and Ryan 'Green Lantern' can't exist in a JL movieverse

If they're thinking 2015. Then they should do a Wonder Woman film with an Aquaman cameo, a rebooted Green Lantern with a Flash cameo all in 2014 so we can have a Justice League movie in 2015 which I think is pretty impossible.

As much as i like the idea of a World's Finest movie, i think it is too soon to introduce a new Batman. I say get to work on Flash and Wonder Woman origin movies along with the MOS sequel, for a planned release summer 2015 for Wonder Woman, Winter 2015 for the MOS sequel, and summer 2016 for the Flash. Work on the Justice League movie for a summer 2017 release. Summer 2018 kicks off Phase 2 of the JLU with the new Batman

if Marvel studios can have 3 movies filming at the same time, while getting work going on as many as 5 other projects, there is no reason why WB can't get at least 2 movies a year out of the DC lineup.

@Banner

as much as i would like to agree with you, the JL has bigger characters to work with in comparison with the Avengers. A Batman solo film is pretty much guaranteed 250 million in North America, so just imagine what Batman, Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Aquaman combined can do.

the one thing Marvel has going for it over WB and the DC JL universe is that they built up to get to the Avengers over several movies and years. Teasers and planning started the excitement to build for the eventual planned team up, which finally culminated in The Avengers. a rushed JL movie will still do really well and come close to Avengers level box office, but a methodical and carefully put together JL movie that follows a pattern similar to the way the Avengers was put together over several movies will crush the box office take of the Avengers.

@banner I beg to disagree, and even if a Justice League movie can't beat the Avengers' box office haul, it would all come down to great filmmaking for JL against a good popcorn flick like the Avengers.

@Sithlord

are you seriously going to try and call WB comic movies great film making?

I really liked MOS, but it was pretty much a better acted Michael bay movie. odd and at times shitty dialogue, lots of action, that while awesome still bordered on the over the top. don't get me started on Green Lantern or TDKR.

just because it takes them forever to get a movie made, doesn't equate to it being a great piece of film making.

The Avengers or popcorn movie as you call it is a better film than every WB/DC movie not called The Dark Knight and is more fun than the entire WB/DC lineup.

@lordlegolas when I said great film making I was referring to The Dark Knight trilogy and yes that means TDKR too, if it wasn't a good movie then it would not be included in the American Film Institute's best movie list.

JL probably won't beat the Avengers 2 first time because the Avengers has a cult following and basically everyone enjoyed it. Plus we all want to see where Phase 2 leads to. Maybe if JL is good enough it could go head to head with A3 with a sequel.

@l0rdleg0las you said... "are you seriously going to try and call WB comic movies great film making?"

dude I'm more of a Marvel fan but I don't believe WB hasn't released a movie worth applauding. Batman Begins is an example of great film making story-wise. Maybe MOS didn't hit a chord with your taste but I believe it's only an introduction to a more magical sequel.

Batman would be the one of the best characters to be introduced in JL along with Martian Manhunter. Flash, WW and GL should have their own movies for sure, and while I'd LOVE to see Aquaman in his own movie, somehow I doubt they'd go for it but the new52 at least did this right.

Why would a man be fighting someone like Darkseid anyway? I don't care how much training he has, he shouldn't be fighting in hand to hand combat with a God.

The Justice League series showed how ridiculous it would look for Batman to fight someone like Darkseid. He'd smack him and Batman would fly across the room going like 60 and smash through a wall with debris falling down on him.

Oh but he's fine. He'd get up unaffected. I get that was a cartoon, but I get a little tired when people revert to the Justice League series for how they should do their movies when the cartoon was [frick]ing over the top. He's a man, if it was a movie it has to be grounded in real life at least a little bit. Batman would be a red puddle on the ground if he went through that.

I think its a common misconception that Bales Batman was an idiot. He was able to take out an entire, heavily trained Swat team before they realized he was there, he took down ninjas who trained longer than he did, he took down several gang bosses and left a lasting impression he was unbeatable to Gotham. He was smart enough to completely fix the autopilot in an experimental vehicle like the Bat, and thought ahead to orchestrate the entire ending of TDKR before he "died" in the explosion.

Just because its probably the most successful thing the Justice League has doesn't mean the cartoon should be copied directly. I hope to god they do something new with these movies.

I think DC needs their own studio.

I think at least 2 movies need to be made with other JLers BEFORE they make a whole movie about them all. I think Flash would be the easiest then wonder woman.Avengers had years of other movies to ride off of before they "assembled"
