I love the JSA but I have no idea how they'd actually make it work as a movie, given the general way WB operates. I kinda feel like the entire concept only works best as a WWII period piece since that's what it was created as in the first place, but for one thing, WB already did Wonder Woman (WWI), and for another they specifically avoided the WWII setting because the Captain America movie already did it, which was a dumb decision but apparently those things matter.

I don't know. I really like the characters and everything but a modern-day JSA always feels just a little bit redundant, and I'm not sure they'd want to "risk" making it a period piece. I'd have to know more about their general plans before I got emotionally invested.

Ahhhhh, who am I kidding? It's WB, they'll never get around to making this.

Rock's already gonna be 87 years old by the time Black Adam comes out, and 104 by the time he fights Captain Marvel (that's his f*cking name, don't @ me).
