Official Justice League Movie
 

It's official people.

Along with this, Zack Snyder will be directing.

Finally! I knew this was coming.

By the time this movie comes out it'll be like what...2020? Jesus I don't even want to think that far from now.

Don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, it'll be cool to see this finally happening.

On the other hand, seems a bit early for a JL movie. With Marvel, it took a few movies before Avengers happen, during that time introducing and building up the characters. But I guess time will tell.

Well this is no surprise, but I wish they weren't tainting the new Superman movie with all these heroes just to set up the movie. I'm guessing we'll see another "DCCU" movie before JL and after Superman vs Batman though.

I wonder about a few things though, Flash is now a TV show, will he be in the movie or will he be a different version? That would be confusing and suck since they're highly praised so far. What about Green Lantern? I didn't think the movie was too bad but it's too early to reboot GL. The can't just ignore Flash and GL because one has a tv show and the other had a movie that failed.

They could have a different GL(Kyle/Jon/Guy) without rebooting the franchise and just say Hal Jordan is elsewhere keeping the first movie ambiguously in continuity and without having to have a reboot so quickly. It'd be cool if they incorporate Flash from the TV show though, especially since the MCU also has in continuity TV shows.


That's not entirely true, the ending of Iron Man the first film that Marvel made set up the Avengers movie and after the first Iron Man became a hit they announced Avengers (originally for 2011) along with the other "origin" movies. Sure it had more "movies" but outside of iron Man the other movies came out what a year before Avengers? That's hardly what I call a good set up, they all felt rushed and advertisement for the big movie. DC is doing something similar. We'll probably have atleast one Wonder Woman/Cyborg or Batman movie in between, the JL movie won't come out until 2020.

Edit: and i was right they also announced some DC movies in development, so they're rushing JL as much as Marvel did, in fact they're pretty much copying every blueprint and move Marvel did 6 years ago.

Incredible Hulk came out a month or two after Iron Man, champ. They planned well ahead.

They tested the waters with those two movies, only after the first Iron Man became a hit did Marvel Studios go into any real planning mode. In fact the secret ending of iron man was intended only as a gag, and the secret ending of incredible hulk was filmed only after the first Iron Man became a hit. That's not even the point, by "rushed" I mean they just wanted origin movies our as quickly as possible for their big "Avengers" movie and don't forget how many people complained that IM2 was only a big commercial for Avengers. A "nicer" Avengers set up would be after each movie had at least one sequel.

Very excited to hear this. I have faith DC can pull this off. Having JL before solo films can help set up city characters, so we origin films may not be needed before branching off into solo films.

Making plans after waters have been tested is still planning ahead. But sure, 4 years isn't enough time to plan stuff, I guess. Avengers was such a failure. You would definitely have known better.

Sure, but Thor and Caps failed to be the hits that Iron Man was. You're grasping at straws with my use of the word "plan" and I don't even know what you're trying to prove. My point is that this Justice League movie is just as "rushed/planned" as the Avengers movie was.

I'm not trying to prove anything, I was just correcting you when you said "but outside of iron Man the other movies came out what a year before Avengers?" and you took it from there.

Iron Man and Incredible Hulk were testing the waters in 2008. There was obviously a plan in place by Cap and Thor in 2011, for Avengers in 2012. That's not rushing.

Snyder, himself, says the Batman nods in Man of Steel weren't his idea, but a CG animator's. There was obviously no plan for Superman/Batman in place, by the time Man of Steel was released. There's no solid evidence, in the film, that they were leading to this, like Marvel's cube, Coulson, Fury. They announced the movie, only being able to name a story or two that generally inspired it. They were filming last year, and now they're still casting, and the movie has been pushed back to 2016. THIS movie is the thrown together mess.

I'm convinced we were planning a regular old Man of Steel 2, until they saw Man of Steel's mediocre box office performance, and this is a mad scramble to salvage the franchise.

Batman and Superman both have new movies, but what about Wonderwoman?
She is one of the main characters of the justice league and didn`t made it so far.
Hope they will think about this matter. :ohwell:

She will be in Batman/Superman..but you probably knew that.

I'm a Superman fan, but I don't hate Batman...so don't misread what I am saying here.
There seems to be too much put into this one sequel. It needs to be a simple Man of Steel 2.

I feel that adding all these characters gives the impression DC is rushed (and they are). Follow the Marvel formula: use individual movies for the characters, and put plot elements in them to connect. Once that is done, release your Justice League movie.

I hope this works out.

Hooray!

I'm glad that DC are doing this shared universe in a different way to how Marvel are doing it.

Ppfft, given the quality of movies and tv Marvel are putting out for their individual characters lately (Iron Man III, Thor II, Agents of SHIELD), I don't mind DC cutting to the chase. The Phase II build, outside of surprise smash Winter Soldier, has been rotten so far

well
 

Can't be that much of a bigger let down than the avengers film so I'm all for it. But when it comes to superhero films DC really drops the ball most of the time.

Okay then. Let's have Batman, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, Superman, and whoever else all in the Man of Steel Movie. Way too rushed.

My friend and I talked about this last night and we both agreed with the idea. Allow the characters to be introduced into Justice league and then have them branch out into their perspective franchises.

Damn you are just trying to bait someone into a reaction :lol:

Big question is: Will to be better then the first live-action Justice League movie.

I doubt they're doing it in the first JL movie, but I hope Darkseid eventually gets a nice live action treatment. I can't believe they made him a FF movie-like Galactus thing in Smallville, then offed him with one stupid punch from Clark.

Kanon mentioned WW. I'd like to see Ares before all is said and done. It'd be fun to see Darkseid eventually, but maybe not in the first film. Hope they build up to him over time. I don't know though, I'm afraid they'll show him shaking hands with someone at the end of a film and the plans for sequels will get scrapped. So does anyone know who they'd like to see as a villain in the JL movie? I'd like an Injustice Gang for the first one. Or Secret Society, or whatever they're calling themselves this week. A team of heroes is great to see, but a supervillain team up could rock too.

Man, you said it..they really didn't do the character justice at all.

Oh good, I was hoping I wouldn't ruffle any feathers or anything. I liked Smallville, especially season 8 with Doomsday. Darkseid was just a big letdown for me personally, however. Seems like most of the big bads in Marvel and DC can't really get a break barring Thanos. Man I can't wait to see him take center stage, as well as Apocalypse and whichever big bads DC decides to use in their film franchise.

??????????????????????????????

There was a two part special in 79 and a failed pilot back in 97. Both worth a watch.

Turns out WB has more then the Justice League in plan at the moment, according to the washington post WB currently has 9 more DC properties in development.

http://www.newsarama.com/20980-repor...rner-bros.html

Some on the plate are:
The Metal Men
Fables
100 Bullets
Sandman
Shazam

These are a few of the properties they are developing that were named as well alongside the announcement with the Justice League movie. I'm sure this could easily change though.

no
 

I'm not at all. Look at DC movies compared to marvel,. they are terrible and with all the hype the avengers was a total let down. when the action finally happened the movie was over. DC films, Man of steel sucked, every superman movie besides the original 4 sucked. Green lantern sucked, the dark night rises sucked, ect. They had some good ones but compared to marvel they are bottom of the barrel.

I liked Man of Steel and Dark knight Rises...

Let me get this straight... You're saying Marvel movies are better than DC movies, but The Avengers was a letdown? You're saying there wasn't enough action in The Avengers, but you like Superman: The Movie? The Dark Knight Rises sucks? You've seen Superman IV, and you don't think it sucks?

Please, indulge us. What are your favorite comic book movies?

Superman IV has a woeful and blown budget and several incomprehensible moments, but Gene Hackman steals the show and it had a topical plot at the time, I do find myself rewatching bits of it now and then.

I liked the Green Lantern movie and Avengers was one to show the beginning of their group work. You can`t tell a whole story in just one movie, there will be sure another one with a lot more action. :D

Thought about a few more possible threats for the JL movie. I think Brainiac would be a good one. He's not too big of a baddy for the JL to go up against in the first movie. Or I suppose they could use those white Martians.

DC doesn't make as many movies as Marvel but I don't think their quality is as bad. Let's begin with post-2000 movies. The Nolan Batman trilogy is excellent, sure there are some decisions I strongly disagree with in Rises but it's still a far better movie than most Marvel films. Catwoman was a dud but Elektra was far worse, sure Elektra is not a Marvel Studios movie but at that time Marvel Studios wasn't making movies. Superman Returns wasn't that bad it just wasn't the movie we needed Superman to be in. Green Lantern is far from bad, it's just average and did nothing new, but it's on par with most Marvel movies. Man of Steel has people that don't like it but personally I loved it and was happy with the direction. In fact I'm mad that the sequels has all this clutter of other superheroes since I want a Superman movie not a crossover movie. So I wouldn't say that DC is doing that bad moviewise, they're just not doing much at all which is a shame.

I like DC heroes far more than Marvel and while I would've never imagined a JL movie ever happening now that it is I'm not as excited as I could've been if it didn't feel so "me too", pay attention to us again. Still excited though.


Well counting we don't have Martian Manhunter we won't get the white Martians, which is probably good, he's really out there and too similar to Superman for people to appreciate him as much as I like him. An alien invasion would be similar to Avengers as well, then again being similar to Marvel hasn't stopped DC.

Starts shooting on 4/11. Snyder is still on board to direct despite the rumors.

Our first look at the Flash costume in the corner. Looks like a new Aquaman costume next to it. Add some color to that generic black costume next to that one and you could have GL or Nightwing.

Would definitely be nice to see Nightwing make his movie debut.

They look like crackheads. Stay Classy Snyder.

I just re-watched New Frontier and what a great movie it is and answers the question of "too many characters". We basically get an introduction to Batman, flash, Wonder Woman and Superman and not only do we get an origin for Martian Manhunter but also Green Lantern without mentioning Green Arrow, Aquaman among others also make guest appearances.

It also made me realize how easily and relatable Martian Manhunter can be, sadly he won't be in the movie and Green Lantern is also getting the boot..

JK Simmons to play Commissioner Gordon in Justice League

Y'know...I can totally see that working. I can dig it.

There's some kind of joking reference to be made about him having such a prominent role in a series of Marvel based films and then jumping over to DC, but I can't seem to put together the words for it.
