lordofthedrum Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I heard this morning that they were planning on making a movie with all of the Justice League heroes. Is this true, or just talk. If they did, it would be amazing. Hopefully if they do it, they leave out the Wonder Twins (power activate, form of the perfect RUSH album...)

rushgoober Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I dunno. It could be great, it could be really cheesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Aubrey Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Here's some info from Variety: QUOTE WB Eyeing Justice League Movie February 23, 2007 Warner Bros. Pictures is looking to make a feature based on super team the Justice League of America, hiring writing duo Kiernan and Michele Mulroney to write the script. It's the first major action the studio has taken on the project. The feature film is bound to include some combination of DC's most iconic superheroes, although the studio wouldn't confirm which ones they might be. It's unlikely that the studio and DC Comics, a division of Warner, would opt to feature second-tier characters. Since its inception in 1960, JLA has featured almost every major hero in the DC Comics universe, although the core team has largely remained the same: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter. The heroes typically band together to fight alien menaces or groups of supervillains. "The Justice League of America has been a perennial favorite for generations of fans, and we believe their appeal to film audiences will be as strong and diverse as the characters themselves," Warner president of production Jeff Robinov said in announcing the hiring of the Mulroneys. The trade says that in taking on the ambitious project, Warner faces several conundrums. Now that the Batman and Superman film franchises have been revived, does the studio go after Christian Bale (Batman Begins) and Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) to star in a Justice League pic? The studio is also trying hard to bring Wonder Woman to the big screen. To a large degree, casting will depend upon the story arc for the JLA feature and at what point in the superheroes' lives the plot takes place.

JohnnyBlaze Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I don't think this one will be made. For one, there are too many big characters that'd be beter off in their own feature (and they are...i.e. Supes & Bats). Although I have read that they're making The Flash & Wonder Woman. But then again those 2 flicks have run in to some problems already. There was a Justice League made-for-tv movie in the 70's that I vaguely remember. I'm guessing that there's a copy of it floating around ebay or somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem a bit ambitious to have that many superhero characters in one movie, although they pulled it off in X-Men, so I guess it can be done. I saw a preview somewhere recently for The Fantastic Four vs. The Silver Surfer. Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XMEN from the very beginning were a team. They operate as such. With the JL it's just not true. They're heavy hitters that unite only for major threats. They need individual movies. With most/all of the XMEN, individual movies aren't really necessary. As for the FF vs. Surfer...it isn't really a versus movie I think/hope. The Surfer was born from the FF comic pages so it's appropriate that he be in their flick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromancer Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 There is a spinoff of Smallville planned that involves that version of the JLA. I can't see a movie of the CORE members being made. Too many legalities of using Supes, Bats and Wonder Woman. But the original JLA was Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Flash and Black Canary and Aquaman I believe. So maybe that version would be put together in a film? I'd love to see it either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just couldn't see Supes and Bats being in the same movie AND giving decent onscreen time for the other members. I'd also want to see less JL members...maybe 5 at most. Then they could dedicate more time to each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. P. L. Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 The original "movie" (I don't know if it was made for Tv or what...). Some friends have seen it, they say it's so hilarious it's heart threatening... Notice that Green Lantern is not green anymore... http://www.dc-on-film.com/justiceleague/tv_01.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This rendition was brutal to watch. I hope they don't do anything at all like this again. It was absolutely horrible. I hate CAMP humor. Especially when it comes to my superheroes.

Atomic.Feedback! Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Ah, Martian Manhunter. He was always my favorite... He should get his own movie. As for the JL? No way. Supe and Bats are too big, and too many of the others are too far-fetched to be good movie material. Exculding Batman, I don't think DC heroes port well to the Big, Live Screen. Although I think a Green Arrow movie has some potential... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
