Anybody who wants to wait anxiously for a new Batman movie, raise your hand.
I'll gladly wait & see where they take the Batman franchise next, in fact I think spinning the new Batman franchise off of JLA is smarter in this case.
I'm even pretty excited for Man of Steel, but again if it has no connection to the JLA movie, it's just going to get extremely convoluted.
Yeah, welcome to the world of comicbooks, reboots happen all the fucking time, what's your point?
Plus, they had characters like Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America that people really wanted to see individually.
I cannot think of a single person that when they heard there was going to be a Thor movie gave a shit, nobody was excited of Thor.
Green Lantern sucked balls.
It was bad, but it's not nearly as bad as everyone is trying to make it out to be, I mean both Ghost Riders, Catwoman, Jonah Hex, & Ang Lee's Hulk were all far far faaaaaaaar worse. GL had some moments, it's biggest problem was them trying to cram too much shit into it.
If they make an Aquaman film, it's probably going to be entirely CGI too, and it will suck as well.
The fact that the movie is about Aquaman is likely going to have more to do with why it'll suck than anything else.
Flash could be cool, depending on what era they take his character from.
I don't know how the era would matter, they update everything, so you would get Barry Allen in today's world... kind of like what they're currently doing in the comics.
But the only real "draws" for a JLA film are Batman and Superman.
Yeah so? I fail to see a problem there, people go because of those two characters & then find that they love the other characters as well, & DC makes movies for each of them afterwards, then they know which characters the fans love most, so not to waste any time or money making moves about people nobody cares about.
And with Nolan's Batman and the new Man of Steel film so fresh on our minds, even by 2015, and I'm still not going to be able to separate those ideas in my head. This all seems really sloppy and rushed, and thus far I'm not even remotely excited.
That sounds more like a you problem than anything else
EDIT: There is one thing DC and whoever ends up producing and directing this movie can do to win over comic books fans. Give Alan Moore and Scott Synder total creative control over the script.
This is a terrible idea, Snyder is busy writing 5 different monthly books for DC (Batman, American Vampire, Swamp Thing, Talon, & his new Superman project w/ Jim Lee), dude has his plate pretty full, & you want him to add a movie script to that pile as well.
Alan Moore is a grumpy old asshole who hates everybody & everything, every time DC adapts one of his works to film, be bitches & complains, he's done this with Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell & League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, he's not exactly on good terms with DC at the moment as a result of Before Watchmen either, why the fuck would this dirty old prick of a hermit want to come out of his cave in the woods to write a script for a company he currently has no love for what so ever?
Marvel and Disney showed that patience is the key to making something like this successful. They took their sweet time building up to The Avengers and man did it pay off. Warner Brothers is doing the exact opposite and as Norcal put it, it's going to no doubt end up being an absolute fucking disaster.
DC & WB has spent the last 12 yrs. building up the characters in JLA through cartoons on TV & amazingly well done direct to DVD animated features. If you think DC & WB should follow a similar path as Marvel & Disney, then you have about 7 movies to make to introduce each of the characters, which means it's gonna be at least 7-8 yrs. before we get a JLA movie. Pretty much everyone who is going to see a JLA movie has grown up with these characters, whether it be through cartoons, various prime time tv shows (Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman), or past movie franchises. If you don't know these characters than you've been living under a rock for the past 50 yrs. cause they've been every fucking where.
