Justice League Movie!!

I guess they are going to try and push for a justice league movie, to compete with the avengers. but according to EP Daily, Christian Bale will not be doing Batman.

I'm a little worried about this, why not get Bale, and wait and see if the new superman is anygood before they push it forward?

Here's a link to one webstie reporting it.

Because Bale won't fit in a JLA movie. They're rebooting Batman after Dark Knight rises, and the Superman in JLA won't be Henry Cavill.

i think marvel is doing the right thing.. they're casting the characters from their respective movies and putting them together in avengers movie.. they have been putting in the ground work by giving the main characters the proper intro.. a stand alone justice league movie could be a trilogy to tie in the death of superman.. other than that, DC should go the marvel route..

you know a whole lot of people get mad at me when i say this but while i live bales batman im happy for a re-boot....they can do the comic book friendly batman but do it better then burton and then a jla! that would be awesome....along with this is the flash script up for discussion....so i assume his movie would be tied into the justice league movie.

So they cancelled this movie a few years ago because they realized the folly of having different actors playing Superman and Batman in different film series...but now they think it's OK??

I'm okay with a different cast. I like the Nolan/Bale Batman, but don't see him on a JLA team with characters who have super powers.

If it's done right, it should be worth watching.

The problem is this can ruin the stand-alone movies. Look at Iron Man 2... That movie was terrible because they were pushing the Avengers plot rather than the Iron Man one.

TBH, I think that the DC characters can for the most part get away with having more than one actor playing certain characters. People like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and even the likes of Flash and Aquaman are recognisable by their costumes; i don't think many people are going to get THAT confused with two actors playing the role of the same hero.

DC is doing sort of the opposite of the Marvel route, by using a JLA movie to launch people like Flash and Wonder Woman in to their own movies. And to be honest, I can see the logic in such a move.

Aside from the Batman movies Marvel is handing DC their ass at the box office and now they're just starting to grasp at straws with this, the new WW tv show and of course being so desperate to hold onto the one good franchise they have going for them with Nolan, Bale and everyone leaving after the next one. They already planning a Batman reboot before the next film is even finished and ready for release!

They should instead be taking a cue from Marvel and try giving some of their other characters a decent shot with actors that fit the parts and writers/directors that actually care about these characters and are willing to do them justice like Nolan did with Batman and Favreau did for Iron Man and I believe Whedon will do for the Avengers. Take time to do the films right for the fans that made them famous and not just for a biggest opening weekend. Then work it into the movies to be intertwined into a huge JLA production.

I enjoyed Ironman 2. And it only hinted at the Avengers initiative at the end.

if DC thinks they can treat their live action films like their animated direct-to-DVD ones - where every version is in it's own separate continuity - I think they are mistaken.

I really like Bale as Batman but no matter who plays him Batman still doesn't have super powers and he doesn't in the cartoons either so that doesn't matter.

IMO they should push for Bale for Batman, and see how the new superman plays out, and if it's any good get Renolds for green lantern.
Have some continuity, instead of recasting and rushing it. lets see one flash movie and wonderwoman movie and then in 5 years do a JLA movie with Bale and renolds.

And to reboot something that doesn't need rebooting like Nolans batman is crap.

Nah. Remeber the entire Black Widow plot, stupid shit like this prevented them from focusing on Stark.

No, the part of the plot involving her was in support of what was going on around Stark. It's not like she was acting in a completely different movie.

And we've been seeing it since the first Iron Man - story threads that are hinting towards the coming Avengers movie. All the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are doing it. It's what makes it different from watching X-Men and Fantastic Four, all locked away in their own film continuity. I'm preferring it this way.

Agreed, just because he doesn't have powers doesn't mean he wont fit in the movie or the cartoon for that matter.

exactly. the only problem is that batman in the cartoons was altered to be able to work at that level. bale would need to be radically different than he was in tdk, imo.

Never said she was. But the use of her character was detrimental to Stark and the rest of the characters in the Iron Man crew. That was the real problem for me, the S.H.E.I.L.D. plotline seemed to derail what should have been Stark's plight.

I'm perfectly fine with them hinting at it. What I don't like is having these "hints" becoming essential to the movie. I just hope Thor and Captain America don't fall to the same problem.

it will suck because DC sucks.

Exactly.

This is the problem I have with Nolan's Batman. As a movie by itself, it is brilliant. But for people who know about the comics and animated Batman, its just not the same character IMO.
