Joss Whedon on JL Movier,or Why I HATE Joss Whedon.

Whedon doesn't seem like he's insulting anyone, indeed its likely that he's not, knowing what we know about his career. He has a point and thats all. I kinda agree.

Superman - super speed / strength / flight/ others nigh indestructable
Wonder woman - super speed / strength / flight/ others inc indestructable weapons
Captain M - super speed / strength / flight/ others nigh indestructable
Hal - super speed / strength / flight/ others, power limited only by his imagination..
Flash - one of the fastest beings in the universe

The line up is stacked and i have a hard enough time believeing SUpermans peril letalone an entire team of "supermen" on top of that (playing devils advocate) i have to believe that 'movie' batman offers anything in the range of offensive or defensive or tactical options that these 5 Gods are somehow unable to factor into planetary or Galactic affairs, even though Batman doesn't operate at those levels.

Its a stretch too far and i dont think anyone is up to the challenge. The one person that COULD do it - Whedon - says it's not currently viable and not a simple translation and hes right. Too many factors to make a cohesive character story with believeable team mechanic and convincing peril. imo

God I don't know who I hate more. WHEDON or his FANS that say crap like this.

If they make a JL movie, they should definitely use a different Batman, and not Nolan's.

Would love to see a mega battle against villains like the one in the DCU game cinematic trailer, and not just bashing random aliens.

That's going a bit far...

That trailer is amazing. Same team who made the SWTOR trailer right? I wish those guys would make a movie, they're just fantastic.

Someones green with envy.

Hey, Mark Millar used to write for DC once, and he's said the same thing about the problems adapting many of their characters for the big screen, and that they are better suited for animation series.

DC & Warner Bros. had Joss Whedon once, to create a Wonder Woman movie. But after a couple of years of diddling with them he resigned from the project and it hasn't been made, just like Justice League got cancelled for thankfully good reasons (some stupid casting & story ideas.)

Jaimie Alexander - playing Sif in Thor - has talked about meeting with them about Wonder Woman, and said they weren't interested in making a serious movie about her. Green Lantern's failure has set them back years, to try and rethink their approach yet again about expanding their universe. All these decades owning DC comics, and Warner Bros. still hasn't figured out how to cross them over?

Batman is their only safe bet for the movies right now; Superman is in midst of another overhaul. We'll see if Man Of Steel pans out, but I don't think Zack Snyder is any more suited to do Superman than Tim Burton or Bryan Singer was. DC/Warners logic is someone has done colourful costume stuff before, they can keep doing it no matter the project? How much of it was being forced into production by the terms of the Siegel/Shuster lawsuit...?

They need to show the kind of daring that made them hire Christopher Nolan once upon a time (and reject Frank Miller's ham fisted Batman proposal.)

If a Justice League movie was be to made. I think the 1st thing DC should do is to break the "Origins"-formula.

Just jump start in to the story & have the audience simply accept that these characters a) exist & b) are banded together in times of crisis.

Dc definitely has the potential to offer diverse and compelling scenarios with their characters but unfortunalately this is rarely taken advantage of. There are a few examples where we get glimpses of this potential greatness. The Alex Ross art design helps to make the Kingdom Come series an impact. Hellblazer was a great line, I think, The Watchmen, was a better moive than the Avengers.
If Whedon is to be the man behind, The Avengers, then i think the movie franchise will be translated and adapted quite well. Atleast, i hope. I just wish Sony didn't have the rights to, Spiderman.

What the...??? 😑

I'm not even sorry for what I'm going to type:

I don't keep up with comics too much but I do know the basics. With that being said, its going to take a lot more than what was said in this interview for me to be let down by Joss Whedon. After all, he gave us Buffy and I like the way he does Emma Frost.

I'm a Whedon fan. Sue me.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the biggest dilemma DC has in bringing the Justice League to screen would be one of copyright issues.

I mean each character was created by a different artist/writer compared to Marvel where Stan Lee has created & owns most of his characters. Stan Lee & Marvel are a package deal, whereas the amount of red-tape DC would have to go through dealing with multiple ownership issues would be disruptive to making a competent movie.

His work on X-Men is the best X-Men of the past decade bar MAYBE Grant Morrison's run, imo.

They wouldn't really; DC owns the rights to almost all it's big characters, and the only trouble they really have is with Superman, and yet they managed to get through that.

They just need WB to back the **** off.

I tend to agree. Although, I think both were superior to the two Spidey films (which I still loved BTW).

Good luck on that.

I don't know what kind of red tape is interfering with things at WB. They can put all their heroes together for TV on Smallville, but they can't do it for the big screen?

Harry Potter is done; excuses are over.

Love or hate Joss Whedon, Love or hate the Avengers. All I give a shit about is that it gives him enough power to get Firefly on the go again. Capt Reynolds beasts Capt Yank.

The show or do you want another film in the franchise?

This I agree with also.
