Any of these movies could easily bomb. I'm talking about which of the aforementioned would most likely succeed conceptually.
The other super heroes on that. list have a big chance of bombing on the big screen if everything does not go right. Or if the are not interesting enough for non comic book fans.

If done right, a Justice League movie would likely succeed.The JLA roster is filled with very famous and well-known comic book superheroes.
First have all the lead characters star in their own movies and then have their story lineas eventually connect in the JLA movie.

GL failed imo because they broke space opera rule #4. Never try to build the universe up during the story. The universe has to already have been established with a conflict already in place. The viewer is then invited into a seemingly already rich and lush story-verse. They tried to mix super hero origin story with space opera. Oil and water.My thing would be to stay away from origin stuff altogether or touch upon it in a way that doesn't confound the plot. Jump right into it kinda like Nova's Annihilation prologue. Set up the main players, and then get to it.
The Annihilation storyline would be a good way to introduce the Nova Corps; it would excuse someone like Richard Rider getting ushered into the Nova Corps so quickly, because they have to throw every recruit into the fray. Just don't end it with Xandar's destruction and Rider having to carry the Worldmind.

I was thinking more the current storyline and where it's likely headed. It would translate beautifully to a film script without much adaptation at all, IMO.
I could see that. The whole "Aquaman knows people laugh at him but doesn't give a shit" aspect would definitely be useful in something with that wide an audience.

👆 Exactly. There's a lot that they could do with that. Hell they could make it a trilogy if they wanted.

Unfortunately if they did it now, they would look like Johnny Come Late-lies to the party, and be seen as a copy. And a lot of personality would have to be stirred into the mix to make it interesting, which might make some other heroes getting in and others being left out.
What helped make the recent JL animated series work was it was Wally West and Jon Stewart as Flash & GL, respectfully, instead of Barry Allen & Hal Jordan. Barry's a very milquetoast mid-western guy, while Wally was the closest to a Peter Parker type at DC than anyone else. Who in the JL could possibly fill the place of someone like Robert Downey Jr., as a lovable motormouth womanizing a-hole genius? The Superman-Batman personality conflict is easy, but you need more work than that to create the dysfunctional family we root for in Avengers.
