Glad Christopher Nolan will be back as producer, but I hope he and his brother have a bigger role than what they did in MOS. I also want some new writers on board, because i think that was one of the weakest aspects of MOS.Very pumped for this.
I agree.
I know they hinted at them facing off, but that's unnecessary. PIS, CIS, and it will look like it's trying to copy the Avengers. The only face off I want to see is the eventual verbal chatter between the two. This movie should have the Intergang as a way to briefly introduce the New Gods while still being connected to whatever the main plot is.

I'm pretty sure everyone's agreed they need more solo films first.Otherwise the JL movie will just be the next Superman/Batman with a few their superhero friends introduced. There would still be loads of hype to it I guess. Heck just Superman/Batman will build loads of hype.
But it's also pretty risky when they haven't successfully pulled off any of the other JL members yet.
I forgot which producer said this, but they wanted to spin the solo movies after the big JL film. I already posted a good article from comicvine on why it's actually smarter to spin the solo movies last. Which was a good read, IMO.

It works fine in the comics when a competent writer does it.
You either dumb down Superman like they did Thor in Avengers and attempt to make humans like Hawkeye important but ask any general viewere, they will tell you, only hulk, Thor and iron man were needed

Black widow, Cao, and Hawkeye were not needed. Honestly, they contributed nothing, but showing complete incompetence of everyone else.
They all contributed to the fighting, though Cap, showed that the fight wasn't just taking out the enemies and monsters, but also doing what they could to get as many citizens to safety as possible.
From the inception the way the JLA universe is panning out this is looking like a major fail. There's nothing the Flash can do that Superman can't... so he's unnecessary. I am REALLY hoping that DC can pull this off and make it decent, at the very least, but with their track record thus far (Green Lantern sucked, MoS was decent) they have VERY little foundation to launch this. I want there to be SOME competition for Marvel to keep them sharp, but there isn't any (my apologies to everyone on Nolan's sack). They're rushing it due to Marvel's success.

don't agree at all. Loeb's run on S/B is widely considered a top notch team-up book. not saying it's easy, but it's definitely possible.

flash is faster than superman, and can do things superman can't.

That was a while ago. From what I've heard since the consensus is that they need to make some solo movies first. Otherwise the JL movie will have to deal with Origin stories and there won't be the same level of years long marketing hype the Avengers had.

Well JLA hasn't been greenlit yet. I don't think a Superman/Batman movie is being rushed. In fact I think it's long overdue. There was talk of this like 10 years ago. And let's face it the 2 characters have had more than enough screen time individually.
Originally posted by Accelthey contributed squat. Having them kill aliens which were limitless is dumb. Captain American site did something; he ordered police officers and instructed them on how to evacuate civilians. Cuz you know! Officers have no clue what to do, but cap who was frozen in ice for decades had more common sense than trained POs lol.

Whatever they did was next to nothing. They contributed nothing to ending the fight/war

Plus, y’know, the helping civilians get to safety thing, which is pretty important itself.

Which was significantly better than letting the aliens go around killing everyone unopposed. And it was certainly more than Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk could have taken out by themselves.Plus, y’know, the helping civilians get to safety thing, which is pretty important itself.
I imagine the NYPD hasn’t been trained in the event of an alien invasion coming out of the sky. Where as Cap DOES have at least some experience dealing with the extraordinary from WW2 and he knew far about Loki and the Chitauri than they did (not sore what him being frozen has to do with anything).
My main point is, I think it's ridiculous that a guy frozen in ice had more common sense than trained officials/police officers. If you honestly think a police officer is not trained to evacuate civilians in case of emergencies, then we have nothing else to discuss. Weather it is aliens, planes, soviets, Chinese, or koreans, you bet your arse, they will know to evacuate people out of harms way. Instead, you got cops wondering what to do, and cap comes in giving them orders, because you know, there are that idiotic.
Hawkeye, widow, and cap contributed nothing to end the war, if you think they did, we were watching different movies.

Iron Man contributed slightly more by pushing the nuke into the portal, but even that wasn’t something that was really planned and nearly destroyed the city.

Where did you hear that? I've been following along and I haven't heard that they will make solo movies first.
Originally posted by AccelBecause a guy that just came out of a coma has more common sense. Sheesh man, the dude literally time travel but still has the common sense to evacuate people
Again, why? Would you prefer if he wasn’t frozen at all or something? It’s not like it dumbed him down. And he’s shown he knows how to lead from his time as a soldier.

Emergencies, yes. This was a bit more than just an ordinary emergency. And it was one that took every one completely off-guard.
I’d imagine with any of those scenarios (especially aliens), that there is at least going to be that initial confusion and then eventually some organization on what to do, though countless more lives could be lost in that process. Cap just sped things along there.
Honestly, confusion as to what do we do by the common people yes. Police Officer are trained to EVACUATE to centers, or people out of harms way. Seriously, make, it's nothing out of the ordinary.
If someone breaks into your house whether it's a man, dog, alien..etc. YOU can bet my initial reaction is to grab a bat underneath my bed.
If you’re really going to be that black and white about it, Iron Man, Thor and Hulk didn’t contribute much more than they did, considering they were just taking out hordes of limitless aliens (y’know, like Cap, Widow, and Hawkeye were). Iron Man contributed slightly more by pushing the nuke into the portal, but even that wasn’t something that was really planned and nearly destroyed the city.
Widow was the one that shut the portal. Cap led and directed the team; they were only as good as they were because Cap was leading them. Not to mention Hawkeye being Iron Man's spotter.
Some played bigger parts than others, sure, but everyone still played a part. The reason teams with human members works so well is that next to Superman, or Thor, most villains will underestimate the Batmans and Captain Americas.

Aren't all emergencies nearly .....off-guard? Aren't police officers trained for those kind of emergencies? Also, it's one thing to claim that a police officer doesn't know what to do in a situation where he has to square off against aliens an another where he is pitted in a situation where all he has to do in evacuate people.
It’s really not much of stretch that they might not know right away what to do in that situation. They’re not thinking “Hey, all we have to do is...” because there are far too many variables in play that would most likely exceed their training.
It’s probably difficult to ascertain what the best evacuation spots are when just about everything around you is being blown up.

Hawkeye, Widow, and Cap only took down a few of those Chiatari's . Hulk, Thor, and Ironman took those big worms, destroyed countless near the portal, defeated Loki..etc.
Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man took on the heaviest-hitters (the flying whale monsters), but clearly they were far from the only problem there.
