I can prove it by simply seeing Bruce Timm's absence from any of these movies. This man is responsible for nearly everything DC animated that is better than both DC and Marvel's cinematic outputs. What is he doing now? He's still working on animation. He's proved himself capable of being a competent executive producer of the DC cinematic universe. If he spearheaded the DCcU, we would have what we want.

DC animation is good, could have translated well to the cinemas

DC comics are good, too. Doesn't always mean it will translate well in the movies.

Except animation and film are both visual medium. That's why directors for animated movies and live action movies are interchangeable.

So, which anime directors have directed a blockbuster like Cap, Iron man, or the TDK?

Nice list, but christ, some of those movies they did were awful.

Campea touched upon this as well. Just because you do well in the cartoon/TV aspect, doesn't mean he'll translate well in live action.

President of Production? The more you know. Thanks. I still want Bruce Timm leading the creative charge of the DCCU. He's still the best person suitable for the job. Greg Silverman hasn't been on the job for a year and he's already heading straight to Justice League. He hasn't solved the biggest problem WB's had for the past 40 years.

What problem is that?

Bruce Timm? No thanks. I'd rather Superman not be worfed every few minutes nor do I want to see Batman consistently out perform every other League member.

Many on here and other sites want solo movies first before Justice League, not vague hints of them after Justice League.

😮 Regardless, I would still trust him to lead Snyder, Goyer, Affleck, Terrio and keep up with Silverman than to not have him at all. They need cohesiveness and he knows how to do that.

And I'm sure it will still appeal to them. Plus that completely avoids my point. Why do us comic fans need to have solo films for these characters before seeing them together in the JL?

Actually no it doesn't... just because as a comic book fan i know these characters from the inside out doesn't mean that i don't want an origin film which in the case of WW, Green Arrow and Flash you need one especially since for the very first time we will see them on the big screen.. and yes the points i made stand because again at the end of the day the name of the game is making money and that isn't gonna happen if just comic book fans go see a comic book film.. here is an example, would the dark knight have made the money it did had heath ledger died?.. why didn't batman begins make a billion dollars.. even i knew as a bat fanatic that it would make just enough to spawn a sequel.. the world's population isn't made up of comic book lovers so i can guarantee damn you that WB 's execs are locked in a room(well maybe not locked) but in that room they are discussing how do we make WW's first appearance on screen a success and so every little girl would like?? they are also thinking , how are we going to make the flash likable and better than what people have seen already(i.e. quicksilver first in days of future past and then in age of ultron).. also they are thinking how exactly do we get people to believe in two versions of Green Arrow...

Of course Justice League will be a hit, regardless of how good it actually is. The point is, if Warner Bros is more patient and properly does the solo films first, Justice League has so much more potential.

yep..

Still seems like a rush job , or desperation moves.
I dont get why WB/DC whole futute plans scream "beat Marvel to the punch". I get that vibe from all these announcements and their movieverse plans..
The thing is that Marvel already beat them to the punch. There is no reason to try to rush out a JL movie to compete against Avengers 2 or 3.
They were already beaten in that regard by Marvel. They need to stop focusing on rushing everything to compete with marvel and do things right for the sake of their universe.
A few posters already mentioned good ways to go about this. ex. small cameos in Bat vs. supes that lead to individual movies, and later down the line a JL movie. Or incorporate the TV show origins into the movieverse of some their characters, etc.

good point..

oh and the ten films in development doesn't mean anything either

this Campea or cannibus person, whatever the frack his name is, does he WORK FOR WB or is he JUST GIVING AN OPINION?????

Warner Brothers are a bunch of money grabbing pussies. They have no ambition like the guys over in Marvel. Marvel loves the money but they believe in big things from their character.

They have passionate people and visionaries:

Kevin Feige
Stan Lee
Avi Arad
Joss Whedon
Jon Favreau

DC has nothing of the sort except Nolan who is now gone. Snyder and Goyer are just bad. They need talented people stat. I know people hate on Ben Affleck, but he adds a recognizable face to DC comics.

The amount of money the movie makes is irrelevant to me (other than it makes enough to get a sequel) all I care about is if I enjoy the film. That's it. If people on this board are bitching about them making the JL film first because they think it will make less money, that's fine. I have no clue if it will make more or less nor do I care.

you should care because if the film flops then its back to the drawing board.. Personally i see this film making just enough to get people excited for Justice League

Here here. People criticize them not making solo films so they can maximise profits, but now people complain because wb are gready studio mongers. Lol.

Would you have enjoyed The Avengers more if it came out right after Iron Man 1?

What? It's not just about, I'm a comic book fan, so I'm going to enjoy JL regardless of how they set it up. End of the day I'm a movie fan as well, and want to be interested in the movie reinventions of these characters before the big team up for my own enjoyment.

I mean Jeez do you honestly think we would have enjoyed Avengers just as much without having seen any of the Marvel Solo movies first?

It's important to like these characters on the big screen, and it's important for us to be happy/satisfied with where they have all come from on the big screen (i.e. their origins). And if the movies already exist, but I haven't seen them all, then at least I would be aware of that, and would expect to be missing out on bits. Like walking into Spider-Man 2 without watching Spiderman 1. I would know this is a sequel, and would just accept then that I've missed out on some of the backstory there.

But a movie with no origins or character development anywhere for the majority of these random, unrelated superheros? That's just strange.

I didn't enjoy most of the solo movies THAT much to care, so, yeah, I would have enjoyed the Avengers just as much. That's just my opinion, though.
