That might happen, but only time will really tell. Whedon is prob somewhat constrained due to what came before him, but it'll be interesting to see how much creativity he has.

[Spider-Vader]

I think we'll be blown away by what Whedon can do with the amount of money Avengers will get for it's budget. I'm pretty sure he's never done anything close to this scale before, yet all of his previous works look great!

[protocida]

- The film is chock full of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents (most wearing the standard black suit while others wear specialized outfits) with the most prominent given names from Marvel Comics mythology including: Alexander Goodwin Pierce, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Wendell Vaughn, Jasper Sitwell, Clay Quartermain, Jack Truman, Abigail Brand, Larry Young & Jimmy Woo.

- Along with the famous headquarters airship known as the Helicarrier, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents will be piloting a more tactical aircraft; though it is unknown whether it will be The Avengers' Quinjet or the yellow/red S.H.I.E.L.D. "Flying Car"

- Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) will finally get his time to shine while leading a S.H.I.E.L.D. force during the film's penultimate battle scene

- S.H.I.E.L.D. agents will brandish plenty of "future tech" weaponry including a modified plasma sidearm and accompanying shoulder-fired rifle (more than likely to help with the PG-13 rating). Though it is unknown how much of a presence they will have, several cosmic artifacts will be reasoning behind the creation of these weapon systems.

:yay:

[Spider-Vader]

I hope during the battle scenes that the SHIELD agents wear something similar to the comic costume. That costume isn't outlandish, so I don't see why Marvel would avoid using it.

It's true. And those "artifacts" - the contents of Odin's vault - include...

The Infinity Gauntlet.
The Cosmic Cube.
The Warlock's Eye.
The Orb of Agamotto.
The Eternal Flame.
The Tablet of Life.
The Twilight Sword.

[Iceman]

Coulson gets to kick ass!

This SHIELD stuff is awesome. I didn't expect them to be featured this much.

[protocida]

It makes sense, seeing as this is supposed to jumpstart a SHIELD spin-off.

[MahvelBaby!]

I wonder if we will see Fury owning fools? O_O

[Wolvieboy17]

Seriously,way too much Shield stuff. This film will obviously fail. They're just using it to cross promote the Shield movie.

"Agent Phil Coulson will return in S.H.I.E.L.D"


:P :P :P :P

pssshhhhh This movie should be renamed

....Phil Coulson

It will break all box office records! O_O

He should break up the fight between Thor and Hulk with his bare hands O_O

The Son of Coul would never dirty his hands. All it takes is a look.

[Wolvieboy17]

Phil Coulsons chest hair alone would make Chuck Norris explode

[MahvelBaby!]

He gives them the Freezing stare of death?

http://www.williambrucewest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/coulson.jpg

Son of Coul does not approve!

Phil coulson > The Avengers, Chuck Norris & The Dos Equis man...combined! O_O

I bet Son of Coul could beat Nicky Fury, Thor, Batman, Chuck Noris and Hulk with a a blink of an eye :cmad::cwink:

[WarBlade]

"Agent Coulson: Son of Coul"?

Nah, that just makes his father sound important. Coulson doesn't need any embellishments. His name just rocks the pants of everyone in itself. The title of the movie should be...


COULSON!

[Chewy]

The Hype needs a Phil Coulson death stare smilie :awesome:

'm telling you 616, marvel zombie, ultimate, video game, every universe needs Son of Coul. He is that awesome

interesting info about Derek. I wonder what is Gabe Jone's role in Avengers.

[WarBlade]

He could be the uncle of Coulson?

[ironman29758]

He could be the uncle of Coulson?
i can see you
Gabe Jones: Coulson, it's your uncle, I want to see you
HULK: YOUR NOT WORTHY OF COULSON'S GREATNESS!!!! (hULK THROWS Gabe far away and give the movie theater a big thumbs up)

[MahvelBaby!]

Crazy but plausible explanation of Derek being in.....Loki is a shapeshifter :D He gonna be messin with some heads in this film!

Except with Son Coul.....Commie don't play that!

[Quasimod0]

:yay:
Whered this come from?!

[Chewy]

Will Coulson finally get to debrief someone?

[Rock Sexton]

Agreed. I expect them to spend over 200 mil on Avengers, though. It's their only film next year, and previous history shows when that happened with IM2, it got a 200mil budget. Avengers I expect to get a higher budget than that."

I read that it was $170 million ....

Thanks to cincinnati.com, we now have a little more information about the estimated budget of the 2012 summer superhero blockbuster along with a few more details about filming in Ohio:

Kristen Erwin, who is the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Film Commission executive director, has stated that The Avengers will have an estimated budget of $170 million and will be spending about $30 million in Ohio alone.

Erwin also stated that they will shoot in Ohio for two weeks. She could not reveal an exact location, but did say that it would be within 30 miles of Cincinnati and that they're "still negotiation a location agreement" with Marvel Studios.

In short, Cleveland and Southwestern Ohio will be the two main spots for filming of The Avengers when they visit the state.

[Quasimod0]

i think he means that they will have spent that much by the time its done

Derek Luke To Reprise Captain America 'Gabe Jones' Role In The Avengers!
http://**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=37188

I don't believe it. It's CBM and I don't see anything on Variety on it.

[MahvelBaby!]

I had actually posted the real article a few pages back...well in the old thread now lol.

[Chewy]

Variety does say it but it's possible Variety made a mistake. Wouldn't shock me.

[Parker Wayne]

I read that it was $170 million ....



http://www.**************.com/avengers/news/?a=36844

Once again, would you really believe CBM and a small time website over what came straight from Kevin Feige's mouth about it being much more expensive than any other Marvel movie they made. They made Iron Man 2 for $170 million.

[Blader5489]

I don't believe it. It's CBM and I don't see anything on Variety on it.

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118036960

Luke will soon be seen as Gabe Jones in "Captain America," a role he'll reprise in "Marvel's The Avengers."

[Wolvieboy17]

That's interesting about Gabe Jones being in Avengers. So perhaps this means he's in the modern parts of Cap, rather than the WWII parts...

@Chewy, maybe we get to see Coulson debrief Maria Hill, if you know what I mean. Chicka bump bump

[Rock Sexton]

What's this "Once Again" crap dude .... I never saw those comments Champ. My bad. Your night will get better.

Ironically we're talking about Gabe on here ..... Don't get too crazy on'em .... it's CBM reporting it.

[Chewy]

Isn't Gabe Jones on the phone in the trailer? In WW2?

[Wolvieboy17]

We're talking about Gabe based on the Variety article posted above.

I hate CBM just as much as anyone, but you can't judge their reliability unless you actually read the articles to see if they're sourced or not, like both the Gabe and the Budget articles were.

[Wolvieboy17]

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20110508/ENT02/105080324/-Avengers-film-two-weeks-here

Hey, look, it's not CBM anymore! Wow!

[Excelsior.]

They made Iron Man 2 for $170 million. I thought it was 200 million?

[Wolvieboy17]

It was 200 mil, but Iron Man 1 was only 140 Million, so if you split the difference it's closer to 170 mil :P

[Excelsior.]

It was 200 mil, but Iron Man 1 was only 140 Million, so if you split the difference it's closer to 170 mil :P

I always knew Coulson was a total badass. :oldrazz:

If Son of Coul is walking calmly toward some skrulls, breaks open a giant matrix/Jason Statham style can of whoop a** on about 8 of them, brushes himself off and straightens his jacket then keeps walking calmly..........


My head will explode from the epic coolness.

:wow:

:awesome:

:bow:

[Rowsdower!]

Marvel will never make a movie solely about Phil Coulson. The idea was pitched, but he turned them down.

I noticed that we haven't heard much about Maria Hill, could this mean that her role won't be that important?

[Dr Lee]

I noticed that we haven't heard much about Maria Hill, could this mean that her role won't be that important?

or it's important and they are keeping her out the limelight?

[Spider-ManHero12]

[Silvermoth]

I noticed that we haven't heard much about Maria Hill, could this mean that her role won't be that important?

I see it more as a growth role. She's in there so that she could move the story towards more sequel opportunities.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ That's what I'm thinking as well. Let's also not forget that they may not want us to know so much about her until the film is released.

[marcvader]

Do we know what anyone's role will be without assuming really? It's all guesswork at this juncture

Several sources say different things. Some say 170 million and others say 200 million.

[Mr. Earle]

:yay:Protocida, how do you always know so much about these films?

Thanks for the info. Btw i heard that Son of Coul will die. Is this true?

[Brian Braddock]

It would not surprise me one bit, given the cult status that he seems to have garnered. Actually it makes sense for them to go with Coulson - they can have a death that impacts and resonates with the fanbase and they dont have to sacrifice a 'main' character.

[Mr. Earle]

But why does someone have to die? Nobody needs to die. Coulson needs to live and be incorporated in the comics.

I just love how cute he is most of the time (lol at Tony trolling him and avoiding him) and when **** hits the fan he's all badass and commanding like in Thor.

[Dr Lee]

WTF Coulson???

[Rock Sexton]

It would not surprise me one bit, given the cult status that he seems to have garnered. Actually it makes sense for them to go with Coulson - they can have a death that impacts and resonates with the fanbase and they dont have to sacrifice a 'main' character.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[Hypestyle]

...So who gets to yell "Avengers: Assemble!"?

[Quasimod0]

But isnt clark gregg signed on for more movies after avengers?

[Dr Lee]

...So who gets to yell "Avengers: Assemble!"?

love to hear SLJ shout that.... but i expect it'll be Thor or Cap....

[Quasimod0]

Hopefully cap, thats his line. i dont like hearing iron man say it in emh

[Rowsdower!]

Is there any chance Vision will show up in these movies?

[marcvader]

I think its possible, would love to see it.

[Rowsdower!]

If they do, I hope he's in his colorless form. That look is so much better than the green/red/yellow Mr. Miracle look, IMO.

[Brian Braddock]

Gotta go with the coloured version personally; bit of a traditionalist. Would truly love to see this in live action:-

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/SUPERBENITEZ/visioneweb.jpg

My God, Vision would be kick-ass cinematically. - I mean, a synthezoid [that can increase his body density at will to that as hard as a diamond one minute then to that of air the next] that acts like its human?

How can that not be cool on-screen?

[Chewy]

How can that not be cool on-screen?They could get Andy Dick to voice it.

[Whiskey Tango]

They could get Andy Dick to voice it.

Oh, heads would roll.:cmad:

[wobbly]

Is there any chance Vision will show up in these movies?

To do vision close to the books we need Pym & Ultron as well. Could also do with the original Human Torch but that isn't essential. Just as well as I don't think Marvel will (or maybe can't) use that version.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Is there any chance Vision will show up in these movies? I wouldn't rule it out.

[HighFivingMF]

They could get Andy Dick to voice it.

Then Jon Lovitz would need to be let loose on that stage. :cmad:

[Crimson King]

But isnt clark gregg signed on for more movies after avengers?

He said he was only signed for four, and Avengers is his fourth movie.

[Brian Braddock]

To do vision close to the books we need Pym & Ultron as well. Could also do with the original Human Torch but that isn't essential. Just as well as I don't think Marvel will (or maybe can't) use that version.

Yeah, I'd hate to lose the Vision/Ultron 'brother' link.

[marcvader]

I always hated the white look for Vis.

[Majik1387]

I can finally read this thread again without being spoiled by Thor conversation. :yay:

[Iceman]

Vision is one of the characters I would most like to see in a sequel.

[Adamantium Man]

I don't want Son of Coul to die! :csad:

But if he must, then let him go out in a blaze of glory, saving the day, or at least doing something crucial that'll help the Avengers save the day. ::insert Son of Coul smiley here::

[Rowsdower!]

Then Jon Lovitz would need to be let loose on that stage. :cmad:

Lovitz for Thanos!

[protocida]

I noticed that we haven't heard much about Maria Hill, could this mean that her role won't be that important?
The Skrull Queen, Anelle, is supposedly impersonating her.

Protocida, how do you always know so much about these films?

Apparently.

[R_Hythlodeus]

::insert Son of Coul smiley here:: We need that!!

Apparently.
You really think, that this script was real? I mean, it sounds like fake & stuff.

Someone posted bits of "the script" on IMDB forums, but from the sound of it & the details, I doubt that it's the real deal.

[The Morningstar]

IMDB? I would take anything said on there with a... mountain of salt.

[Quasimod0]

I'm pretty sure the script that the guy on imdb was talkin about was fake. i thought someone said he admitted it too. i dont believe it because it sounded lame

[RealIrOnMaN]

IMDB? I would take anything said on there with a... mountain of salt.
Yep.

[marcvader]

The fact Marvel didn't do anything says a lot.

[Dr Lee]

anything to do with an upcoming movie is always suspect on IMDB unless backed up with a 2nd source...

[protocida]

It sounded in-touch with what a movie would do and what we had heard so far. Remember, IMDB can also break the news on big stuff. Barakapool, by example.

[RealIrOnMaN]

In-touch? Sorry, but "the script" stuff sounded lame enough & totally not what I would like to see in the movie, that everyone (me included) expected for 5 goddamn years.

[Chewy]

The stuff from IMDB was very, very untrue

[Cth]

It sounded in-touch with what a movie would do and what we had heard so far. Remember, IMDB can also break the news on big stuff. Barakapool, by example.

The guy who wrote it, admitted to faking it over at CBM.

[protocida]

Not that I don't believe in you, but I've heard that here countless time and never actually seen the post. And I've looked for it. Where did he do so, exactly?

[Polux]

It just hit me...

Every since I read that Avengers would be shooting in the Cinci. area I have been super psyched!!! Within a 30 mile radius of Cinci. no less. Guess where I live, in Hamilton, about 30 miles north of Cinci. I called and spoke to the lady thats the Executive Director of the Cinci./Northern KY Film commission today. She informed me that the shoot will take place NORTH of Cinci!!! Be still my heart!!! I asked about if they were gonna need extras and such, she said it wouldn't be until August, and she didn't know what kind of scenes they were, or if extras would be needed. She advised me to follow the local newscasts for info about casting extras, it would get out that way. Sooooo f*$#king psyched!!!!!!!! Theres a place about 3 miles from my house (old industrial park), that i've been looking at for years saying, ' boy, wouldn't that be a great location for a film shoot!' I hope they need extras of all ages so I can get me and my 4 yr. old involved. He would be soooo excited!

[Rowsdower!]

Seriously, you don't know K-Pen?

Unless you're referring to Kal Penn, then no.

I found out from a source on twitter.

[Silvermoth]

Ha, if the Avengers ever meet the President, they should call him President Pennington.

Oh actually seriously now, it should be President Lee. Or ditch the President cliche and go for the head of the UN or something. The Avengers in meant to be an international superhero team after all.

Awesome. :up:

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, I was really bummed out he wasn't in the Fright Night trailer that came out yesterday. I really wanted to check him out as that character

[The Infernal]

I thought Kevin Pennington had already been hired to play Doctor Strange?

Who?

I think you'll find that's Doctor Who.


Although I think Tennant would be great as Strange. Plus it would give me an excuse to joke about being typecast as doctors. :whatever:

[Wolvieboy17]

He's an amazing actor. I defy anyone to watch Tennant in End of Time part 1 and 2 and tell me he wouldn't be amazing.

[The Infernal]

Agreed, he is an amazing actor. I even watched the BBC showing of Hamlet (mind you it also had Patrick Stewart amongst others for an added bonus). I'll admit to not finding Shakespeare readily accessible and it went on for a really, really long time, but Tennant puts on a good performance.

[Dr Lee]

Tennant was amazing in the 'United' drama over easter

[The Infernal]

I missed that one, but I did see the adverts for it. It does seem that Tennant really gets into character and doesn't simply play a version of himself in different films like a lot of actors do. And by that I mean looks and personality.

[Dr Lee]

I'm a big fan of the bard and I loved that Hamlet. He is an amazingly transformative actor, but not even a character actor, he just seems to be able to bring a lot of unique emotional intensity and range to his characters. It's awesome because not only do you get to enjoy each of his characters as their own, living entity but then when you see him talking normally as himself he's still quite different from all his characters but just as awesome. Having him involved with ANY Marvel film would just be a huge, huge boost to the MCU. I could really probably see him in many roles (before Ruffalo was cast, I thought he'd be a good Banner too), but Dr Strange definitely fits to me. He can play brooding and disconnected really well, and there are a lot of similarities between Strange and The Doctor as far as their grand importance goes. I don't think Strange is quite as tragic and lonely a figure as The Doctor though, or as self loathing.

Btw, out of curiosity, does anyone know how Doctor Who has been received in America? That is a franchise that deserves to be so much bigger (although it's perfect the way it is now anyway).

[The Infernal]

I'm not against Shakespeare so much, but I can find it a bit hard to understand at times. But I do like watching Brannagh's films (I liked Much Ado), plus I really want to see that one with Brian Blessed where they've changed the setting to feudal Japan.

I agree with what you're saying about Tennant. I wasn't sure if he was a character actor though, that's something I associate more with largely comedic actors like Ronnie Barker (doubt much of his stuff made it abroad though). Plus I couldn't really tell what the exact definition of it was, but my guess was that he wasn't quite doing that. Still he's definitely one I keep an eye out for if he's in movies.

Though funnily enough I've not seen Macbeth, but I've seen Akira Kurosawa's version of it 'Throne of Blood'.

As far as I can tell it has a cult following much like Firefly, Warehouse 13, etc. I know 2 people who watch it regularly. Its still mainly a "cult" thing though.

Its a good show though, I agree.

That's was awesome, damn I can't wait for SDCC.

[Mr. Earle]

He's an amazing actor. I defy anyone to watch Tennant in End of Time part 1 and 2 and tell me he wouldn't be amazing.
How can he be an amazing actor when his face is constantly stuck in this expression: :wow:
His eyes are always popping out and his eyebrows are always raised.

[Wolvieboy17]

You mean thats what he always looks like in the promo pics for Doctor Who? Or when he's in a jolly mood? Because otherwise, you clearly don't know him that well.

[Mr. Earle]

Well i've only seen him on Dr Who and he's always like that. Like "OMFG is that Cthulthu?"

[Wolvieboy17]

Well again, you obviously haven't watched all that much of it because he was probably one of the most grim and human doctor of recent. He would switch so quickly between sombre or viciousness. Incredibly dynamic. Thats why I referenced End of Time 1 and 2. No smiles there.

Also, I think everything else i've ever seen him in has been quite serious and dramatic too

[Mr. Earle]

I've seen a few episodes and i'm guessing that he has that eye condition or something. I mean i doubt he's expressing himself like that on purpose. So that doesnt mean that his Doctor is bad, just that his eyes are distracting me.

Sorry Wolvie.

[Wolvieboy17]

That's okay. It's just pretty easy to be judgemental and dismissive of something at a glance. I notice you have a Robin avatar..... He's pretty...cool

[Mr. Earle]

What do you mean? Are you being sarcastic? I cant tell.

I love your avy btw. One of the funniest parts of the movie!

[Wolvieboy17]

Merely pointing out that from my perspective, having only read a couple of Batman comics, Robin looks like the lamest character ever. I KNOW that he's probably got a lot of depth as a character who's been around lot, but as an outsider it's easier to be dismissive than actually read any comics to understand him better.

[Mr. Earle]

But i'm only judging his eyes. I just said that his eyes pop out for 80% of each episode of Doctor who and that's more of a fact than an opinion. Its like he's always going "WTF is this?"

[The Morningstar]

He does love his eye brow movements.

[Quasimod0]

Mr. Earle is right. lol

This is great! - I've never seen a scoop-on-a-forum-embargo before :)

[TheVileOne]

Good news with Thor doing extremely well in its second weekend so the momentum is definitely sticking.

Meanwhile I still have no idea what the heck DC Ent. is doing.

[Brian Braddock]

Tennant, of course, would make an excellent Strange [as has been said many times on here]. Interesting point of fact is that when Tomothy Dalton played Dr.Who's enemy 'as Rassilon', Dalton wore a cloak that looked very, very similiar to that worn by Strange.

No, the embargo is putted not only on the scoop, but on some movie details, such as movie stills, interviews, pre-vis stuff & such, since you're working with Disney & other distributors in general and they don't tolerate leaked things or some classified information, until they set the proper date, on when the info goes online.

[TheVileOne]

Chris Nolan is shooting Batman. While DC Ent. seems to be chasing their tail.

Also rebooting Superman . . . AGAIN.

[HighFivingMF]

Meanwhile I still have no idea what the heck DC Ent. is doing.

Working on Green Lantern sequels and The Flash. Developing Aquaman. Who knows what else? We only know Aquaman because the actor who played him on Smallville let it slip. Just because they aren't like Feige saying "Yep. Next is Avengers. Then we're doing Ant-Man. We also have people working on this, this, and this." doesn't mean they're doing nothing. I don't see why you'd assume they're doing nothing when they already had Green Lantern into production about a year after forming, which is a task that never managed to pan out before then.

Not to turn the topic to DC. Just something I wanted to get out there.

[TheVileOne]

Aquaman . . . feh.

Ill be honest, David Tennant looks NOTHING like anyone I would cast as Dr. Strange.

[Wolvieboy17]

Ha ha, oh yeah. Someone needs to photo shop heads lol

[Wolvieboy17]

I think Tennant also has that kinda long face and gangly body that I always pictured Strange to have

[Spideyfan93]

Aquaman could be awesome, but it could just as easily be extremely corny and terrible.

Warner Bros has to find a balance for Aquaman like Marvel did for Thor.

[Alientraveller]

I like Aquaman more than Namor, but two brash long-haired, bearded blonde, badass royals from fantasy kingdoms must be too much for audiences to handle at the moment. We're going to enter a point where there'll be a bit of a film arms race between DC and Marvel, Green Lantern will put off Nova (not that I care about Nova, because I've never had any real exposure to him), and Doctor Strange would put off Fate (I gotta admit Fate has a cooler costume).

So yeah, off-topic, but that's what happens when we won't have much more to discuss until July with Cap in cinemas and SDCC.

[HighFivingMF]

To make up for starting an Aquaman discussion on accident:

"FYI: Just heard we'll definitely be getting the first Avengers movie teaser and official synopsis at this year's Comic Con"

[RealIrOnMaN]

+ the rumored teaser-trailer with Loki using the Cosmic Cube & summoning the Skrulls (that Latinoreview guys have mentioned long time ago) should be attached to Captain America's release.

[Chewy]

Wasn't it already the Thor post-credits scene? That's the scene AICN was describing involving Loki and the cosmic cube.

[protocida]

DC Entertainment is doing The Man of Steel, the Dark Knight Rises, Wonder-Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern 2, Green Lantern 3 and Justice League of America.

It's quite a lot.

[Jerkofwonder]

About the Aquaman movie, isn't Appian Way producing it? Does that pretty much guarantee quality? Anyone think Dicaprio would play Aquaman? It is his production company.

[Spideyfan93]

They should get James Cameron and Vincent Chase to star.

[protocida]

I don't think Leonardo DiCaprio would play Aquaman, but he could play Arthur Curry or another minor role.

I don't think that Loki and cube teaser for Avengers is true. It was already pretty much the post credit scene in Thor. Except the Skrulls.

@littleylittley: Total Loki, yes.

[Wolvieboy17]

He's taking the photo, duh

[Alientraveller]

That's their reaction shot when he returns to the bridge after having been proved emotionally compromised.

I'd be curious as to what the first photo could be. If it's from an action scene then it might be hard picking for Marvel to locate an ensemble shot (perhaps a reaction shot of all of them like that Trek photo). If it's from a dramatic scene then I don't expect everyone to wear their costume, and the Hulk's CGI is months from completion.

[Dr Lee]

Honestly? Just get a wall, have each actor stand by it in costume (as a group or individually and photoshopped in after) and that would be more than enough for 99% of the fans IMHO

[Dark Raven]

Honestly? Just get a wall, have each actor stand by it in costume (as a group or individually and photoshopped in after) and that would be more than enough for 99% of the fans IMHO

Not individually and photoshopped. That would end up looking like the crappy X-Men First Class poster. They can just have a group publicity shot (I'm sure they'll have many) in costume. It doesn't have to be a still. It's not like they don't already have their costumes ready. It can be their existing ones, and not necessarily any new costumes they may have for the upcoming movie. We would still get the gist of it and it would look awesome with all of them together. Also, it doesn't necessarily need to have Ruffalo as Hulk in the picture. He can just be Banner. That would still be fine.

[herolee10]

So Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, and JL are being made? News to me

Well unlike Marvel Studios, in regards to the JL film, there's no intentions on using any of the actors who have/will play central JL members (Superman/Batman/Green Lantern) into that film, so it'll make that it much more harder for the GA to perhaps understand that the characters in the JL aren't related to the same characters (in name) from other films, let alone the fact that there's no build up to the JL film.

Definately BT; I can [to some degree - although I dont like it] understand Nolan's view that Batman should be separate from Superman as he doesnt want to compromise the psuedo-realistic world he's created with 'space/alien stuff' but keeping Green Lantern separate from Supes?

Not exactly a case of chalk and cheese, is it - how the hell is it any anyones interest to keep those two properties apart?
