Default World's Finest or JL

I personally think it would be better to just do a live action world's finest movie. I'm more interested in seeing Batman and Superman team up without the additional JL members. Maybe they can be in a sequel after their respective franchises have been built up but for the first film would be nice if it's just the big 2.

The problem with JLA is that there is such a disparity between the big two that the other cast of characters seem like dead weight. You don't want audiences to get that cartoon vibe of a watered down product, because then you kill your viewership falling into that general audience category with mild interest in comic book movies at best. The second tier characters need exposure.

I say stop delaying and get the WW film done, if to get the horny teen fanboys hooked than anything else. Flash will struggle in the same vain as Ant-Man. Just not a translatable power on the big screen. Green Lantern, go with John Stewart and forget the Renolds movie.

The Reynolds movie can be canon. They can say that after Hal more humans started getting picked as Green Lanterns & then bring in Stewart

This all the way. Absolutely go with John Stewart. Create a team that is diverse, such as it was in the animated series. Most of all, create a thought-provoking, dramatic story with unexpected stakes. The Avengers were a team endorsed by SHIELD, a secret agency. The Justice League can be a team opposed by a secret organization - Project Cadmus. There's your contrast for a fresh cinematic story.

Personally I think Trinity makes the most sense. I agree with AvengeME that after Batman and Superman no one really cares about the remaining characters. A World's Finest film would be amazing but pushing Wonder Woman with a Trinity film would be a great route for them as well.

I think a trinity film would be the smartest thing, and when it's done well then they can spawn off into the league. The trinity is well established and would let them focus enough on each without having to scramble around.

At the end of the day, I don't think either or makes the difference as long as the director has a vision of how they will all the characters will interact, co-exist, and be crucial to the story.

I personally dont know how you would balance a JL movie, personally I don't want to see the same formula as Avengers, which was "basic" in my eyes. "Here's the bad guy, lets get a team together, and lets take down said bad guy from destroying the world."

I expect more of a "crisis on two earths" (not to that extreme though.) or tower of babel, or even kingdom come.

Something that really makes you question and ponder the ideas about who the villains are.

2nded... I liked the Avengers because of the team up and action but it was kind of a dumbed down movie.

I'm hoping that DC/WB makes WF and that leads into JL. Alein invasion is kind weak. I would love to see the threat in WF be Lex as president and him using LexCorp to make weapons of mass destruction... Metallo's. The last Metallo left being the actual Metallo. Then upping the ante in JL and making giant weapons of mass destruction that get rerouted by Brainiac.

The JL fighting giant robots... I would go crazy if I saw that.

I think that they could be different from Avengers if they started with a World's FInest, then made a Trinity movie and ended the trilogy with a full Justice League film.

Never cared for World's Finest, so bring on the Justice League.

I get that, what I meant was that "World's Finest" is more appealing of a title than "Trinity"

World's Finest would be the best place to start, if you want to go fast track to JLA. In a perfect world, they'd have both a rebooted Superman *and* Batman before it, but that's not going to happen.

I'm questioning whether you've ever read a JLA comic.

Doing a World's Finest before Justice League would be good. It'd be different from all the connections they had with The Avengers.

WF's should lead into a JL movie.

My ideal choice is Justice League, but a movie with just Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman sounds already epic to me.

So maybe WB should do a movie with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman first. Then for the sequel, include Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter.

I am tired of Bats/Supes, give me something with more heroes so I can take my eyes off of those two.
