Justice League: News and Speculation - Part 1 - Page 2

Jake Cassidy · 01-04-2013, 12:20 AM

I think it's safe to assume that Superman, Batman, WW, a Flash and a GL are going to be in it.

aNarcHy2day · 01-04-2013, 02:11 AM

^^ I really really want ONLY them to be in the first movie!

The final 7 members of the JUSTICE LEAGUE members are not locked down yet. They're tinkering with possibilities during rewrites (cont) RT

Let's say for sake of conversation AQUAMAN was in the first draft. In the rewrite WB CE mentions, "Gee, hey let's try HAWKMAN instead."

Then the CE mentions, "Hal Jordan didn't work out for us a couple of summers ago, can we perhaps try John Stewart instead?"

Quote:

So then they get 7 & go out to directors, then director has his notes & maybe a member or two he wants to see in the next rewrite.

What's true today might not be in next draft tomorrow, hence why that story yesterday was BS. Had they locked down the 7 I would been on it.

Dudes, I'm not saying that John Stewart is your Green Lantern, was merely making a comedic Creative Exec comment.

But considering the success of Django, I'm sure some CE read the THR article & will bring up John Stewart in the next notes meeting.

So, Creative Execs are giving inputs now, it's Green Lantern all over again, too much interference from the studios.

jmc · 01-04-2013, 04:29 AM

Business as usual it would seem at the WB offices.

Jake Cassidy · 01-04-2013, 04:31 AM

That's if any of that is actually true.

I think he means they will leave it to the director to decide what is gonna be the final roster for the League, but as of right now, the only person who has any kind of say is a CE.

"Please call me Bruce"

Bruce can then be shown to have in his home a memento style wall with him revealed to have been following the recent uprising of heroes, and believes he has deciphered their identities. But is reluctant to return to active duty until Blakeman is injured.

I love that but i feel that the whole situation with Bruce coming back will spoil the magnificent ending that we got in TDKR, that moment in the cafe was the best ending to a set of characters that you can possibly ask for, Bruce has retired, everyone is happy, he "made it". bringing him back will spoil it and it will dissapoint Alfred, remember, he left because Bruce was too little too late for Bane, a human, now the villain is Darkseid.

Rowsdower! · 01-04-2013, 09:24 AM

I'd be all for Bale returning, if he wants to do it. I don't think he does, but yeah, I agree it would be easy to pull off if it's set after TDKR. The only problem there is that Bruce Wayne is also believed to be dead and it might be difficult to continue the story of Batman with him using a new identity and all that. Not impossible, though.

Llama_Shepherd · 01-04-2013, 09:50 AM

To be fair it's ridiculous he wouldn't get recognised anyway.

Rowsdower! · 01-04-2013, 09:56 AM

Heh, yeah. Even though Bruce became a recluse, he still was a well-known billionaire. Someone would recognize him, but hey, it's the movies.

HighFivingMF · 01-04-2013, 10:20 AM

I'm sure Bruce would just say "I get that all the time."

Every movie has studio input. They pay for the things. The fact they're switching around members is odd. But I'm sure they know there will be Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and some form of Batman and Green Lantern. The other two they're just probably toying around with to see who they could get another movie or something out of. But ya never know.

kvz5 · 01-04-2013, 11:52 AM

They would need to address Selina too if they bring back Nolan's Bruce Wayne. Not that it's hard to do anyway. Regardless, if the rumors that WB is pursuing JGL is true then that to me means that Bale returning is already not an option since I would think that they would most likely ask him first.

aNarcHy2day · 01-04-2013, 11:57 AM

^^ Unlikelier things have happened! Sure WB will eventually hire a guy who actually has brains!

I would love Bruce's first scene to be Bruce and Selina watching some disaster on TV in their apartment. Bruce feels the need to find the one person he knows he needs to meet to do something about it. Across the other side of the world, Supes is thinking the same thing.

I'm not sure if he means the casting/director ideas or the story ideas... but either way, it's a bad sign.

Venom'sDad · 01-04-2013, 12:48 PM

Look, I cant see them doing Martian-Manhunter, certainly not Hawkman; however, I think Aquaman will make the cut. I think it will start off with six...and I'm basing my opinions on the Latino Review article some time ago. MM & HM may come in the sequel. I think the problem they are facing right now, solidly has to do with Bats & GL...what version and/or what character and cast. That's the hold up. I certainly believe they have an idea of what approach to take with the story...however, they seem to be unsure what Bats & GL would best fit.

ЯɘvlveR · 01-04-2013, 01:22 PM

sounds like a bunch of smart guys over thinking the crap out of it.

Steyin · 01-04-2013, 01:34 PM

I'm still banking on this getting delayed or not being made at all, again.

It would be for the best. Until they actually have a strong spearhead (Kevin Feige type) that can get everything in order and under a concise path that would benefit the DC movie world and not have it crumble under a flimsy attempt at making a quick buck then it would be best for this project to go back under deep slumber.

Iceman · 01-04-2013, 01:56 PM

Yeah, 1st time out needs to be a winner. This is what people will associate with the name JL and if 1st time fails, the success of a reboot will be limited no matter how right they get it. I'm stil hopeful though

This is worrying.....

Llama_Shepherd · 01-04-2013, 02:55 PM

That would likely be sarcasm. Literally no one would think that seriously. "That Captain America guy, he's from Spain right?"
