I don't like what WB is doing with JLA. I think it's way to soon for a JLA. I would like to see them build towards a JLA movie like Marvel/Disney did with Avengers. I think if they do JLA movie that it will be lost on non comic book fans and will end in epic failure.
I think that with out the build up and them establishing back stories on a lot of the JLA members that people may not know so well could hurt a JLA film. The very fact that they are going to go through with it long before they do another Batman film will also hurt the film. People may not accept a new actor as Batman in a JLA film. I think it is important they do a Batman film before they do a JLA movie. This way public has a chance to see a new actor step in and establish the role. This brings us to Superman: Man of Steel. I have high hopes for this one. However it could bomb in which case you can kiss any chance of a JLA movie doing well at all. It's entirely possible also that Superman can be really good and still bomb. While it's been several years sense Superman Returns the movie still lingers in back of peoples minds. So the public might not be ready to see another Superman movie. I think at the end of the day they are rushing through with JLA and that if they continue on this path that it will not be very good. However will have to wait and see maybe they will surprise use all. |

After next year, they'll be SOL... especially if MOS doesn't light up the box office this summer. They need to think ahead for 2015... especially since they don't have release dates staked out (unlike their competition). And they only have several movies scheduled for 2014 right now.

My point was that the reason we don't have a JLA movie now or haven't had one, is because there was always something that WB considered a better bet. Harry Potter, the Nolan Bat Trilogy, and The Hobbit. The fact that JLA is coming out right after The Hobbit ends proves my point, rather than diminishes it. |

Or if MOS does okay, WB will probably hedge their bets on JL and see if that renews interest in a MOS franchise.

Man Of Steel is not going to bomb. No way no how. Well depends on what bombing is. I think it does way better than begins lets put it that way

If it does Star Trek '09 sized business domestically, I can see WB making both JL and MOS 2 a big priority. Perhaps schedule JL for July 2015 and MOS 2 for July 2016?

Shailene will be Mary Jane-- Oh wait... That's already happening. Then I guess Aunt May will become Aunt Carnage.

It will not bomb
But it will not reach expectations either. Avengers beat them to the punch.....any other all star super team that will come after will be considered second rate or wannabe avengers to the non comic public. WB messed up....they have to wait 20 years for a super team which is not Avengers to be relevant again. |

Is it me or a lot of people assuming that making a better team-up movie than the Avengers isn't possible?
I think that it certainly is. Imagine if we had something as good as the Dark Knight with an equally great Superman story implemented. This would set the bar in my book. |

I get the argument of needed the right build-up/momentum. That's not something that we really know about since we don't know if it'll only be MoS as a launching point at that time. We also haven't seen a massive team-up like this without going the Avengers route. I wouldn't say that X-men or Watchmen had this much to live up to. This is the part that is the most debatable to me. |

At this point, I don't see how they can make a great JL movie by 2015. They want the release date to be 2015 yet they don't even have a script, director, or cast yet.
I have lost all hope for this movie. |

Only 3 films have opened above 90M for June and they were all sequels. The next 3 biggest openings for June were all Pixar films. That means the highest opening for a non-sequel, non Animated film, was Ang Lee's Hulk. Yep that's right. Right now, I'd say you're looking at a mid 50's opening, with the hope of being in the 60's. If it opens over 70, then the film is a hit, and to get that I think it has to have all 4 and 5 star reviews. Again it's really shocking to see WB bury this film in June, considering how badly Green Lantern and Superman Returns performed, and what success they've had from that final July weekend. Especially considering the budget is rumored at $225 million. IMO WB is setting themselves up for failure, especially considering how poor the marketing is for this movie.

Superman's going to do good to great money and get good to great reviews.
I'm going to go ahead and call that, that's just my prediction. Which means that they will, in my mind, definitely move forward with the Justice league movie. But it's not going to be pretty, I don't think. They've been planning a JL movie for years, yes, but them putting production into high gear once the Avengers received universal acclaim both critically and financially reeks of a cash grab. They're at a major disadvantage and with only one solo film released beforehand, I see almost no way they can pull off a big budget JL movie without it being sort of a dud in some way. |

I think it's important to point out that Batman Begins was one of the best film of the summer of 2005, but it labored to 200M. Now it only had a 150M budget so that helped. We will see what happens, but I've seen this with too many films. Like I said other than sequels or animated films, June openings don't do very well.
