JLA Snags A-List Producer; Shooting in Aus!?

[NateGray]

One of the main problems I could see if they had chosen to use Bale in the JLA movie is that Nolan's Batman is not JLA Batman in any way shape or form and as far as I can see Nolan is keeping his Batman as far away from a JLA Batman as possible.
So really they are whether people want to admit it two completely different Batman so whats the big deal with using different actors?
I mean if you have to explain why he is not at all like the Batman from BB whats so hard about adding in thats why they used a different actor.
So again Nolan's Batman is never going to be anything like JLA Batman and as for the hype about TDK I would say its mixed as many people I talk to have similar fears about TDK as me and the completely different Joker we are getting who is no previous incarnation of the Joker from any source that I know of.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

True..

 

[hippie_hunter]

This is ridiculous... The Justice League of America could possibly get a movie sometime soon, who WE ALL ARE FANS OF, and yet there are people complain about how bad it will be? Before a lick of thing has even be confirmed about?

Well, we are basing our complaints on things that have been rumored and most likely to happen.

Right now there is no Martian Manhunter in the script. That is horrible.

Right now the villains are Maxwell Lord, the OMACs, and Talia. A horrible choice of villains when you have Darkseid and the New Gods of Apokolips, the White Martians, the Crime Syndicate, the Legion of Doom/Injustice Gang/Injustice League/Secret Society of Supervillains, the Appelaxians, Despero, Starro, etc.

Apparently Barry Allen is mischaracterized and acts more like Wally West and then they kill him off. If he acts like Wally West, they should just put Wally West in and not kill the Flash.

John Stewart is just being put in for diversity and the "urban" demographic. The wrong reasons to use the character. Also Hal > John.

I love Bale. But having another Batman in a different movie, is not a problem. You already had two Supermen in the media,(well don't know if Routh is anymore) and it wasn't a problem then.

It's very easy to differentiate a movie and a damn TV show. Movies will be harder. Let's just hope that Warner Bros puts in enough so that it is easy to tell the difference between the two instead of it might be the same Batman.

Yes, the WB can wait and hopefully get Bale to do a team up. Do you know why he is so willing? Because of the ridiculous amounts of money he would get if he did signed to do such thing. Thats the reason why the WB is getting another Batman for this movie. Thats the reason they are not waiting to do this movie later. Why the 3rd Batman movie, would be Bales last as Bruce Wayne...

But you do realise that fans would be much more excited to see Bale team up with Routh and whomever plays Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, and Green Lantern.

GL is in this movie. Dont care which one it is. Hal, John, Kyle, Guy. As long as one is in, that is the point!

John and Guy should never be put into a Justice League movie or lead a Green Lantern movie. Hal or Kyle.

And the Villians... I see nothing wrong with the Omacs... You know why you won't get Darkseid or the White Martians in this movie? Cause I can see them saving it for the 2nd and 3rd installments, after the 1st one makes more than the Spiderman movie! Yes I said it!

I really doubt any movie will make Spider-Man numbers after seeing Superman Returns' box office intake. Right now, I think Avengers is the only movie that can. The only way I can see that Justice League can do the same is if they do solo movies for Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, and Aquaman and then team them up, builds hype a lot better.

According to Robert Sanchez, Warner Bros wanted Bale, but he turned them down for the reasons he later stated, Justice League should be done after Batman 3. Bale turning them down is supposedly the reason why they decided not to offer Routh the chance to play Superman in the film.

That's why I doubt they will really differentiate the movie for Batman Begins/The Dark Knight and Superman Returns.

Ummmm...you make no sense.....

The OMACS are the stupidest villains of all to pick for this movie.

Only if the OMACS are interested in Earth for real estate

Right now there is no Martian Manhunter in the script. That is horrible.

Oh I want him to be in this movie. Sure, Martian Manhunter may not in the script, but there is plenty of time to change it. Did it say anything about John Jones though?

Right now the villains are Maxwell Lord, the OMACs, and Talia. A horrible choice of villains when you have Darkseid and the New Gods of Apokolips, the White Martians, the Crime Syndicate, the Legion of Doom/Injustice Gang/Injustice League/Secret Society of Supervillains, the Appelaxians, Despero, Starro, etc.

When your introducing the 7 main characters in the DC Universe, there is not much time to focus on anything else. All of those Villians would be awesome, but there is simply no time to introduce something like the LoD when you first have to intro the JLA. Im guess thats why you go with the OMACs.

Apparently Barry Allen is mischaracterized and acts more like Wally West and then they kill him off. If he acts like Wally West, they should just put Wally West in and not kill the Flash.

Another problem that can easily be fixed. Heard that since this stuff was leaked they may change who will die in this movie....

John Stewart is just being put in for diversity and the "urban" demographic. The wrong reasons to use the character. Also Hal > John.

Times change. When you got 7 white folks saving the world, its not very appeal to people of other race. Picking John for diversity shouldn't be a problem. Hal/Jon won't see much screentime anyway, so its not a big deal. You rather Hal be in this movie, being played by a black actor?

It's very easy to differentiate a movie and a damn TV show. Movies will be harder. Let's just hope that Warner Bros puts in enough so that it is easy to tell the difference between the two instead of it might be the same Batman.

Bales Batman looks like he has a friggin armor suit on. For JLA you can just go with the traditional yellow bat logo, and more grey for the suit.

But you do realise that fans would be much more excited to see Bale team up with Routh and whomever plays Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, and Green Lantern.

Don't get me wrong. That is also my #1 choice. To have Bale and Routh in this movie. But its both or none. I want a MOS to happen, but the WB doesn't seem to. Bale will want mucho $$$$$, which the WB may not want to pay. We don't live in a perfect world....

John and Guy should never be put into a Justice League movie or lead a Green Lantern movie. Hal or Kyle.

Why is that? if John and Guy were ever in the JL, they have a right to be in there. As long as a Green Lantern is in this movie, that is all that matters.

I really doubt any movie will make Spider-Man numbers after seeing Superman Returns' box office intake. Right now, I think Avengers is the only movie that can. The only way I can see that Justice League can do the same is if they do solo movies for Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, and Aquaman and then team them up, builds hype a lot better.

[/QUOTE]

Avengers over the JL? I disagree. Avengers you don't have Marvel top guns, (Spiderman, Xmen, Fantastic Four). For JL you do. The reason Marvel are doing single movies first is because they have to. No one knows Ironman, Wasp, Giantman, Thor, etc. Thats not the case for the JL. I can see JL doing Spiderman numbers but it won't be easy. The people have seen Superman movies before, but nothing like the JL, nothing like this...

No Martian Manhunter. That can change though.

I'm not saying that they have to go with the OMACs and the New Gods or whatever. I'm just saying that there are a lot of villains out there in the JLA mythos that are better choices than Donald Trump Lite, a hot chick who's the daughter of an ecoterrorist, and the OMACs.

Another problem that can easily be fixed. Heard that since this stuff was leaked they may change who will die in this movie....

And just who are they gonna kill? Wonder Woman? Aquaman? Green Lantern? Thereby hurting spin-off potential. At least with the Flash, you still have Wally West.

I'd rather have a white Hal or Kyle. Those are the only two that should be in a Justice League movie. John and Guy are not iconic enough.

Bales Batman looks like he has a friggin armor suit on. For JLA you can just go with the traditional yellow bat logo, and more grey for the suit.

I agree that giving Batman the grey suit would do a lot to differentiate these continuities.

Don't get me wrong. That is also my #1 choice. To have Bale and Routh in this movie. But its both or none. I want a MOS to happen, but the WB doesn't seem to. Bale will want mucho $$$$$, which the WB may not want to pay. We don't live in a perfect world....

Actually most sources are saying that we will most likely get Batman 3, Man of Steel, and Justice League of America. Warner Bros wants to cater to as much of the audience as possible.

Why is that? if John and Guy were ever in the JL, they have a right to be in there. As long as a Green Lantern is in this movie, that is all that matters.

A Justice League movie needs an iconic Green Lantern and the only two that fit that criteria are Hal and Kyle. John and Guy are not iconic enough.

Avengers over the JL? I disagree. Avengers you don't have Marvel top guns, (Spiderman, Xmen, Fantastic Four). For JL you do. The reason Marvel are doing single movies first is because they have to. No one knows Ironman, Wasp, Giantman, Thor, etc. Thats not the case for the JL. I can see JL doing Spiderman numbers but it won't be easy. The people have seen Superman movies before, but nothing like the JL, nothing like this...

If Marvel builds it up the way they are now. With Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, etc. getting films before the Avengers and getting the public hyped and aware of those characters. It will be bigger than Justice League the way it is now.

The OMACS are the stupidest villains of all to pick for this movie.

OMAC

Not quite. OMAC is an acronym that has a lot of meaning and history in the DCU. Meaning One Man Army Corps, it was the former name of a Jack Kirby superhero with similar origins. Today the concept has been adapted to suit a conspiracy like orgainization, Checkmate (not unlike The Conspiracy in the X-files series). If you look at the powers of the current OMACs you will notice that they have the ability to mimic the powers of most of the metahumas in their database, making them more of a challenge than Amazo (who is an original JLA villian of the Silver Age who has just the powers of the original 7 Justice League members). They also have the ability to morph their extremities into weapons and such (not ulike a T-2000, from the Terminator films).

smart man, i think the omac story is fine, because it actually allows batman to have a reason to appear in the JL.

The OMACs are cool, but there are just simply more better choices for Justice League than these guys.

 

[CConn]

Yes, like Maxwell Lord...who's also in the film.

I think it's pretty obvious why they chose the OMAC storyline; it allows for a ton of action and great fight scenes, it features a good deal of drama (with Lord), and it's not as totally far out as someone like Darkseid or another totally alien threat would be.

Plus as ThunderEmperor mentioned, it really connects to Batman much more than most other JLA villains would.

 

[dnno1]

There's a difference between a TV show and a movie. A lot of people still think that Batman Begins is a prequel. I had to constantly dispell that notion from my mother's head when she was watching the movie and now she's just simply confused that they're two different Batman movie universes...

This doesn't mean that people don't recognize that there are two differnet people playing Superman (or Batman). For that matter, there are lots of people who recognize that there were many people who played the role. I do not understand what point you are trying to make here. For the few who don't understand that all it takes is a little explaining (like you did with youre mother) and should not be a major impasse to persuing or making a film.

 

[dnno1]

The OMACs are cool, but there are just simply more better choices for Justice League than these guys.

Name some. I just described a nemisis that is a combination of the Pod People (from Invasion of the Body Snatchers), the T-2000 from the Terminator films, and somthing several degrees better than (the comic book version of) Amazo.

 

[KBX]

And just who are they gonna kill? Wonder Woman? Aquaman? Green Lantern? Thereby hurting spin-off potential. At least with the Flash, you still have Wally West.

Youve got many Green Lanterns and Flashs. So if someone "dies" in this movie, they will just be replaced. So would you have a problem if Hal started the movie, but died, and John took over the role?

I'd rather have a white Hal or Kyle. Those are the only two that should be in a Justice League movie. John and Guy are not iconic enough.

Iconic enough. We have enough of those superheroes. There going the JLU animated route, thus using Wally and John.

Actually most sources are saying that we will most likely get Batman 3, Man of Steel, and Justice League of America. Warner Bros wants to cater to as much of the audience as possible.

Than thats fantastic. The more movies I get from DC the better.

If Marvel builds it up the way they are now. With Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, etc. getting films before the Avengers and getting the public hyped and aware of those characters. It will be bigger than Justice League the way it is now.

As I said, Marvel has no choice but to do this route. DC doesn't. People know who the justice league is. Not many know about the Avengers. Look at it this way, if Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk are a huge success, it will most likely get a 2nd movie. Same thing with Thor. So Marvel is willing to scrap all sequels just for 1 movie? Unlikely. And if they do do an Avengers there is still a good possibility that it wont be Downey and Norton in the movie....

Darkseid

White Martians

Despero

Legion of Doom/Injustice Gang/Secret Society of Supervillains/Injustice League

Amazo, yes, Amazo is better than the OMACs. Even though his design really, really sucks. He can take all the powers of the Justice League combined for crying out loud!

Starro, a cheesy villain, but a pure classic considering the League was originally founded over the threat.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Iconic enough. We have enough of those superheroes. There going the JLU animated route, thus using Wally and John.

But Wally isn't in the script. Barry is.

Than thats fantastic. The more movies I get from DC the better.

I'd still rather see Justice League of America be a sequel to Batman 3, Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Aquaman. That way I get even more DC movies and Justice League will feel like the epic that it needs to be. Remember, the Justice League isn't the freaking X-Men.

As I said, Marvel has no choice but to do this route. DC doesn't. People know who the justice league is. Not many know about the Avengers.

Unlikely. And if they do do an Avengers there is still a good possibility that it wont be Downey and Norton in the movie....

You have a good point there. And I do think that we will see sequels to at least Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor before the Avengers movie. They'll probably make the sequels to their "Big Three" alongside the lesser knowns such as Nick Fury, Hawkeye, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Black Panther, etc.

Also Downey will most likely be in Avengers. He's signed for three. And I do think that Avengers will be better in quality that Justice League at the time being.

 

[Dark Knight]

The OMACS are the stupidest villains of all to pick for this movie.

Yep....especially when you can have Darkseid...

 

[KBX]

Yep....especially when you can have Darkseid...

Well I think the WB wants this first JL movie to be realistic as possible. Thus having no Martian Manhunter in it. With no Darkseid or White Martian just yet, and chose villians which two of the three are human and the OMACs being created by batman....

 

[KBX]

If Hal dies, he better be replaced by Kyle. Not John.

But Wally isn't in the script. Barry is.

This movie is more based on this modern era. I mean thats what I heard, with them going the same way the animated JLU went. John and Wally... Why aren't you just happy that a GL is in this movie? Its a JL movie where we are already getting the heavy hitters. You rather have John Stewart or no GL at all?

I'd still rather see Justice League of America be a sequel to Batman 3, Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Aquaman. That way I get even more DC movies and Justice League will feel like the epic that it needs to be. Remember, the Justice League isn't the freaking X-Men.

Same thing with the Avengers. If those movies are any what of an success, they will make sequels to those movies... It is much easier to make a JL movies first and have solo movies after, than vice-versa....

You have a good point there. And I do think that we will see sequels to at least Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor before the Avengers movie. They'll probably make the sequels to their "Big Three" alongside the lesser knowns such as Nick Fury, Hawkeye, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Black Panther, etc.

Yep, but I haven't heard much about a Captain America movie.... I guess they could go as him as the main lead in the Avengers...

Also Downey will most likely be in Avengers. He's signed for three. And I do think that Avengers will be better in quality that Justice League at the time being.

[/QUOTE]

Signed for 3 movies huh? Way too soon to know which quality would be better... way to soon...

 

[dnno1]

Darkseid

This would be the only good villian out of this list. Unfortunately he would be better suited and the primary antagonist in a "Forth World" film franchise (should it ever happen, which I think should). I fear that his filming rights could be tied up in a JLA franchise and would never let the "Forth World" story be properly told.

White Martians

Outside of comic book fans, DC's White Martians are relatively unknown to the general public. Now there are some Edgar Rice Burroughs fans out there who know about White Martians but those are not the same characters. I could see a big confrontation between Burroghs fans and comicbook fans over how they are portrayed. Anyway I think we should leave race out of this.

Despero

Another unknown to the mainstream viewers. Chalk that one up to his absence in the Super Friends series, although he did make an appearance in the Justice League Animated skien.

Legion of Doom/Injustice Gang/Secret Society of Supervillains/Injustice League

This might work, although I don't know how they would work out the use of Lex Luthor in both the Justice League and the Superman franchises. I am sure that the Legion of Doom could make an appearance in a future film if this one is a hit.

Amazo, yes, Amazo is better than the OMACs. Even though his design really, really sucks. He can take all the powers of the Justice League combined for crying out loud!

Starro, a cheesy villain, but a pure classic considering the League was originally founded over the threat.

Well, you said it. The character did make an apperance in "Batman Beyond" and in "Justice League Unlimited" though.

 

[declan]

Yep....especially when you can have Darkseid...

I agree and I think Darkseid will be in the movie, but I do agree with dnno1. I think the Omac's will be a plot device to introduce the characters and not much more.

As dnno1 pointed out the OMAC history doesn't require Maxwell Lord or even Bats "current" history with their origin.

I'm astounded people don't have a more open mind about this movie.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Well I think the WB wants this first JL movie to be realistic as possible. Thus having no Martian Manhunter in it. With no Darkseid or White Martian just yet, and chose villians which two of the three are human and the OMACs being created by batman....

Except Batman did not create the OMACs in the comics. Checkmate did. And considering that the Justice League already has an alien, on top with a space cop who's bosses are little blue men, an Amazonian princess, and an Atlantean king, there is no reason to exclude a Martian.
