Justice League Status Updates Thread - Part 1

[Micromind]

Yeah, Timm's JLU series is still the most viewed version of JL across the world, JLU actions figures could be found in almost any part of the world.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Justice League obviously won't earn as much as The Avengers, though I believe it can come close or even break the $1 billion mark if WB plays their cards right.

What do you mean obviously? JL has a strong chance of making just as much, if not more, than The Avengers.

 

[shauner111]

After MOS and the announcements of a Batman reboot (casting too), there's gonna be MASSIVE amounts of hype. Especially coming after Avengers + releasing around the same time as Avengers 2. It's gonna be huge. Like a rivalry.

I think ThePowerCosmic is right, it might be just as big or bigger.

Based on what? WB's awesome ( deadpan ) track record with all properties not Batman? Nolan's complete uninvolvement?

Because this movie would have Batman and more. You don't have to believe me now, that won't be possible anyway. I'll let the movie be enough proof, and that'll come in time. How anybody doubts the power of a JL movie compared to an Avengers movie is beyond me.

 

[MadVillainy]

yeah I think JL has a damn good chance of matching The Avengers. As PowerCosmic said, Batman alone would garner a lot of attention from the GA. And if MoS is a success (and they use Cavill) then Superman would be a draw to most people.

The only ways I can see JL having trouble matching the Avengers box office is if 1) JL is not as well received 2) if JL isnt in 3D, which I bet it will

EDIT: Honestly, and Ive seen this opinion around the net, I think that a World's Finest movie with just Batman and Superman would make as much as the Avengers potentially.

A JL movie could be great or it could be a debacle. Right now its completely hypothetical. Making declarative statements about a non-existent film that may or may not ever happen is just ridiculous.

And "Batman and more" (did you read this before you posted it?) isnt guaranteed to work any more than "Iron-Man and friends" was. In fact, it could very well have been a complete cluster-****.

Theres only one DC property that has been a legitimate success in the last 30 years, and the guy who made the most recent version of that property wants nothing to do with a JL movie. If MoS is anything less than a huge hit, it probably won't happen at all.

Bottom line: your predictions are, to say the least, premature. hell, even if you were giving your two cents on the eve of the JL premiere, they would be premature and baseless.

One more tip: Its not a competition. Don't be a ****** your whole life.

1) Arent all predictions about a JL film, or even a Fantastic Four reboot, or a Hulk sequel, or whatever premature. That's why their predictions or speculations.
2) It is a competition when you look at it. At least to the studios

Yes, I did read it before I post it. I still stand by that opinion, as a matter of fact. Every prediction we make about these upcoming movies are premature and baseless, because they haven't released yet(Did you even read that before you posted it?). That's why we speculate.

At the end of the day, it is a competition between studios as Blackman put it. For me, it's not a competition because I love both movie studios and comic companies enough to understand the BO potential that each side carries.

Not sure what you called me, but the profanity was unnecessary and immature. Expand your mind and your vocabulary, champ.

 

[Zionite1]

I want to see Vandal Savage as the main villain!! The Justice League vs. The Illuminati; that would capture my imaginations like no other. They could call it "The Light" as they do in Young Justice, but I personally think "Illuminati" is way more bad ass and scary.

I feel like that's as realistic as you can get with a JL movie. In a world where there's a single cabal of individuals who have been controlling the events of human history (Savage being the leader), it makes sense for a band of superheroes to join forces to stop him. There's something about the Justice League that just lends itself to conspiracy theories - I hope conspiracies become a big part of this film series.

I say save the alien invasion for the final film.

Like I said before this is agreat idea.You cld add Ras al ghul and Circe working with Vandal savage in the illuminati.Think of it as the council of immortals.As for the Plot itself we cld show the Illuminati manipulating the public to hate superheroes and declare war on them only to get them out of the way so that the Illuminati and their armies can take control.The JL movie will show hoe Superman gathered the GRETEAST SUPERHEROES ALIVE togetherto from the JL and stopped the Illuminati from ending the age of Superheroes.

Love this idea! Would you make the JSA (older generation of superheroes) a part of it, or would you treat this movie as if the JL members were the only superheroes that ever existed in that universe?...or would you make it a full-out DC Universe with a bunch of C-list superhero cameos as well?

Just curious because you mentioned the "ending of the age of Superheroes". That's a very interesting angle. If you have a world full of already established superheroes, the separate origins of the League members wouldn't matter.. the only important thing would be how the League itself was formed. In a world where superheroes are the norm, how they came to be wouldn't be all that necessary.

Id make a full out Dc universe with a bunch of C-list superheroes in it.I wouldnt put the JSA in it though.I imagine the JSA to be the superheroes in another universe but that is another story

Exactly.The Story of the Leagues world mostly be a story of how Superman gathers the greatest Superheroes to stop the age of Superheroes fom coming to an end and of course save the world.The story wld really be about the importance of heroes.

Personally though Id prefer if a Trinity movie was released before the league movie.The Trinity movie will be about how Superman,Batman,Wonderwoman met and set in course a series of evnts that brought about the Age of Superheroes,all in order to save the world from destruction.You cld say its a prequel to my JL idea.Howver quite frankly there is no reason why the Trinity movie has to be released before its just my preference.

WB/DC cld decide to go with this plan
2013-MOS
2014-Wonderwoman
2015-Justice League(5 hero line up)

Personally I prefer this plan
2013-MOS
2014-Wonderwoman
2015-Trinity(introduce Rebooted Batman)
2016-MOS 2 and Wonderwoman 2
2017-Flash and GL
2018-Justice League(7 hero lineup)

 

[Hush]

So the wachowskis, that's an interesting thought. They can sure do action and honestly they're damn good writers too.

 

[Paradox1]

They wouldn't be a bad choice at all. At least the action scenes would be insane.

Couldn't agree more. I think a Trinity film is a much better long-term strategy than JL, and it gives them a better point of difference from The Avengers. A lot of the general moviegoing public will look at JL as a bit of an Avengers clone by the time it comes out.

But I'd switch around Wonder Woman and Trinity. They've always struggled with Diana as a studio. Using Trinity to introduce her is a better strategy.

lulz. I've been wiki'ng their work. WB has distributed alot of their films.

WB, get it done muthu****ers.

let them over see the whole damn thing. they can write, direct the JL films, and they can oversee the rest of the universe.

 

[Zionite1]

delted

 

[CConn]

I'd be very satisfied with the Wachowski's.

From Speed Racer to V to this new thing they're worki on, they have a great track record.

Larry still creeps me out to no end, though. Not because he got a sex change, but why he got it. Ew.

 

[Hush]

He can get another sex change for all I care, if those two make a good JLA movie I'll be happy.

 

[CConn]

Where would they put the second vagina??

 

[TheWatcher]

Only on SHH!

 

[terry78]

Speed Racer, as much as we say it in these circles was insanely underrated back in '08. They took an iconic, yet ridiculously goofy property known for being kind of bad, and did it justice. Sex change, Matrix Revolutions.....they get the benefit of the doubt for what they accomplished with that movie.

 

[CConn]

Oh no, I love Speed Racer and V.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Well, it won't be any less talky than Nolan's Batfilms now. But it'll be good talky and not clunky talky. At least I hope so.

Got sick of his legs getting tired during the morning pee?
