Justice League Status Updates Thread - Part 1

[Naked Shia]

Uhm what?
Come on. I hate Batman but even I loved Batman Begins and TDK. I watch both like more than twice.

How can you hate Batman?

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Oh that's right, I forgot box office equate to being ground braking. Dah.

We've been listening to the very same thing from TDK fans for four years now. Why does it count for one and not the other?

 

[sethypants]

How can you hate Batman?

Hate is too strong a word. I am indifferent towards him. Funny thing is I love all his supporting characters, but I don't really care much about him.

I've never cared for BO. I prefer Batman Begins over TDK. and I'm not the only one. I think TDK is an amazing movie regardless of its BO results.

That's more like it

 

[HighFivingMF]

Its likely going to be Barry Allen though.

That's Justice League. I'm talking about when Ryan Reynolds was going to be Flash. He would have been Wally.

 

[Dark Raven]

Wally West would be better to have for a movie. Having Barry Allen would make all the personalities too serious. We already have rather serious types in Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and I don't imagine Martian Manhunter cracking any jokes.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I honestly think this is the perfect line-up...

Maybe it's because I grew up on the cartoon but from season 2 onwards Justice League was phenomenal. Lots of diverse personalities and interesting dynamics.

Hal Jordan fits the non serious role. We dont need too many jokers in one team. Barry Allen also would make a better flash because he would be able to have his own movie without depending on anyone.
I'm almost 100% sure they're going with Hal and Barry.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

But the DCAU had weird amalgams for lots of their characters. Both Rayner and Stewart had personalities similar to Jordan. And Wally had a personality that was more reminiscent to Bart's, than his own.

I agree. Besides, The Avengers is a great superhero movie, but some people will never give it enough credit because apparently it isn't dark or deep enough for them. I hope TDKR will do well, but TA is extremely deserving of its enormous and record-breaking success.

 

[terry78]

Is Hal Jordan really that much of a jokester? He's more of the reckless type, which is why Batman doesn't care for him all that much. Wally is fun loving, but is more of the heart of the team. He doesn't just jump into **** like Hal does.

 

[sethypants]

I would say Hal is more of a fun loving character than Wally. Besides Barry is taking all the mainstream appearances of Flash and Wally isn't even in the comics right now. I doubt they would include wally in the movie when Barry is the lead Flash currently.

 

[protocida]

Both Barry and Hal are not that serious. They're not like Justice League Unlimited's Wally, but they crack wise from times to times and are fun loving people.

I actually find it astonishing how well Hal plays with pretty much all members of the Justice League. Although they've given more attention to him playing off against Batman, Flash and Green Arrow, he also has great interactions with Superman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman from times to times.

That's part of the reason I'd like him in the movie.

Avengers is a good movie, but it seemed to lean towards a "younger audience" at times in my opinion (and you mentioned that). But not only that, I'm sure TDKR will be awesome. I'm just a little disappointed that it's the end to the series.. Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, Mr. Penguin, The Riddler, all would've been great for DK movies.

You should've known by now that Chris Nolan simply won't allow certain villains in his Batman movies; villains that are too fantastical and not grounded enough to fit within his ultra-realistic setting. Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, and The Penguin are ones that would look out-of-place next to Christian Bale's Batman. The Riddler may not be, but then again they already had The Joker, so having Riddler would've seen like a rethread of an old villain.

I saw somewhere recently that Nolan was thinking of casting Leo DiCaprio as the Riddler. Don't know how serious that was.

WB wanted him to cast Leo as Riddler. Nolan and Goyer already knew they were going to use Bane.

hal is more like pine's kirk if anything imo not a jokester but charismatic and sarcastic that will be comedic at times

 

[Airwings]

JJ Abrams could be the guy to direct Justice League. He comes from television, (just like Joss Whedon, and look at the success that dude got with Avengers). Abrams has a sense for ensemble flics. Star Trek was really good. I'm sure WB would trust the guy.
But if we want a more heavy and dramatic touch, call the guy behind LOTR trilogy and King Kong.

Who the hell said the film was ground braking due to its box office?

 

[I Am The Knight]

It's box office was ground-breaking for a CBM back in the day, but the reason why it got that box office was because of the film itself, which was, well, fantastic.

 

[Tony Stark]

Oh that's right, I forgot box office equate to being ground braking. Dah.

No but Warner Brothers trying to copycat less than a month after release says it is.

JJ Abrams has an exclusive contract with Paramount. He will not direct Justice League.

Dude, WB has been trying to get JL off the ground for years and were willing to do it 4 years ago, so lets not make out that Avengers made them suddenly realized they had their own superhero team, ok?

I'm sorry, but I don't want Abrams anywhere near anything to do with Superman whatsoever...
