I'm not saying that they're going to do it because they need to keep up with Marvel or for competition. I'm saying now that WB realizes how successful a JL film would be because of The Avengers. Now they know that it would bring in MAJOR cash flow... possibly more than any other film they've ever released.
I mean seriously... The Avengers only had Iron Man, Captain America, and Hulk as far as the big name characters that everybody knows. I guarantee you a lot of people who have gone to see The Avengers have no idea who Thor, Black Widow, or the other guy are and look how successful it's been.
The fact is when you have a team of characters that just look that freakin' cool it's going to be succesful, even if a lot of the characters aren't that popular. People know who Bats, Supes, Wondy, GL, and Flash are so JL already has more for going for it.
Of course, considering the buckets of money Avengers made, WB's top guys are in the bunker trying to work this out.
At the end of the day, what's the in for the audience? Considering how successful he is now, it's really only Bale as Batman that's the in for the audience. But, he's done now.
WB is probably looking for someone to really hang their Justice League movie on and I'm willing to bet that Cavill's the guy...IF Man of Steel is a major hit.
If Green Lantern was a major hit, I think you would've heard something by now. If Man of Steel doesn't do what they want it to do, I think it's dead in the water...unless WB pony's up a ridiculous amount of cash to get Bale and Nolan back into the fold and make either a World's Finest movie or Justice League movie happen.
But, I don't even think that's going to do it.
It's my opinion that a Justice League/World's Finest is all on the shoulders of Cavill and Snyder.
