Batman can fit in Justice League. If they have to do Justice League, start filming in about 6-7 years. Have other films take place:
Man of Steel
Green Lantern
SuperMax
The Flash
Batman 3
WonderWoman
Thing is, WB isn't Marvel. They don't have to do a JL movie or really much of anything superhero related. They can continue to profit from other types of movies, much like how they've been doing over these past umpteen years. This so-called WB/DC summit probably had less to do with how to make more superhero movies and more to do with how to maximize the profit potential on what few movies they do end up making. A lot of people against this movie were saying wait until the solo films have their run, then make the team up JLA movie. I and many other JLA fans who wanted this movie to be made now complained that if WB does end up following such a plan, their history points to a JLA movie 10-12 years down the road, if we ever see one at all.
Am I too pessimistic? By their own words, WB execs say that although they are having "discussions" about DC properties, nothing at this point has changed in the way they make these movies, and I personally don't think they will change, not as long as Robinov and Horn are in charge at WB. I really hope for a fundamental change in the way DC properties are turned into movies at WB. A semi-autonomous production house with DC at the controls but under WB's wing would be ideal, but I haven't seen or heard anything pointing to that ever happening anytime soon.
That's why I wanted it now. Best I can hope for now is that they won't follow the Marvel model and proceed to make a JLA movie right after Batman 3, no matter how many other solo movies have made their debut by that time (probably 1 at most).
