Official Justice League Status Update Thread

Yeah. Why?

 

[jmc]

Because it's a ridiculous costume that doesn't translate well in real life.

 

[I Am The Knight]

I agree on that. Put that woman in a skirt for instance.

Superman's costuma should be identical to the comic book version:

Batman's costume should be identical to the "Arkham Asylum" game blackned version.

Wonder-Woman's costume should be equal to the "Kingdom Come" version, with some modifications.

Flash's costume should be identical to the TV series.

Green Lantern's costume should be identical to the version usede by the Green alien behind Hal Jordan on page 7 of "Green Lantern #21".

Aquaman's costume should be a fused version of the classic and the modern versions.

Martian Manhunter's costume should be identical to the new one, substituind the blue for the black.

I really do no think it's any more ridiculous than Superman's. Just because we haven't seen a good live-action recreation of the WW suit, doesn't mean it's not feasible.

Ditto!

True, but from a design perspective it I find it hard to imagine it looking anything close to credible, I've had the same problem with evey live action Superman suit to date.

 

[Crook]

It just lacks the proper bottom-wear. You add a battle skirt, and you've improved the design tenfold already.

But men in tights with underwear on the outside and capes translate well into "real life".

Where did I say they did? Of coarse they look stupid.

 

[Anita18]

I think the "wearing underwear on the outside" bit is mostly to prevent them looking like they're wearing onesies. Green Lantern's costume there (with the mid-thigh bottom) doesn't look all that bad translated to real-life.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Um, not really...Although some people are into that.

Capes obviously work.

Make the costumes like this

And the trailer like this:

You know, Wonder Woman kind of looks like Lynda Carter in that trailer.

 

[Webhead2006]

If we ever do get to a live action jl film from wb within the next few yrs i hope next time around they find the best suited cast, good director, and have the epic grand vision for the film. Also need to get the costumes just right and dont take to many libertities with them. There is tons of materials out there that can make all their costumes look great in live action.

 

[BATZARRO WWD]

I don't think Wonder Woman's suit shouldn't be a problem in skilled hands. In JLM's case, it was WETA, so there's that. But really, the fact that we can't imagine a well done Wonderwoman suit, or a great redesigns(as seen in the better sone Batfilms since 89) that still does the original justice doesn't mean someone with more imagination can't pull it off.

 

[dnno1]

Pretty wicked!

 

[TheVileOne]

^ Don't take this the wrong way mate, but is searching for JL stories all you do?

Yes it is.

 

[batman strikes]

I remember back when Justice League: Mortal was in production someone on the hype claimed to have seen designs of the costumes that WETA did. I don't if it was true or not but supposedly Wonder Woman costume was pretty much the same except it had a battle skirt, Batman had a gray and black costume, Superman was pretty much his classic design, same with Flash and Green Lantern. Martian Manhunter's Martian form was out of New Frontier and Aquaman's costume was more like the one he wears in sword of Atlantis. Does anyone remember this? Again I have no idea if this was true or not but it sounded really cool.

 

[Webhead2006]

i think so, even though jl mortal probably would have been a crappy film if it indeed happened with miller and his lousy looking cast, i would love if weta would release the unused jl costume designs so we could atless see were they were going suit wise for the characters.

 

[batman strikes]

Yeah, I really believe that best thing that came out of this project was WETA doing the costumes and the script. At the least the one that started with the Flashes funeral and then jumping back to explain how the events unfolded. Hopefully the WETA costume designs and the script will be released soon.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea weta and the original script sounded great. But then miller came in and the script got rewrite after rewrite which from sources who had hands on script said sucked and the first one was better. Then miller's lousy cast for the most part.

Sources?
Patrick Sauriol said good thing of the first pages of the script, the onew he reviewed. The only "source" who said bad things about the script was the supposed WB insider of SaveSuperman.

What's worse, them sources pointed at nothing in specific. I mean, it's like a movie review that says "This movie sucks. Just because. No reason, it just does." So in ends up with trusting a guy you don't even know who it is, about a product you can't verify for yourself. Even if the sources say good things, there's only one source I trust to tell me wether I personally like something: me.

Now, don't get me wrong, internet script-reviews are a good source of entertainment. But they are as subjective as regular reviews.

 

[batman strikes]

Like I said I don't believe the script was the problem. It was everything else, like having two different Batman's on screen when the audience and fans are happen with the way Nolan and Bale are handling the franchise. Not to mention most of the cast were juvenile compared to what were getting with the current Marvel and Batman movies. I never minded that the JLA movie was going to take place in a different universe from the Batman and Superman movies. I just wanted it after Christian Bale's Batman movies were done.

 

[Evil Twin]

Reviews without analysis are worthless. At that point, all they come down to is "Trust me." Considering we all have biases and blind spots, it's hard to make that leap for anything.
