Ok theory on this possible "youth" driven JL cast...

[Webhead2006]

yea there is so many conflicting news coming out on this project. I just have no clue what to believe. I will wait to judge this project more fairly once we have a cast, set photos/videos, and trailers so we can see the real direction the film is going. I just really hope they are not going to gear the film to be totally for the kid/teen market. They can easily make a more serious mature film like bb or spiderman, etc..... and have the lighthearted moments in there too. And with all this young actors rumors for the film the ages are not an issue i have. If they cast young i know they want to do sequels and spin off for gl,ww,flash,aquaman i just dont want ot see these roles going for people who look like kids still we need to have someone who is more manly looking.

I'm pretty sure that list is just for WW and Flash, which actually makes sense. They've stated that Flash is the youngest and since WW is immortal it makes sense to get someone who is younger, so that she won't look much older in the sequels. I think that MM will be the oldest and Aquaman and Gl will be about mid 30's (Common). Superman and Batman could be late 20's/early 30's.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i was always thinking flash and ww would be youngest members and bats/supes older, mm the oldest and then gl and aquaman some where in the middle.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

The actor who plays Superman doesn't have to be the same age as the one for Batman. He ages slower, right? If so, even if he's the same age he would look younger.

 

[az824]

i guess so. technically wonder woman will be one of the oldest in the movie, just the actress will be one of the younger ones

 

[thorstone]

Wrong. I was referring to conflicting with a THIRD Batman film. I'm sure Batman is older and established by a third film. Having a younger JL Batman at that point won't conflict nearly as much.

If Batman appears in a JL film there is no third Batman (whether Bale is in JL or not)-- JL is a vote of no confidence in Nolan's vision. Warner is moving on before production even wraps on The Dark Knight.

 

[Webhead2006]

well we dont really know if a third nolan batfilm and MOS are canned or not totally for JLA film.

Nolan's film wont be canned.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea that is what i was saying we dont know what wb plans are for superman and batman solo films. I do hope jla doesnt can a 3rd nolan film cause i loved bb and cant wait to see how tdk is and all that. I would love ot see him get 3 films and then stop then end at 2. Since the rumors/plots of the film say things are left open for the 3rd film with two face and all that.

This movie desreves its own forum ....

Honestly, I am putting faith in an accomplished director over a group of whining, complaining fan boys.

George Miller is great for coming out with Mad Max and The Road Warrior.

But now that his attention is focused on Happy Feet, I don't think his direction is the best one. JLA will be a kids movie.

I don't think that'll happen. If anything, JLA won't be as succesful as The Dark Knight.

I loved Batman Begins but if the JL movie gets some good actors to be in it, it will be more successful than the Dark Knight. Money wise...

From the past casting rumors, I don't think actors such as Winestead and Adam Brody could ever be in the same league as Bale, Caine, Freedman, Oldman, etc, etc. Not until they grow up and get schooled some more at least.

 

[StorminNorman]

Honestly if George Miller wants a younger cast - lets look at this on the bright side.

It means he personally is interested in sequels. That shows a large amount of interest in the current product.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Brendan. So just because Miller did Happy Feet, JL is going to be a kids movie. That's very narrow-minded.

This JL movie doesn't need the great actors that Batman has, this movie will easily sell itself... easily...

Director of Happy Feet + Very very young cast + Super Friends script review = Why I think they are aiming for a kid audience.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

^ I agree with KBX. Superman and Batman in the same movie. Even if it's crap it's going to make a ****load of money.

Which is a shame cause you could really do so much more with a franchise like this. I mean, why settle for less?

Well no cast member has been announce and there is still a good chance that we can love these actors for a specific role.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Brendan. The Super-Friends script review was fake and, apparently, that list of young actors were only for WW and Flash. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Well that's good to know now but I still am a little on the edge about this movie.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Well, fanboys/girls are usually on edge about every damn comic book movie before they see it. So that's understandable. You know, George Miller is a very versatile and experienced director. Just because he made Happy Feet, doesn't mean he can't do an amazing JL movie.

 

[Brendan]

I'm actually not even a fan of JL. I hate superhero team ups like that in comic books. Still think there is great potential in a JLA movie. I don't doubt Miller is capable of making an amazing movie, but most franchise films like Transformers and F4 I'm never fully satisfied with.

My ideal of a perfect movie featuring both Batman and Superman would be the Frank Miller interpretation where the two hate eachother and can't agree on anything.
