The Dark Knight Rises (Post Your thoughts) Bat-spin off Justice League to be a CGI/Motion Capture Film!?

[EagleVision]

Looks like Batman may be getting a different kind of movie than we thought concerning the JLA Film. If I knew it was going this route, I may not have dismissed it so quickly. There's no reason Bale couldn't be the voice of Batman or Routh for Supes, even though it's been confirmed they're out. It wouldn't be a big deal, and I don't think it would hurt Bale's franchise w/ Nolan.

Justice League to be a CGI/Motion Capture Film!?
Source: IESB.net August 22, 2007


One of the most talked-about topics online these days is Warner Bros.' Justice League of America adaptation, which Happy Feet director George Miller is reportedly attached to.

Reports have said that the superhero team-up movie would include Batman, Superman, The Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and the Green Lantern, that casting would start next week, and that Christian Bale (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) and Brandon Routh (Superman, Superman: Man of Steel) would not be involved.

It didn't quite make sense how Warner Bros. would be able to pull it off, but perhaps now we know how they can. IESB.net says that the movie might be a CGI/performance capture project, much like The Polar Express, and the upcoming Beowulf and Avatar. Here's a bit of the scoop the site received:

However, and take this with a grain of salt, Imageworks are apparently in the running to provide services on the JLA film, competing with R&H and possibly WETA (the latter being unconfirmed).

But the real interesting thing about this is that the contract is for an all-cgi "photo-real" motion capture movie, much like the upcoming Beowulf.

If the reports hold up, expect Justice League of America to go into production early 2008.

Who should be the voice? Kevin Conroy? Will Friedle? Someone else....

its CGI, not animated,its probably gonna be like Beowulf, so you still need actors(jolie was in full CGI uniform for the movie, it wasnt just her voice)

right, I get that, I may wrote that wrong, but as u said it requires an actor but more that the right voice concerning Batman anyway.

 

[Matt.S99]

wouldnt the actor be doing the voice too? its basically like their acting but they have to be in a full spandex suit with little dots on it the whole time

I would love to see Kevin Conroy and Tim Daly back to respectful roles.

Would be cool to see Kevin Conroy and Tim Daly voicing Batman and Superman, but that probably won´t happen

 

[Matt.S99]

why would they need other people to do voices though?

That´s exactly why it won´t happen

Yes, I am corrected, however it will be done in a way where the whole movie is not entirely CGI. Just portions of it.

FYI- Welling looks to be the one for JLA Supes in 09 and Bats is being confirmed as we speak. Check out the story either at Bat-World or Super World or at IESB.net
