Check your space aliens and super powers at the door, this is about a Justice League that exists in The Dark Knight's world.

Batman: Nolan's Batman continues to evolve with each film; he is the proof of concept that other characters like Wonder Woman can exist without powers.

Wonder Woman: No powers required, just a woman with body armor and mad kung fu.

Aquaman: Forget everything you've seen of this character and imagine a character similar to Batman who puts his resources into marine technology.

Blue Beetle: Already based in reality; potential gecko based adhesive materials for climbing.

Robin: Self explanatory.


More Mission Impossible meets Hellboy than Power Rangers. The only character I would give powers to; if Nolan doesn't exclude him, is Superman. The group would thus be the opposite of the traditional team in which Batman is the only one without powers.


Villains: Joker (played by Johnny Depp), Riddler, Catwoman, Penguin, and Two Face.

That's kind of entirely missing the point of Wonder Woman and Aquaman. You're basically asking for Buffy and Captain Nemo.
 
If Superman has powers, I don't see why Nolan won't give Wonder Woman powers too

Except Buffy has Slayer strength and all that... and is much better than this idea.

jesus i dont see why some folks think that if nolan is going to be invovled with other characters that he would alter them so much that they are not who they are. He went with a realistic approach to batman cause it works for what the character is at his core. Plus we have no clue how nolan produced superman is going to turn out as of yet. Also its been said many times nolan knows batman and superman are different. He is more then likely not going to make an ultra realistic take on superman. He will probably just bring in his film techniques, casting setups, and help make the film be a good critical films. Plus dc having a more say in these films now will probably never let characters be taken so far off key.
 
I didn't say Superman would be present for sure-- Nolan could base his reboot in 1948 for all we know.


All villains are from Batman?

Yeah, he has the best villains in all of comics.


The heroes would be more like 007. These characters are being born into The Dark Knight's world; where in the comics, they are born into the world of Superman.

Maybe Batman could also be more realistic and be a overweight man with a baseball-bat who beats people up with that. And The Flash could be a guy who has a long coat and only flashes himself to people.

This might be a cool elseworlds comic book but as a film I would probably only DL it illegally.
 
While I don't think we'd get quite the "Nolanized" version of the JLA as thorstone implied here,just for fun I''ll give it a try...

Batman
Green Arrow
Oracle
Katana (minus the mystical stuff with the sword) or the Huntress
The Question
Bronze Tiger (working as a double agent maybe)

Villians
Talia Al Ghul or even Ra's Al Ghul
Deadshot or Deathstroke
Bane (steroid abusing muscle man not the "get huger when taking the Venom version)
Lady Shiva
Scarecrow
Calculator
Amanda Waller or Max Lord
 
Nolans realism for Batman is simply undoing the wackiness of Burton and Sch......

No Neon gotham or very obvious puns. No bat nipples or ass shots.



Joker and Ra's, Nolan just didn't want to spend 20 minutes explaining their origins. He simply had them go into battle. Where Ra's from"-----who flippen cares. is he immortal? maybe he is and maybe he isn't, no body means he could come back. Where is Joker from? Oh look at that your missing Joker kill a guy.
 
No one will see this. Furthermore, I don't believe that Christopher Nolan's vision of the Batman will be the same for all heroes in the DC Universe. I think that a lot of us will be surprised when we see what the Nolan brothers do with Superman.

Green Lantern is just a guy who really likes lamps
 
Nolan confirmed over the weekend that Superman and Batman will exist in different universes. So this would be the Justice League if it existed in Batman's world (noone with super powers).


The Justice League that would exist in Superman's world would be something more fantastic.
 
Nolan's JL would not exist. Which couldn't made me any happier.
