I think the price of making the movie might be all that would hold it back. Sure its a little known property, but it could be a great series of films.
There would have to be lots of special effects and costumes and make up, almost half of the characters would look like monsters and everyone would have some sort of armor or costumes (like Lord of the Rings I guess).
But yeah, I guess you are right. And I think they would make more money in the long run too.
The failure of Green Lantern probably knocked the chances of this movie ever happening down to zero, but I still think it has unique potential in DC's universe.

August 12th, 2016 by Matt Gault
George Miller has circled the DC movie world long before there was a DC movie world. Once upon a time, Miller the acclaimed auteur behind 2015s surprise Oscar frontrunner Mad Max: Fury Road was attached to helm Justice League Mortal.
The Australian was deep into developing the ambitious project for Warner Bros when it was scrapped in 2008. Since then, DC fans have held on to a glimmer of hope that he would one day return.
Speculation has centred more on the possibility of Miller directing Man of Steel 2 which WB are actively pursuing now for a 2018/19 release date but John Schnepp, speaking on Collider Heroes, claims that he is circling a different project: New Gods.
Schnepp, who acquired a number of key contacts in the movie industry from making his acclaimed documentary The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened? claimed that a little birdy told him that Miller is in the frame to direct New Gods for Warner Bros., even though the film has not been formally announced yet.
Discussing Man of Steel 2 on Collider Heroes, Schnepp said: A year ago we heard George Miller was in the frame to direct Man of Steel 2. I still think thats a possibility but a little birdy told me hes possibly going to be doing the New Gods, even though thats not even announced yet. I dont know where its coming from if my birdy is insane who knows, maybe it came from a Mother Box and its just in another world now.
After the glorious critical and commercial success of Fury Road, Miller is set to begin production on its sequel, Wasteland. After that, the 71-year-old is fair game. It remains to be seen if he would be open to launching himself into a massive studio superhero tent-pole, especially considering he has spoken of a desire to make more quieter films in the future, but its clear hes being talked about as a potential candidate for a future DC Extended Universe project.
New rumor from Jon Schnepp.

If I were to do a New Gods movie, I'd have the movie have two protagonists: Orion and Mister Miracle. Essentially the tale of two sons, showcasing Orion and Mister Miracle's very different upbringings (note that they were traded at birth, with Mister Miracle being the son of Highfather yet traded to Darkseid and raised on Apokolips, and Orion being the son of Darkseid yet traded to Highfather and raised on New Genesis). This would allow for a great contrast of personalities, but also of the environments (Apokolips and New Genesis) and the rulers (Highfather and Darkseid). And then, have Orion and Mister Miracle (along with Big Barda) team-up and fight together to save the New Gods and the Fourth World.
Hugh Keays-Byrne - Darkseid
Tom Hardy - Orion
