In his prime Baldwin would have been the perfect Batman. They should have got him over Clooney and it would have made Batman & Robin that much better. You've never seen The Shadow?

One thing about this with "the big 3" and knowing they would be in a Justice League movie, they would definately overshadow Green Lantern, The Flash, etc.
Now I know that many people would love to see The top seven (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Aquaman), even I agree that would be fun to see,but I see these films would focus more on Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman than these other heroes. You would see other the characters, but the other Leaguers I couldn't see character development.
Now if the comic started off with some characters of Justice League: Year One and go with some other characters It might give these other charcaters to shine and get their own films developed.
Now I know some people might say "Remember the cheezy 1997 Justice League failed tv pilot that Green Lantern, Flash, The Atom, Fire, Ice, and Martian Manhunter and it failed." Sure look at the effects, the plot, the costumes, but I say if the tv movie would have had top notch effects and the script and a good villian those characters could have worked and would have had a good run.
Now I will say the general audience when they think of JL or Super Friends they think of naturally Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman being in the group. But using the other characters instead of the big three would sure help the others, because the main focus would be on the big three and not the others. The big three would have the main focus and lines leaving GL, Flash, etc. just in the background spouting a few lines here and there.
I'd like to see Green Lantern, The Flash, etc. shine as their own movies could be developed further.

Well another option people haven't thought about is these characters spinning off into their own movies as a result of the success of a Justice League movie. I'm sure the rest of the team would get their fair share of screen-time. It is a team movie after all and it's not like these characters are so similar that they would be interchangeable.

Baldwin would have been a better Batman than Bale back in the day but Keaton was really good too.

 

[ToddIsDead]

I've always been of the opinion that a young Alec Baldwin would have been a perfect Batman. I mean, he had everything. The dark hair, the raspy voice, he was in really good shape, and he was (and still is) a great actor.

 

[incubat]

oh thank god...you meant the time when he was younger.... sorry, my mistake t:

 

[TNC9852002]

This movie makes me so nervous. I mean, this movie would have to be like an extreme X-Men-esque kind of movie with so many different characters with so many different backgrounds and powers that they need to establish and get going. The movie would have to have an enormous, yet safe budget (no less than 200m).

Well they could just go with this as an Idea for a JLA movie. The first movie could come some time after the Wonder Woman movie and be called Justice League "Trinity" and be about the Big 3 and have them forming the team. At some point in one they run across a couple more heroes (Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Green lantern). JL2 can be called Justice League Unitied and come out some time after the Flash and Shazam movies by this time Flash and Captian Marvel are members of the group. Along with Black Canary, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. There os by the time JL3 comes out you have your main core of JLA members together for a big showdown with say Darkside.

If Flash had a solo film he might end up looking silly wearing a bright red suit running around. But if you have green lantern flying next to him and Wonder Woman too, and Batman and Superman, then it would be so cheesy and then they could make the solo films and non comic reading audiances might be more accepting of his costume.

I'm guessing you never watched the TV series???? Maybe you should go rent it or something and then rethink ^.

 

[SupaFresh208]

^^ maybe he/she hasen't but that's their opinion to which he/she is entitled too. If they do ever come out with a Justice League movie they could go about it the same way they did X-Men and focus on Wolverine but since Batman, Superman origins are already know they could focus on Wonder Woman, Flash, or Green Lantern to get the movie going.

 

[The_Beav]

Yeah, they should get The Pretender's Michael T. Weiss if they ever recast Batman.

He's already voiced Jason Blood/Etrigan in the DCU cartoons (from Batman on up). If not Batman then definately Hal Jordan/Parallax...Or Hawkman even. The man is a very versatile actor. A role like The Pretender called for that very quality. Has a very, very deep voice...He WOULD be an awesome Jason Blood though but I don't see him being in a movie...ever.

I think he could pull off Jon Jonzz. He has height, voice and acting skills. Just slap some green paint on him.

 

[The_Beav]

Wouldn't a Justice League movie take place after each of the members have had their own solo careers? And it is the necessity for them to combine forces? I think using Bale and/or Routh would be a mistake. That would imply that shortly after these heroes started their careers, they join forces. I'd think you'd want a seasoned Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern. Obviously, the Martian Manhunter would be "old". The others could be less "veteran" I suppose. But a 20-something Superman for a Justice League seems too young. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of the comics can pinpoint the ages of the Justice League players.

 

[SupaFresh208]

Just anonymous casting:

Superman: Brandon Routh?
Batman: Christian Bale
Wonder Woman: Jessica Biel
Green Lantern: Tyriese Gibson
The Flash: Ryan Reynolds

 

[Speedball]

^Hell no!
Tyrese Gibson as Jon Stewart?
HAHAHAHA!!! That's funny, that's really funny.
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje would be a much better choice.

 

[SupaFresh208]

^^ My opinion fam if not him I was aiming for the dude from Blood Diamond, I can't remember his name I think its Djimon Hounsou

It would depend on what they are joining forces to fight. If say it is a world wide threat that could kill billions (Darkside) then Superman and Batman would join to help in the cause, at any age.

Well they don't really even have to connect Batman and Superman in a JLA movie to their solo movies. A global, possibly galactic-wide, threat shows up and naturally brings the world's greatest superheroes together to fight as one. It doesn't have to be overly complicated to work.

Another good suggestion.

 

[batbat_29640]

What's up with this Jessica Biel crap?? Thank god you people are not actual casting directors.

 

[Ring Deacon]

Jessica Biel is acually one of Weldon's choices for Wonder Woman. But who knows who will get the role. Wonder Woman has been in development hell for years now. For all we know by the time it finally gets made Dakota Fanning will be old enough for the role and get cast as Diana.

 

[SupaFresh208]

^^ dont kno if any of you kno Lauren London but she'd make a great Wonder Woman

 

[Savage]

What's up with this Jessica Biel crap?? Thank god you people are not actual casting directors.

What's wrong with Biel?

 

[Ring Deacon]

Jessica Biel would make a great Wonder Woman IMO. She has the right build and looks for the role. I think she could nail it.

 

[incubat]

yeah...wouldn't be that bad actually...

 

[The Phantom]

I definitely have no clue who Lauren London is but she looks really cute.
Maybe she could play Wonder Girl in the Teen Titans movie.
