Justice League film confirmed

[Midnite]

Nolan has nothing to do with Batman vs Superman OR Justice League. He's very obviously removed his name for anything beyond Man of Steel. From here on out, it's JUST Zack Snyder and David Goyer, and that is a serious source of concern.

Only thing I have against Snyder is his editing. I thought MoS pacing was off. Has Goyer been tagged for the JL movie? Maybe they will use Chris Terrio instead.

Also a side note, Nolan won't be doing films for WB for quite a while.

Hehe, hopefully not

This movie is going to be terrible because they cast Ben Affleck as Batman.  I've completely written this series off.  Even if they recast him for some reason, WB  has proven time after time that they can not do enough things right in a row to pull off something this ambitious.  Man of Steel was a good movie, but that could just be a fluke. Green Lantern was just garbage,  they're already going to have to reboot the character so what would make me think they'll get it right the second time around?  Nothing has changed,  Zack Snyder can  sometimes make a good movie but he is no Chris Nolan (who I'm certain had a significant role in making Man of Steel a success).No way WB can handle this.  I'd love to be proved wrong but I feel like I learned my lesson by getting so excited about Green Lantern.

BWPS, you sound like a boy who had a crush on this girl and when you finally have enough courage to ask her out, you found out that she's dating the captain of the football team.  I didn't know how hurt you were by the GL movie

Not only that but it was the captain of the football team who makes fun of me being poor and beats me up every day!

I actually think this is a low risk move by Warner Bros - and I'm talking financially and franchise building here. Batman and Superman can sell, teaming them up together should sell very well, and get the proper hype behind Justice League and it should sell even better (bonus points if it's actually a good movie). Coming out after Avengers during a time where superheros rule the cinemas there should be little resistance to movie goers wanting to see Justice League.

I think it would be riskier to go the solo route. One key movie (Green Lantern) can derail the entire plan. I've always held that Marvel got lucky that Iron Man took off like it did. Even when you make a good film that's no guarantee of the financial success that has made the Marvel Cinematic as we know it possible.

If I was WB I would keep the League small for the first film. Five or six members, with maybe others in smaller roles. The real concentration should be on finding a way to tell a solid compelling story, something that can build a franchise not just of Justice League but for solo films as well.

Granted I think this also an all or nothing gambit. If a Green Lantern or Aquaman solo film fails then you just regroup and try again with Green Arrow or Wonder Woman. If Justice League fails, you're in a tough spot to get things going again.

^I dont think there will be Green Arrow in this movie.Im actually cool with that because Arrow is THE Green Arrow adaptation.
Im just hoping for a good story,not some generic alien invasion.
Any words on the story?

Comparing my 2nd favorite CBM of all time  (MOS) to my least favorite big hyped CBM of modern times ( IM3) so to speak. I am really so excited even Be Affleck can't bring me down.

Sadly, I don't have a lot of faith in the Justice League movie.  I'm not a fan of the Ben Affleck casting, David Goyer is a twit, and Zach Snyder is competent, I guess?  A movie like this needs better than competent.  I hope it works out, and surprises me - Batman v. Superman will be the real litmus test.  If it's good, Justice League has a chance; if it's not, Justice League is doomed.

They've already been doomed; didn't you see the animated film?

[JeyNyce]

Was it ever confirmed that Flash & Arrow were in the same universe as Supes, Bats & WW?

CW series are not part of the movie universe.

[HarryTrotter]

^I dont think any1 ever claimed that.

[Tomato]

Jeynyce was asking the question not two posts ago. Midnite even quoted it.

[HarryTrotter]

^Let me rephrase that for you:
Who of us said that this film is in Arrow-verse?
Questio was formed like somebody here claimed it.

Nobody here claimed it, but it has been brought up before.  I think before you joined Spade.  Anyway, this is why I'm bring it back up

I know it's old news, but with everything going on with BvS and the JL movie, I have a feeling this topic is going to be brought up again.  Enjoy!

[HarryTrotter]

^Like I said there is no way for that.
But nobody can play Green Arrow like Stephen Amell.

What do you think is holding up all that water?  Sand!

[JeyNyce]

   Okay okay, before this gets too crazy....  What do you guys think?  Can WB really pull this off and do you think that it's pretty bold of them to announce all of these movie so soon?  My biggest question is who is going to play Sandman and is he going to be part of the same universe as the others?

No and yes. They did Batman right for three of the greatest movies of all time, and I can't ignore that. However Christopher Nolan had a lot of control and he is a master, and those weren't traditional superhero movies. With those their track record is pretty bad. They were going to do Justice League several times before, attaching some terrible writers and directors to making all kinds of JLA character films with only one getting made. Green Lantern was their chance to just put out a good superhero movie and there were some bad decisions made and it was (well you know how I feel about it). Beyond that we're looking at movies like Jonah Hex, Catwoman, Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, Steel, Superman Returns (which I kinda don't hate but it still sucks). Casting f%@!ing Ben Affleck shows a huge disconnect with the fanbase and the character. Why even cast someone that's going to get that kind of backlash? I know I stay attached to Christopher Nolan's nutsack, but it seems like he's the only reason DC has had any success, and he's gone. What's to be excited about? So they make Man of Steel (with Nolan doing god knows how much for it) and it's good so they think "Oh, we can do the Marvel thing now!" But what has really changed? I like Zack Snyder more than most people, but even I don't think he has the golden touch that would be needed to fix something that is clearly very wrong with WB's approach to DC movies.

Oh wait, ignore all that. I actually just meant to say. "Ben Affleck sucks, all these movies are going to suck."

^Didnt they learn anything from the Daredevil movie?
Ok no Christian Bale,but Ben,seriously?

Where is ALL of the Ben Affleck hate coming from?!?!.. really, folks.. Ben did Daredevil in 2003.. That's 11 years AGO!!! And it was a FOX movie production.. far outside the level of quality that Marvel Studios is putting the Netflix version under. Really, Daredevil was ALL Ben Affleck's fault? Not the writers who came up with the teter-totter fight or ripping off The Crow with the Daredevil burning logo or just the horrible romantic dialog between Matt and Elektra?

Ben won an oscar for his acting in ARGO and a Director's Guild award (from his own peers.. like Spielburg for goodness sake) for ARGO as well. Warner Brothers is practically kissing Ben's feet that they could even get Batman vs Superman AND Justice League into the same conversation of success that ARGO made for them as a studio. Did anyone see The Town? Also a great film that Ben played a darker conflicted character. Nope, everyone remembers him in Daredevil... because it was the only time he did a superhero before and it bombed. Watch Argo and The Town then come back to the "Ben Sucks" conversation.

Plus, Ben Affleck and Kevin Smith have said that the new Batman is based on The Dark Knight Returns version and they are working together to make sure he is ready for the role. The Frank Miller version where Batman spoke with his fists and only said something when it needed to be said and usually did it in such a way that his opponents usually weewee in their pants. Now, Bruce Wayne on the other hand is a perfect match for Ben's personality because he can do the carefree rich guy mentality and even showing off his detective skills under humor of being totally clueless of what is going on around him.

I'm just waiting like everyone else for the first trailer and then we can start second guessing Ben as Batman.

^Im not saying he couldnt improved over the years.It IS hard to imagine him as Batman,but Im giving it a benefit of doubt.
