Should they just make a justice league movie

[CODE-D]

I mean cmon, they cant seriously take the route of individual movies. I mean they can but then theyre just copying marvel and risking failures(lantern) that have to be rebooted. And if they did make those movies they all will most likely be origin stories and dc doesnt have the most interesting origins or even really detailed unlike batman and superman. Nobody can really decide martian manhunters...aquamans....blah blah blah

So my idea, just make a justice league movie that opens with batman and superman doin their thing, meeting the first time and then the plot moves them to meet the others(they dont know of them yet). The earth is under attack globally by...lets say starro. Martian comes to earth to warn earth after starro destroyed his home, takes the form we know by observing supes and bats and tells them of starro and reveals starro is the one who ended krypton. Atlantis/Themyscira/Metropolis/Gotham/Central City and other places are all being taken over by starro forcing the heroes to leave and one by one meet by way of flash. So basically all the characters already exist and have their powers like everyone did in avengers.
They eventually converge and by teamwork figure a way is to take out the head starro that is producing and controlling the others.
They beat it together and clean up the after math of starros
Batman then proposes they keep in touch.

The sequel will be either superboy prime or nekron
the other will be the third

Really? no one has anything to say about this....?
Or am I just so right you all just silently agree?

Im going to say they shouldn't. The only series of movies that they have had that has had any life to it has been Batman so it makes sense (to me at least) that a justice league movie would be really just Batman and his friends with superpowers that make cameo appearances because honestly BATMAN.

From a more personal perspective I actually havent liked ANY DC movies and yes Im including the batman ones ( i just think he's too boring and stale to me) BUT the one DC character I think is a work of fucking GENE-YUSS(mario golf gba color anyone) is the joker dont know how to explain it but I have always thought he was the best thing DC ever did

Why yes I am a marvel fanboy

Gun to my head? I'd have to admit I have a lot of trouble reading your first post. It suffers from a lot of errors that make my eyes glaze over.

Anyway. There's no reason DC shouldn't follow Marvel's lead and make a few introductory movies before tying them all together; the fact that someone else did it first is no reason not to try it yourself. You just have to bring something of your own to the mix.

The plot you offer is okay, I guess, but I can't really get excited about it without a lot more detail explaining why I shouldn't be laughing myself silly at the thought that it takes five dudes with power levels up there in Superman's neighborhood to take down a starfish.

I can think of a few reasons for you.
Marvel didnt just go "WE WANT AN AVENGERS MOVIE!!!" They tested the waters to see if there was interest in the characters. They each had their own successes (Hulk obviously the exception) and a well connected universe.

DC has...Batman and...Green Lantern's movie? Superman's movies? anyone else in recent years? They should try the marvel approach of sending a bunch of characters to different studios and seeing what works and what doesnt then go for the gold. But honestly I think the fact that they want a JL movie right now is just a reaction to the success of the Avengers.

and now the ball is in your court Jim.

supermans power would definitely be downplayed(he wouldnt be super fast or uber strong) he will show effort, strain and take damage like a normal person but endure it better and even supes has had problem and been taken over by starro before.

the superman you described sounds suspiciously like Captain America to me

I actually thought cap in avengers was quite weak.
My superman
for example
batman punches superman in the face. his head will take the blow like anybody else(though slower) and move accordingly it just wont hurt him.

he can fly just not -zoom- uber fast for that is flash's thing, hell also have less strength in the air as he is in free space and needs proper ground to exert his full force.

he can lift thousands of lbs but it will strain him and doing it a number of times will tire him for a while.

and he may or may not have laser vision. idk

hes still super just not god like and not so much that just kryptonite is his only weakness.

I'd love to see a Justice League movie but I really doubt we'll see a good one that isn't animated. The WB/ DC Comics really doesn't seem to know how to (or are unwilling) to market their heroes who aren't Batman or Superman.

I think a similar path DC/WB could take would be to make more than just a Justice League movie. Like, have them make Justice League, Suicide Squad, Teen Titans, Justice Society, etc...then merge all of those together for a Final Crisis movie (or another similar event movie). It would get a ton of heroes/villains screen time if done well and could get more people into the comics in a more effective way than the New 52 reboot. Personally, I didn't grab the Watchmen graphic novel until the movie was on disc for example.

I like that version because it makes superman reasonable but it would anger far too many people and DC is in no place to try and anger their fans at the current time

If they go forward right into it without any previous movies they will need to have a 2 part movie or something in order to properly introduce the characters and the story.

 

[Ecreag91]

and then the first movie would be all intro and probably too much and not enough of the meat and bones of why these movies sell tickets aka action and then no one would want to risk paying for a 2nd movie

 

[the abyss gazes also]

I think the thing that is stopping it is the inability to bring the multiple versions of one character to the screen in close proximity. Like Nolan's batman doesn't have the right tone for a team up movie, so they should just have it be a different Batman... but i think that the people making the movies don't think audiences would understand that it would be Batman, just not Nolan's Batman.

If this is true or not.... i'm not sure. I can get the concept and i'm sure many can, but is there enough people that it would work enoguh to make money. (Though people seemed fine with two Snow White movies in close proximity. )

 

[Gottesstrafe]

In the near future? Probably not. First they'd have to film movies about the other members of the Justice League so we get to know their back stories and how they act, otherwise the lineup would only consist of Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, and maybe Wonder Woman if you want to use that 2011 pilot as a jumping off point. And then there's the issue of how to properly incorporate Batman into the movie, since his new movies opted for a more realistic look over believing in love, friendship, and the heart of the cards shtick Superman and Green Lantern opted for. Let's not even go into the fact that Batman would probably overshadow the rest of the league by virtue of having three movies of back story under his belt and by far the most exposure out of all of the characters. If they were to focus on making one now it'd probably be called "Batman & the League of Justice" or something like that.

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

[sub] An Injustice League movie would be totally cool... [/sub]

Meh, it wouldn't be very good. They shouldn't make one, everyone will see they're only doing it because The Avengers made more money than anything else ever.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Half of what you describe pretty much what happen in the very first three episodes of Justice League (the cartoon shows).
No really you did (Superman and Batman team up, they learn about some alien invasion which come in Martain Manhunter including mention the said invader had destory his home planet Mars and then the rest of the JL members came cos Manhunter send a distress signel via mental mind and they have to work together to save the world), you're basically asking for a live version of that episodes since the rest of the JL team excluding Batman and Superman did not had their own shows to explain their origin.

 

[ThePenguinKnight]

Yeah, since Batman IS the Justice League there's no real point in making a Justice League movie when you can make another Batman movie for much less and get the same effect. Honestly it's getting rather tiring seeing Batman just steamroll through every problem further revealing how useless the other characters seem to be.

 

[weirdsoup]

Why is doing a set of individual movies in the same way Marvel did a bad thing? The smartest thing would be to have an overall story which weaves the films together before they have the team up film.

Given the money Nolan's Bat-films have made for WB a reboot/reimagine will not be far away. The Superman film next year can get the ball rolling with an Ironman style post-credits scene. Rather than do a Green Lantern 2, reboot the film a la Hulk to Incredible Hulk.

But most importantly, get in people who know and care about these characters rather than a bunch of suits in a room trying to figure out how many Happy Meals this film will sell
