Warners is totally taking a gamble with this, and the future of a lot of franchises (and DC Movies as a whole) Hangs in the balance.
for anybody who thinks this could be good, don’t be so quick to forget the past.
Batman and Robin
Catwoman
Steel
those are all DC Comics movies.
Warner Bros. would do well to license these out to smaller picture houses, who want to do the property justice, instead of hanging onto them in the hopes of making major bank on the names.
I dunno. For me there’s been a bunch of Batman movies already and a bunch of Superman movies, never a JLA Hollywood one. They have a chance to get both Routh and Bale together under the 3 movie contract, I say take it. You never know, both of them can jump ship after the third film they make anyway. And Superman 2 was going to be about Zodd… AGAIN… screw that movie until they come up with a Braniac pitch.
Yeah it could suck. So could Batman 2, 3 and Superman 2 and 3. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before (Batman 3, 4, Superman 3, 4). A JLA movie sucking is at least something different.
I mean seriously, do you know how impossible it is for Marvel right now to make a movie with Tobey Mcguire, Hugh Jackman and Robert Downey Jr., in the same flick because the rights are all over the freaking place and they’d have to pay these people a butt load of money because they are not under contract like Bale and Routh? DO IT WB! DOOOOO IT!
I didn’t read your link to the JLA movie but is it really going to be the actors that played them in the separate movie like that dumbass guy who played superman in superman returns will be the superman of the JLA movie
And they could have The Godfather play John Stewart GL. That’d be badass. Chyna as Wonder Woman, Val Venis as Aquaman, Booker T as Martian Manhunter, the Undertaker as Barry Allen Flash, and Raul Julia TRANSFORMED into M. Bison.
Kyle Rayner is bottom of the barrel. He’s down there with Guy Gardner. Still, I don’t think I would be interested in a big screen Green Lantern unless it was Hal Jordan. He IS the Green Lantern.
Kyle gets shafted when it comes to street cred because it’s cool to look down on the crappy '90s. He was just one of a series of pretenders during that era. Like Azrael for Batman, the four Supermen, Artemis for Wonder Woman, Connor Hawke for Green Arrow, and Aquaman getting his hand chopped off to look gritty.
They brought back Hal Jordan as an evil psychopath.
They crapped out Kyle Rayner to fill his position.
I realize the idea behind Green Lantern is that there is more than one of them, but they shat all over Hal Jordan and basically expected Kyle Rayner to get the same kind of adoration, just for being the latest guy to wear the costume.
And yes, the 90s were very, very crappy for the flagship superheroes.
