Ha ha Wonder Woman’s not American. At least not by birth. I’m just saying… :looney:
Well, technically, neither are Superman, J’onn J’onzz, Hawkman, or Aqua Man.
They took err jurrbs! Terk err jrrrbs! TRK ER JRRRR!
Old South Park episode. 
Jay Baruchel Talks JLA Movie
There’s no god.
I don’t think this is going to happen any time soon. There was a recent interview with regards to the new Shazam / Captain Marvel movie, and they said there were things they could do with Shazam right now that they can’t do with Superman right now, so they can make a Captain Marvel movie kind of like a Superman one. Because the rights to the Superman movie franchise (and Superman in general) are tied up in legal woes, due to that ongoing case of the creators of Superman’s relatives continuing to sue WB.
Finally, something GOOD came out of that never ending lawsuit. A Justice League movie without Christian Bale as Batman? And a new actor playing Superman? NO JUST NO. :arazz:
I can’t think of a superhero movie that I want to happen less right now.
Well, Watchmen.
Other than that, you’d probably have to announce a Superman movie directed by Michael Bay and starring Ashton Kutcher in order to get me less excited.
“Dude look, I’m like, Superman or something!”
Have Shawn William Scott as Batman and we got the makings of “World’s Finest: Dude where’s my Batmobile?”
Yeah alot of dumb stuff is preventing DC from getting a foot hold into making more superhero movies like Marvel is doing now especially with Justice League. It’ll be a long while before we see anything coming out of DC for now.
lol they got spiderman synrome…like when spidey’s rights were in limbo for like 2 decades lol.
Too bad DC wasn’t a little more careful back when they essentially used their advantage in the market to sign crummy deals with their creators, or things might not have unfolded this way. Oh well.
you mind elaborating?
Back in the day, the market strongly favored the companies over the creators. Because of the economic conditions (remember that the industry flowered in the middle of the Depression), artists were working for very little money and were signing away their original properties without retaining much of anything in the way of creative rights.
It’s not that the artists were too stupid to negotiate for a better longterm deal, and it isn’t that the publishers were deliberately trying to screw them–it was just the definition of good business sense at the time. For example, five bucks per page was considered a fair rate, and putting food on the table was unquestionably prioritized over residual rights. This is why guys like Siegel, Shuster, and Kane went for decades without so much as having their names printed under the titles of the characters that they invented (or partially invented, in Kane’s case). And even then, those guys had to put some heavy pressure on DC to get even a small slice of the pie.
Again, I’ll stress that this is simply a case of The Way Things Were, and the current situation is one that nobody in the industry was predicting back then. When I say that it’s too bad DC’s legal eagles didn’t negotiate things more carefully, all I’m really doing is pitying them for all the foresight that their predecessors lacked. My initial statement of “crummy deals” and so forth isn’t really fair to DC, since I’m speaking of a 1938 situation in 2008 terms.
If National Publications’ guys had thought for a moment that there would eventually be big money in Hollywood for Superman, they might have gone out on a limb for Siegel and Shuster. Instead, they did the sensible thing: they paid them their page rate and generously gave them work for quite a while.
Bill Finger himself still doesn’t get credit for Batman, either. It doesn’t sound hard to add his name, right next to Bob Kane’s, to every Batman book they publish.
Finger sometimes gets acknowledged, but he never appears in the creator byline.
Jerry Robinson was making a speech at the Eisner Awards once, and said something to the effect of, “We need to create a new award category for underappreciated artists. We can call it the Finger Award, and it will look like this.” And then he gave the audience the finger.
Yup. Too good.
This movie was gonna suck, but now it’s gonna suck even more. Straight-to-DVD, imo.
i have been sleeping on this project…and i really didt think it would be happening anytime soon. i dont like everything im reading here eighter. i really did picture that if they were going to do a JLA movie they would go with Darkseid as the main villain.
and in a perfect dreamworld of milk and honey i wish that they wouldt switch out Bale with some unknown dude , he’s like trademark batman to me now.
there was this piece in IGN some months back that described everything we would ever want from a JLA movie , and i really liked what they were writing. to do the JLA movie “justice” heh… it would have to hit with the same amount of success as Dark Knight.
The pain is equal to the fucking dragonball movie now.
I can only figure there reasoning behind not having Bale is because of money. You put a whole bunch of unknowns as superheroes that’ll probably keep costs down.
