Murr Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I Searched, and no results returned... hope it's news to some of you Justice League Movie Is a Go.. With No Superman or Batman Several weeks ago, Warner Bros announced they are planning to fill the gap left by the culmination of the Harry Potter franchise with DC superhero films. With "Green Lantern" due out in theaters next summer, along with the third installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman, and a rebooted Superman film the following year, fans were beginning to wonder how soon it would be for these heroes came together into one ensemble movie. Now we're a few steps closer. A Justice League of America film has been given the tentative green light by Warner Bros. Though the film is still in its very, very early stages (no script has been officially worked on, but the basic plot is outlined). Actors are quietly being pursued to test for the roles. The big surprise is the current team roster: Green Lantern, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter. That's right, folks, no Superman or Batman; at least not yet. The film will be used to introduce Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter to general audiences. Both Green Lantern and The Flash movies will have already been released in theaters, so there would be no need to delve into their origins. Either Superman or Batman, or both, could eventually make their way into the script; though at this time the studio is slowly moving forward without their inclusion. Several comics series, including the team's first outing in "The Brave and the Bold," have worked quite well without Batman and Superman as a part of the initial team. With the role of Green Lantern already taken by actor Ryan Reynolds, four slots are waiting to be filled. Can a JLA film meet the expectations of fans, and gain general audience approval, without the inclusion of DC Comics' "big two" heroes? Fans will have to wait and see.

Happenstance Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Its certainly possible to do a JL movie without Batman and Superman in it, it just might not draw in as many people as it would have. Still, it'd be a good excuse to use some of the characters that the general public dont know too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Lame but not lame at the same time. I want Superman. I reckon the only way to make a good Superman film is to have him not as a central part, or at least sharing it with a load of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 IMO the more characters that are around Superman, the worse he gets. If he's so powerful, why does he need the JLA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I think it makes sense if they need him because, lets face it, he's a bit of an idiot and needs to be told what to do. Add to that, every Superman film released has been awful so it's probably best to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Superman's brill in Grant Morrison's JLA. And used well/the villains plan around him. In any case, JLA Year One (which is a fantastic read) has the original roster of GL, Flash, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter and Black Canary/Wonder Woman (depending on what DC has retconned this week...). So this is technically the "correct" team, and the original one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Is this article really old, fake, badly worded, or just incredibly inaccurate because they say... With "Green Lantern" due out in theaters next summer, along with the third installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman, and a rebooted Superman film the following year,Superman is due in 2012, before Batman, which isn't due out until 2013, not next year alongside Green Lantern!

Dante Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 It must be fake because this news appeared straight after this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
