Anyone interested in a "JUSTICE LEAGUE" film? - Dallas Cowboys Forum

HTownCowboysFan · 10-02-2007

I'm not.

But this is what Warner Bros. is trying to shove down our throats for a summer '09 tentpole. The issue is that writers strike which is looming and studios are scrambling to get their eggs in a row before it happens.

I think this is a trainwreck waiting to happen -- especially since it will have Batman (not Christian Bale and not the "same Batman," if you will) in it and we're right in the middle of the Chris Nolan-directed Bat-trilogy.

Just wanted to know what the "mainstream" thinks to I can give Warners hell each time they call!

I'm all for it. Can't wait till it's done.

Although it seems dumb to not have Bale in the role of Batman.

When is the new batman coming out anyway?

No. I didn't read any of the DC comics, but the idea of a "Justice League" always seemed silly and childish to me.

We're talking about a comic book, dude. They're all silly and childish. It's just a matter of whether or not you're in to that sort of thing.

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing it. When I was a kid, the Justice League was about the only comic book that I read. After all, they did X-Men.

I've been collecting comics for 22 years so I'm always open to anything that can bring comics-related material to the big screen. The upcoming Justice League movie will have some neat perks like seeing the Flash and Green Lantern. Even as bad as it will be, at least it will be fun to see them bring characters to real life. However, just as in sports, I'm no homer and a lot of the recent comics-related films have been terrible in my opinion namely Superman Returns.

I heard that it might include the Wonder Twins... is that true?

If so, it can't be anything more than a disastrous farce.

FWIW I heard that Jake and Maggie Gyllenhall were being considered for the WT.

The new Batman is coming out next June. It will star Heath Ledger as the Joker. I've seen a photo of him as the Joker and he looks much more like a deranged serial killer with makeup than a clown. The new film will be very good.

I'm still waiting on spawn 2 and punisher 2

Mavs Man · 10-03-2007

That would be friggin' awesome...

...except that Bale and Routh won't be in it. So, ehh...

Really? Spawn was good, but The Punisher has had two movie incarnations and I thought both were average at best.

I would not mind a Justice League, but it isn't something I see as a must. While I enjoyed the X-Men movies, sometimes it is easier to focus on fewer characters. Plus the X-Men started as a group. That was their identity. The Justice League are better known as individuals that happened to form a group. I would rather see a Flash movie or Green Lantern movie than them in the Justice League.

I'm glad that I wasn't the only one out there who was disappointed in Superman Returns. After the introduction of special effects in The Matrix movies, I was geared up to be blown away by SR, but wasn't.

I'm interested in seeing DC finally put out a big screen hit that's doesn't have Batman in its title. Even with movies like Hulk and Electra not making the grade, the Marvel adaptations have been very entertaining for me, mostly.

I wonder who would play WONDER Woman? If it's someone with Lynda Carter's (70's) bod and Lucy (Xena) Lawless' acting aura (sure, she's not the best actress out there, but I love her anyway), that would be a great combination. Whoever's making the film better not do some stupid typecasting like Reese Witherspoon for the Amazon Princess.

Never cared for the justice league. But I was also not a big fan of DC Comics for the most part.

Always was a marvel guy. I have always liked the X-Men and the Avengers. Well they already have the X-Men movies, they are still doing the finishing touches on the Iron Man movie (he was an avenger)...kind of like to see what they could do with Vision from the Avengers.

I thought Superman returns was flat out terrible.

I thought all of the batman movies, except this last one, was terrible.

Liked the X-Men movie. Thought the Hulk movie was so bad I wish the hulk would have destroyed, smashed anyone associated with the movie.

Electra and Daredevil were terrible as well. At least Electra looked nice and the villains were kind of cool.

Looking forward to see what the Wolverine movie will be like.

yah i loved the spawn movie (live action, animated were cool too thought!) and the recent punisher with Thomas Jane was cool and was a good introductory movie.

Edit: Punisher 2 wont have thomas jane in it! some dude named Ray Stevenson. its due out in 2008
