JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE
Warner Bros. are holdng meetings with DC about the direction they want to take concerning the supehero properties.
"While we are not going to go into the specifics of the meetings, we're constantly looking at how best to exploit the DC Comics characters and properties. DC is an incredibly valuable asset to Warner Bros. and plays an important role across the entire studio by providing development and franchise opportunities for all media, including films, television, home entertainment, animation, consumer products, video games and digital platforms."Thank fucking God. Someone took their head out of their ass or sobered up long enough to realize that they were going to make a multi-million dollar blunder.
I wonder who are present at these meetings. I would hope that they involve creative DC writers like Mark Waid, Joss Whedon or Brian K. Vaughn.
Marvel has it right on the money. Although it's taken them the better part of a decade, they've finally got it! Through trial and error, time and thought, they managed to get their shit together and come up with a solid plan. DC has been trying to do what Marvel is now doing for 30 years. They need to bite the bullet and follow suit if they ever want to make the Justice League movie ever worth watching.
It was obvious that DC tried to go into competition with Marvel after they announced the Avengers. DC won't be able to release Justice League before Marvel releases the Avengers. It's way too much and way too late at this point. Another thing they needed to note on is about the actors. They need to use the actors who've established the characters (for this era) or not use them at all.
The Batman franchise is in good hands. Let Christopher Nolan do whatever the fuck he wants! If he wants to do a movie in between Batman movies, don't hassell him about it. If he wants to bang your daughters, let him do it. Do whatever it takes to keep him doing these movies.
These are some of my suggestions for future Batman characters:
Guy Pearce as Dr. Kirk "Man-Bat" LangstromThe Superman franchise is NOT in good hands. Keep Brandon Routh, he's perfect! Fire Bryan Singer and NEVER give him another franchise ever. He has proven he can't be trusted with them. Give it to someone who has a real love for the character like Mark Waid. Also, we've had 5 movies with Lex Luthor and kryptonite as the main villian. We're long overdue for a change and at this point, I don't even care who it is. Just pick someone else, please!
The Man of Steel should have been ready for a 2009 release, but Singer was too busy with his gay-Nazi romp in Germany with Tom Cruise. That's right, I went there.
This what I think should happen (I'm aware no one is going to listen): At least two or three of these projects should go into profuction at the same time and released throughout the following year and after one is released, another should go into production.
I would say after "The Dark Knight" opens, immediately start on "Green Arrow: SuperMax". It should be fairly cheap to produce and ready for Fall 2009.
My choice to portray Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow would be Kiefer Suherland.
Another film to start production on would be on Mark Waid's "Man of Steel" and "Green Lantern" to be ready for 2010.
My choice to portray Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern would be Matthew Davis (Tigerland, Legally Blonde).
After "Watchmen" opens (which I am soooooooooooooooo looking forward to and WB/DC really needs a hearty pat on the back for hiring Zack Snyder) in March 2009, Warner Bros. should start on Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland's new "Wonder Woman" script with Joss Whedon directing (plus the third Batman movie) and have that shit ready for 2011.
In short, thy shouldn't consider doing a Justice League movie until 2015 at the latest.
