    As far as I know, Yates is set on 'Tarzan'. I've heard nothing of this Batman talk. No doubt a rumour some loon has made up.

    potential character info nothing to surprising though this could all be bs though if Alfred and Batman appear I am hoping Michael Caine returns ala Dame Judi Dench in Casino Royale.
  • From what I understand they were planning on Jake Gyllenhaal appearing as Bruce Wayne in the next iteration... As great as the whole Joseph Gordon Levitt / Robin / Nightwing / Batman angle that was hinted at the end of TDKR was, I'm not sure he'd be right to step into the Batsuit even for a Justice League movie, isn't he somewhat too short? Or would it be like Power Rangers when they morph they inexplicably all become the same height :P

    Just drop Aquaman from the film, and I'm sure it'll be a hit (seriously, what's he going to do? "Oh, my, the Legion of Doom is attacking the city! There's no water anywhere nearby, so I'm going to send the League my support by making whales jump!").

    Or they could write in a plot that involves a coastal battle, where the attackers come by sea.

    Spitballing, they could have an evil super hero pit the Americans and Chinese against each other by overtaking China or Russia or the frick ever has a Navy, and Auquaman uses his powers to take out the ships and stuff.

    I DONT KNOW they can make it work. They made Hawkeye work. Somehow.

    Thanks! :D

    I actually had a really cool dream last night. In it I was viewing the first trailer for the next Batman reboot. It had a slightly darker tone than Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. In one of the shots Batman is sitting in his, fire place lit, living room with his suit on without the mask and cape. The suit was a very dark grey and wasn't rubber or armor. He was going through papers and evidence doing detective work, like how Batman is supposed to do! Then of course a few shots of action scenes. The plot seemed to focus around a villian who's goal was to cause horrific acts against the people of Gotham before getting his revenge by killing Batman.
    Not sure if Batman has an enemy called the Jackal but the title of it was Batman: Let the Jackal Go

    And Batman was played by... Karl Urban!

    I think Bradley Cooper is a great choice but after that dream I feel Karl Urban could be really great in this role.

    There apparently is but I think he was a one off character in the 60's still I had a dream in high school with Scarecrow as the villain of the next batman film a couple of years before Batman begins came out and well my dream came true

    Personally I always Felt the Reaper would make for a good film villain my opinion only

    I thought I was the only one who loved Cooper for Batman and the rest of your cast is spot on as well :D
  • I'd rather drop Aquaman and let Green Arrow in. I know he's not supposed to be a member yet, but his show kicks so much ass!

    And I second Karl Urban as Bats

    Also- there's a guy on this board (I forget who at the moment, sorry) who had recommended Scott Adkins as a potential James Bond, but IMO he'd be perfect for Batman! I could easily picture him knocking out a room full of badguys with his barehands and the audience just dropping their jaws
  • Supposedly the roster for the movie has been finalized:

    "According to Latino-Review, the final five members of the onscreen JLA are Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Green Lantern."-- from http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/24/justice-league-movies-roster-revealed

    I like the sound of this team- better to keep it small and not cram too many 'dull' characters into the first movie

    No surprises. Was hoping for Aquaman, I don't understand why you would omit your most visually diverse character. Avengers don't have anyone like him.
  • They did mention there would be cameos too- maybe Aquaman will show up at an aquarium somewhere ;)

    Hopefully they'll feature a cameo of my favourtie DC character of all-time. Arm Fall Off Boy!

    The latest is the script has been scrapped and WB will start again but only after seeing how Man of Steel performs first. This ties in with word that it all rests of how greatly Man of Steel does at the box office, or not.

    Justice League has been worked on since 2007 and six years on, still nothing. :))

    As good as Justice League can be, it'll never be the breakthrough that Avengers was.

    Bit of an attempt to cash in on the monster success of the Avengers still if man of steel is a reasonable hit which look's likely considering good reaction to trailers and superhero movies are so in fashion at the moment thanks to the Avengers and the dark knight trilogy. They either need to get a super director like Nolan to direct it or someone relatively unknown in the mainstream like joss wheedon was prior to the TA.

    Joss Whedon wasn't exactly unknown before Avengers. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Serenity, Dollhouse. He gave up two lines for X-Men (one of which being the infamous "What happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning"), and has been writing comics for years, too.
  • I'm not really feeling Justice League like I did Avengers. There's just not as many good characters in the JL (in my opinion) as in The Avengers.
    I mean, how many members of the Justice League could carry a whole movie by themselves-- Batman, Superman, sure. Green Lantern happened but most people hated it. Wonder Woman? She's popular but how many would see a movie with just her in it? If there was a Wonder Woman movie I'd likely watch it on Netflix (BTW, I still haven't seen Green Lantern) That's it, really. I love The Flash, but even I know he probably couldn't carry a movie on his own.
    Every member of The Avengers had (or at lease was featured in) an individual movie, and I saw each one in the theatre. That's why The Avengers movie was an EVENT.

    With a Justice League movie they will either have to release it with a ton of characters appearing for the first time, or spit out a handfull of crap movies like on a conveyer belt to set up for the 'team up' movie.

    Personally I'd rather see "World's Finest"

    That's just Batman & Superman for those who don't follow comics. It could certainly star Henry Cavill. Likely a brand new actor for Batman, separate from the 'Nolanverse', BUT Christian Bale did say that he'd be open to return if the situation called for it.

    World's Finest featuring Cavill & Bale would be the movie of my dreams!!!

    This is mostly true. The best part about Marvel's characters is that they can each be enjoyed in a film by themselves. That, and they can get actors that truly embody what's right about the characters. With DC films, I don't know if it's just because all the good actors have been stolen by Marvel, or because they prefer to use unknowns, but their actors don't really fit the characters that often. Christian Bale worked for Batman, but Joseph Gorden Levitt doesn't work at all for Robin. Henry Cavill looks like he'll do a good job as Superman, but Laurence Fishbourne as Perry White? Nope.

    Robert Downey Jr. worked as Iron Man. He actually looked like the comic book Tony Stark hopped right off the page. Mark Rufalo (and Edward Norton, but not Eric Bana) played Bruce Banner exactly the right way. Samuel L. Jackson just plain is Nick Fury. I agree with the Fury of the Ultimates, there's no one else who could play that role (read Ultimates volume 1, issue 3 or 4 to understand what I'm talking about). Andrew Garfield looks like, sounds like, just plain acts like Spider-Man. Thomas Jane was the best choice for the Punisher, though Ray Stevenson did a good job, too. I prefer him as Volstagg, though.
    With a Justice League movie they will either have to release it with a ton of characters appearing for the first time, or spit out a handfull of crap movies like on a conveyer belt to set up for the 'team up' movie.

    Their best choice right now is to just make a movie with a ton of characters. DC keeps pushing out cartoons by the dozen every year, so we all know the characters by this point.

    There's a guy who uploaded a fanedit on YouTube that takes episodes of Smallville and bits and pieces of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and turned that into a pretty good World's Finest movie. The edits work pretty well in most cases.

    Oh, come on, there's plenty of brilliant and compelling characters in the JLA! There's Batman for starters, and...ah....and then there's...uhmm...there's-.....ah.....

    I AM THE NIGHT!

    Let's just all face it. Justice League worked best as a cartoon, and won't work as a live action film.
  • Seriously-- we should all stop wishing for JLA and start petitioning for World's Finest

    I'm game. Put two characters together who can work in a film together, then try and slip in a half dozen.

    Or a Trinity movie. Problem with JLA is that unlike Avengers there's at least 7 major characters - Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter - that demands attention. Whereas in the Avengers there's only 4 - Iron Man, Captain, Thor and Hulk (Who really was not all that well developed and focused). When you add the villains in there as well, then you might as well go on to make two 3-hour long movies.
