JLA: The Movie?! Feb. 23, 2007
Source: Variety   by: Mike Sampson

That high-pitched sound you heard this morning was a nation of fanboys collectively squealing in delight at the news, announced in Variety this morning, of a planned JUSTICE LEAGUE movie. Warner Bros. has hired writers Kiernan and Michele Mulroney to write a script that would focus on the Justice League of America. WB wouldn't confirm which heroes would be involved but Variety speculates they are not second-tier characters. How though do you secure deals with Brandon Routh and Christian Bale to star as Superman and Batman respectively? And do Bryan Singer and Christopher Nolan have any say of their vision of the characters? Not to mention the in-development WONDER WOMAN and FLASH movies. It's a complex matter but those questions apparently aren't being asked yet. Right now it's, "let's get a script and see where we stand after that." This is WB's second try at getting a superhero crossover film made after the failed BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN project. The studio brought the Mulroneys aboard after their work rewriting the MR. AND MRS. SMITH script (which also got the writing duo in tight with Brad Pitt). OK, now it's time for some feedback. Excited? Cautiously optimistic? Doubtful something of this scale could ever be pulled off?

Extra Tidbit: Kiernan Mulroney is the brother of actor Dermot Mulroney.

Technically this movie can be made. TECHNICALLY. Having continuity with previous films (Nolan and Singer's films respectively) is where it gets tricky and is most likely where the film will fail. Of course it could fail in other areas as well but how can you even add BATMAN to a JLA movie after Nolan's BEGINS? That movie is almost a friggin crime drama!! As much as I'd like to see this happen I think the best way for this to get done is create it as CG flick like you guys already said. Who knows? Maybe years from now this could really be something but as of right now it's very iffy. Now an ULTIMATE AVENGERS movie on the other hand....Actually that probobly wouldn't work either. By the way LALEX81, aside from UWE BOLL directing this movie that would probobly be the worst idea for this franchise that anyone could come up with.

CG
Sound like a perfect opportunity to wast my time on a CG movie. There is NO WAY that they would get the current actors to play their respective role in a JLA film. If its gonna be soon, its gonna be CG.

I'm doubtful that anything of this scale could be pulled off well, but I would love to see it happen.

The only way I could see this movie working is in a "Giffen & diMattheis" version of the JLA. For those of you unfamiliar with the comics it's basically a spoof of superhero groups. A bit like Mystery Men

With this casting:

Pierce Brosnan: Maxwell Lord
Sean William Scott: Booster Gold
Jake Gylenhaal: Blue Beetle
Fire: Eva Mendes
Ice: Elisa Cuthbert
Mr Miracle: Mark Ruffallo

Directed by EDGAR WRIGHT and you Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as the villains.

WTF!?!
Of course this movie could be incredibly cheesie on an enormous scale if it's done wrong (which it most undoubtebly will be.) But, being a gigantic fan of both the Marvel and DC universes (mostly Marvel...Spidey all the way!!) since I was four, I am super excited. Here's who should star:
Superman - Brandon Routh
Batman - Christian Bale
The Flash - Ryan Reynolds
Green Lantern - James Marsden
J'onn J'onzz (Martian Manhunter) - Doug Jones
Wonder Woman - Kate Beckinsale
Aquaman - Peter Weller
WAIT!!! What the hell am I doing!?!
Of course this movie won't be made, so why get my hopes up? The only way it could possibly work is if it's completely CG. Damn!

DIFFICULT
I think making a movie on the JLA would be difficult unless you have directors like Bryan Singer and Christopher Nolan on the job.

The problem is that there are too many 'big' characters and how are you going to showcase all of them and give them the right amount of screentime without pissing off anyone?

However there is hope since Bryan Singer did a good job with X-Men and it's A-list stars though a few, like James Marsden, really took a back seat.

I can just see this turning out like Fantastic Four. A boring movie where not much happens but it attempts to be "cool" for young teens. No offence, but I doubt this will turn out anything like I hope it will.

PFFT
I am so unenthused by this it should be a crime. Call me jaded, but I am one of the legion fans of these characters and its all stacked wrong: Nolan and Singer are taking their franchise characters VERY seriously (not to mention Bale who takes everything seriously) so either the two lightning rods of the JLA would be absent, or we get some kooky movie 'elseworlds' situation with an alternative Batman and Superman, which is just TOO confusing for the moviegoing public. So your movie studio accountant goes pop and the whole thing deflates into sticky 'I blame you/no I blame you' goo. It wont happen .
