Movies and TV Justice League hopes to follow the Avengers success - Page 15

This is gonna be a flop especially since Nolan isn't involved, DC sucks anyways except for Batman. Just make a Secret Wars film then a Maximum Carnage one, the only thing I ever wanna see from DC is Batman, maybe this if they could get it done right now but for the most part, all the Superman flicks have been a bust.

Does the upcoming Justice League feature film already have a villain lined up? Well, according to a report, the answer would be affirmative.

The folks at LatinoReview have learned that when Warner Bros. wrangles the heroes of the DC Comics universe together to hit the big screen in Avengers-like epicness, they will be tangling with none other than the durable, detestable despot, Darkseid.

While it is hardly a report containing much substance, Darkseid has always been the clear front-runner when it comes to the choice of villains who are powerful enough, recognizable enough, and carry the kind of gravitas necessary to be the main antagonist in an effort against the main lineup of DC Comics superheroes, headlined by Superman himself. (Plus, Tom Hiddleston was busy with The Avengers 2.)

What could this mean for DC's mega-team movie movement?

Marvel took things slowly, building their movie universe one character's film at a time, leading into a movie event with already established characters. However, with Justice League (depending on how Warner treats next year's Superman reboot, Man of Steel,) DC might be going into theaters cold, tasked with having to introduce EVERYONE in the team, including its new Batman, who will NOT be Christian Bale's moody, gravel-voiced version from the Christopher Nolan films. (And despite rumors, will also not be Joseph Gordon-Levitt's "Blake/Robin.")

Additionally, they would then have to establish the threat that Darkseid represents and explain his motivation. Such a task entails taking a radical turn from hero introductions on Earth, to the realm of far-away planets.

Created by Jack Kirby in the early 1970's, Darkseid possess immense power, both physically and politically. He's also a slavedriver who had his own mother murdered to gain rule of his planet of Apokolips, turning it into a dark, nightmarish world overrun by his Parademon troopers. He is a megalomaniac whose only purpose is to rule everything, notably the neighboring, idyllic planet of New Genesis. -- That was, until he discovers the existence of Earth and its array of costumed heroes, notably, a certain blue-suited Kryptonian.

That's going to be quite a task for a single film that will sell itself as a big summer tentpoll.

Justice League gets ready to dodge omega beams at theaters in the summer of 2015.

I'm not big on DC but he would seem like the most obvious choice.

Who else would be powerful or smart enough to require the entire Justice League? Doomsday, Brainiac and Lex Luthor come to mind but they may be saved for future Superman installments..

ThaVirus · 12-03-2012, 07:14 PM

Black Adam is another, I guess..

Maybe a team up headed by Lex Luthor? It would be a way to work in some lesser known villains like Deathstroke, Bizzaro, Gorilla Grodd, Solomon Grundy, etc. They could even use that as a way to bring the Joker back in..

All that sounds like a bit much for the first movie though.

Maybe build it up to like the third movie to whip out the LOD.

**007** · 12-04-2012, 02:39 AM

Is the movie going to be 4 hours long?

Chiefspants · 12-04-2012, 03:27 AM

Back to my original prediction, this is gunna be bad.

Gravedigger · 12-04-2012, 05:22 AM

Considering they only have at best one cast member on board with Henry Cavill, assuming this new Man of Steel movie is successful, I would hold off naming a villain until you puts some faces to the names. This all seems forced with arrogance, if Marvel did it why can't we!?

I'm with you on that one.

Deberg_1990 · 12-04-2012, 07:46 AM

I have very little faith in WB to be able to pull this off. Other than Nolans Batman, their recent Superhero history is garbage.

Deberg_1990 · 12-04-2012, 08:12 AM

I will add though, that im excited for Man of Steel and i truly hope Snyder and WB pull it off.

Christopher Nolan to produce ‘Justice League’, Christian Bale to return as Batman?

http://batman-news.com/2013/03/03/ch...urn-as-batman/

Nothing like a HUGE story to kick off the launch of Batman News 2.0. I can’t even believe I’m about to write this… but Warner Bros. is reportedly about to put some life into their failed Justice League project. We recently learned that Will Beall’s script has been scrapped, and they were going back to the drawing board. El Mayimbe of Latino Review is back with another huge scoop! According to El Mayimbe, Christopher Nolan’s new role at Warner Bros. is to oversee all developments of their superhero properties. Like he did on Man of Steel, Nolan will “Godfather” and produce the upcoming Justice League movie.But that’s not all…

Last May, Bale told Empire Magazine that if Christopher Nolan came to him with a good story, he’d be willing to play Batman again. The plan right now is to have Christian Bale reprise his role as Batman and join Henry Cavill’s Superman. Warner Bros. feels like their back is against the wall… and has to do something huge in order to compete with Marvel’s The Avengers. El Mayimbe suggests that a scene following Man of Steel’s credits could involve Superman finding a “retired” Bruce Wayne, and persuading him to join his “team”. If that happened, El Mayimbe says fanboys would squeal like 13 year old girls at a Justin Bieber concert… and I think he might be right!

Check out the video above for all the details and hit up Latino Review at the source link below for the full story. And for those who are skeptical about this report… Latino Review has been a great source of Warner Bros. movie news. They were the first website to report that Heath Ledger had been cast as The Joker and that Brandon Routh would be Superman in 2006′s Superman Returns. Do you like the idea of Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan teaming up again for Justice League? Or would you prefer Warner Bros. went a different route? Leave your thoughts in the comments below and stay tuned to Batman News for all the latest Justice League updates.
