...with a cameo by the Wonder Twins of course. Oh for ****'s sake, can you imagine the horrible Jar Jar Binks-ness of the monkey? I should tell you though that I convinced my wife to tap knuckles and bring our wedding bands together while saying "Wonder Twins activate!" at the end of our wedding ceremony.

I'm going to take the pessimistic route on this one because what made the Avengers and almost every Marvel superhero a success is how they were all true underdogs who can relate to the average inferiority complex of real people.
DC and the Justice League, OTOH, come from the perspective of "We were extraordinary individuals who became even better!" Batman is really the only one who can relate to Marvel's kind of audience...but maybe Superman can have some potential if they play off the plot of Smallville. |

Marvel takes the guy who's below average and gives him power and then says "How would this guy react?" DC comics say "Somewhere we lost a step to Marvel. ALL OUR HEROES must have more power/abilities/strengths than them." You can relate to Batman. He's human, even if a ga-zillionaire. He's still human. Then...then it just gets stupid on the DC side...

They have some interesting antagonists like the Terminator, Blackfire, Trigon. I would prefer a Terra/Terminator teamup, but probably a better intro would be Trigon.

Are there actually fans of Wonder Woman (I don't mean fans of Lynda Carter's boobs - I mean fans of the WW comic)?
They've done a good job with Batman but most of the big DC names are just weak characters (I do like the Flash, tho). |

They should've let Whedon helm his "Wonder Woman" film. Given his penchant for strong female characters, I think he would've done justice (pardon the pun) to it.

It is too hard to do. To many charactors fill the same rolls.
Superman is practically a god, only krytonite,magic andhumanity can defeat him. He would equate to thor + ironman + hulk. That is a villian not a main good guy character. Batman = ironman Flash = tony starks wit, he is fast, but how would that help a lot on the movie and showing the blur? WW = female thor + black widow? = boring. Hawkman = thor Aquaman = hulk + posedian? MManhunter = also a badass This movie is just hard to make, they all are too powerful to just throw together. It works in comics and the animated series. But a movie? That shit will make john carter look successful. It would not even make the cost to film back with dvd sales. There only shot is making supes crazy and everyone else has to stop him, then find out at the end it was luthor and darkseid for a second movie. But again, to oneshot this withoutbuilding up he other characters will be tough. |
