oh Gaith, I always smile when I read your replies.
Clearly then a shared super-hero universe movie is not aimed at you.
As a long time devour of comic books, especially DC Universe titles, a Justice League movie done right would rock my world!
I don't think Batman should exist in a universe with other superheroes, because such company makes him look like less of a freak.
Batman is not about being a Freak. It is about a man driven to extremes, a man trying to save others where he could save his own parents, a man who walks the line hunting monsters while trying not to become one. The Batman in the movies (both Burton and Nolan) is not the Batman of the comics.
And the very fact that Batman, a man who's only real super power is his highly disciplined and trained mind, can go toe to toe and defeat some of the most powerful villains in the DCU makes him even more fascinating and compelling.
- For that matter, I'd be fine if Supes didn't, either.
The dichotomy between Superman and Batman is one of the great relationships in DC Comics. Complete opposites in almost every way, and yet they share a great respect and friendship for each other. It is their interaction with each other that makes for great drama, not the vast differences in their abilities.
More over, Superman is the symbol of the DC Universe. He is the inspiration and role model for all the other DC Heroes, so I think that aspect would be really interesting to explore on the screen.
I think the Lanterns' obsession with colors is silly.
The Lanterns are not obsessed with colors. Green just happens to be the color that Willpower manifests itself in the visible spectrum when channeled through a power ring.
I'd rather see WW fight Nazis than hang out in el presente.
uh.. Wonder Woman has not fought Nazis in almost 80 years? LOL! Seriously though, WW holds a very special corner in the DC Universe, essentially having epic greek mythical adventures in the modern world. The current run and the introduction by George Perez in the late 80s is amazing reading.
And, finally: we already have the X-Men and Fantastic Four as well as the Avengers for super-teams.
Isn't that kind of like saying we shouldn't make any more Cop shows or Doctor shows or other type of genre movies because it has already been done? I think so long as comic books are done well, they can keep on making them right along side all the other dramas, comedies and action movies.
what would a JL movie do that the MCU isn't, besides grouping characters that I'd rather see exist independently? Fight aliens? (Join the club.) Be harassed as vigilantes? (Post-Incredibles, that's been done to death, hasn't it?) Fight Lex Luthor? (Oh, c'mon - he can take on all of them?)
Again, it is the same question as before, if one cop movie is about fighting drug dealers, does that mean a different movie can not tackle the same subject? That is silly. It is not about the subject matter, it is about how it is written, directed and acted. The Justice League has been a comic for over a half century, I think there are lots of stories that could be adapted or used for inspiration. I mean if you are going to get these many heroes together, of course the threat has to be something epic. But what would really make or break a JL movie imo, and is something the Avengers did so well, is exploring how these character interact with each other, how their personalities clash or support each other. That is where the drama lies. The villain is almost secondary.
And yes, Lex Luthor could easily take on the Justice League by himself or with his Legion of Doom, he has done it several times.
But again, a Justice League movie, or any comic book movie, is aimed at a particular segment of the movie going public. Some characters/concepts/teams have a wider appeal than others. And there will always be a certain audience segment that either will have no interest in such movies or will not give them a fair chance. But that does not mean they should not be made.
But I have gone absolutely and completely off subject and I apologize.:-(
This thread is about the very cool and well constructed fan trailer created by SuperboyX.
I think it is an amazing piece of fun editing that creates a clear and coherent narrative. I look forward to see what he does next.
