So yes, the news broke this weekend that director Zack Snyder will be delivering a full-fledged Justice League movie right on the heels of the upcoming Batman vs. Superman film we’ve all been hearing about for the last couple months. Indeed, we’ve been getting a steady trickle of casting rumors that suggested BvS is going to include first looks at many of the JLA characters we know and love from the comics, so this only makes sense. On top of that, we can all figure that Warner Brothers and DC really want to get their own money train going, just like Marvel. It remains to be seen whether Snyder is up to the Whedon challenge.
But now that we know we’re getting something, what is it we really want out of a JLA movie? Personally, I want to see a kick-patoochie Aquaman. And I want to see the TV incarnations of Arrow and Flash pulled in as well, since is already doing everything right on the small(er) screen. And I really want to see a fully-realized Hall of Justice.
But that’s just my two cents. What do YOU all want to see? Let us know in the comments, or on social media (@geekdads, facebook.com/geekdad).
No Ben Affleck.
Assume that we know the backstories of the characters rather than substituting individual backstories for actual plot. Superhero backstories are great, but there are too many to fit into a single movie here.
I’d love to see a movie where it seems those involved in making it had actually read and understood any of the comics upon which this movie should be based. No Parallax like in GL, no odd things for Superman like in the 80’s movies or Superman Returns, no slap in the face for those who are fans of DC comics. The animated moves are generally pretty well done, but it seems like every attempt to bring a DC hero to the big screen is just horribly done. I also agree that limiting the backstory significantly would help quite a bit. Avengers didn’t do backstories for its characters, JL should follow that pattern. 🙂
Wonder twins, of course!
Wonder twin powers, Activate! Form of slightly useful H2O based thing! Form of mostly useless animal!
A Guy Gardner cameo. Even better if he and Batman get into it a bit. “One Punch!”
I’d like to see them pick someone other than Zack Snyder…
I need a decent Flash, Barry Allen of course, with some super speed sequences. Small vile did a good job with young Flash, now let’s see him all grown up.
I want to see it pass the Bechdel Test.
(And Wally West is the best Flash ever.)
Modernized version of “New Frontier”. Seems as good a place as any to reboot a live-action DC movie universe.
