It's like I said earlier though. If the way you think it should be done is the correct way of going about the Justice League film what is the point in really making it? If it's only going to be focusing on Batman and Superman anyways and the other characters are just in the background just because they want to call it the Justice League what is the point? DC wanting to be like Marvel and try and make a film like The Avengers and hope that they'll make a lot of money off of it? To me that's just dumb and I doubt it would really work that well anyways. If they want to do that why not just make Batman and Superman team up movies and scrap the Justice League idea because apparently it doesn't really matter anyways? Either do it right or don't do it at all is my mentality on it.

Name of the Justice League movie revealed:

Batman and Superman and the Rest of the Justice League Second Tier Losers

RocShemp

That was offensive to many anal fans so it was retitled Batman & Superman: First League. Michael Fassbender was cast as Aquaman.

Marvel has had a comic titled Wolverine and the X-Men for a few years now. I am honest to gosh surprised DC hasn't come out with Batman and the Justice League yet.

RocShemp

You know that's actually the title of one of the early drafts for the first X-Men movie?

Mike86

Makes sense considering that X-Men (and X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand for that matter) are basically Wolverine centered films with the rest of the X-Men not seeming as important. Part of the reason why I don't really care for the original trilogy of those films and have enjoyed X-Men: First Class, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and The Wolverine way more.

JumpCutz

You liked the aformentioned movie more than Singer's X-Men 2?


Too be fair, I don't think any of the X-Men/Wolverines movies are great. A couple of good ones, but nothing mind blowing thus far.

taffer

You didn't like the original trilogy because it was too Wolverine centric, but you liked the two Wolverine movies because they weren't Wolverine centric?

RocShemp

That confused me as well. But I guess he means that the Wolverine movies segregate Logan from the X-Men and are genuinely his movies. By contrast, the X-Men movies masquerade at being ensemble pictures but are really Wolverine-centric movies where the X-Men guest star.

Mike86

Yep exactly this. I have no problem with Wolverine as a character being the main focus of his own films but the original trilogy in my opinion should have focused on the other X-Men more as well as him. To me they were too Wolverine heavy.

Tom Creo

I didnt like First Class because it was too Beast heavy.

Michael Corvin

Thanks for proving my point.

Solid Snake

You hate fur or carpets?

Maxflier

If the artwork from the Kevin Smith fan event or whatever is any indication then it looks like they are going to use the oldschool blue and gray suit for Batman.

Rob V

I hope they use the exact same suit Adam West wore... but with a massive cod-piece.

Tom Creo

Think they'll use the same muted colors as they did in MoS or they dark look of the recent Batman Trilogy?

The Valeyard

It's not. The images were created specifically to raise money and the brief was simply for the artists to respond to the Superman plus Batman notion of the next film.

Mike86

Okay? Why didn't you say that to start then?

Michael Corvin

I did:
You are under the assumption there is only one true & correct way to make a Justice League movie, and that is inherently wrong.

Why So Blu?

I think they will use a costume that looks similar to Superman's but with a darker color palette. It won't be a tactical uniform like in the Bale films.

In the case of the first movie, I agree to some extent, although Wolverine and Rogue serve more as an entry point for the audience into the film's world. Even then, you get some stuff about Magneto's experiences in the Holocaust or Rogue's struggle with her powers. The second movie though? I do think that one does broaden the scope quite a bit, you get a lot of stuff about Iceman's family, Magneto and his motivations, Stryker, and even some backstory bits for Nightcrawler. I think that the hint was that if Singer had stayed on for the third movie, it would've gone into a lot more depth about Jean's origins and her relationship with Cyclops (Though even in 3, we do get some stuff about her backstrory with Eric and Charles, etc.). Still, because he's obviously the most popular character, Wolverine does tend to get too much screen time, but I think that in that context, Singer does try to use him somewhat sparingly when he can, trying to offer more hints than outright explanations about him. There so many characters that many inevitably get lost in the shuffle though. Most of Magneto's henchmen-Sabertooth, Toad-pretty much exist only to be antagonists, Deathstrike is just a living weapon with no dialogue, and some of the X-Men themselves got pretty short-changed (Storm, and especially Cyclops, though I think they'd finally have used him if they'd gone through with the Phoenix story they way they originally would have).

Anyway, while I'm not exactly all that warm on the idea of Affleck as Batman, I'm more concerned about Snyder and Goyer. I was totally unimpressed with Man of Steel, and this time Nolan isn't even around as producer to buffer the excesses. The idea here-combine the two most well-known superheroes ever, who have a great history of cool teamups, and use it to lead into Justice League-is a cool idea, I'm just real lukewarm on the actual talent involved. Who knows though, maybe they'll learn from their mistakes last time and deliver a masterpiece. One never knows. Plus, they're shooting it near me, so maybe I'll be able to see some of that. That might be kind of cool. Doubt it though .

At least Nolan's idea for Batman's costume was to give it practical functionality. Since Superman is invulnerable to harm, he really can design his costume entirely for aesthetic purposes .

I misunderstood what you meant with your comment and don't think you proved a point and just glossed over my point which was that you want a Justice League movie that essentially is Batman and Superman centric with the others not mattering much anyways, so why exactly is it a Justice League movie? Also I never said there's only one way to do it just that I think doing it how you think it should be done seems pretty half assed.

I imagine they will go with the bulky costume from The Dark Knight Returns. It really looks nothing like the other Bat costumes. The design screams '80s fashion, so I wonder how it will be modified for the screen.

Please be the Arkham Origin's suit.
