Riding the PC train to death by using John Stewart..


by Kevin Church

So, the powers that be at Warner Brothers are in the process of making a Justice League movie, featuring all the big guns: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, etc, etc, et cetera. Now the problem here in many people’s minds is that it will confuse filmgoers expecting to see Routh as our favorite Kryptonian or Patrick Bateman as Batman. A reasonable concern, especially considering as how everybody seemed positively baffled that Smallville had nothing to do with Superman Returns.

Thankfully, K-DoG7p7 has a solution:

So.. the JLA movie is back on track and start shooting the first week in May. Yet not a singel fan of the characters are enjoying the news.. the closes i have yet to hear is “Ohh a JLA movie that nice.. but….” there is always a but…
Like setting the movie in an alternate universe then the other DC movies being made at the same time!, New actors for part that are already filled by other actors..Brandon Ruth is Superman, Christan Bale is Batman.. get it in to your heads!!
Riding the PC train to death by using John Stewart.. even worse is the fact that there is a GL movie coming about Hal..

Now if WB really wants a JLA movie and really want to NOT use the actors already playing the parts.. then I have a really easy solution..

MAKE ‘KINGDOM COME‘!!

you get all the major characters..
you get a good reason to cast different actors (as superman and batman are quite a bit older)
you get a larger cast and get to show off more of the DCU
you get to show the fans the true difference between Supeman and Batman..
Also…

Superman vs Captain Marvel!

so please WB.. can the JLA movie and make Kingdom Come instead!

That’s right – cast aside the youth-oriented summer blockbuster you’re making and instead use one of the most continuity-dependent comics in the history of the medium as the basis for a film where Superman creates gulags for his enemies, Batman’s turned Gotham into a fascist state, and Wonder Woman looks like the least successful M2F ever.

The whole thread’s pretty golden, so make sure you click over. Thanks to Jeff at Conditional Axe for pointing this out!

  1. To be fair, the thread does have the best pitch for a JLA movie ever, courtesy of Bog:

    “Wonder Woman and Zatanna are walking down a street when a horde of white Martians attack. W and Z fight the Martians for 2 hours. Once the invaders are all dead, the girls make out. Credits roll.”

  2. You know, if my son, my 5 year-old son, can comprehend the continuity differences between three different Transformers series (and the movie, which he hasn’t seen), I would hope the average movie-goer could figure out that JLA Batman is not exactly the same as Christian Bale Batman.

    OK, I realize that’s far too much to hope for.
