On Justice League: my opinions on it were that I really wanted it to happen, as its purpose was great for it to exist: to be a springboard for future franchises to finally come off the ground. But the story, and how it was coming along, were a different story.

Don’t you just hate it when somethign comes up, and you know how to do it correctly, but you are in no position to go to WB and tell them? That was this. I KNOW what to do for a Justice League movie, and the sequels. And who to have as the superheroes. Same goes for Wonder Woman, and maybe even Green Lantern and others. But because I’m just an regular guy like everyone else, no one will listen to me.

Since “tabled” means “later or resting, not dead”, it is a good idea that WB is going to give JLA a rest before returning to it later on.

And that Wonder Woman thing is wrong, somewhat: there are writers doing it right now, and they did the positivly reviewed WWII script. And one of the brothers who did the Matrix films and Speed Racer had an idea on opening the movie, and that might signal one or both brothers being the directors of this.

A young cast to bring in the coveted 18-49 demographic along with cool CGI effects for everyone.

A simple,fun story that has the good guys fighting a main villain in Maxwell Lord and O.M.A.C. robots.

I mean honestly,how could that ever be good? It`s not like I,ROBOT or TRANSFORMERS made money that way.

Challengers of the Unknown. How hard would that be ?

Jonah Hex

Preacher”

Actually, there’s supposed to be a Jonah Hex movie and a Preacher HBO tv series in the pipeline, so they are developing some of those properties.

A JLA movie would feature the first big screen pairing of Superman and Batman plus the first appearance of Wonder Woman on the silver screen. With all of that going on, why would your goal be to use your first team movie as a springboard to get people excited about GL and Flash spinoffs? Two minutes of screen time for Martian Manhunter is too much, IMO.

Make the JLA movie part two or three of a the film series but start with Batman-Superman.

This sounded like it was going to be horrible.

WHY can’t WB get their show together ? It’s amazing how Marvel has kicked them around the block again and again and again and again.

There are dozens if not hundreds of properties that could not only be done, but done really well and do well.

and known of them with a higher than average budget

it’s sad

Jon Peters is the guy responsible for the mess behind the last Superman movie. Silver had no part in it.

I don’t know, the CHUD piece says,”… I briefly cornered producer Joel Silver …”

Oh man, can you imagine a Doom Patrol movie? That would be wild! And hey, Grant Morrison writes screenplays too…

I’d love to see a Green Lantern space epic or a mythological Wonder Woman movie. There are so many DC properties that could succeed as films.

The main problem, I think, is getting across concepts in 90-120 minutes that took months or years of sequential storytelling to build. That’s why the most successful comic book movies seem to exist in their own worlds, instead of fitting into established genres. When you start from zero with Peter Parker or Bruce Wayne and build up to the costume and villains, the audience is more accepting of wild ideas. So it might be a better idea to do more individual movies first before building to the Justice League.

There are not quotes, just the guy’s assertions.

“So, like I was there and heard the guy say….”

The SciFi story report says

Silver described the project as being “tabled for a while now,” but added that he is still determined to find a way to make it work. “It’s sitting there, and when I figure out a way to do it, I’ll do it,” he said.

That’s in reference to the WW movie, not the JLA movie.

I suppose it IS probably for the best.

It’s interesting that the basic Marvel/DC dynamic is the same even at a much bigger scale, with the former’s relative willingness to take risks, flood the market and service fans swamping the conservatism and inertia of the latter. We’re about to get a smash hit Iron Man movie, of all things. There’s no good reason why there shouldn’t be a competing Green Lantern space epic, or a Greek-mythology-laden Wonder Woman picture. If Marvel were running DC’s movie production, we’d probably have a Doom Patrol picture by now, and definitely a Teen Titans.

Warner’s culture may make it impossible, but they’d be well served to take a page from Marvel’s book (and the success of their own new Batman series) by creating a DC Studios subdivision with a freeer hand to develop pictures. In the time it takes for Warner’s to hem, haw, and finally decide not to make a Wonder Woman or Justice League because they can’t make it perfect, Marvel shoots five movies, two of which probably don’t completely suck–and four of which more than make their money back.
