You have a huge majority of fans who either din't want this movie at all, or want to wait and and tie it into the solo franchises and only a very small minority who would actually like to see this current version of the project go ahead.

Everything, and I mean everything we've heard about this movie, from the casting to the story has been shockingly bad, and it's shitting all over the current Superman and Batman franchises and not only could it prevent future movies involving Bale and Routh in their respective franchises but could kill DC comic book movies altogether.

Kill this movie!

Loved the OMACs though. Loved Common. Tolerated Brody. Everybody else needs to be shitcanned. Miller needs to be dumped too if he's stuck on that shitty cast.

In all seriousness, that is a good idea for Batman. The first rumors about the script had an older batman mentoring a younger Superman and Justce League. That would work fine. Supes doesn't age much anyway. We should never see a middle aged Superman unless they're doing an adaptation of Kingdom Come. Middle aged Batman, though, could be all kinds of awesome.

Before Justice League, make a worlds Finest movie with Bale and Routh. Do this movie after Bats 3 and Supes 3, providing enough time for WB to get Wonder Woman, Flash and Green Lantern up and running.

Worlds Finest is part test, part lead in for JLA. It's main purpose would be to introduce Batman into the larger, sci-fi world inhabited by the other DC heroes, and with Singers Superman to play alongside, it will take some work but it can be done, so that in JLA, when all the other heroes show up, batman won't look out of place. Worlds Finest is a way to introduce batman gradually to that world.

Then, when JLA comes around, Bats and Supes will have finished their solo projects and there will have been enough time for GL, Flash and WW to have at least one movie under their belts.

Martin Manhunter and Aquaman can then be introduced in JLA to spin off into their own movie later on. THAT's how you start the process of doing justice League. It's so obvious but instead of seeing it, WB are blinded by their need to beat Marvel, so once they heard about Avengers, they decided to rush justice league into production to get it out first, resulting in a movie with a terrible cast and a mediocre director.

I don't care what anyone says, Babe (and Babe 2, for that matter) had some great film-making going on. Happy Feet was a little out there for a kid's movie, but still worked for it's intended audience quite well. I was just a bit disappointed that it featured old, over-cooked, classic rock.

IMHO, if you feel negative about movies intended for children, only because they're kid's flix, then you're missing out. You can see some of the same-type of dynamic action shots in both Babe and Mad Max, if you're able to recognise them. Like the brilliant chase scenes. Yeow!

A reworked version of that story where the JLA were split up as people, with a Kyle Rayner and a Green Lantern running around etc with those fourth dimensional aliens

A slightly reworked version of Starcrossed, that JL cartoon episode, good way to bring hawkgirl and hawkman into the mix, have them revolt against Thanagar and join the league.

Justice - Huge and more like a second sequel but seeing the JLA in Armor, the MetalMen armor is just badass.

And Vern, yes there is a danger for the batman franchise...sure TDK will make lots of money but Nolan is still pissed at WB for going ahead with this Justice League farce and may not want to do a third movie.

Damn you Miller! Why must your casting skills be so shitty?? Onset of senior dementia? Too much hash?

Likewise Routh will never play Superman in a JLA movie because it's borderline right now if there will ever even be a sequel to Superman Returns, and many at Warners want to cut all ties to that movie in regards to the future use of the Superman character anyway. And as far as a sequel goes, Warners will only make one if Singer really wants to do it and can do it on a more reasonable budget and make it into more of an action film, and commits to do so within a certain window, if not then no sequel, and Routh's Superman career is over, which it more than likely is. Instead they will use the Superman from the JLA movie in a spinoff Superman movie, if the actor is well recieved in the role. That's the plan anyway.

As for Tom Welling playing Superman, again, never gonna happen, as not only do Warners not want to cross contaminate what they consider to be an all new property in JLA and a relaunch for many of the characters, with linking it to older properties, but Smallville's Gough and Millar have stated before that they consider Smallville to be a closed continuity and want to keep it that way. Also it has long been heavily rumoured that the final scene of Smallville has long been planned to be Clark finally putting on the Superman suit, and again I doubt they'd want to kill what the entire show has been leading up to (if they're allowed to do that scene at all by the time Smallville ends) by allowing Welling to play Superman on the big screen. Additionally once he played Superman that kills the show dead in the water, as he could never go back to "just" playing a non-supes Clark Kent on tv. Therefore, Welling, not gonna happen.

Personally I've heard the script is actually really good, and I also hear that the concept art kicks much ass as my former drama teacher is good friends with one of the guys who's doing concept art and storyboards on this (or at least was as of november last year). Likewise I think Miller is a damn fine director, though the casting is, largely, an unknown quantity at this point. Still I'm at least willing to wait and see something solid before I start declaring that it's guaranteed to suck. On the upside if this turns out good it's going to be lots of fun watching all the backflipping at least...

"Ill say the name and you say yes or no. Wonder Woman."

"Cough. Yes."

"The Flash."

"Cough. Cough. Yes."

"Snapper Carr."

"Hack. Yes."

"Where?"

"The wastelands. Looking for fuel..."

Robo-Routh is collecting permanent unemployment checks. He's neither talented enough, nor charismatic enough to have anybody want to hire him. He is dying to jump into JLA, just to get off food stamps. He would add a black hole of suckiness to the movie, but technically it could be done. Only the desire to keep Singer's stink from contaminating and torpedoing another franchise has kept this from happening.

A new actor as Supes might be interesting, if that actor weren't a latino midget.

A new actor as JLA Batman might be inevitable, if only that actor weren' a teenage giant.

I know you want your friend to get work or whatever, but there is no excuse for this cast.

WB later came out and said that Nolan was happy and fine with it all (and knowing WB, who never respond to anything unless there's some truth to it), but with Ledgers death and JLA up and running again, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Nolan didn't come back for a third film. Oh and about the whole cgi movie thing...uh, that was me. I sent in a fake report to IESB and Moviehole saying that JLA would be mo-cap cgi, and half the web ran with the story.

I was then going to reveal the truth to AICN, since you guys were the only ones not to be stupid enough to report it, but my computer crashed so the rumour just went on and on before eventually fading away. JLA was never going to be cgi.

...it. Aint. Happenin.

Talk to whoever you want. WB now realizes Miller, like Romanek on Wolfie or Vaughn on X3, got cold feet and was looking for an out. Once the stall happened, Batman took a priority, Superman was splintered off and look which characters you were left with - the ones Silver has the rights to. Wow. What a kowinkydink.

Justice League mortal sounds too comercialized. (Mortalllll Justicceee..!)Hopefully Marvel will bring out the Avengers, that's what I'm really looking forward to.

Norton was offered Hulk when Ang was making his flick and passed, so it's not about some creative outlet. It's about m-o-n-e-y. Norton gets better percentages from indie financed films like The Illusionist and a more flexible schedule.

What needs to be understood is that Marvel and WB are not making superhero movies with the same business model. WB is looking for one tentpole franchise to supplant another the following year and then rotate. Marvel sees each flick as a sequel to the previous because they will all inhabit the same universe. So Norton and Favreau are not planning on making a trilogy of Hulk and IM films, but a pair that could lead to a new deal for an Avengers movie. For the talent getting involved with Marvel, it's about job security - can I bank on returning to this character in a the next few years, or am I going to be like Maguire and Bale and have to plan my life around a studio gig? This is why there's a good shot of Damon as Cap - he won't be as locked down as he was with Bourne.

Look, I would love to see a great superhero team up movie...but these kids they've got playing the parts smacks of 'it's working on Smallville, so let's do it on the big screen'. And guess what? It looks pretty dopey on Smallville. See, what pisses me off is that they didn't let the Smallville guy BE Superman. I mean shit, he's really good at it by now, and he got the nod from Reeve a while back.

Sorry that Bryan Singer didn't have a man-crush on him, but the producers need to slap that kid around and tell him that IT MATTERS what the fans think. But by the box office I think he got it. Hopefully, he'll pull his head out of his ass and direct Superman 6 like X-Men 2....

George Miller directed Mad Max 1, 2, and 3. But, he also directed Babe. There hasn't been a balls to the wall action flick out of this guy in years...Has the pig softened the god of post-apocalyptic action? I guess we'll see. This has my money, because it's superheroes. But I'm worried about the children he's casting in these roles. (With the exception of Manhunter, who's pretty bad-ass I must admit). I don't know...

I just have this gut reaction to the Superfriends: The Movie that most halfway normal guys do...Yeesh, people are going to laugh this out of theaters.

My suggestion for this movie stands, put George Miller in charge of this thing, but do it Beowulf style! Because you change Batman and Superman between flicks, the moviegoing populace is going to remember that little gimmick from the old Batman franchise, and it's going to smear good comic films with a wide spray of shittiness. I don't want another Batman and Robin, though the evil dark heart of me would LIKE something truly shitty to make fun of again...I'm just not fired up to see a bunch o' kids playing superheroes that are traditionally adults. It sounds like George Miller's 'Justice Leage Babies' to me.

Also, and maybe it's me, but just one of those crystals grew that giant ass continent...but of course when the remaining six or seven got dumped by Parker out of the chopper, and then the entire plateau piece falls into the ocean...the crystals don't do shit do they? Or are we supposed to presume Supes got them all first? While he was simultaneously ignoring the kryptonite growing right at his face. Must I go on?

The krypton-crystals didn't really make kryptonite, they made 'pseudo-kryptonite'...So, whatever. The whole throwing a continent into space thing was a little weaksauce, but only because the major action sequences before that were so kickass. The plane scene was pretty dynamic. Throwing a big rock into space pales in comparison....Get better screenwriters, and that won't happen.
