Back to JLA...
Wonder how close WB is going to cut a decision for a director to Summer 2015...
Just watched the BTS on Ridley Scott's Prometheus, and it was amazing to hear that even with the preproduction, there wasn't actually a greenlight for awhile- but when it got it, (according to them) it was a pretty short window from greenlight for a film that size to actually having to release it for theatres. (*Maybe it IS a good sign ultimately that MOS got extra time before release)
Hopefully they'll give whoever ends up directing it enough time to do a good job.... still would love to eventually find out the whole story behind Green Lantern's mess- and whether it really was the studio interfering (if so, may still be a problem for any giant summer film) or if it was just a director who didn't really get the character.
If it ends up being rescheduled for 2020, then 2025, etc.- though..... ugh.

I never thought of it that way.
We're screwed.

I find MI3 the best of the bunch by far for its intense, personal tone, Cruise's most emotional performance of all the 4 movies and perfect mix of drama, action and real stunts, instead of a heavy reliance on effects and gadgets.

That sounds fucking COOL.

I don't see it though.. I want Bruce Wayne to be Batman. I want to see that Batman/Bruce & Superman/Clark relationship on screen. I have no problem with Blake taking over the mantle.. But I thought that the Nolanverse Batman has nothing to do with the new DCverse that's going to be coming out with MoS and JL.
JGL would be fine in the role, but I don't know if I want his version of Batman to be in Justice League.

Christ--first cinematic team up of Superman and Batman EVER--and Batman is not Bruce Wayne? FUCK THIS. Seriously. As much as I like the Nolanverse and JGL, this would be an outrage! For such a legendary team up, suddenly Batman is some nobody character named John Blake that has none of Bruce's angst, none of Bruce's determination, none of Bruce's detective skills, none of Bruce's physical prowess, and none of Bruce's money--all because Chris Nolan says so? It's always about the friction between Bruce and Clark's different philosophies--it's so much more than just having a body in a bat costume.

Not to mention, it'll become a Batman movie with the rest of the Justice League as supporting characters, because they'll be working extra hard to establish JGL as Batman... Unless they somehow magically squeeze in another Batman movie between now and 2015.

Hmmm, I see the concern.
There has to be a way of having Bale in there too, but at this point, it would be to be executed in a way that doesn't cheapen the ending of DKR.

JGL's Batman could come across the main baddie at the beginning of the movie and get killed, making Bruce show back up to find the killers only to find out he's way over his head with them, so he gets together Earth's mightiest heroes and forms the Justlice League.
Thats the only way that it would work I think..

I wouldn't like it as well.. If you went that route it would just be another Batman movie, with other characters in it, not a JL movie.
I really hope that it is what it is, a rumor. I don't think it'll work having Blake as Batman. The first Justice League movie ever and no Bruce Wayne? It's just not right.

I was thinking it will work if they tie in Bruce as the inspiration for the forming of the JL.
Kinda how Brando's Vito's mystique hung over Godfather II without compromising story or quality.

I don't buy this FOR A SECOND.
But if it's true, then I'd be 100% in.
The first thing I said when I walked out of DKR was that I'd happily pay for a JGL Batman/Nightwing movie or tv show.

Thankfully it was just a rumour. It would have been a very bad move.
The idea of JGL as a Nightwing type character in TDKR is just as bad - poorly conceived idea.

It all depends on how it's handled obviously, but conceptually I have to seriously disagree with you.
I think it would be an incredibly smart move on WB's part. A serious tie to Nolan's movies would only help Justice Leagues chances I think.
JGL's rep has come out to say these rumors are false, but...Zimmer wasn't supposed to be doing MOS either.

Batman is so popular with the general public that a tie in to the Nolanverse is not necessary. Besides, just how would a JL movie be compatible with the Nolanverse? Nolan made a point of "grounding" the characters for his films.

Oh, I would love to see a JGL Batman/Nightwing movie as well, but that's not what we're talking about here. We've been waiting our entire lives to see Superman and Batman side by side on the big screen, not to mention with the rest of the Justice League, and after all these years, Batman is there, but it's not Bruce Wayne? Unacceptable! Like I said, I like JGL a lot, and I love the idea of him as some kind of new Batman/Nightwing/Batman Beyond type character, and would pay to see more BATMAN movies with him as this character. But to deprive us of the epicness of Bruce Wayne and Kal-El meeting onscreen after all these years because Christopher Nolan decided to "retire" the real Batman to end his trilogy... Ugh. It just pisses me off that we could be stuck with such a change for 10+ years of movies, probably spilling into comics even longer. |

And what of his scientific mind? What would John Blake Batman do when his equipment fails? What does he do when he has no idea how to maintain it, to fix it, to improve it? You're forgetting that Batman is a scientist, maybe above all else. To have this street cop become Batman is such a poorly fleshed out idea when you think about it. |

You're forgetting that Batman is a scientist, maybe above all else. No, Bruce/Batman is a detective above all else. All the scientific mind/equipment failure is what Fox is there for. John Blake is not my preference, mind you, but I don't think it's all that crazy. Especially it it's to be in the Nolanverse. JLA isn't a Batman movie, afterall. If it's not in the Nolanverse, then put whoever you want behind the cowl. |
