Justice League
Justice League has been shelved…
WB Studio made the announcement last week. DC is not ready like Marvel is to do a movie with huge iconic characters. DC and WB are in discussions and see when it can be made,but not any time soon.. Green Lantern movie is a go and WB and DC are worried, that if they make a Justice league movie, what impact would it have on the Batman and Superman Franchise. Justice League unites Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Arrow, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter, would need to be a huge movie and a history of these character must be told prior to this movie being made.
To put it simply: the studio doesn’t want to piss off the Comic-Con contingent.
“We’re not off the notion of a Justice League,” [Jeff] Robinov says. “There’s a massive interest and knowledge in the comicbook industry and it takes time to sort of catch up and understand the characters and the history, where they’ve intersected with each other and what their worlds are. That’s part of the education that we’re going through.”
“These are big, iconic characters,” [Greg] Noveck says. “So when you make them into a movie, you’d better be shooting for a pretty high standard. You’re not always going to reach it, but you have to be shooting for it. We’re going to make a Justice League movie, whether it’s now or 10 years from now. But we’re not going to do it and Warners is not going to do it until we know it’s right.”
So basically, ‘let’s not f**k anything up’ is what he’s trying to say.
WB head Alan Horn admitted, “If you do it wrong, you’re dead, you’re out of there.”
DC doesn’t have a separate film division the way rival Marvel does, which is moving forward with an “Iron Man” sequel and adaptations of Thor, Captain America and the superhero team-up The Avengers for 2010 and 2011.
