Justice League Movie Confirmed

We all knew it was coming, but now it's official! See who's directing.

With Batman vs. Superman adding more and more characters (in case you haven't heard, Ray Fisher as Cyborg is the latest addition), it's obvious Warner Bros. is taking big steps to establish a whole new DC cinematic universe. Today the studio has confirmed that yes, they're going to create a Justice League movie! Speaking with the Wall Street Journal, WB's president of worldwide production Greg Silverman confirmed that Batman vs. Superman will lead into Justice League. As expected, Zack Snyder (Man of Steel, Watchmen) will direct.

No release date has been set and a script is currently in development. The website states it's "unlikely" the movie will come out before 2018. Additionally, they say WB has other DC/Vertigo movies in development that are not connected to Justice League. Shazam, Metal Men, 100 Bullets, and Fables were listed.

As for a potential Wonder Woman movie, there's currently no plans, but WB's executives are "warm" to the idea. Sue Kroll, president of worldwide marketing, added, "with the right script, that could be viable. The world is ready for her."

..I am happy a film is coming but depressed that in 2018 I will be 49 years old before I finally see some of my favourite characters. I love DC characters but as one poster put it, the stories are aimed at an older audience. I don't know of any kids my daughters' age who read DC comics but they all wear spiderman / Iron man gear etc. Marvel have stolen a march on DC which they will never recover. The characters are more relatable, have flaws and in some cases simply more "child like", or "child friendly"....DC have also spent too long pushing Batman and too long neglecting other characters. When they did try a second tier character, Green Lantern, it flopped.

Oh boy, lets just hope this time they get it right, don't screw up and put out some other good stuff. DC don't mess up, or its over!

@war_killer: Pretty funny...and yet so true and depressing at the same time for us Wonder Woman fans :(

I'm almost positive that she'll get her own solo movie after the Justice League movie though

I'm quite excited coz Zack has done a good job on the two comic based films he has done Watchmen and MoS. I'd trust him....I hope it's long too.I don't like movies with a huge cast that are 2 hours long. If MoS was 2 hrs 30+ minutes , then J.L film has to be knocking close to the 3hr mark that is no less than 2hrs 45mins. A good villain too , I want a trilogy so first film can have Vandal Savage and the Injustice league, the second film can have Felix Faust or Wotan and some demon hordes and the 3rd Darkseid allied with Brainiac (the Smallville model of Brainiac)

Why the hell would Cyborg be in Batman vs Superman? I trust Snyder as a director, but now is the time when I say that WB is throwing too many freaking characters into this thing.

is he in it as cyborg, or just a cameo as victor stone football star

Well, they already have my favorite member Cyborg, and I'm hoping they will keep my second favorite member Green Lantern in it.

Er, judging by your username and avatar, shouldn't Shazam be your favourite?

I'm glad they aren't rushing this at least. 2018 gives them some time to develop a good story and find the right cast. I hope they don't just cut and paste the new52 Justice League, though. They could do some really cool things with other classic characters like Martian Manhunter, Zatanna, and the Hawks if they wanted to use them.

...

WHAT?! REALLY?! HOW?! HOW'D YOU DO IT, DC?!

HOW'D YOU MAKE ME NOT-HYPED FOR A JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE?!

We're talking a team-up of some of the biggest, most iconic characters in comic books. Superman. Batman. Wonder Woman. Flash. Green Lantern. Other people. This is an event of legendary proportions, that should be discussed in hushed, reverent tones of hope and excitement. I should have seen this thread title and thought, "OHMYGOD YES!" Instead, I saw this and thought, "Really?" in a tone of depressed resignation at the inevitability of it. Not excitement. Not hopeful. Just depressed resignation.

Congratulations, DC. You really aren't given enough credit. It took genuine effort and skill to do the impossible, but you did it: You have completely broken my faith in you, and I didn't even realize it until you gave me news that should be some of the most joyous. You've got roughly three to four years to turn this around, DC. I sincerely hope you do.

This movie is planning to be released in 2018 (the earliest). 4 years is rushing?

That's just absurd.

Go Defenders!

Fixed :)

So when they say Metal Men and Shazam are separate from the Justice League, does that mean they are set in there own universe? Because I honestly don't see them fitting in the MoS universe.

Also since there was no mention of Del Toro's Justice League Dark movie I take it that's scraped? I was looking forward to it the most.

@billy_batson 100 Bullets movie doe

Are they making a Defenders Movie? I would love to see a Dr. Strange, Iron Fist, Namor, and Hulk on a team. Hulk and Namor will be epic together!!!

Has it ever dawned on anyone that DC may very well have their game plan set up. Marvel has pretty much put all of their main characters into the cinematic universe; many of which has flopped i.e. FF, The hulk, Daredevil(Many of you Marvel fanboys is downing the DCU). Anyway, by the time Marvel has all of its heavy hitters out of the way, DC will have taken full advantage and explode at the box office. I mean Spiderman can't keep making movies. Well, I'll bite my tongue on that one(batman). And Unless Marvel does the Crossover approach, they really don't have anything else to look forward to. Nothing I can think of anyway. DC has the Justice league, JLA, JLD, Teen Titans, all the solo projects. Stuff people are familiar with. Sooner or later, the sun will go on Marvel.

This will be good, Snyder doing it? I'm excited :) screw the haters...

Hope he puts the action scenes in Avengers to shame, which I'm sure he will since MOS's action scenes were awesome.

If they make Shazam even close to the new52 version or the version seen in Justice League War... I'm not interested. Like, at all. They've ruined the character completely.

How can something be both delayed and rushed at the same time? And the terrible casting choices is your opinion. The only choice I'm iffy about is Eisenberg.

Lex imo is going to be the Loki of the DC universe, he's going to appear in so many of these movies. That's why this casting was the only one that hurt me personally cus Lex is my favorite character.

@jphu8414:

Because i'm not a delusional fanboy. The problem with Gal isn't that she isn't well known it's that she can't act. Henry Cavill was unknown but people in hollywood knew what a talent he was, same with Hemsworth. They were just waiting for the major role that gets them known. Gal has shown her acting talent before she has no acting talent. She's an underwear model who can't act no one was banging on her door to be in a movie because they were smart enough to know she can't act. But you know Snyder make risky out there castings just for the heck of it even at the expense of the movie. He will make MOS 2 even more crap than MOS and i though atleast Justice League would be good since i figured they would get Affleck but no Snyder is directing again so Justice League will probbably be crap too. I can't wait to see Michael Cera as Joker. Jonah Hill will make a fantastic Green Lantern. Sorry i can't be a biased fanboy. I love DC characters i grew up on them and yet Snyder likes to freaking ruin them we will never get a good DCCU as long as they keep using him.It will be terrible movie after terrible movie with terrible casting after terrible casting.

@fps_dean: @jphu8414: I didn't say anything Gal being a bad actor, I just think she was a bad casting because of the amount of experienced great female actors that wanted to play Wonder Woman were ignored by WB for Gal Gadot who is a gamble. I'm rooting for her but I have low hopes.

Why don't you think DC knows what their doing? We haven't even heard their plans yet.

@thewalkingdeadpool18: @knightfall225:

How can you guys say Gal Gadot is a bad actor if she hasn't even been in that many roles? Where you are you getting your judgement and criteria from?

An slightly more inexperienced actor does not equate to a bad actor, jeez

I'm actually glad they cast a relatively unknown actor for such an iconic character as Wonder Woman. Gal has expressed that she's very excited for playing the role and seems very dedicated as well. Give it a chance people.

@the_stegman:

Well Gals terrible too but the universe is what their rusing at with the amount of shoehorning that will be in this movie.

Oh, come on, Gal is not terrible. Frankly, I can't say anything about her one way or another. I haven't seen her in anything except Fast and Furious, and since she's a supporting character, there wasn't enough to determine her acting credentials. And what are they shoehorning exactly? Batman was a given every since we saw the Wayne Industries satellite in MOS. Luthor is a given since he's Superman's main foe. Wonder Woman? Cyborg? We have no idea what capacity they will be in this film. For all we know, they both could just be minor characters to set up future films, like Black Widow's cameo in Iron Man 2 or Clint Barton's cameo in Thor.

We know almost nothing about this film, yet people are instantly judging it and whining. Sit back, relax, and wait for it. If it's good, it's good, if it's bad, it's bad. Complaining for 2 years isn't going to help.

He doesn't have the acting talent either. He is the definition of a one note actor. He plays the same character every role even when he's not suppose to. He has no range he can only play the studdering fast talking loveabale nerd and they get him to play the most layered villian in comics? Ones whose so suave and charming that he could convince you to kill your own kid but also can be menacing and downright terrfying. They get the most one note actor out there's whose one note is the exact opposite of Lexs personality? Are they that freaking stupid? It will be a trainwreck.

I love how no one besides myself and maybe a small,small group of others gets that it is not DC who makes the films, but WARNER BROTHERS!!!!

DC really needs their own Live Action Movie Studio, instead of having Warner Bros. do all of their movies, because clearly they have no idea how to handle a Cinematic Universe.

@thewalkingdeadpool18: Jesse has the talent to pull it off. He is by the way an Oscar nominated actor. He may not have the build and voice that we are used to Lex having , but Eisenburg can surely pull off the stubborn LexCorp CEO. I was against the casting as well until I Looked at the pros instead of the cons of the casting.and Affleck will do fine

I though Thor the Dark World was a piece of crap kids comedy but it was still better then MOS. MOS was just such a terrible movie it's unreal. It had so much potential too. Just like MOS 2 but apparently an idiot is making the casting calls on it. The thing is if everything else about MOS 2 is great it can't make up for terrible casting. If the cast is as bad as everyone suspesct the best the movie can get is like a 7 because acting goes FAR.
