Here are my thoughts:
Luthor as a villain. He can scheme something that will endanger the planet. I am sure he's capable of that. Alien villains can wait for later installments.
It doesn't have to be an origins movie. Just let people think that these are established characters who will come together to form a team. Batman and Superman are well known to all. Green Lantern movie sucked, but still people know his name. Animated movies have done a good job of showcasing the likes of Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter. We see movies about new characters all the time. They'll be fine without an origins movie.
All characters NEED to get significant screen time. It does not have to be necessarily the same amount of time, but enough to make them memorable.
No one needs to be the leader. Its just 7 glorious superheoes and none of them are amateurs.
Doesn't have to be called Justice League of AMERICA. Just Justice League will do fine.
Making characters like Flash and GL look good will need top notch special effects. Hopefully, they will not slack.
And most importantly, they need to make it like a DCU movie. Nolan's Batman is great, but other heroes do no exist in that universe anywhere. GL movie that came out had Abin Sur as the first alien to land on Earth. That will have to change. Superman himself is an alien and everyone should know that. And he definitely came to Earth years before Abin Sur. They need to sync everything together. That's something Marvel has done pretty impressively.
Choosing Hal Jordan or John Stewart will depend on the script I guess, They can go either way, depending on the situation they wanna play with.
Marvel's Avengers and X Men:First Class were great, but they changed a LOT from the comics, including the original team. In case of a Justice League movie, I'd want them to stick with the comics version.
