@SandMan_: They had their chance during that time. Joss Whedon was all ready for doing a Wonder Woman movie, and Flash and Green Lanterns were on the back-burners at the time. Why they didn't do anything about it then was stupid to me. Returns was garbage. Singer's heart was in the right place, but trying to continue a franchise that died decades ago was a stupid idea from the get-go.
Wonder Woman- I'm not sure yet. If Gina Carano (sp?) could act, she'd be the ideal choice.
Green Lantern- Nathan Fillion
Flash- My heart says NPH, but my brain says he's too old. I'm not sure yet.
Aquaman- Alexander Skarsgard
Martian Manhunter- Djimon Hounsou
I agree with the majority of this with my only exception being on the identity of the Flash. As for Green Lantern, I wouldn't mind giving Reynolds another shot.
If it's Barry, Bradley Cooper, Wally should be NPH.
Ah, Bradly Cooper would be a good Flash. NPH is waaaaaay too old to be Wally though, lol.
Yeah, I would love to see a realistic take on Flash, Wonder Woman and even Green Lantern. I imagine, Green Lantern could be really interesting if its done the prometheus way.
Now you're talking! What they can do with Oa and the Guardians would be mind-blowing. Even the Speed Force would be interesting as hell to watch if they took it in the serious direction. Wonder Woman would also be the kick-ass warrior that she's supposed to be.
Of all the JLA members, though, the ones who would be the most interesting to see in this direction would be Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter. Just imagine the things they can do with Atlantis and Mars.
@Lvenger: I don't see why he wouldn't be involved with the Superman franchise, so long as MOS is a hit. According to Snyder, the whole thing was his idea from the start. How that'll effect a JLA movie is beyond me, though. Marvel's approach with Thor was... odd. In the solo movie, Thor was all mystical, but come the Avengers, the dude's more of an alien than anything. Then, with the rumors that the whole sequel will be set in Asgard or the "Dark World" has me thinking that they'll go back to fantasy again. Not that I'm giving Marvel a hard time, Thor's a character that I'm still surprised that they made work.
@Lvenger: Oh, I'm not sure if Nolan digs the idea of the JLA at all. He said plain and simply that he's not involved with that project whatsoever. That kind of bums me out because if they take this "realistic" approach and tone that they've been taking with Batman and now Superman and apply it to the rest of the Leaguers, it would be a) different from the "fantastic" Marvel characters, and b) make for a damn interesting world for the DCCU.
@SandMan_: What can I say? In my opinion, WB was too busy with its Harry Potter franchise to even think about their goldmine of DC characters. Now that Potter's all said and done, they have nothing better to focus on, so I guess they're just making up for lost time now. They should feel stupid, because Marvel Studios, a completely tiny and new movie studio, managed to build a damn empire with a character that nobody outside of comics cared about. Flash forward to 2012, and Iron Man is a household name and one of Marvel's most popular characters on (arguably) the most popular superhero team since X-Men was in the 90's and early 2000's.
