Both of Singer’s X-MEN films were made insanely fast and effects-heavy productions, so noone could make the argument that he wouldn’t have enough time to get em finished.

But then, I have no idea who the dude is, and neither do you, and I trust George Miller, who actually auditioned the guy, and knows what the movie is about, etc. He did a pretty good job choosing some nobody named Mel Gibson for Mad Max.

When they first started talking about this movie every blog said they were rushing it. Now it’s half a year later and they haven’t started yet, and every blog is complaining that there are delays so it must be troubled. There is no way to satisfy some comic book fans. Even if all you knew was that they were making a movie, and nothing else (which is just slightly less than what we know now), I trust you could spend the next 15 years writing non-stop about what they’ve done wrong so far.

I don’t know if this movie is gonna get made, but I’m pretty sure if it does that it will be good and that none of you will apologize or admit how wrong you were. But I don’t care, I will be a gentleman about it. As the one guy who knew from the beginning I will personally autograph all of your Justice League: The Movie collectable dolls and pajamas and limited edition statues and what not. See you then.

Batman & Robin pretty much established that it did happen, badly, to the point that the Batman franchise had to get rebooted from scratch into Batman Begins.

The fact is, we want to see a JLA film done properly. We don’t need JLA to be a spinoff from the official Batman/Superman movies, we want to get to the point that key DC characters get their movies, then a Batman/Superman, then JLA.

While it isn’t our money, it is a waste of time, and I for one refuse to see another ‘Batman & Robin’-type of movie that nearly kill off a movie franchise and take years to repair it. Just do it safe: do a Superman sequel, get movies for each other DC characters, the plan just writes itself and Marvel is following with no problem.

But here’s the thing: I think Doug is shit out of luck getting WETA’s Wonder Woman outfit; he’d be hard pressed to get the suit for The Atom. This “announcement” comes in just after WETA’s involvement was announced. If the plug is pulled, that means WETA shot the project down. It may not have been the final nail in the coffin, but if it is so it is the last shovel to bury the coffin.

I’d much rather see a Green Lantern Corps film or a solo Wonder Woman film.
As would anyone else.

I think it is oversimplifying the situation by saying they “got a great director amd cast people that seem too young”. They got a good director who has made a few kiddie flicks in the last two decades and cast some people with limited experience and range, all while two charcaters within the story are in the middle of their own franchises that are completely out of continuity.
