Re: Justice League Movie- Release date ?
The Avengers audience was already involved with the characters for 4 years leading up to the movie. We knew who these people were (mostly) and were invested in their development, i.e. wanting to see Steve Rogers interact with the modern world, Thor's duty to protect Earth, Tony Stark become more responsible and altruistic, Black Widow whip out some titty, Hulk become more self-controlling, Hawkeye develop a personality, etc. Without all that sense of character arc, Avengers could have been just another Michael Bay-styled shitfest.

Even the other big event that usually brings a Justice League together, the tried and true alien invasion, may seem like a copycat of Avengers...

Adam West, the Batman of Earth-8, meets Michael Keaton, the Batman of Earth-45, and Christian Bale, the Batman of Earth-23.
A Crisis on the big screen could potentially be awesome, but anyone that isn't a comic book fan would be like "what the fuck is this shit?"
White martians would be cool and a way to setup Martian Manhunter. Or they could use Starro for another "what the fuck" reaction from the audience.

what other kind of event/bad guy can you do with a team like that doesn't seem lame? alien invasion like with darkseid seems like the only logical choice.

How about using Doomsday as the choice? Stretch that out like they did in the comics thru the various heroes in single films after the JL film and culminate it in the death of Superman in either his own film or in the second JL film?

Stretch Doomsday out through the single hero films, like have Doomsday fight Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, etc in their solo films and then have The Death of Superman at the end? That would get kind of monotonous seeing Doomsday as the villain in every single film, even more so than Luthor in all the old Superman films.
Something they could do though is set up Doomsday as a post-credit sequence. Remember in the comics how the last page of every comic leading to The Death of Superman showed Doomsday pounding away at his prison with the caption "Doomsday is coming!" and then finally he breaks through and it changes to "Doomsday is here!" That would be neat as a post-credit sequence.

I guess the other cliche they could use is for the villains of the individual movies to team up, like Luthor gathering them up and having that be the after-credits scene of each movie. But first they would need successful individual movies.

When I watch a regular movie I'm not thinking "Man, I wish they went into where this guy grew up and how he became a door man at this Manhattan hotel before he fell in love with that rich lady"

Re: Justice League Movie- Release date ?
I wonder though.. would a Justice League movie work better than a Superfriends movie? Is it better to have the Hall of Justice versus the orbiting space station? An alien invasion or the Legion of Doom?
Maybe LoD could work to bring the heroes together like fujishig said and then they can go one on one in their individual movies?

Hall of Justice.
As it stands this will already feel like it's ripping off Avengers. Having an alien invasion, ala Loki isn't going to go over too well.
I mentioned as much earlier. Despite the lack of major motion pictures, DC has done a pretty decent job keeping the major players in public awareness (animated shows, toys, coloring books, clothes, etc.) over the years. People already know who WW, Flash, Aquaman, Batman & Supes are. They don't need origin movies(or reboots) to do this. Any characters outside those five can be brushed upon in the JL movie like Hawkeye, Maria Hill, Fury & Black Widow were in Avengers.
After the Green Lantern movie it's probably best to ignore him until the stink of the recent movie wears off.

I don't think they would. Why do they need individual movies? Why not just introduce them in the middle of a plot? Most people are aware of the major characters, we don't need origin stories for every movie.

I'm still blown away with the thought that the Mass Public doesn't know who Wonder Woman is.

DC needs to get this chick to play Wonder Woman.
