I don't think so, but that will depend on how well the Green Lantern movie does and whether it can generate the interest and success that Iron Man did.

Re: Justice League of America movie planned
At first I didn't like the idea of not having Supes/Bats in it, but then I got to thinking, what if they just appear at the end? Sort of like a cliffhanger or maybe not even. Just have the 2 of them show up from wherever the hell they were and just say "So what did we miss?" Roll credits. THAT would make me pumped up for the sequel.

If they appear at the end, it will show that the rest of the characters are worthless. What made characters like Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, Jonn, Hawkgirl, etc, interesting and essential to the Justice League is the fact that circumstances showed that Superman and Batman weren't enough when Earth was facing threats.

Re: Justice League of America movie planned
i don't see why they wouldn't be in there
Nolan will be done with Batman by the time this is gettin underway, get a new Wayne, Superman will be cast by then, then put him in there

Re: Justice League of America movie planned
I'd still see this without Batman or Superman in it, but I think it would be better (especially financially) if they put those characters in. I mean its going to be a tougher sell to a casual audience without them involved in some way. DC should really take a page from Marvel's book and build up the characters individually and their respective franchises, and then build up to the ultimate movie aka Justice League of America or whatever they want to call it.
I guess I don't really understand why Bale couldn't be involved as Bats either, it seems as if everyone here thinks he would need to be recast if they were to involve Batman in the film. The only thing I could see is if Bale didn't want to do it.

Re: Justice League of America movie planned
It would have to be cosmic on all levels. Yeah, it's great to see all these characters on screen - but again, you need to have some sort of story or threat behind them getting together.
So if leaving out two of the wild cards makes it easier, as well as keeps it in line with the actual origins of the group... then, hey.. why the fuck not?

Well, if we want to scream about comic accuracy and all that, the JLA didn't have Bats or Superman. And on a story element, how big of a threat would you have to create in order to have it survive a fight with superman alone, but be a threat to ALL of these super heroes combined.

Re: Justice League of America movie planned
That same line of thinking that Sony used when doing spider-man 2 and 3? The first made such and such, so let's double the budget and we'll get double the returns!
GL, Flash and Wonder woman are potentially going to make a lot in their own films. So having those three come together
Again, the movie quality is going to be bad if you don't have a good reason to bringing these characters together. It has ALWAYS been the problem with the comic book on a monthly basis. What threat warrants this much fire power?
They haven't gotten Superman right in the films because they fail to give him a threat that can withstand a punch from him. So you bring in this invincible man to a team?
And unless you have a successful Superman film prior to this, it makes no sense to lock yourself in on this one with him.
Batman's movie universe doesn't seem fit to crossover at this point. And if you can get 533 million for batman on his own, and 200 million for Superman.. and let's just say Green Lantern makes 200 million and 200 million for Flash
Do you think it's going to make 733 million more just because superman and batman are in it? You play your cards right and it'll be a good franchise. But blow your load early and then what do you have saved up to get people excited for the sequel and so on?
So, do tell folks - who should the JLA fight in the first film? And saying Darksaid would just be as silly as saying a Giant starfish in terms of explaining this to the audience. Let alone dealing with his Omega beams.

Of course, they are on pages three and four of that issue, basically saying "Call us if you need us."
But I don't think they're needed for a Justice League movie.
EDIT: Damn, I shouldn't have waited until after dinner to post my response.

Re: Justice League of America movie planned
This is why I dont mind the omission of Superman. During every conflict the audience is left thinking "Supes could take out [insert villain here] in a nanosecond." He has to be powered waaaaay down to make things even remotely interesting. And then your left with an underpowered watered down superman.

Re: Justice League of America movie planned

Back in 2007, Warner Bros. was moving full-steam ahead on a JUSTICE LEAGUE movie with hopes of getting into production before the looming writers' strike. Actors like Jay Baruchel, Armie Hammer, Teresa Palmer, Adam Brody and Common had signed on to star in the film that would follow a younger crop of superheroes (so as to not conflict with the more adult universes that Batman and Superman were filming in).
But while rehearsals were well underway, the script never got up to par and Warner Bros. shut the whole thing down in January of 2008. Now, three years later, it looks like WB is finally ready to return to the JLA.
Buried in an article about Jeff Robinov taking over as president of Warner Bros. is some word on what high-profile projects Robinov is planning for the future of WB. It mentions new BATMAN and SUPERMAN films in 2012 before a cryptic mention of "JUSTICE LEAGUE, a teaming of DC's top heroes, in 2013."
UPDATE - The LA Times was able to get Robinov to clarify and he said that after THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, they'll be rebooting Batman for JUSTICE LEAGUE. Asked what exactly that means, he said, "Chris Nolan and [producing partner and wife] Emma Thomas will be producing it, so it will be a conversation with them about what the next phase is." So perhaps the bigger news is that Chris Nolan will be producing JUSTICE LEAGUE, as they are producing SUPERMAN?
Were this from a producer or a star or a writer, I'd still be very skeptical because sometimes those people don't even know what's going on. But this is Jeff Robinov who has sole green light power at Warner Bros. and if he wants a JUSTICE LEAGUE movie, then so be it, he'll have his JUSTICE LEAGUE movie.
Of course it's not as easy as what Marvel is doing with THE AVENGERS. While that film will keep many of the same cast members from Marvel films over the past few years, JUSTICE LEAGUE won't get Christian Bale as Batman. And if they don't get Bale, do they keep Henry Cavill or return to a much younger cast?

They should keep Cavill. A familiar face to market (if the new Superman movie is good) and then cast the rest unknowns.
