Moreover, how it SHOULD be done, because I know better than other people.
So this past spring, Marvel Comics threw down the movie gauntlet with The Avengers. It went to show that while DC might get the occasional individual movie right, Marvel can make a massive comic book continuity WORK. And man did they prove the shit out of that sentiment, because Avengers was amazing. They took all the characters from their assembled films and got them to work together well on screen while also managing to put on an engaging story and plot.
So the question now raises itself: how can DC release a similar Justice League franchise? Theoretically, it should be a much easier feat than the Avengers - unlike Marvel, whose movie rights are spread across multiple production studios and the like, all of the DC Movie Rights are owned by the same studio - Warner Brothers. That means that they would be able to make any movie out of any character, merge them into the same continuity and not have to worry about copyright infringement. The question is simply how to make it work - and that's what I'm here discuss.
Restarting a continuity for several highly developed franchises (Batman and Superman have so many movies already, a reboot could seem jarring, particularly with a new focus on a larger universe) is no small feat. Working them into the same world along with a few relatively new worlds - specifically Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Aquaman - is something none of the previous DC superhero movies have had to do before.
But anyway - you probably don't much care about the technicalities of it all. You probably just want me to get to the way I'd do the actual movies, huh? Alright then. HAPPY TO OBLIGE.
This is going to be a multi-post thought string, with each post detailing a different movie in the "franchise" with my choice for actors, along with plot synopses and details that I would throw in to make the shared universe of it all clear.
So lets do it - JUSTICE LEAGUE AWAY!
