Justice League Flick In Trouble

[RajWatts]

Has ‘Justice League’ Been Pushed Back to 2021?

‘Justice League‘ has seen better days. The film was put on hold and then the script was tossed in the garbage heap, all while Marvel moves full steam ahead on Phase 2 of the cinematic universe including, but obviously not limited to, ‘The Avengers 2.’ And now if new rumors are to be believed, Warner Bros. has put ‘Justice League’ on the way back burner. How way back? How about 2021?

Batman on Film is reporting a big update in the DC Movie Universe, even if there’s not much of a DC Movie Universe to speak of these days. According to their well-placed source, the ‘Justice League’ script was indeed terrible and was indeed scrapped. Right now the film is on hold until ‘Man of Steel’ hits theaters and very likely longer.

They report that if ‘Man of Steel‘ performs very well, Warner Bros. is content to let the Superman trilogy play out completely before rebooting Batman. That would mean the new Batman would be introduced in his own standalone movie in 2019. Then once Superman is established and Batman is introduced, ‘Justice League’ would be prepped for 2021. That’s a loooong way off but is it the right strategy?

It certainly seems like it. The site says that Warner Bros. is aware that hardcore superhero fans are very skeptical about ‘Justice League’ and really do want to make sure they’re doing this right. So all those fans shouting that they shouldn’t rush a ‘Justice League’ movie? They’re listening to you.

What this would also do is take ‘Justice League’ out of competition with ‘The Avengers 2′ and this is probably a good thing. But 2021, ‘The Avengers’ trilogy (assuming it’s a trilogy) will be complete and ‘Justice League’ can move forward on its own right without having to deal with the box-office comparisons to Marvel’s juggernaut (no pun intended).

It’ll be a long wait for DC fans but it does seem like the smartest move. Do you agree?

Gotdamn.... Yes sadly since a lot of us are extreme ballers and thugs, a lot of us wont be around to see this. We'll either be dead or locked up behind bars by 2021

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

They're not making it and I'm pretty much glad.

 

[Jello Biafra]

Warner is not going to leave the possibility of billions at the box office just laying out there till 2021. They will definitely not make the 2015 date but I am cool with that if the reason is to make sure they don't film a shytty script.
I would guess they will shoot for 2016 if Superman isn't a total flop.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

I think they've realized that the allure in Avengers was seeing all these established and successful film franchises come together. They need to be smart about this and actually establish a DC film universe. If Bale isn't going to be Batman anymore, then they need to reboot and develop a new one that can be a key player in Justice League.

With the way things are changing though no one knows what the movie industry will look like in another decade. Sounds risky when you know you've got money on the table

 

[NZA]

as risky as it is to wait this long, i think they do have to take their time and give the big three at least one good movie each (and i am not counting nolan's batman movies) before the JL movie.

I've said this before and I'll say it again.. why don't they just do this:

2013: Superman
Late 2014: Wonder Woman
Early 2015: Green Lantern
Late 2015: Aquaman (I know Aquaman isn't that much liked, but you could make a dope movie about him.. especially it being underwater)
Late 2016: Superman sequel
Summer 2017: Justice League
2018: Batman spinoff
2019: Superman trilogy

You don't need another Batman movie to lead into Justice League.. everyone knows his story, just introduce him again as a character that already exists in the JL movie, then introduce Flash and Hawkman or Hawkgirl in the JL movie as well. Martian Manhunter can play a Nick Fury type role by appearing in the 2nd Superman movie and the GL movie so that can easily establish his character.

WB really needs to hire some new ppl

 

[Kang Deezy]

They definitly need to step back and think this through

Rushing out a justice league movie didn't make any kind of sense

Follow the blueprint marvel put out there

 

[FredG]

O well hope im not dead before it comes out.

Late 2014:Wonder Woman pushed back indefinitely
Early 2015: Green Lantern Gets canned to develop:
Mid 2015: Giant Clusterfukk Crisis movie with a good base story but awful execution
Late 2015: Aquaman (incredible flop)
Entire universe reboots
Late 2016: Superman sequel (ANOTHER origin story)
Summer 2017: Justice League (batman dies at end...weird multiverse subplot subtracts from storyline)

Lol.. they can't get anything right except the Nolan and the animated movies

 

[Cat piss martini]

Marvel got this covered

 

[Grifter]

I know they still think of Wonder Woman as part of the Trinity but they couldn't even get the show to premiere what makes them think a movie will be a hit.
