they should just do animated films for the Justice League films and leave Nolan\’ Batman and Snyder\’s Superman the hell alone. The Avengers is doin live action so WB shouldn\’t attempt to copy their idea and just find ways to work around JL\’s film.

@g.louise
Agreed. Cavill has to step it up and be a huge presence not only in the film but while promoting it. I didn\’t read that EW issue but he has to make the best of his time at the spotlight. Do Kimmel and Fallon and be game to do sketches and the such.

I\’m wishing him the best but he\’s got an uphill battle.

He\’s probably going to have a lot of fun filming Supes though. All the girls in Sucker Punch seemed to love working with Snyder.

Before \”Man of Steel\” opens, we will know who the JLA Superman is and filming will be well underway. Before Cavill\’s movie even comes out, the hype will have begun to promote JLA\’s Superman. Interviews, magazine spreads, set visits, endless website articles by the new JLA Superman, all happening BEFORE Cavill\’s movie even opens. Can you even imagine? Cavill just had a bomb drop on his head.

Pretty sure no one is interested in employing Routh as anything in any movie. The guy is a Ken doll, not an actor.

Armie Hammer would make a decent Superman, but he won\’t touch that role. All the JLA actors and the Reboot actors will be constantly compared to each other. No actor with brains or any heat puts himself in that position. It\’ll be a thankless, low-paying gig to anyone who ends up in either the Reboots or JLA. Poor Henry Cavill has just been blindsided.

I think they could get Routh for \”hella cheap\” at this point, don\’t you? He\’s not exactly busy. If Hammer\’s interested, I think you top-line it with him, give him the biggest cut, then Routh, then go far cheaper on the rest of the cast.

Guys, the new JLA is going to be all no-names or dudes they can get hella cheap just like they did the first time around with George Miller\’s film.

Okay, can we start the Brandon Routh for Superman in JLA talk now? Why not bring him back for this?

Hammer as Batman and Routh as Superman would be a really solid start to a JLA movie.

Hmm…animated films?

Didn\’t Armie Hammer say they previz-ed the entire Miller film? Why not turn that into one of those direct-to-video DC cartoons?

I just wish there was more consistency across the board. It will be a bit weird to have different actors playing the same roles while others continue in their roles, it\’s disjointed I feel. I guess the fact that a JL film is coming should be good enough. I figured we wouldn\’t see one for another 6 or so years. However I do prefer the more seamless Marvel more.

Calming down now. Maybe the way forward is to look back.

So we get Bale in TDKR.
Then New Reboot Batman
and Michael Keaton in JLA.

Cavill as New Reboot Superman
and Tom Welling in JLA.

Reynolds as new Green Lantern (Hal Jordan version)
and African-American actor in JLA (John Stewart version)

That would cut down on confusion imo. JLA-world is then billed as \”What if Burton\’s Batman world got smashed up with Smallville\’s Superman world?!!!\” Snyder would actually be a better director for this world than the \”realistic\” Superman reboot world.

Maybe there\’s still a chance that Brandon Routh could wear the suit again! *crosses fingers*

wtf? That\’s going to be 4 or 5 Superman actors in about the same number of years. New Superman and 2 new Batmen (reboot and JLA)? That will kill all of their movies. Part of what killed the previous Batman franchise was turning over a new actor in every other film. Rapid churn makes it harder for audiences to invest in the characters. 3 picture deals or X-number of pictures per 10 years, seems to be the sweet spot. I guarantee that both the Batman and Superman Reboots and JLA will bomb if they carry through with this insanity. Warner GREED will kill the golden goose. They could pace themselves and rake in billions of dollars. Instead they\’ll flood audiences with multiple Batmen and Supermen (and Green Lantern! ) actors and turn audiences off all of their DC movies. Insanity.
