I've been wondering about how the JL could fit in a movie on it's own even though I don't think anybody will make a good film about 7 Superheroes. But, if there was such a director and screenwriter, and the perfect company to make it, how would you interpret the Justice League into a Live-Action Film?

Couple of things to realize here, would you change any part of the origin, costume, personality, anything? Or would you keep everything fairly the same with a couple of changes here and there?

If you would like, you could go here (http://www.alexrossart.com) to find some JL pics that Alex Ross did. This is what they would look like if you wouldn't change anything. Based on this, do you think there should definitely be a change when translating a comic to film?

I highly urge you guys to post what you would think, seeing that there hasen't been any DC or Marvel movies in a while, I would like to see everyone's thoughts on this.

I'll be back to post my thoughts in a while, but in the meantime,

C Ya JL Fans :)

Alright, I just saw the Superman movie again, and I must say, I have a much different opinion on it, now that I've seen it again. For the costumes, I would definitely change them so it won't look corny. Just like that guy said in the movie when he first saw Supes, " bad outfit ". For the other costumed heroes that have been in a movie, I think we already know how Batman should look like. The costume in Batman/Batman Returns would be good for a JL Live-Action Film.

As for the other members, I think they can do fine just taking the costume from the comics and directly putting it to film without the costume looking corny.

Any thoughts?

I'd scrap the current roster and go with the original five members:


The Flash (Barry Allen)
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
Aquaman (Arthur "Orin" Curry)
The Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz)
The Black Canary (Dinah Lance)


And they wouldn't be called Justice League. They would be called The Justice League of America. After all, they are paying homage to The Justice Society of America, so why not keep the "A" in it?

I think using this group of characters would be easier than the current animated roster, or even using Superman and Batman. Knowing the WB execs, The World's Finest would get the most screen time, defeating the point of having a movie about a team. This would also be a great way for the public to learn about the other heroes that don't get much exposure...which is pretty much the whole lineup!
