hello friends

which one do you want to see Batman year one live action movie?
or a Justice League live action movie? I say a Justice League live action movie because there was a justice league live action movie. but it was never made. and Justice league was never on the big screen. if x-men and spiderman and the rest of the marvel comic heros can be on the screen so can justice league can be on th screen. :) batman has 4 live action movies.

Given the choices above, I'd have to go with a live-action Justice League movie. I don't understand why the creators want to go back to Batman: Year One after having established a franchise that has left many open-ended questions, i.e., can Bruce and Dick continue to co-exist, will romance develop between Dick and Barbara, etc. Now, if we're talking a new Batman movie in the present continuity, then I'd select that over JL.

Definatly Justice League! They already came out w/ 4 for Batman. Why don't they put the spotlight on the Justice League foa while?

Batman. I want the entire franchise rebooted. Those four movies were awful.

And I'm not sure if you guys are aware, but with the way Hollywood is trying to destroy the Superman movie, I can't see why they wouldn't try to slaughter the Justice League. At least they seem to respect Batman (although with the way they chose to portray the Bat-villains, you really wouldn't know it.)

I choose Batman. I can't believe I am, seeing as how I agree with the consensus that Batman already has an insane amount of over-exposure and is ridiculously over-hype, but I am still voting Batman, on the conditions that it is good and not infested with Hollywood's takes on characters completely untrue to their comic book counterparts.

Give us something good, or don't give us anything. Save everyone the embarrassment.

If Hollywood was concerned with embarrassment, it wouldn't exist in the first place. And as far as the audience being embarrassed, that's never a concern. No matter how bad probably most of the people at this messageboard believe the recent Batman movies were collectively, they were pretty popular and liked by more people than I can conceivably fathom without risking a serious case of acid indigestion. Besides, there were also 2 rather silly and disconcerting Batman serials (the 1942 version was extremely racist in content and tone) as well as the 1966 movie based on the campy TV show. However, it would be difficulty personified to ever come up with a better line for Batman then, "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb." (I know the feeling.) With all that being said, I would still pick a Batman: Year One movie over the Justice League. I see too many possibilities for the JL film to make me want to crave permanent blindness.

Excuse me, Kryptonian, but not all of the movies were bad. The first and third ones were excellent. Movies II and IV blew!

Half of Batman Returns was great-the Catwoman portion. Michelle Pfeiffer was spot-on, and the chemistry with Keaton was great. DeVito's Penguin was gross and not compelling, and Christopher Walken was kind of squandered in a underwritten role.

My worry about a Justice League live action movie is that there are too many characters to create a compelling story arc for a two hour movie. Remember, they will have to build and create a story for people who have never seen the show or comics. We all know how horrible Batman & Robin turned out with its parade of villians-and they didn't even have to waste time introducing and developing Batman or Robin!
