The man smuggled himself into Tokyo, leapt from a building to glide into a firefight and then “skyhooked” his way out of Tokyo. If Nolan’s Batman wouldn’t be the best onscreen Batman to toss into the Justice league, it may never come about. In these films, I feel like Batman is well represented for the first time in film. Like he would actually be a contributing member of the team, and not a mascot. That’s the line you walk when introducing the least powerful member of the team as one of its key players. I for one am not ready to wait around for DC to get their stuff together. I’d love to see a crossover between all DC properties leading to a justice league film, starting right after Nolan’s third Batman movie. His trilogy will be complete, and Batman can move to things on a global scale, instead of his localized struggle with Gotham.

This is actually old news. Roven was taken off the project when they were building up to the DC Entertainment reorganization. (It's actually mentioned in some of the articles last month, just not stated very clearly.) So this isn't a new change in the film's status so much as it is more information about how it got to the point we know about. (As for Goyer, his script was rejected years ago.) After Monday's article, current screenwriter Dan Mazeau wrote in to IGN to clarify that the movie is still happening, he's still writing it, and Geoff Johns is still involved.

Yes sir! Take us to warp 10! I loved the Flash series from the 90′s with Mark Hamil as the Trickster. Does his voice ring a bell? (Batman TAS)

Justice League without Batsey and Superman?!?!

Personally, I’d love to see Lobo thrown in the mix

The flash isn’t anything special IMO. They can take all the time they want because I really haven’t heard any major news about it.

If done right, The Flash could be something pretty special. The power of speed and how it relates to time, and the damaging effect on the human body has nevr really been handled well

(except maybe some Heroes stuff)

I like the idea of Barry living in a fast paced microwave society that has no time in the day, go, go, go.

Then the power of speed? He could do it al, starting with domestic advantages and eventually he realizes the larger implications. But all the while being a wise ass.

Nolan’s Batman flicks ARE NOT part of a larger DC universe, they exist in their own colourless buble of misery into which no hope or joy is allowed to flourish.

@ Andy S

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I love Superman and Batman.

It’s a simple matter of overexposure and a movie going audience that wants something new.

I agree Nolan’s Batmans have been quite good, but they seem disconnected with the rest of the colorful DC universe.

I’d love to see a Flash movie, but I don’t know why you guys are so upset about getting Batman and Superman films. Yeah, the last Supes was kinda lame, but the last 2 Batman movies have been AWESOME. Arguably two of the best comic book films ever made. IF WB keeps putting out Batman films like those, I’d be happy to see a new Batman film every 3-4 years. I also want them to make another Superman film and make it RIGHT. I love seeing Supes on the big screen, heck, I would love to see a new Superman filmed in IMAX.

Batman and Superman should be left to their own devices. The two monster franchises would overshadow any newcomers.

I think a justice league movie could work but without Supes and Bats.

A’la Avengers, start with solo films.
Green Lantern (in the works)
The Flash (In development)
Wonder Woman (as above)
Green Arrow (?)
Aquaman (?)

Then… have a justice league movie with all of the above, WITHOUT Superman and Batman. Perhaps others could be added Martian Manhunter, or maybe Hawkman.

I know… Bats and Supes were the leaders most of the time, how could they not be?

But I think Wonder Woman could handle the reigns,

or maybe Captain Atom oe Shazam?

Anyway, there are fans cringing at the thought of a Justice League movie without Supes or Bats, but those two are just too big for JL…

at least in Hollywood.

Can you really see Bale’s Batman fighting side by side with a brightly coloured Superman and Flash??????
Thought Not!
And with no new Superman flick on the horizon for some considerable time, and a Green Lantern film will be visually terrible, there is no way to do the comics justice without it looking massively ridiculous.
As long as Bale is Batman, every other DC property will be hidden behind his growling, murky shadow! Yet another reason to not make another Batman film!

I agree too, folks

Hopefully we’ll get our wishes with GL, Flash, Green Arrow and maybe Aquaman.

At least we’re getting that from Marvel and potentially Fox with their upcoming comic book flicks.

I totally agree with Pitt Man. Supes and Bats are great characters, but so are DC’s whole stockpile of characters that I’ve been reading about and seeing in cartoons since my childhood. All these explanations just sound like excuses to me. It doesn’t take a genius to put together a good film about a comic book character and Marvel has done the work of defining the model, so why not just follow suite? They just seem to be afraid of the risk.
