Warner Bros. Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara and the president of Warner Bros. Pictures, Jeff Robinov, recently had some interesting quotes in Variety about the fate of the Justice League film.
“Further out, the studio’s planning a “Justice League” tentpole — encompassing DC Comics mainstays Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and the Green Lantern — on the order of Marvel’s “The Avengers.” Will Beall is scripting but no director has been attached yet.
Stakes are high for “Man of Steel.” Other than Nolan’s Batpics, Warners has not been able to effectively exploit the DC library. Its 2011 “Green Lantern” underperformed, and a “Justice League” film wouldn’t likely be in theaters before 2015, as Warner’s top brass has indicated that they are awaiting the results of “Man of Steel,” which opens June 14, before moving further ahead.”
I think they should develop several successful characters like Marvel did before even thinking about moving forward with a Justice League movie. What made the Avengers so big was that each of the individual characters in the film had had at least moderately successful movies of their own already. DC hasn’t had any success yet, with the exception of Batman. Without putting the work in, I can’t see Justice League being as big as The Avengers.
