I too would like to see a Justice League!!!!!!  Do the build up right and then make it!!!

Problem is that would take DC actually getting their act together and figuring out how to intertwine their movies. And get people who can actually make good movies. Problem I see now is Superman Returns and the Green Lantern were not great. And the Batman films though good I just can't see that universe that's based on a realistic reality of high concept technology (and not superpowers or aliens) working with the other DC universes.

     Personally I enjoyed "Superman Returns" although I admit it was more of a homage (spelling?) than a real sequal.  I mean it takes place after "Superman II" but it really just hits the notes of the first film and kind of branches off slightly.  But still I liked Routh's portrayal of both Clark and Supes and I thought the special effects were great.  I got chills during the scene where he saves the plane and sets it down in the baseball stadium and the crowd cheers for him.
     Green Lantern ... ehhh ... I did'nt despise it.  Thats about the best I can say of it.
     I do love the Batman films, but I agree with Sheppard, they are too *reality* based for a Justice League film.  Still, one can dream.

Yeah, I enjoyed "Superman Returns" quite a bit too.  One of the troubles for a JLA film is I think the characters are harder to pull together in a way in just a single film since the team is really so powerful.  But for now, my hopes are with the Avengers.  I've heard if the movie does well, Joss wants to do another one and make it more character centered and a smaller type of film.

I'm in the enjoyed Returns boat too. I really enjoyed it. It was truly in the spirit of the other films and that's probably why other people didn't like it. It's one thing to remember something as fantastic, but to see it years later and it not have that same feeling kind of colors things.

I think the nostalgia and new were in perfect balance and kept the core of the character together. The acting was also great.

As for a JL movie. I don't see that happening any time soon because of the number of people that would need to get paid to get it out.

I didn't dislike Returns, just found it lacking.  I think the next Superman film needs to feel like a movie made for 21st century audiences, not like something that could have just as easily been made in 1983.

Can't believe the Avengers film is opening so soon.  They're really marketing the heck out of this...four separate Avengers titles in the comics, Avengers mini series,  plus a huge crossover "Event" title starting next month called Avengers vs. X-Men.

I'd like to see that too, yet have to agree  that it just doesn't seem possible right now. So for now -- Avengers Assemble!

Japanese trailer with lots of new footage and scenes.  Don't worry, it's mainly in English.  Really love the feeling this trailer brings out.  Awesome stuff!

After the "John Carter" fail, Disney is just as eager to release this one, I'm sure.
