I really love these “movie articles”, so much fun to read and play the guessing game. Naturally lately there has been much talk on the net about the JL movie, the plot and Darksied as the main villain.
I havn’t read Justice League of America #183-185 yet, but it sounds very interesting from your brief synopsis above. If there is any truth to this rumor, they may borrow the idea of Darkseid attempting to move Apokolips in Earth’s place. The Smallville finale had a similar beat.
Personally I dont think much of the New 52 Justice League. It’s not Geoff Johns best work. Especially issues #1-6 (hope that changes with the upcoming Atlantis crossover). So adapting that into a movie would really be nothing more, but a giant slugfest. But I see where your coming from with Geoff being the Chief Creative Officer.

Im not a big fan of WB following Marvel’s plan in making movies. Doing the solo movies, then “teaming” up in a team movie. Reason being, WB will seem as if they are doing nothing but imatating Marvel, but with their own characters.
The JL could already be an established team at the start of the movie, with a character such as Flash, Wonder Woman or Aquaman joining the team and becoming our gateway as an audience to the JL and the world they inhabit. Different from the Marvel movies, yet still accomplishing the same goal.

With Darkseid is the Big Bad of the DCU, and if they have the JL battle him right of the bat, what will they do for a Sequel? It seems really odd fighting Darkseid, then fighting the likes of the Injustice League, The Key, Starro or Lex Luthor for a sequel. This has been my only gripe with having Darkseid as the main villain. Then again, if they build to Darkseid in the sequel or threequel, they will again be accused of imatating Marvel. This is a tough one, sort of a “damned if they do, damned if they dont” situation.

As for everyones favourite Flame Head, Firestorm could easily be a spin off of the JL franchise, simply by including Prof. Stein in the JL movie. As a character I think Firestorm could hold his own in a solo film. Which could see him joining the JL in future JL movie/s.

Lastly, if your doing the Justice League, then bring in the Big 7, Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter.
Dont replace MM with Cyborg just for the sake of change or to have a black quotant. I really love Cyborg, but I dont think he belongs in the Justice League as a founding member or core member of the main 7. I felt the same way about Hawkgirl in the JL animated series. I liked her alot, but not at the expense of losing Aquaman.

Well thats just my thoughts on the subject. No matter what WB do, I will be there in the theater to watch this movie. I’ve been looking forward and hoping for a JL movie since they announced X-Men 12 years ago.

Hmmm…mycomicshop.com might be getting an order from me soon.
