08 June 2012 - Super Powered Fiction

The inevitable has happened and the internet is ablaze with the topic of a Justice League movie. Of course the Avengers has decimated any and all sales numbers for movies and nearly single highhandedly brought Disney enough profit to justify buying Marvel a few years back. Can Warner Bros pull of the same feat? Heck, can Warner Brothers pull of something that’s even close to that? Those are the questions that will be answered in time but what about the movie it self?

Who will direct? Who will star? What characters will be included in the movie? Which characters won’t make the cut? These questions are going to be on every hard core DC comics Justice League fan’s mind and twitter stream. Including me and mine.

What if Warner Brothers doesn’t even try to make a live action movie. Instead, what if they make a really upscale CGI film like the Tin Tin film that came out earlier this year?

Now hold on. Stay with me here.

What if Warner Brothers could acquire the likeness of any actor the want, living or dead, and use that likeness for the CGI images of the film? What if they used the Arkham City game animation style animation? Since DC is known for blowing Marvel away with their animated features I’d go this route and surprise the hell out of everyone by casting the the following actors in the film. Hopefully it would keep the fans off guard enough that they’d have to go and see this film:

SUPERMAN
ACTOR/ Head Image/ Voice: Christopher Reeves
CHARACTER IMAGE: New52 Superman Costume

BATMAN
ACTOR/ Head Image/ Voice: Michael Keaton
CHARACTER IMAGE: New52 Batman Costume

WONDER WOMAN
ACTOR/ Head Image/ Voice: Lynda Carter
CHARACTER IMAGE: New52 Wonder Woman Costume

FLASH
ACTOR/ Head Image/ Voice: John Wesley Ship
CHARACTER IMAGE: New52 Flash Costume
NOTE: There would be no reason, what so ever, for DC to ever announce who the flash was under the costume.

GREEN LANTERN
ACTOR/ Head Image/ Voice: Phil Lamarr
CHARACTER IMAGE: New52 Green Lantern Costume
NOTE: This movie would star John Stewart as the Green Lantern of Earth. No mention of what Hal Jordan or Kyle Rainer are doing at all.

ICON
ACTOR/ Head Image/ Voice: Tony Todd
CHARACTER IMAGE: Milestone Media Costume
NOTE: Icon’s role in the movie is large, just as significant as the trinity’s roles.

HAWK GIRL
ACTOR/ Head Image/ Voice: Maria Canals
CHARACTER IMAGE: New52 Hawk Girl Costume

Would you go and pay full price for a CGI Justice League movie?
