SuperFriends

It wouldn't be a bad thing to keep it seperate and I would be really totally okay with that. But what I wouldn't mind at all if they actually borrowed things from certain movies, like costume-wise etc.

But my issue is how bad this might come out. It really does depend on who writes it, it really does depend on how well they translate it to the big screen.

It would be awesome if they kept all the characters so don't get me wrong there. The issue is Bale is a smart man and knows who and who not to put his acting career in whose director's hands. So seeing him doing this is a hard sight. It'd be almost painful knowing that there's a 95% chance that this movie can be a huge flop.

I would't mind new actors and giving somebody else a good chance to make something of themselves and make it something different. I would be perfectly okay with that.

Again, what we have to realize is that we have to keep the Joker and Heath Ledger seperate from each other. Yes, he took a character and made it GREAT! He made it his own. But they're not the same person. It can go one or two ways if they recasted The Joker: Up or Down. Depends on which actor makes it his own and not completely a copy of Heath's Joker.

It's in no way a disrespect for or to Heath. Nor will it be a dishonor.

But since the character is already established, I don't think that they need to go back to him, but if they did, they need to keep him the same as Ledger's.

Also, I would really hate to see recasting. If they do a Superfriends/Justice film, they need to stay consistent. Otherwise it will end up like a bunch of tv series and not cooperative universe. Smallville has nothing to do with anything in the "movie" realm of DC universe (yet I hope ), but if they transferred that onto the big screen, all of the characters from the series or movie have to STAY. Christian Bale needs to STAY. All of the actors need to STAY. Otherwise they will just end up doing a CGI film for kids, and I don't want to see that happen.

I had a feeling about that same thing. If they chose different actors/actresss for an actual justice league project. It'd feel more like a tv show type of thing. But again, it really depends on how they do it. I wouldn't mind them if chose different actors. But some actors feel ya know, differently about doing the same character over and over again like that.

I mean look at Slyvester Stallone. He's done the same character 5 times in two different movies. And it seems like that is the only thing he can do. He was sterotyped by doing it over and over.

So what's the cure for this? I can see where you'd like them to take it. I wouldn't mind it seeing the same actors have a continuty. But I just don't think it will happen through the DC universe. Maybe for the Marvel because they can actually link everyone together simply unlike DC.

I like Ledger's arch for the Joker, of course. I like it, they can keep that image. If they can find an actor to fit that role if they need to come back to that character. I am just trying to say to keep Ledger and Joker seperated despite many people take it personally.

Right. Well about the Joker, I think they should just be done with that. I mean, he had his run, maybe another villain would be good for the story. But if they did the Joker again, I guess I don't mind so much if it was a different actor, they just need to keep the same character, with long hair, etc.

And I don't think I could ever see a CGI Justice League movie. I mean I guess it would work, but they NEED to keep the same actors. I mean, thats what is so successful with Marvel. They are having a buildup, and keeping the continuity, and then combining all of their elements into one big mixing bowl. So hopefully DC will come around and see that that is their best route to take.

Well the only reason why I suggested CGI is because filmmakers are starting to use it seriously these days now. And it is cheaper to do it that way.

They have that new light-stop motion picture technology that captures real facial features in every light directions for every expressions. So you can pretty much take an actor, have him sit in this ball that's covered with like 100 diffrent lights, and have him do expressions etc. You have your actors right there that looks just like them.

I only suggested it because it's a new boundry we can stretch. It's a new way to do a film. If they could make it as real and as serious as they had been doing, I'll be first in line to see it. Now a life-action film? Sure, just as good.

I mean, CGI is a pretty sensitive subject when it comes to filmmaking, you gotta raise a lot of questions etc.

"Is it gonna be too childish?"
"Will people go see it?"
"How well it will do at the box office?

There's tons of questions about it I guess. But if they added the right elements of people on the projects and depends on how well it's written and directed. Then it'd be great. A success.

Marvel's great. I love them, probably more than I love DC. The great thing about Marvel is that they're all easy to connect to another character to the next. The other cool thing about Marvel is that they try to fit it into the real world. Using reality based cities or real-life issues based in the economy and every day life. They use that and it works

Now, the reasons why actors stayed for their films within the Marvel company is because its in their contracts for one, for two they never done it before. They actually don't have too many "warped-fucked" plot. Sure, they made some mistakes, but not too many to noticed to the untrained eyes.

DC could do the same thing, they just gotta keep BOTH their audiences and their actors/actresses interested. Give them a good reason to go on a good story and not a flop for the studio to reel in just money. Luckily, DC is in Warner Bros's hands. So far they've proven 100% better than 20th Century Fox.

The thing about Warner Bros. They wouldn't go onto something unless it was good. So there's your plus. So if they couldn't get the same actors again with another contract, they'll find someone that fits the role if it's a great story.

Remember, some actors/actresses just like to do different things. They have enough money to break contracts if they'd like. So it really depends.

And I agree about the Joker, same image, etc. Just have the actor incooperate some of his own stuff into the character and not leave it entirely Ledger's. It just wouldn't be the same, we all know this. But agreed, there's no real reason to go back to the character. But if they had to, I am sure they'd make a good choice about it. It's WB we're talking about.
