Ben Affleck May Direct and Star in "Justice League of America"

Posted: August 9th, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Ben Affleck May Direct and Star in Justice League of AmericaSubmit Comment
As Warner Bros begins work on the upcoming "Justice League of America" movie, the studio has started its search for a director. Christopher Nolan already said that he won't take on any more superhero films, which is why the studio is now in talks with Ben Affleck (Argo, The Town) to take on the big-budget blockbuster.

Affleck is the only director who has been sent the script by Will Beall (Gangster Squad) and he is expected to meet with Warners in the coming days. Since he already made it clear that he's only interested in directing projects that he also stars in, it's likely that Affleck will play one of the superheroes.

"Justice League of America" heroes include Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and The Flash. Superman will likely be played by Henry Cavill (Man of Steel) and Ryan Reynolds may return to play Green Lantern. So the only other characters Affleck may play are Batman and The Flash. Stay tuned.

Ben Affleck directing The Justice League of America ? Why not ? He is showing real promise in directing. And unlike *cough* Bryan Singer *cough*, Superman won't come out like an emo baby's daddy with Lex Luthor acting more like Harvey Firestein blowing Ron Jeremy, all the while getting slobbered up in browntown by the bareback Michael Bay.

Acting ? f*ck. No.

Even Ryan Dunn's corpse would give a ghastly fart, killing the flowers rotting on this tombstone if that happened.

Channing Tatum as Batman ?

Adam West did the Batusi and you see what f*cking happened ... Batman & Robin with nipples on the costume.

Getting Channing Tatum playing Batman, you might as well have the Dark Knight fighting criminals in a banana hammock and played by Gary Del'Abate.

Great choice. The my choice for The Flash would be Brick Wall. Draw motherf*cker with crayons and let CGI do the rest. No one would notice anyway.

Btw, they already pursued Affleck to direct Superman.

His response was: "I believe there are others who can handle $200 mil. projects better than me".

I don't think that in 2 year span he became short on money or changed his philosophy.

Hardly unlikely that he'll take up this offer.Even if he did,he wouldnt be that stupid to direct and star as a sure hero.Maybe a minor role.I honestly dont knw how JLA will work.
Ranger writes:
on August 9th, 2012 at 2:32:33 AM

I've posted this before... so...

This will never work. Coming out with a JLA movie straight from the start.

The Avengers worked because (aside from it's comic-reading base) - brought along the characters along with their own movies. Introducing (and re-introducing to the comic-reading public) them to the world. Then The Avengers... assembled.

DC... although I (and most) like their characters very much (I think their background stories are usually more interesting than Marvels), but their movies isn't winning the hearts of the masses. ALL hopes are on The Man of Steel. Green Lanterns failed (although I enjoyed it for what it was... one of my fav. characters FINALLY making it to the big screen). Batman has been their anchor... but that's over with (for now). No sign of The Flash (again... he IS 'The Fastest Man Alive!' - or dead for that matter). Wonder Woman can't carry a movie on her own. Firestorm I like. He came out when I was into comics. I gather he's a member of the JLA? Hawkman... only worked in Smallville. No, this movie idea is all talk. DC has dropped the ball so bad (and lost billions in the process... maybe they have a mole in their operation, sabotaging their sh*t), it isn't even funny.

"whats the point superman can kill anyone.

the end"

The Hulk and Thor can kill anyone too.

----------------------------------

"Wonder Woman can't carry a movie on her own."

Well, the same was said years ago about Marvel characters like Captain America because of his old crappy movies.

Years ago nobody could have believed that Iron Man or Thor films could be blockbusters, Marvel's gems were Spider-Man and the X-Men, but now The Avengers are hugely popular.

With characters like Wonder Woman, if Warner does anything remotely similar to that crappy show with Ally MacBeal's creator, the movie will obviously fail. They have to reinvent the character, they shouldn't copypaste the 70s show the same way Burton or Nolan have done a Batman that is very different to Adam West's.

A Wonder Woman movie should be like "God of War" but with a hot babe instead of a bald guy. She shouldn't fly and she shouldn't have a ridiculous invisible plane, she should just be a super strong and beautiful warrior killing all kinds of greek monsters and fighting gods on modern times. Give her a cool red and golden pseudoarmor-suit that looks like something that an amazon would wear in combat but that also makes her look hot enough (because let's be honest, they'll have to cast a really hot actress for this role), she shouldn't wear an american flag that looks like a halloween costume.

A superhot woman killing beasts GOW's style with a good script, a good director and a good budget, and then people will want to watch this film, sex and violence sells (obviously Warner would never approve a gory-erotic festival, but the violence is covered with WW being a warrior that kills monsters and the sexuality is provided by a hot chick kicking ass that every man on Earth would want to f*ck, also she is probably a virgin when she leaves the island and will want to get laid sooner or later XD).

Xena with an awfully designed colourful costume with a bad actress, a bad story and cheap fx would be a disaster like last year's failed pilot. However look at Thor and how it worked pretty well, just change a male protagonist for a female and change the norse mythology for greek's mythology, redesign the costume like Marvel did with Thor's, update the whole thing like Marvel did with his characters, and then a Wonder Woman movie could work, but Warner needs to nail it.

It's the same with Aquaman, Thor under the sea, Atlantis instead of Asgard, there you have a movie that could work, with Aquaman being a king and a warrior fighting against undersea beasts and sh*t like that, not just a guy dressing a ridiculous orange and green costume and talking with dolphins. Thor/God of War under the sea, sh*t escapes from Atlantis and menaces NY, Aquaman and his people have to leave the sea too to save american asses (you can use NY or any other city in the world, it could be a global menace, whatever), this is what Marvel will do sooner or later with a Namor movie. In WW's DCAU movie Washington is attacked by all kind of greek monsters leaded by Ares, and then WW and the amazons save everybody, they can do the same in the movie with actors, they just need a big budget for good fx.

And with Hawkman you have aliens and ancient Egypt, use the same formula, it's just Thor with egytian mythology and aliens (the gods in Thor's movie are suppossed to be aliens too). Use some stuff from Indiana Jones and The Mummy's fx, redesign everything to make the characters look cool (not like Smallville's version Ranger, that looked like utter sh*t XD).

I'm not saying "every DC movie should be Thor (or GOW)", I'm just saying that Marvel knew how to update his character to make him fit in a fictional universe that started with Iron Man's more "realistic and scientific" movies, Warner and DC should be able to do the same imo.

@Leo - no one took Xena seriously. They just liked watching her tits bounce as she ran. Wonder Woman doesn't work. No one takes her seriously. Sure, that may come off close-minded, but just look at the history. The only AquaMan that was half decent was a bit character in Smallville. And Thor... as much as I give a LOT of ground to comic-based movies, was no where near as it could be. But people are riding this Marvel high. And all were awaiting The Avengers, so tolerances were high. If DC had the stones, they'd crank out their characters into movies. They are sure. Batman is a HUGE success. Supes we're awaiting on... but I'm really hopeful. And GL... one of my fav's... also could have been a LOT more serious, darker. If DC could, they would. Just curious as to why they've been caught with their pants down whilst Marvel rolls in the dough?
