Just for Fun #1: I Pitch the Justice League Movie


A few days ago, fellow blogger Mark Bousquet asked a few of us how we would undertake the creation of a Justice League movie (you do know one is on the schedule for 2015, right?). Well, I couldn't resist the invitation...

Mine would be far different than most for a JL movie.

We begin a knee-deep in the middle of an all-out war with an alien race that is not from Apokolips (perhaps the Dominators or the one from Legion Lost original series). In the first five minutes, the League goes down. The first to get handed his butt is Superman, followed by Green Lantern Hal Jordon, but in the end, they all go down … HARD. Which leads to the guerrilla war that takes up the bulk of the movie, led by not the core seven but the extended JL (led by GL John Stewart, and consisting of Fire, Green Arrow, Metamorpho, Nightwing, and a core group of B-Listers). They search out other heroes now hiding away from the invaders and build up a group to rescue the core seven from the alien invaders. In Act III, the JLUnlimited frees the JLCore and together they kick some alien butt, teaching the Core JL that they’re not the end-all-be-all in superheroes and they decide to open up League membership to the other deserving heroes.

  1. I like you idea a lot but I would replace the standard Politically Correct Alien Threat with the Legion of Doom and throw A-list supervillians at the B-list Justice League.
    And no introductions, let the audience just watch and figure things out as you go along.

    1. I would probably use the villains as some supporting the JL-B-Team to safe the earth (hey, it's where they live) and some supporting the aliens to earn a piece of the earth when it's under new management.
