Fate of 'Justice League' Movie Depends On "Man of Steel"'s Success

"Man of Steel" could give fanboys a real reason to hate Zack Snyder.



According to Variety, Warner Bros. is waiting to see how Snyder's Superman reboot does with audiences "before moving further ahead" with "Justice League," the DC Comics answer to "Marvel's The Avengers" and the studio's hopeful mega-franchise. In the highly unlikely scenario that "Man of Steel" flops, it could spell trouble for "Justice League."

Warner Bros. has yet to hire a director for "Justice League," but the pieces are in place for the movie to exist. Will Beall ("Gangster Squad") is writing the script, and the has narrowed down the League members to five: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and The Flash.



Snyder has been a geek whipping boy of late because of his work on "Watchmen" and "Sucker Punch," neither of which seemed to satisfy internet commenters nor audiences: "Watchmen" earned just $185 million worldwide (its reported budget was $130 million), while "Sucker Punch" was an outright flop. The 2011 film grossed just $89 million around the globe.

Fortunately for everyone involved in "Man of Steel," there's great hope: The first trailers for the film have been universally praised, and Christopher Nolan (gag) is the executive producer of the Superman film.

"I actually feel guilty talking about ['Man of Steel'] because I'm sitting here having nothing to do to it," Nolan told THR. "I try to be as supportive as I can, and I'm just amazed by what [Snyder] is doing. It's not something I would know how to do."

Is that a penis in your tights or are you just happy to see me?

Dark edgy = pretentious.

Enough of that sheet!

Not really.

Eh, I don't dislike him because he isn't dark (not a huge fan of the Nolan fims). I don't like him because I think he's boring.
dubiously 30th-Jan-2013 09:46 pm (UTC)
This is why I love Supes and hate Batman.
ladyofmachinery 30th-Jan-2013 09:55 pm (UTC)
I only like the darker storylines in the Batman comics and some other ones. I love Alan Moore. I prefer my comic books less campy. So Nolan's Batman is by far my favourite Batman. I didn't even like any of the previous actors who played Batman. And the movies were a bit too campy for my liking. Dark/edgy =/= emo. People call it dark because it's not campy as fuck, not because it's actually that dark. It's more realistic imo. So these kind of comments need to stop. So unoriginal and uninformed. Not to mention the fact that people have different tastes and no taste is right or wrong.

What about Captain America? He's as boy scout as they come.
bodyline 30th-Jan-2013 07:55 pm (UTC)
I want this movie to be good just because I love Henry Cavill, and I want it to get a sequel in the hopes that they might bring in Kara or Peej.
veracity 30th-Jan-2013 08:00 pm (UTC)
I want it to succeed solely for Cavill's career.
hollis1975 30th-Jan-2013 08:05 pm (UTC)
this! i plan on seeing it opening night!
telemann 30th-Jan-2013 08:21 pm (UTC)
I'm going for the shirtless scene with him sporting that hot beard. :P
redrougerose 30th-Jan-2013 07:57 pm (UTC)
My flopdar is telling me this isn't going to turn out so good.
interrobamf 30th-Jan-2013 08:03 pm (UTC)
I think it'll probably do better than Superman Returns. That was one disjointed and boring movie.
realityvsdreams 30th-Jan-2013 07:59 pm (UTC)
he looks like he's doing ballet in that "poster"
karinette001 30th-Jan-2013 07:59 pm (UTC)
lmfao fucking dead @ the pose omg
shadwrayvn 30th-Jan-2013 08:03 pm (UTC)
the pose makes me think of the rant from Stan Lee
fancycarousel 30th-Jan-2013 08:00 pm (UTC)
It's a flop
interrobamf 30th-Jan-2013 08:01 pm (UTC)
Watchmen sucked because Synder didn't understand anything about the comic and cared more about the style than the substance. Which is too bad since some of the actors were absolutely perfect for the roles.

idk and idc about Sucker Punch.
puremorning2468 30th-Jan-2013 08:08 pm (UTC)
Watchmen was saved by the acting, tbh. I mean, Jackie Earle Haley killed it.
sugary_placenta 30th-Jan-2013 08:13 pm (UTC)
i really enjoyed watchmen.
cricketgrl 30th-Jan-2013 10:24 pm (UTC)
I agree about the casting being perfect but that movie was a complete, utter mess.

It was really Snyder that killed it from being a great film.
supernature_971 30th-Jan-2013 08:02 pm (UTC)
I figured...

Probably not going to do that well though. I mean even some Supes/DC fans can't seem to get excited for it.
nabuch 30th-Jan-2013 08:03 pm (UTC)
No matter how many people call Watchmen a commercial flop, I still think it's the best comic book adaptation.
puremorning2468 30th-Jan-2013 08:03 pm (UTC)
Wait, Zack Snyder directs Man of Steel? Then I care even less about it. He is a sexist douchenozzle.
supernature_971 30th-Jan-2013 08:04 pm (UTC)
I still want that Benicio Del Toro/Justice League Dark thing to happen though.
dramatik_irony 30th-Jan-2013 08:16 pm (UTC)
Guillermo del Toro
supernature_971 30th-Jan-2013 08:41 pm (UTC)
LOL Oh dear, embarrassed rn.

Thanks bb <3
yummyhead2toe 30th-Jan-2013 08:06 pm (UTC)
He looks really hot, so I'll watch it.
tryxkittie 30th-Jan-2013 08:07 pm (UTC)
ugh, I don't want a jl movie. you bastards shouldn't have cancelled the cartoon
hotdog 30th-Jan-2013 08:07 pm (UTC)
this is unfair because i really want this superman to flop but i also want the justice league movie to happen.
punishermax 30th-Jan-2013 08:14 pm (UTC)
Why do you want it to flop?
hotdog 30th-Jan-2013 08:19 pm (UTC)
i guess because superman is the worst superhero, because the movie looks awful, because cavill has been trying to happen for the past 10 years and he's just not going to happen since he's one of the most boring and personality/charisma-free actors out there tbqh.
