How You Do A Justice League Movie, Part III


You don't, apparently.

The best part of this semi-decision is that it leaves Man of Steel room to breathe. The second best part is that a JL film won't get rushed into theaters in 2015 to take on Avengers 2 and Star Wars VII, avoiding a humiliating face-plant that the other nerd-subspecies would never let us live down. If there was no chance of the project becoming something amazing (there wasn't), better nothing than another Green Lantern.

My only question is, if the script really was that bad, why did WB/DC run with production for over a year? Putting the project aside doesn't seem half so canny a move when you merely defaulted to this position because you realized the story was no good. Nine months after Avengers made you take this idea semi-seriously for the first time. I'd say this is a good time for the studio to focus on the individual characters for a while, but given this and other recent fumbles, we might as well watch WB/DC tease JL further. Because that'll restore our faith in them.

This is part of an irregular, ongoing series that may finally be over. See Part I and Part II.
