All this justice league talk just gives me an excuse to post this.

I think a good lineup for a JL movie would be Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and The Flash. Those are probably mandatory. Outside of them, I still think Green Arrow ought to be a member, but that's arguable to be sure. Perhaps having fewer members might lighten the load on putting heroes over.
When it comes to using JL to debut heroes, I think of how well Mark Ruffalo was received as the Hulk. There seems to be possible interest in him reprising the role in a new Hulk movie. That's what Justice League should aim for with Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and The Flash. In some ways, this might be a good way to debut a new Batman too.

This sounds cool.
I was excited a few years ago when I heard some stuff about it; didn't know they actually cast and did character costuming. I would love to see that stuff.

They should do a "Crap Justice League", featuring DC's worst superheroes. - Crimson Avenger - Dan The Dyna-Mite - Doctor Fate - Sandy The Golden Boy - Merry, Girl of 1000 Gimmicks - Hour Man Doctor Fate, Hour Man and Sandman 2.0 are all great characters. I take it you never read Geoff Johns' JSA comic, then. but I digress. on topic, I have to say I have no interest in a half-assed JLA movie. put the work in that Marvel/Disney did and we'll talk.

You know what, I'd actually be interested to see how this goes.
DC doesnt necessarily need to build the heroes in the JLA, because arguably, DC's super heroes are much more widely known. Everyone knows Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and, surprisingly, The Flash is pretty well known in that red suit.
Doing the big movie first, then spinning off solo projects is a different way to do it and would allow DC to judge who deserves the spin off movies and who will bank for them, rather than taking chances or launching movies based on attempting to appeal to certain audiences.
Green Lantern failed, but that was because it was a poor movie, not a poor character. Superman and Batman always bank, even if the films aren't critically acclaimed, and for my money, Flash and his Rogues are begging, BEGGING for a film or another TV series.

But this is what sets the JLA apart from the Avengers. They don't need setup movies for Superman, Batman and probably Wonder Woman because everyone know who they are. They're ingrained in pop culture to an extent that Iron Man or Thor weren't prior to their movies. It;'s the rest that's the problem. People would associate Green Lantern with that Ryan Reynolds bomb, people still think Aquaman is a joke thanks to Superfriends. The Flash is probably okay. He's pretty well known. Especially when you have things like Sheldon Cooper's fandom for him on Big Bang Theory keeping him relevent.
EDIT: And Legion posts pretty much what I said at exactly the same time. Great minds and all that.

I also take issue with someone disliking any version of the Crimson Avenger. Seems like you just took a bunch of older characters and hated them because of it. Just like DC, actually. I didn't see Captain America, or The Hulk, or Thor, and I only watched Iron Man in passing, whilst reading a book. I also don't especially care for any of those characters in comics. Yet I really enjoyed the Avengers. It's only internet comicbook smarkery that thinks a build is needed, the rest of everyone will be sucked in, if it's a good film.

Yeah. This will be a disappointment compared with Avengers. The reason Avengers was so successful is that audiences were able to get a feel for characters through the solo movies, and then got excited to see the stars of those movies come together. For this to be done right, we would need at least:
- A new Superman movie - A new Batman movie (I think there's a good chance Bruce Wayne dies in Dark Knight Rises, but I have no information on that - it's just a hunch.) - A new Green Lantern movie - A Wonder Woman movie - A Flash movie
That's at least a five year project, I'd say. No way DC/WB waits that long, as they will want to piggyback off of the phenomenal success of Avengers. The result will be a lackluster movie that is a fraction of what it could be given some time to develop.

I didn't care for Reynolds' casting as Hal, but it seemed to actually fit in with the tone set in Johns' Secret Origin. I say leave him and have him be joined by Cavill, Bale, Wonder Woman (Gina "Terrible Actress" Carano), Cyborg (BLACK GUY), and Flash (WHITE GUY). Have them ask Aquaman who, in a Wolverine-esque cameo tells them to go splash themselves.

Cavill is likely the Superman we'd see in this, but Bale will not be the Batman.
The Nolan-verse simply wouldn't support a Justice League

To be fair, if they started RIGHT after Dark Knight Rises on the solo movies and did one a year like Marvel did, they might be able to release near Avengers 2 if it's made. I can't see them doing that since Superman is already set for next year but you never know.

I think a lot will depend on how the upcoming Man of Steel movie does. If it manages to do well then it will light a fire for Justice League to start warming up with. If it bombs out then it will officially seal that Batman is the only DC hero who makes money at the box office and any other films will die an instant death.

Y'know, given I loved Avengers maybe I should raise my opinion of team-ups a bit, but still not particularly fond of them, and the Justice League honestly tends to have a line-up where only half of them at most are actually useful. Then there's DC's spotty quality with movies anyway and... Yeah, I could see this happening but I really wouldn't have high hopes for it.

People will probably beat a path to the door to see Superman/Batman even without set up films.
And at least there's been recent movies about three of the members, and Wonder Woman is practically a lock on "everyone knows her already" factor, with Flash being pretty close.

They should just adapt the first two episodes of Justice League into live action.

The White Martian invasion would be the way to go. But now thinking about it, that kind of is exactly what happened in Avengers...

Again, WB could profit greatly with just a Superman/Batman movie. They could use such a movie to set the foundation for a Justice League movie following it.
