I feel like the Justice League can have distinct personalities if you pick the right members. Superman is the optimist whose altruism and selflessness make him a natural leader. Batman is more pragmatic and intelligent whose strategic mind makes him a possible leader and an asset to the team. Hal Jordan is so confident in his own abilities that he may rush into fights or question whether he needs the team. Barry Allen is incredibly intelligent and an optimist, and can keep the peace between Hal and Bruce. Wonder Woman is very compassionate and actively wants to promote peace through her actions. Aquaman is much more reserved, sometimes believing his royal status means he should lead the team. Martian Manhunter is extremely compassionate and the heart of the team.
How to make a bad Justice League movie: 1) Immediately rush one into production with no build-up or set up. 2) Try to change directors midway through production resulting in a Frankensteinesque mess. But on a serious note, the team dynamic you pitched at the end is exactly the kind of dynamic that the Justice League needs to work. Everyone has a purpose and helps each other develop as characters.
"He wasn't Superman yet!" That's a horrible excuse. Like Super Frame said, Snyder doesn't understand the character. Snyder apologists don't even understand the character.
I've had a very hard time trying to explain why I don't like either versions of the justice league movie. To the point where I've just stopped getting involved with superheroes unless in small doses if any at all, such as specific comic arcs or older stories. But you actually broke it down to science. I actually would like to see how your justice league movie would pan out. (But if you do, I will only say this. PLEASE refrain from putting panties on superman. A little modernization is forgivable.)
To be honest, I liked how Zack used JL as sort of an origin story for some of the characters, how they were all in very different stages of their development. They weren’t all growing parallel to each other. Batman had been around for a long time and was getting old, making his experience the greatest asset to the team, Superman was the world’s only real superhero at that point and was the rallying symbol for the league, WW had been around for a while but needed to be called back into action, Aquaman was around but was just sort of an outcast who used his abilities for good anonymously and needed the League to give him a sense of purpose and belonging, setting him up to later take on the throne of Atlantis, and both Barry and Victor were still grappling with their newfound abilities and realized the good they could do with them thanks to their experience with the team. I found that really cool.
I guess that's a good way to look at it. But the Justice League isn't like other superhero teams, it's a combination of multiple distinct mythos, and that didn't come through with Snyder's movie because nothing was set up, neither was anything particularly distinct about the 'worlds' each hero came from. So you can focus on the team and these different people mix, that's just the appeal with the League unlike say the X-Men with their classes. The X-Men are in more-so the same environment, tone, y'know in the same world aside from like Wolverine. THEY start together as a team, the Justice League however, should feel like these worlds colliding for the first time in my opinion.
It was just too long too much and was all over the place it was simply a longer, less smiling version of the Josstice League but it’s the same movie with the same plot holes
I've always seen the justice league as something that builds outwards. First batman and superman team up as the world finest. Then wonder woman comes along and they become the trinity. Then flash, aquaman, green lantern and Martian manhunter join and they become the justice league.
@Will N isn't alan scott the original GL? I actually like guy, he's a smartass jerk but kinda lovable. Kyle for me is just the most boring parts of hal with none of the creativity. Hals fearless, guys a punk, and johns the straight man, but kyles is just their... And dc tried push kyle so hard by making him the only green lantern, by making him a white lantern...but it just never worked for me.
@Will N yeah. I think the whole artist idea was cool, but then they dropped it in favor of making him a chosen one. Maybe a live action kyle could fix that.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how a good Justice League movie would be and honestly I don’t know a lot of what I would do. I know I would have Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, A Flash, A Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter. I know I wouldn’t have Cyborg because he’s always been a Teen Titan to me not a member of the Justice League. I would definitely get Hawkgirl on the team too because she’s one of my favourite members of the League and she is a really good character. The main thing I don’t know what to do is which Flash to do (Wally or Barry) and which Green Lantern to do (Hal or John. I like Wally and Hal more but John and Barry are great too and John is important if Hawkgirl is on the team too, that’s how I see it in my mind at least. My main experience of most of these characters is from the Justice League cartoon so I would want the movie to feel like that. This might just sound like rambling but that’s just what’s on my mind I guess.
For the Lantern, either Hal or John can work, although I think John would make the team feel more diverse and would establish a good dynamic between him and Hal. While one is in space the other is on Earth with the League. As for the Flash, I'm Wally fan but I think it's better to start with Barry Allen. Not only he is the average joe of the team, the one the audience can relate but also it would be very impacful if the JL trilogy ended with Barry sacrificing himself to save the world and Wally took over his mantle, representing the end of generation and the begining of new one (just like Cap passing his shield to Falcon represented in the end of Endgame).
@@ProjektTaku It was tbh, at least in comparison to the 2017 Joss Cut. As a JL movie it's decent. Not any fault of the movie we got, I just would have preferred if the circumstances were better.
@@alexandrefrauches132 thank you for the ideas. Those are really good points. You could have John stars in Justice League movies while Hal stars in Green Lantern movies and they can crossover sometimes. And Barry will have his movies and Wally can be in them so I think you’re right, John and Barry are the way to go to start. Thank you a lot for the advice!
I think one thing that any Justice league movie needs to do is to make each member distinct with their own skills. Don’t make Superman the most overpowered member who solves everything. Have each of them be good at their own thing. Maybe hawkgirl is the best at flight. Batman is obviously the smartest of the team. Stuff like that:
Character arcs: -Superman: Clark feels the weight of the world on his shoulders and feels as if he should be the only one to carry that burden. He feels that he should be this infallible, unbeatable, always virtuous hero for humanity so he can show them the way like his father Jor-El told him to. He's far more used to people relying on him than relying on other people. Clark eventually learns through the league that the world has heroes just as capable as he is who are more than willing to share his burden and lighten the load. -Batman: Bruce realizes he's out of his depth and doesn't have time to study the threat before they cause more damage, so he reluctantly helps form the team and acts as the leader. Bruce does his best to be logical but there's far too many uncertainties in this beyond apocalyptic scenario, leading to him internally panicking. Bruce should obviously learn to trust his teammates and know that they'll always do their very best to uphold the justice they believe in, but he's still unsure. Out of calculating that his distrust would inevitably lead to him being an ineffective leader, Bruce gives Clark the leadership role because he's the most trusting person he knows and has his utmost respect. -Wonder Woman: Diana is torn between her upbringing as an amazon and her current position as an ambassador of peace in the world of man. These two sides objectively come into conflict with each other as she tries to bring peace through physical force using her amazonian and divine powers, starting off with a more Batman-like approach when dealing with criminals and terrorist. She also sees that every man in the world is completely different from the last, especially exemplified with the league as their collective egos and uncertainty lead to bickering. Diana by the end of the film learns that she must balance the warrior and the teacher, taking inspiration from both Bruce and Clark in her more refined approach, acting as the final member of the trinity. -Flash: Barry is the most normal of the league. He doesn't have Bruce's intellect, Clark's boundless strength, Diana's nearly unmatched skill, Hal's unbreakable confidence, Arthur's natural leadership, Victor's insecurity, or Oliver's charisma and wit, so he keeps the league human. He at least tries to help the league through their issues. Clark and Diana having trouble relating to beings that they are so much stronger than, Bruce and Oliver feeling useless in comparison to the vastly more powerful league members, Arthur and Victor being torn between humanity and their other halves that they don't understand, and Hal's need to prove himself. He ironically has to tell everyone to slow down. -Green Lantern (Hal Jordan): Despite already being part of a team, Hal's the furthest thing from a team player and tends to take on challenges by himself. Ever since his fathers death, Hal has always had a drive to prove to himself that he's not afraid of anything, leading to him becoming overconfident and reckless with his many successes both as a pilot and a lantern only fueling his mindset. He's used to being the best, the M.V.P, that guy who can do it all no matter the odds (This leads him to relating to Superman, without the humility, and coming into conflict with Batman because they're essentially polar opposites). So when faced with a threat that he can't defeat alone, Hal's certainty of his abilities comes into question. Thanks to a wake up call from Barry and the league, Hal learns that he shouldn't let his confidence become arrogance by keeping his ego in check. -Aquaman: Arthur went from the son of a lighthouse keeper to the king of the sea in a matter of weeks. Of course this would lead to some serious whiplash since he's spent the vast majority of life on land. He's a thrillseeker by nature who's been placed into a position of power that requires him to think for the betterment of not only all atlanteans but the planet's sea life as a whole. After hearing of the threat, Arthur tries to get the atlantean forces to head to the surface and provide aid, only for them to turn him down. With no other options, Curry leaves Mera in charge of Atlantis while he heads to the surface to help in any way he can, leading to him meeting up with the league. Arthur learns that a king is nothing without his subjects and that there are times when an extended hand can do more than a clenched fist. -Cyborg: After the accident, Victor is completely unsure of what he is. He doesn't know where the man ends and the machine begins. It's made worse by how his other half is connected to a being of pure evil hell bent on universal conquest. He questions if he's capable of being a hero if he doesn't have a clue what his machine parts are capable of. Victor learns that while he's more metal than flesh, he's the one in control. As long as Victor Stone is in the metal shell, the man never dies. -Green Arrow: Oliver started out with everything handed to him on a silver platter, but he had to earn his way back to civilization from the island. Ollie sees this as a similar situation where he believes he has to prove to the league that he's worthy of his place among their ranks. In a way, Oliver acts as a balance between Hal and Bruce. He's powerless but also a natural talent with his unparalleled accuracy. Oliver's tenacity and quick thinking leads him to coming out on top in fights where he should be outclassed. Hal and Barry would tell Ollie that it was never his skill set, money, or achievements that got him his spot in the league, but his willingness to uphold justice. That alone, especially without powers, makes him just as much of a hero as the others. These arcs can be spread out across multiple films.
@@thrawnedits5860 I'd probably have them join the league in later films (Maybe Manhunter and Hawkgirl could appear in a credits scene) Martian Manhunter: Unlike Clark, J'onn was present through every moment of his race's destruction and simply cannot bear going through that pain on Earth. Since he can hear the thoughts of nearly every person on the planet, he does his best to help them all, whether their problem is physical or mental. The martian eventually learns that the way he's going about things is simply illogical because he can only solve so many problems in one given moment. He learns that humans are capable of solving their own issues and while it's good to be helpful, he'd prevent a lot of self growth if he just solved everybody's problems for them. Hawkgirl: Being the spawn of a warrior race and two immortals who have lived through dozens of lifetimes leads to a lack of empathy. Her parents did bestow her with a strong sense of justice from their experience with the JSA, but didn't teach her how that justice is to be carried out. Shayera starts out as a heavy handed brute when dealing with criminals because she hasn't experienced love like her parents have with each other and the JSA, a love she will find in the JL (especially J'onn) leading her to becoming merciful in her crime fighting approach. Shazam: It wouldn't be too different from his arks in both the New 52 movies and the foreseeable DCEU. Billy starts out using his powers to show off and fool around because he's a kid in a body that's super strong and practically invincible facing off against villains who 85% of the time pose no threat to him. Billy geeks out when he's offered to join the league and immediately accepts, fanboying over the members throughout his first few battles alongside them. Through conversations with both Superman and Wonder Woman (The former being his favorite superhero and the latter being a fellow champion of the gods and a semi-crush) he learns "Insert Spider-Man quote that everyone knows here" especially for someone as strong as he is. Billy keeps his good heart and sense of humor as the films progress, but he jokes a lot less when people are in danger. Dr.Fate: Despite how his level of power and mastery of magic would prove to be very useful in most of their battles, Dr.F doesn't interact with the league unless the universe is already in grave danger. This is because Nabu, while not evil and certainly good intentioned, is overly logical and cares far more about order across the universe than the beings who inhabit it. This would be in contrast to the helmet's host, be that Kent Nelson or anyone else, who wishes to intervene and use Fate's nearly endless power to save people. This will obviously lead to frequent bickering with both Nabu and the lords of order. The host has to convince Nabu that despite how he can see into the future, even a being as powerful as him can't dictate what actually happens. He can look down on existence for all of eternity, but he must intervene to maintain the balance of order and chaos. (He'd probably have a much larger role in JL Dark films.)
@@thathero5953 justice league dark would be cool and while my ideal team would be dr fate as the leader, zatanna, Constantine, spectre, ragman, deadman, detective chimp, phantom stranger, etrigan the demon and swamp thing, However in reality phantom strangers, Doctor Fate, and the Spectre, especially, extreme power levels would be hard to translate into film. And it would take a long time to introduce all those characters. Another question are you a writer because you seem to have very good ideas
IKR They were issues with the flash movie but I totally loved long Halloween and Jensen Ackles as batman And they are now working on green lantern What I love the most from this films is the lack of bullshit or edgy for edginess sake They feel real
My idea for how I would make a JL movie, as well the phase 1 of the new DC Cinematic universe, would be this The Batman 2 Fancast: Batman (Robet Pattison), Robin/Dick Grayson (Jaeden Martell), Ventriloquist (Toby Jones), Mr Freeze (Ralph Fiennes) Plot: A noir detective story in the same way the previous film. It would Introduce Dick Grayson, showing him being adopt by Batman and helping him find the responsible for the death of the Flying Grayson. The Villains would be The Ventriloquist & Scarface and Mr Freeze. Superman For Better Tomorrow Fancast: Superman (David Corenswet); Lois Lane (Natalia Dyer); Jimmy Olsen (Noah Schnapp); Parasite (Doug Jones); Lex Luthor (Billy Zane) Plot: A traditonal super hero film. Shows Superman first days in Metropolis, the begining of his romance with Lois and he dealing with the pressure of being the city’s hero. The villains would be Parasite and Lex Luthor. Flash Fastest Man Alive Fancast : Flash (Lucas Till); Iris West (Lily James); Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp) Gorilla Grodd (Keith David) Plot: A “Sam Raimi Spider man” style super hero film. Barry Allen would be come the Flash and team up with Jay Garrick, a speedster from Earth 2, to save Central City from Gorilla Grodd. Zatanna Fancast: Zatanna (Ana de Armas); Jeff Sloane (Arthur Darvill) Felix Faust (Robert Englund); Zatara (Colm Feore) Plot: A mix of “Indiana Jones Last crusade” and Harry Potter. Zatanna and her agent Jeff Sloane would go on quest to find her father, who was kidnap by the sorcerer Felix Faust, who wants to find three mystical artifacts (the Jar, bell and wheel) he can pay his debt with the demons Abnegazar , Rath nd Ghast (basically Fausts would be the Dr Facilier of the DC universe) Superman & Batman World’s Finest Fancast: Superman (David Corenswet); Batman (Robet Pattison); Robin/Dick Grayson (Jaeden Martell); Lex Luthor (Billy Zane); Black Mask (Jon Hamm); Metallo (Ben Barnes) Plot: A buddy cop style movie. Superman would go to Gotham and teams up with Batman and Robin to stop a gang war between Penguin and Black Mask (who is reciving weapons from Lex Luthor). At first Superman and Batman wouldn’t get along, however it’s their bond with Dick Grayson that inspires them to work together Wonder Woman the Journey’s begin Fancast: Wonder Woman (Daisy Ridley); Silver Swan (Tilda Swinton); Ares (Nikolaj Coster Waldau) Plot: A epic sword fantasy adventure, with Diana arriving at Man’s World and, with the help her friends (agent Steve Trevor and the archeologist Julia Kapatelis), growing from a naive stubborn warrior, with very strong feminist views of the world, to more compassionate hero, who sees the good in Man’s World. The villains would be Silver Swan and Ares (who would be Diana recurring villain in the trilogy). Green Lantern In Brightest Day... Fancast: Hal Jordan (Alden Ehrenreich); Carol Ferris (Charlotte Hope); Sinestro (Luke Evans); Killowog (Kevin Michael Richardson); Arisia (Chloë Grace Moretz); Ganthet (Michael Gambon); Sayd (Maggie Smith); Scar (Gleen Close); Krona (Hugo Weaving) Plot: A space adventure film Hal Jordan is recruited into the Green Lantern Corps, having Sinestro as his mentor and partner, and gains the Lanterns trust and respect after helping them in battle agains the Manhuters, lead by Krona. Justice League Secret Origin Fancast: Superman (David Corenswet); Batman (Robet Pattison); Wonder Woman (Daisy Ridley); Flash (Lucas Till); John Stewart (Mustafa Shakir); Zatanna (Ana de Armas); J’onn J’onzz (Colin Salmon); Protex (Iwan Rheon). Plot: A epic super hero film. The heroes would be reunite by J’onn J’onzz, who ask their help to return to Mars and stopping the Hyperclan, a group of white martians (lead by J’onn nephew, Protex), from stealing Earth energy to save their planet. The villains also capture Hal Jordan, but not before he was able to send his ring to John Stewart, who joins the heroes to save his friend. The final scene would have Starro cameo and the Justice League fighting him (reference to New Frontier), revealing themselves as team to the world for the first time, with no one knowing about their adventure in Mars. That’s why the film title is Justice League SECRET origins.
This my idea of how i would set up a justice league movie 1 The trinity ( with a flash cameo and Aquaman as a supporting character) 2 green lantern corps ( with hal Jordan and John Stewart as the main lead, Martian manhunter having a supporting role and a superman cameo) 3 the flash ( having a hal Jordan cameo) 4 The justice league United
I love everyone’s take on a DCEU, my only problem’s with yours is Robert Pattinson (he did Fantastic but his Batman isn’t built for justice league) and we’re getting into Flash of two worlds and worlds finest based storylines too quickly. This is how I would personally do it Phase 1 Batman 1 [Batman vs DeathStroke] Key Moments: Batman learns inner strength, Batman begins his beliefs by sparing Deathstroke’s life, Batcave begins to be under construction, Batmobile 1.0 is destroyed Post Credit 1: Assassins report on the presence of the Batman to the Head of the Demon Post Credit 2: Waller recruits DeathStroke to the Squad SuperMan 1 [Superman vs Metallo/Lex Luther] Key Moments: Superman/Clark finds acceptance, Luther becomes a lingering villain for Superman, the public has questions about his intentions Post Credit 1: Superman starts work at the Daily Planet Post Credit 2: Lex Luther works on kryptonite and a mech suit Wonder Woman 1 [Wonder Woman vs Cheetah] Key Moments: Wonder Woman learns self independence, Cheetah is outcasted from Themyscira, Wonder Woman leaves Themyscira in search of free will Post Credit 1: Waller oversees Cheetah’s capture Post Credit 2: Orb of dark magic starts to glow Aquaman 1 [Aquaman vs Black Manta] Key Moments: Aquaman learns to care about others, Aquaman starts his journey to search for Atlantis, Aquaman saves Black Manta from suicide Post Credit 1: Black Manta goes to Waller to join the Squad Post Credit 2: Depiction of Starro on old underwater ruins Batman 2 : Out of the Shadows [Batman vs Ra's al Ghul] Key Moments: There’s big corruption in Gotham, Dick Grayson gets adopted by Bruce Wayne, Wayne Manor gets blown up, Lazarus Pit corrupts and kills Ras, Talia and Bruce have romance Post Credit 1: Dick Grayson suits up as Robin for the first time Post Credit 2: Batman detects the arrival of Starro on his satellite The Flash 1 [Flash vs Reverse Flash] Key Moments: Flash gains confidence in himself, Flash siphons some of Reverse Flash’s speed, Barry starts dating Iris, Barry gets a job as a CSI Post Credit 1: Batman recruits The Flash to join the Justice League Post Credit 2: Citizens across Central City are gaining powers Justice League 1 [Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash & Green Lantern (John Stewart) vs Starro] Key Moments: Green Lantern explains what Starro is to Batman, differences between the group, Batman tries to be a leader but decides to share the leadership with the other members, they save the planet from mind control and kill Starro Post Credit 1: Hall of Justice is rebuilt where Wayne Manor was Post Credit 2: Revealed that Starro was sent by Darkseid to prepare the Earth for Apokolips. This starts us with 5-6 independent storylines to grow while also getting a storyline when they team up and allows them to build their character independently Here’s my entire 9 phase DCEU if anyone wants to read it, key points aren’t included for all of them only phase 1 and some of 2
@@kaustubhpalkar792 That's new and interesting idea but I think all these cameos could cause the same problem as BvS and probably Flash: Too much stuff and less focus on the main character. To build up for JL movie it's important to establish the world of each of the heroes first in their separate movies to then bring all together in the big crossover. Also who would be the Green Lantern of your JL? Hal Jordan or John Stewart?
I absolutely love your DC Cinematic Universe (Or DC Extended Universe if you prefer). Every single video about it was amazing. Keep up the great work, buddy :) I would love to see something like this for the Marvel Cinematic Universe too ^^
Over two long months since hearing Superframe’s genius on this series. I’m sure he’s hard at work and requires patience, but waiting sucks. Nevertheless I’ll wait.
Oh my god I've been seriously loving these videos man. It just clicked to me how you did a focused trilogy for Clark, an grand saga for Hal, and an solo masterpiece for Barry. And I love how you bring out what's unique about these characters, and as you say what a good Justice League movie should do is make the dialogue feel personalized. I've always thought this was extremely important for ensemble stories, and while this should be obvious, it's not something I really feel like we got from ensemble movies like Josstice League, Eternals, Fan4stic nor the Snyder Cut. These are some of my favorite superheroes of all time(Supes on top), and what I think makes a bad Justice League movie is failing to adapt what makes EACH OF THEM unique. And missing the point, core and finer depth of the character. What makes them work. It's not even about comic accuracy, it's the question of 'why adapt something you aren't truly going to adapt'?
Justice League is the best team. A group that seeks humanity while protecting it. A struggle that they continually face and that’s why I love them. Forever a DC fan 💙🐐
4:26 at least it was understandable in case of Aquaman. The guy was previously sidelined in every single JL on-screen appearence even being cut from Justice League: War in favour of Shazam.
Oh the irony. This video was complete garbage. Literally just ignored everything zack did. And took singular scenes and used them to represent the characters in totality. Forgetting all about the change and development of the characters
Honestly I’m not gonna tell a lie, Justice League War is one of my favorite DC animated movies. It’s a team origin story that doesn’t beat around the bush and gets straight to the action in a fun, exhilarating way. Maybe it’s just because I’m one of the few people out there who doesn’t hate Dc’s New 52 era.
The new 52 era is what got me reading comics back in 2011 but as I matured I quickly realised these were younger cynical takes on these heroes, something felt.. off, and that’s what led me to explore why, reading more pre new 52 stuff
Zack Snyder definitely missed the point of the Justice League. We saw them as being above humanity and often seeing the heroes kill people. Wonder Woman did not need to break a guy’s neck or blow up someone. Batman was threatening to kill the Joker, Superman was barley in the movie and still no growth. The only redeeming characters were Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg.
@@madlord124 Man of Steel and BVS said otherwise. And to make that matter worst, either Zack or WB cut a part of BVS showing Superman cry when he failed to rescue everyone from the court showing Superman can care especially to those he wasn’t able to rescue them
@@KhanhNguyen-mh5ec I still don't see the heroes being protrayed above humanity, Superman isn't a maniac. MoS Superman broken down after killing Zod, for them to be portrayed being above humanity for me, they have to be distant or literary be robots trying to get it.
@@madlord124 Right he did only for him to undercut that with him smiling at Carol Ferris after destroying a piece of government tech like the government being a cartoon jokester annoying him.
New Frontier, Doom and Crisis on Two Earths are all better than ZSJL for sure. New Frontier specifically, and its comic, is the greatest DC story of all time IMO.
Snyder's attitude to slow-mo reminds me of amateur cooks who start using MSG in every dish the moment they knew about it without a second thought do they have to.
My personal pitch for a JL movie would be a hybrid adaptation of JUSTICE by Alex Ross & Jim Krueger and Tower of Babel by Mark Waid & Howard Porter, one thing to note is that this is following 6 other pitches for solo members of the League (Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, Aquaman & Green Lantern, to not make this too long I'd list the key plot points: - Starts with a nightmare sequence where every hero sees themselves failing to save the world - Brainiac is the antagonist, he hacks Batman's computers and obtains the plans to neutralize each member of the League, which he then gives to the villains each hero fought in their previous solo movies - Almost every hero is incapacitated, nearly killed, Batman manages to escape and tries to quickly save each hero - From this point the team begins to form (No one still knows that the plans they were attacked with were from Batman) - By this point, Barry is waiting to marry Iris, Hal is trying to balance his responsibilities as a Lantern and his life on earth, Diana is still adjusting to living among mortals, Clark has just learned about the world he comes from in his solo movie and Bruce is suffering of intense paranoia after the events of his solo movie (Which I based on Court of Owls) - The team learns about Brainiac, who at this point unites the villains promising them a spot to rule the earth (Which of course is a lie), Lex is the only one to pick on this and actually sets up a betrayal against Brainiac - All of this leads to the final confrontation, which at first resembles the nightmare where the heroes failed, but while in the nightmare they were on their own, here they begin to overcome it by fighting together - The final battle against Brainiac happens in his ship as he tries as a last measure to blow up earth like he did Krypton (Which is a revelation from the Superman solo movie) - By the end Batman reveals the plans to take down the league were his, so while the League is formed, there's now a friction towards Batman, who by the end of this film learns he needs to begin trusting again
After this series you should try doing Transformers because the franchise we got I don’t think it was as good as what we could’ve gotten. It’s a little messy with the sequels
Well, the answer is pretty simple. Have transformers be actual characters of the story instead of an excuse for some big bangs. For example, have Optimus Prime be an actual leader instead of just some robot who monologues a lot, give others the reasons to follow him (also don't have him to be a douchebag, real Optimus Prime will never kill someone who saved his life, even if it his mortal enemy) Have decepticons be sentient beings instead of just some monsters or stereotypically evil guys (also don't give them monstrous appearence, after all decepticons and autobots are the same race after all, characters design is another thing movies messed up btw) And be sure to make it a Transformers movie, not human movie with transformers.
Flashpoint was meant to be a Flash story arc from the beginning,so of course it feels like a flash story when the movie is based on an event never meant to be an event but a flash story.
I know everyone hate the Joss-tice league, but I appreciated the fact Joss tried to make the heroes more... Heroic ? At least with what Zach already filmed . Especially Superman. Things werent as dark, boring and depressing as Batman V Superman. But yeah its a messy movie with weird cgi and conflicting tone, but I thought it was a step in the right direction for DC.
I thought it went too far into the campy territory. Many of the new scenes really made no sense (who the heck robs a place like that and Batman let them go?), a lot of the jokes made no sense (let's discredit stories of possible alien encounters in a world where Aliens are KNOWN to exist), and oversaturation of colours to the point where everyone looks like they got a bad sunburn.
@@kaustubhpalkar792 I think he’d most likely be interested but maybe he’s changed his mind since jl mortal. Idk if I’d want a movie like that tho cuz haven’t read the script and I think it wouldn’t do as well now as it would back when it was developed(based on the videos I’ve watched about it including this one). I think Superframe does a great job describing the qualities a good JL movie should have. DCU has such untapped potential in terms of representation on film. If WB-Discov got their act together and made proper movies about these incredible characters(aside from a few exceptions ofc) they would probably have a bigger film franchise than MCU
I wish we god Justice League Mortal. Just seemed so comic accurate which isn’t always a guarantee for success but I get tired of comic book movies that feel ashamed to be one. It reminded me of the DCAU in a sort of way. Would’ve been really cool to see Wally become flash
This is what I've been saying all this time, Snyder doesn't understand heroes. For him, all heroes are like Doctor Manhattan or Punisher, he hates heroic characters that represent something and go "by the book", like James Gordon would say.
Why Trevor Donovan for Aquaman? Believe me, he was my top pick for Aquaman about two years ago. But that was when I solely fancasted on appearance. Donovan has basically only starred in Hallmark movies for the past decade, he's just a pretty face tbh. I think you should go with Jordan Patrick Smith. He's Scottish-Australian, 33 years old, and 6'1". He can play the warrior type like he did in the show Vikings and can play the clean-cut version of Aquaman like he did in Lovecraft Country. Love the video and can't wait for Part 2!!
Bro this batman can barely beat a single parademon😂😂😂😂imagine what Arkham Batman LET ALONE comic batman would do to batfleck. Bro most animated batmen would slap the shit outta Batfleck
I think starting off with the Darkseid War was a bad move and then they’re started building up the injustice league or at least it seems that way. There’s Lex, Deathstroke, Black Manta, Joker and Reverse Flash maybe or Captain Cold, and Cheetah. Idk if the Flash movie will ever exist or if there’s anything to go on aside from Keaton’s Batman being in it but I’m assuming Reverse Flash will at least be in it. Black Adam is also a possible member.
Starting with Darkseid or anything Apokolips related is a bad move for real. From the narrative standpoint, it just lowers the stakes for future installments. You see, when heroes defeated literal god, a bunch of freaks like Legion of Doom won't be such a problem for them. Darkseid is a villain that needs tons of build up to appear which wasn't the case with Snyderverse.
@@ProjektTaku Vandal should be the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, in my opinion. The one who's in charge of basically anything the heroes face, yet stays off spotlight.
The first part in a two part series of videos where I pitch my ideal justice league movie, first though he have to understand the history of the movies that have come before. Let me know your ideal JL lineup in the comments and why, extra points for more interesting answers.
My JL line up would be made of heroes who represent the best of each part of the DC universe: Superman - The greatest super hero Batman - The greatest vigilante/ street level hero Wonder Woman - The greatest warrior/ sword - magic hero Flash (Barry Allen) The greatest speedster/ sci-fy hero Green Lantern (John Stewart*) - The greatest space hero Zatanna - The greatest magician/mystical hero J'onn J'onzz - The greatest mentor/ experient hero * In my pitch, I would have Hal Jordan being capture by the villains, leaving Earth without Green lantern. Before they took him, Hal would send his ring to John (already established as one Hal's closest friends in the army), making him the new green lantern. He would join the heroes to save Jordan.
Ideal Roster (first movie): 1. Batman 2. Superman 3. Wonder Woman 4. Martian Manhunter 5. John Steward (Green lantern) Obviously you need the holy trinity at least in the first film, and Martian Manhunter needs some love. He is such a good character that has been completly neglected. John Steward complete the roster alternatively you can use Hal Jordan but I like John better and he has been more relevant in the JL in past years. The first film should focus on these 5 guys and develop their dynamics before you can even think on expanding the roster.
I think that they should do trilogies of single characters and then a trilogy of the team and then go back to a fully trilogy. without in its clear in marvel that from avengers 1-2 if you dont want watch anything else the whole beginingg with hydra doesnt really make sense, cause its different to the end of the last film. and also characters grow in their single movies between avengers films making it strange. if you skipped iron man 3, you would be confused as to why tony doesnt have a reactor in his heart.
how to make a bad justice league movie 1. rush one into production with no plan or set up 2. doesn't commit into one tone and feels like a complete mess 3. make the team don't feel like a team and feels boring not interesting. that's how you make a bad justice league movie. on a serious note though i think justice league movie can work if you have the right story and adapt the team as actual characters and be a team could make this movie amazing at least in my opinion.
Its a good ZSJL is a good justice league movie still, that has some of the feels of the comics and animate movies. but in a new and different presentation with an intriguing story... why it cant be long? It gives it a good pace. Most have seen a whole netflix season for 10 hours. 4 is not bad. & it goes fast.
I think the movie was as long as it needed to be to develop the characters and give them satisfying arcs. I loved how each member of the team was essential to winning and their was no weak link among them.
Why is killer croc fully done with makeup all over his body but cyborg, one of the members of the Justice league is this CGI monstrosity? Surely a suit that made him more jacked, looked like or was made of metal, amd maybe had a CGI arm woulda been a worthy investment for your flagship superhero team.
I don't know how they would have done what Zack wanted practically. His arm and leg joints are super thin compared to the rest of his body like hinges, and his torso has many moving parts that couldn't be made practically.
that's what they did in doom patrol, and while it wasn't perfect, it was much better than the movie. I could imagine a bigger budget suit looking amazing.
The Justice League is definitely not my favorite superhero team (you can't beat Fantastic Four), but I still like them. And I wish they got a good movie.
I've always been one who believed Synder didn't understand characters like superman. Making them more superior instead of empathetic and human. Look forward to the next video.
This was an interesting take on the flaws of the various iterations of JL. My biggest problem has been that it does not seem like anyoje who has been in charge of these movies actually understands the characters. If we r lucky, they may know the very broad strokes of some of the major storylines, but they do not understand what made those storylines iconic or seminal. Snyder definitely did not understand them. his vision was always too muddled, literally and figuratively on all aspects. and to be honest, he just made a worse version of the Boys. I hope that the studio and snyders successors learn from ALL of his mistakes
I’m a simple man, I see Superframe, I click.
Me too
Same as well my friend same as well
It's a peaceful life
I agree, simple as that
Don’t get any onya.
I feel like the Justice League can have distinct personalities if you pick the right members.
Superman is the optimist whose altruism and selflessness make him a natural leader.
Batman is more pragmatic and intelligent whose strategic mind makes him a possible leader and an asset to the team.
Hal Jordan is so confident in his own abilities that he may rush into fights or question whether he needs the team.
Barry Allen is incredibly intelligent and an optimist, and can keep the peace between Hal and Bruce.
Wonder Woman is very compassionate and actively wants to promote peace through her actions.
Aquaman is much more reserved, sometimes believing his royal status means he should lead the team.
Martian Manhunter is extremely compassionate and the heart of the team.
we got it they are all Compassionated. (& yes that includes classic Bruce tho)
How to make a bad Justice League movie:
1) Immediately rush one into production with no build-up or set up.
2) Try to change directors midway through production resulting in a Frankensteinesque mess.
But on a serious note, the team dynamic you pitched at the end is exactly the kind of dynamic that the Justice League needs to work. Everyone has a purpose and helps each other develop as characters.
Number one is happening right now with the new members or should I say not
That’s literally ZSJL
@@MilleniumKage kinda but it doesn't necessarily hit right
I disagree about point one
The Justice League came together out of random in the comics to boost sales for characters who weren't Batman and Superman
@@IzayaLee1725 well the next justice league might not have them both but there gonna have there own movie idk bout blue beetle
Snyder Apologists: He wasn't Superman yet!
No, but he was Clark Kent. The most important part of Superman.
Richard Donner did it better!!
"He wasn't Superman yet!" That's a horrible excuse. Like Super Frame said, Snyder doesn't understand the character. Snyder apologists don't even understand the character.
I've had a very hard time trying to explain why I don't like either versions of the justice league movie. To the point where I've just stopped getting involved with superheroes unless in small doses if any at all, such as specific comic arcs or older stories. But you actually broke it down to science. I actually would like to see how your justice league movie would pan out. (But if you do, I will only say this. PLEASE refrain from putting panties on superman. A little modernization is forgivable.)
Already made the follow up video, it’s on the channel 👍🏻
The editing in this video is fantastic! Keep up the great work!
I am so hyped for part 2 man! You're DC videos are always awesome.
Wise man said: "There no wrong ways to make a movie, but there are wrong executions"
Nice video, I hope to see how you would do your first Justice League movie.
I always like the idea of Wonder Woman’s first film being a justice society movie with her as the main character
To be honest, I liked how Zack used JL as sort of an origin story for some of the characters, how they were all in very different stages of their development. They weren’t all growing parallel to each other. Batman had been around for a long time and was getting old, making his experience the greatest asset to the team, Superman was the world’s only real superhero at that point and was the rallying symbol for the league, WW had been around for a while but needed to be called back into action, Aquaman was around but was just sort of an outcast who used his abilities for good anonymously and needed the League to give him a sense of purpose and belonging, setting him up to later take on the throne of Atlantis, and both Barry and Victor were still grappling with their newfound abilities and realized the good they could do with them thanks to their experience with the team. I found that really cool.
In Zack fairness, if WB want to make a group movie first then solo later, obviously it has to be extra long movie.
I guess that's a good way to look at it. But the Justice League isn't like other superhero teams, it's a combination of multiple distinct mythos, and that didn't come through with Snyder's movie because nothing was set up, neither was anything particularly distinct about the 'worlds' each hero came from. So you can focus on the team and these different people mix, that's just the appeal with the League unlike say the X-Men with their classes. The X-Men are in more-so the same environment, tone, y'know in the same world aside from like Wolverine. THEY start together as a team, the Justice League however, should feel like these worlds colliding for the first time in my opinion.
@@buddyxiwill You also make a great point, I totally see what you’re saying.
It was just too long too much and was all over the place it was simply a longer, less smiling version of the Josstice League but it’s the same movie with the same plot holes
I've always seen the justice league as something that builds outwards.
First batman and superman team up as the world finest.
Then wonder woman comes along and they become the trinity.
Then flash, aquaman, green lantern and Martian manhunter join and they become the justice league.
@Will N yeah, like GL as the straight man with flash being more chill but ready to get down for bisuness.
@Will N yeah. I just grew up with the john stewart wally dynamic.
@Will N cool. Although, I would prefer them not to use kyle rayner.
He's always been my least favorite GL.
@Will N isn't alan scott the original GL?
I actually like guy, he's a smartass jerk but kinda lovable.
Kyle for me is just the most boring parts of hal with none of the creativity.
Hals fearless, guys a punk, and johns the straight man, but kyles is just their...
And dc tried push kyle so hard by making him the only green lantern, by making him a white lantern...but it just never worked for me.
@Will N yeah. I think the whole artist idea was cool, but then they dropped it in favor of making him a chosen one.
Maybe a live action kyle could fix that.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how a good Justice League movie would be and honestly I don’t know a lot of what I would do. I know I would have Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, A Flash, A Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter. I know I wouldn’t have Cyborg because he’s always been a Teen Titan to me not a member of the Justice League. I would definitely get Hawkgirl on the team too because she’s one of my favourite members of the League and she is a really good character. The main thing I don’t know what to do is which Flash to do (Wally or Barry) and which Green Lantern to do (Hal or John. I like Wally and Hal more but John and Barry are great too and John is important if Hawkgirl is on the team too, that’s how I see it in my mind at least. My main experience of most of these characters is from the Justice League cartoon so I would want the movie to feel like that. This might just sound like rambling but that’s just what’s on my mind I guess.
wasn't the synder cut a good justice league movie?
For the Lantern, either Hal or John can work, although I think John would make the team feel more diverse and would establish a good dynamic between him and Hal. While one is in space the other is on Earth with the League.
As for the Flash, I'm Wally fan but I think it's better to start with Barry Allen. Not only he is the average joe of the team, the one the audience can relate but also it would be very impacful if the JL trilogy ended with Barry sacrificing himself to save the world and Wally took over his mantle, representing the end of generation and the begining of new one (just like Cap passing his shield to Falcon represented in the end of Endgame).
@@ProjektTaku no...no it was not
@@ProjektTaku It was tbh, at least in comparison to the 2017 Joss Cut. As a JL movie it's decent. Not any fault of the movie we got, I just would have preferred if the circumstances were better.
@@alexandrefrauches132 thank you for the ideas. Those are really good points. You could have John stars in Justice League movies while Hal stars in Green Lantern movies and they can crossover sometimes. And Barry will have his movies and Wally can be in them so I think you’re right, John and Barry are the way to go to start. Thank you a lot for the advice!
Can't wait for Part 2! I'm gonna binge all the older vids in this series
I think one thing that any Justice league movie needs to do is to make each member distinct with their own skills. Don’t make Superman the most overpowered member who solves everything. Have each of them be good at their own thing. Maybe hawkgirl is the best at flight. Batman is obviously the smartest of the team. Stuff like that:
@Will N hawkgirl should be the most brutal on the team in terms of fighting style. Attack plan? She has a plan. ATTACK!
Not me obsessively checking every single hour if he's uploaded How to Make a GOOD JL movie
Me too, did snyder fans assassinate him already or something
@@seijiren5115 As a Snyder fan I can confirm that might be a possibility
SAME I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Character arcs:
-Superman: Clark feels the weight of the world on his shoulders and feels as if he should be the only one to carry that burden. He feels that he should be this infallible, unbeatable, always virtuous hero for humanity so he can show them the way like his father Jor-El told him to. He's far more used to people relying on him than relying on other people. Clark eventually learns through the league that the world has heroes just as capable as he is who are more than willing to share his burden and lighten the load.
-Batman: Bruce realizes he's out of his depth and doesn't have time to study the threat before they cause more damage, so he reluctantly helps form the team and acts as the leader. Bruce does his best to be logical but there's far too many uncertainties in this beyond apocalyptic scenario, leading to him internally panicking. Bruce should obviously learn to trust his teammates and know that they'll always do their very best to uphold the justice they believe in, but he's still unsure. Out of calculating that his distrust would inevitably lead to him being an ineffective leader, Bruce gives Clark the leadership role because he's the most trusting person he knows and has his utmost respect.
-Wonder Woman: Diana is torn between her upbringing as an amazon and her current position as an ambassador of peace in the world of man. These two sides objectively come into conflict with each other as she tries to bring peace through physical force using her amazonian and divine powers, starting off with a more Batman-like approach when dealing with criminals and terrorist. She also sees that every man in the world is completely different from the last, especially exemplified with the league as their collective egos and uncertainty lead to bickering. Diana by the end of the film learns that she must balance the warrior and the teacher, taking inspiration from both Bruce and Clark in her more refined approach, acting as the final member of the trinity.
-Flash: Barry is the most normal of the league. He doesn't have Bruce's intellect, Clark's boundless strength, Diana's nearly unmatched skill, Hal's unbreakable confidence, Arthur's natural leadership, Victor's insecurity, or Oliver's charisma and wit, so he keeps the league human. He at least tries to help the league through their issues. Clark and Diana having trouble relating to beings that they are so much stronger than, Bruce and Oliver feeling useless in comparison to the vastly more powerful league members, Arthur and Victor being torn between humanity and their other halves that they don't understand, and Hal's need to prove himself. He ironically has to tell everyone to slow down.
-Green Lantern (Hal Jordan): Despite already being part of a team, Hal's the furthest thing from a team player and tends to take on challenges by himself. Ever since his fathers death, Hal has always had a drive to prove to himself that he's not afraid of anything, leading to him becoming overconfident and reckless with his many successes both as a pilot and a lantern only fueling his mindset. He's used to being the best, the M.V.P, that guy who can do it all no matter the odds (This leads him to relating to Superman, without the humility, and coming into conflict with Batman because they're essentially polar opposites). So when faced with a threat that he can't defeat alone, Hal's certainty of his abilities comes into question. Thanks to a wake up call from Barry and the league, Hal learns that he shouldn't let his confidence become arrogance by keeping his ego in check.
-Aquaman: Arthur went from the son of a lighthouse keeper to the king of the sea in a matter of weeks. Of course this would lead to some serious whiplash since he's spent the vast majority of life on land. He's a thrillseeker by nature who's been placed into a position of power that requires him to think for the betterment of not only all atlanteans but the planet's sea life as a whole. After hearing of the threat, Arthur tries to get the atlantean forces to head to the surface and provide aid, only for them to turn him down. With no other options, Curry leaves Mera in charge of Atlantis while he heads to the surface to help in any way he can, leading to him meeting up with the league. Arthur learns that a king is nothing without his subjects and that there are times when an extended hand can do more than a clenched fist.
-Cyborg: After the accident, Victor is completely unsure of what he is. He doesn't know where the man ends and the machine begins. It's made worse by how his other half is connected to a being of pure evil hell bent on universal conquest. He questions if he's capable of being a hero if he doesn't have a clue what his machine parts are capable of. Victor learns that while he's more metal than flesh, he's the one in control. As long as Victor Stone is in the metal shell, the man never dies.
-Green Arrow: Oliver started out with everything handed to him on a silver platter, but he had to earn his way back to civilization from the island. Ollie sees this as a similar situation where he believes he has to prove to the league that he's worthy of his place among their ranks. In a way, Oliver acts as a balance between Hal and Bruce. He's powerless but also a natural talent with his unparalleled accuracy. Oliver's tenacity and quick thinking leads him to coming out on top in fights where he should be outclassed. Hal and Barry would tell Ollie that it was never his skill set, money, or achievements that got him his spot in the league, but his willingness to uphold justice. That alone, especially without powers, makes him just as much of a hero as the others.
These arcs can be spread out across multiple films.
This is amazing, what would you do for Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Shazam, and Doctor Fate.
@@thrawnedits5860
I'd probably have them join the league in later films (Maybe Manhunter and Hawkgirl could appear in a credits scene)
Martian Manhunter: Unlike Clark, J'onn was present through every moment of his race's destruction and simply cannot bear going through that pain on Earth. Since he can hear the thoughts of nearly every person on the planet, he does his best to help them all, whether their problem is physical or mental. The martian eventually learns that the way he's going about things is simply illogical because he can only solve so many problems in one given moment. He learns that humans are capable of solving their own issues and while it's good to be helpful, he'd prevent a lot of self growth if he just solved everybody's problems for them.
Hawkgirl: Being the spawn of a warrior race and two immortals who have lived through dozens of lifetimes leads to a lack of empathy. Her parents did bestow her with a strong sense of justice from their experience with the JSA, but didn't teach her how that justice is to be carried out. Shayera starts out as a heavy handed brute when dealing with criminals because she hasn't experienced love like her parents have with each other and the JSA, a love she will find in the JL (especially J'onn) leading her to becoming merciful in her crime fighting approach.
Shazam: It wouldn't be too different from his arks in both the New 52 movies and the foreseeable DCEU. Billy starts out using his powers to show off and fool around because he's a kid in a body that's super strong and practically invincible facing off against villains who 85% of the time pose no threat to him. Billy geeks out when he's offered to join the league and immediately accepts, fanboying over the members throughout his first few battles alongside them. Through conversations with both Superman and Wonder Woman (The former being his favorite superhero and the latter being a fellow champion of the gods and a semi-crush) he learns "Insert Spider-Man quote that everyone knows here" especially for someone as strong as he is. Billy keeps his good heart and sense of humor as the films progress, but he jokes a lot less when people are in danger.
Dr.Fate: Despite how his level of power and mastery of magic would prove to be very useful in most of their battles, Dr.F doesn't interact with the league unless the universe is already in grave danger. This is because Nabu, while not evil and certainly good intentioned, is overly logical and cares far more about order across the universe than the beings who inhabit it. This would be in contrast to the helmet's host, be that Kent Nelson or anyone else, who wishes to intervene and use Fate's nearly endless power to save people. This will obviously lead to frequent bickering with both Nabu and the lords of order. The host has to convince Nabu that despite how he can see into the future, even a being as powerful as him can't dictate what actually happens. He can look down on existence for all of eternity, but he must intervene to maintain the balance of order and chaos. (He'd probably have a much larger role in JL Dark films.)
@@thathero5953 justice league dark would be cool and while my ideal team would be dr fate as the leader, zatanna, Constantine, spectre, ragman, deadman, detective chimp, phantom stranger, etrigan the demon and swamp thing,
However in reality phantom strangers, Doctor Fate, and the Spectre, especially, extreme power levels would be hard to translate into film. And it would take a long time to introduce all those characters. Another question are you a writer because you seem to have very good ideas

Me too! I really enjoyed this Rebirth Tomorrowverse a lot lately. Can't wait for more ^^
The Tomorrow verse is sooooooo 🔥🔥
I love how exited everybody is to see part 2
My idea for how I would make a JL movie, as well the phase 1 of the new DC Cinematic universe, would be this
The Batman 2
Fancast: Batman (Robet Pattison), Robin/Dick Grayson (Jaeden Martell), Ventriloquist (Toby Jones), Mr Freeze (Ralph Fiennes)
Plot: A noir detective story in the same way the previous film. It would Introduce Dick Grayson, showing him being adopt by Batman and helping him find the responsible for the death of the Flying Grayson. The Villains would be The Ventriloquist & Scarface and Mr Freeze.
Superman For Better Tomorrow
Fancast: Superman (David Corenswet); Lois Lane (Natalia Dyer); Jimmy Olsen (Noah Schnapp); Parasite (Doug Jones); Lex Luthor (Billy Zane)
Plot: A traditonal super hero film. Shows Superman first days in Metropolis, the begining of his romance with Lois and he dealing with the pressure of being the city’s hero. The villains would be Parasite and Lex Luthor.
Flash Fastest Man Alive
Fancast : Flash (Lucas Till); Iris West (Lily James); Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp) Gorilla Grodd (Keith David)
Plot: A “Sam Raimi Spider man” style super hero film. Barry Allen would be come the Flash and team up with Jay Garrick, a speedster from Earth 2, to save Central City from Gorilla Grodd.
Zatanna
Fancast: Zatanna (Ana de Armas); Jeff Sloane (Arthur Darvill) Felix Faust (Robert Englund); Zatara (Colm Feore)
Plot: A mix of “Indiana Jones Last crusade” and Harry Potter. Zatanna and her agent Jeff Sloane would go on quest to find her father, who was kidnap by the sorcerer Felix Faust, who wants to find three mystical artifacts (the Jar, bell and wheel) he can pay his debt with the demons Abnegazar , Rath nd Ghast (basically Fausts would be the Dr Facilier of the DC universe)
Superman & Batman World’s Finest
Fancast: Superman (David Corenswet); Batman (Robet Pattison); Robin/Dick Grayson (Jaeden Martell); Lex Luthor (Billy Zane); Black Mask (Jon Hamm); Metallo (Ben Barnes)
Plot: A buddy cop style movie. Superman would go to Gotham and teams up with Batman and Robin to stop a gang war between Penguin and Black Mask (who is reciving weapons from Lex Luthor). At first Superman and Batman wouldn’t get along, however it’s their bond with Dick Grayson that inspires them to work together
Wonder Woman the Journey’s begin
Fancast: Wonder Woman (Daisy Ridley); Silver Swan (Tilda Swinton); Ares (Nikolaj Coster Waldau)
Plot: A epic sword fantasy adventure, with Diana arriving at Man’s World and, with the help her friends (agent Steve Trevor and the archeologist Julia Kapatelis), growing from a naive stubborn warrior, with very strong feminist views of the world, to more compassionate hero, who sees the good in Man’s World. The villains would be Silver Swan and Ares (who would be Diana recurring villain in the trilogy).
Green Lantern In Brightest Day...
Fancast: Hal Jordan (Alden Ehrenreich); Carol Ferris (Charlotte Hope); Sinestro (Luke Evans); Killowog (Kevin Michael Richardson); Arisia (Chloë Grace Moretz); Ganthet (Michael Gambon); Sayd (Maggie Smith); Scar (Gleen Close); Krona (Hugo Weaving)
Plot: A space adventure film Hal Jordan is recruited into the Green Lantern Corps, having Sinestro as his mentor and partner, and gains the Lanterns trust and respect after helping them in battle agains the Manhuters, lead by Krona.
Justice League Secret Origin
Fancast: Superman (David Corenswet); Batman (Robet Pattison); Wonder Woman (Daisy Ridley); Flash (Lucas Till); John Stewart (Mustafa Shakir); Zatanna (Ana de Armas); J’onn J’onzz (Colin Salmon); Protex (Iwan Rheon).
Plot: A epic super hero film. The heroes would be reunite by J’onn J’onzz, who ask their help to return to Mars and stopping the Hyperclan, a group of white martians (lead by J’onn nephew, Protex), from stealing Earth energy to save their planet.
The villains also capture Hal Jordan, but not before he was able to send his ring to John Stewart, who joins the heroes to save his friend.
The final scene would have Starro cameo and the Justice League fighting him (reference to New Frontier), revealing themselves as team to the world for the first time, with no one knowing about their adventure in Mars.
That’s why the film title is Justice League SECRET origins.
Nice Pitch
This my idea of how i would set up a justice league movie
1 The trinity ( with a flash cameo and Aquaman as a supporting character)
2 green lantern corps ( with hal Jordan and John Stewart as the main lead, Martian manhunter having a supporting role and a superman cameo)
3 the flash ( having a hal Jordan cameo)
4 The justice league United

This starts us with 5-6 independent storylines to grow while also getting a storyline when they team up and allows them to build their character independently
Here’s my entire 9 phase DCEU if anyone wants to read it, key points aren’t included for all of them only phase 1 and some of 2
@@kaustubhpalkar792 That's new and interesting idea but I think all these cameos could cause the same problem as BvS and probably Flash: Too much stuff and less focus on the main character. To build up for JL movie it's important to establish the world of each of the heroes first in their separate movies to then bring all together in the big crossover.
Also who would be the Green Lantern of your JL? Hal Jordan or John Stewart?
Honestly I don't know why they did the animated Justice League movies so right just to mess up the live action movie in such a spectacular way.
Ikr
I absolutely love your DC Cinematic Universe (Or DC Extended Universe if you prefer). Every single video about it was amazing. Keep up the great work, buddy :)
I would love to see something like this for the Marvel Cinematic Universe too ^^
Over two long months since hearing Superframe’s genius on this series. I’m sure he’s hard at work and requires patience, but waiting sucks. Nevertheless I’ll wait.
Wow! Another FANTASTIC video! I love all of these kinds of videos you’ve been doing! Keep up the great work!
Oh my god I've been seriously loving these videos man. It just clicked to me how you did a focused trilogy for Clark, an grand saga for Hal, and an solo masterpiece for Barry. And I love how you bring out what's unique about these characters, and as you say what a good Justice League movie should do is make the dialogue feel personalized. I've always thought this was extremely important for ensemble stories, and while this should be obvious, it's not something I really feel like we got from ensemble movies like Josstice League, Eternals, Fan4stic nor the Snyder Cut. These are some of my favorite superheroes of all time(Supes on top), and what I think makes a bad Justice League movie is failing to adapt what makes EACH OF THEM unique. And missing the point, core and finer depth of the character. What makes them work. It's not even about comic accuracy, it's the question of 'why adapt something you aren't truly going to adapt'?
Yesss. I love your vids man can’t wait for part 2
Justice League is the best team. A group that seeks humanity while protecting it. A struggle that they continually face and that’s why I love them. Forever a DC fan 💙🐐
That's a surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.
4:26 at least it was understandable in case of Aquaman. The guy was previously sidelined in every single JL on-screen appearence even being cut from Justice League: War in favour of Shazam.
Please upload the next part soon. I'm excited to see your take on how to make a good JL movie.
His take never let us down.
@@seijiren5115 that is why I'm excited for the next video ;)
@@pulokeshbanerjee3413 yes!
Oh thanks, now i know how to make a bad Justice League movie now. Time to make it
💀
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
As long as Super Frame keeps these kinds of videos rolling (how to make a bad/good movie), I’ll keep watching
Awesome, dude. I can’t wait for part two 🤩😁
Oh boy oh boy! I’ve been looking forward to this!
How can one person be smarter than an entire company
I love theses videos, really makes me wish people who actually cared about the Justice League were making the movies
Oh the irony. This video was complete garbage. Literally just ignored everything zack did. And took singular scenes and used them to represent the characters in totality. Forgetting all about the change and development of the characters
Honestly I’m not gonna tell a lie, Justice League War is one of my favorite DC animated movies. It’s a team origin story that doesn’t beat around the bush and gets straight to the action in a fun, exhilarating way. Maybe it’s just because I’m one of the few people out there who doesn’t hate Dc’s New 52 era.
The new 52 era is what got me reading comics back in 2011 but as I matured I quickly realised these were younger cynical takes on these heroes, something felt.. off, and that’s what led me to explore why, reading more pre new 52 stuff
I know that next is the namor video but when can we expect part two
Read your tweet and I feel bad take all the time you need. Mental Health is more important than content
The Peter Pan music at the beginning, I think I love you now.
Zack Snyder definitely missed the point of the Justice League. We saw them as being above humanity and often seeing the heroes kill people. Wonder Woman did not need to break a guy’s neck or blow up someone. Batman was threatening to kill the Joker, Superman was barley in the movie and still no growth. The only redeeming characters were Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg.
I really didn't seem them being portrayed above humanity
@@madlord124 Man of Steel and BVS said otherwise. And to make that matter worst, either Zack or WB cut a part of BVS showing Superman cry when he failed to rescue everyone from the court showing Superman can care especially to those he wasn’t able to rescue them
@@KhanhNguyen-mh5ec I still don't see the heroes being protrayed above humanity, Superman isn't a maniac. MoS Superman broken down after killing Zod, for them to be portrayed being above humanity for me, they have to be distant or literary be robots trying to get it.
@@madlord124 Right he did only for him to undercut that with him smiling at Carol Ferris after destroying a piece of government tech like the government being a cartoon jokester annoying him.
New Frontier, Doom and Crisis on Two Earths are all better than ZSJL for sure. New Frontier specifically, and its comic, is the greatest DC story of all time IMO.
Snyder's attitude to slow-mo reminds me of amateur cooks who start using MSG in every dish the moment they knew about it without a second thought do they have to.
ZSJL isn’t perfect but it is WAYYYY better than the Josstice League, I think we can all agree on that.
Love how you used that cannibal's interview.
George Miller's justice league mortal the greatest DC movie that never happened.
it won't because of overstuff, imagine zsjl in 2 hours
@@seijiren5115 i don't think so.
@@seijiren5115 how do you know? We never saw it!!
When's the actual good justice league vid coming out
FAX'SSSSS
My personal pitch for a JL movie would be a hybrid adaptation of JUSTICE by Alex Ross & Jim Krueger and Tower of Babel by Mark Waid & Howard Porter, one thing to note is that this is following 6 other pitches for solo members of the League (Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, Aquaman & Green Lantern, to not make this too long I'd list the key plot points:
- Starts with a nightmare sequence where every hero sees themselves failing to save the world
- Brainiac is the antagonist, he hacks Batman's computers and obtains the plans to neutralize each member of the League, which he then gives to the villains each hero fought in their previous solo movies
- Almost every hero is incapacitated, nearly killed, Batman manages to escape and tries to quickly save each hero
- From this point the team begins to form (No one still knows that the plans they were attacked with were from Batman)
- By this point, Barry is waiting to marry Iris, Hal is trying to balance his responsibilities as a Lantern and his life on earth, Diana is still adjusting to living among mortals, Clark has just learned about the world he comes from in his solo movie and Bruce is suffering of intense paranoia after the events of his solo movie (Which I based on Court of Owls)
- The team learns about Brainiac, who at this point unites the villains promising them a spot to rule the earth (Which of course is a lie), Lex is the only one to pick on this and actually sets up a betrayal against Brainiac
- All of this leads to the final confrontation, which at first resembles the nightmare where the heroes failed, but while in the nightmare they were on their own, here they begin to overcome it by fighting together
- The final battle against Brainiac happens in his ship as he tries as a last measure to blow up earth like he did Krypton (Which is a revelation from the Superman solo movie)
- By the end Batman reveals the plans to take down the league were his, so while the League is formed, there's now a friction towards Batman, who by the end of this film learns he needs to begin trusting again
I'd rather have Brainiac as a purely Superman villain. Personally I'd go with a foe that's more of a Justice League villain.
I love how you edited the flying theme from Peter Pan into the justice league theme fantastic video by the way.
After this series you should try doing Transformers because the franchise we got I don’t think it was as good as what we could’ve gotten. It’s a little messy with the sequels
Bumblebee did reboot it though
Well, the answer is pretty simple. Have transformers be actual characters of the story instead of an excuse for some big bangs. For example, have Optimus Prime be an actual leader instead of just some robot who monologues a lot, give others the reasons to follow him (also don't have him to be a douchebag, real Optimus Prime will never kill someone who saved his life, even if it his mortal enemy) Have decepticons be sentient beings instead of just some monsters or stereotypically evil guys (also don't give them monstrous appearence, after all decepticons and autobots are the same race after all, characters design is another thing movies messed up btw) And be sure to make it a Transformers movie, not human movie with transformers.
Flashpoint was meant to be a Flash story arc from the beginning,so of course it feels like a flash story when the movie is based on an event never meant to be an event but a flash story.
Was that... "I Do Believe In Fairies" from the live action Peter Pan score? Dude, I love that movie!
You deserve more subscribers man
I agree. This channel is so good :)
@@onepresence9460 it is. I hope it will grow fast this or next year
@@o.a.j.8168 Me too. Fingers crossed ^^
Wait, that was the soundtrack for Peter Pan at the beginning! The movie with Jason Isaacs as Hook! Great vid. anyway.
One thing i dont like about the dceu is the lighting its always so dark but they superheroes it’s supposed to be light and colorful.
Which is funny that The Batman is litterally darker visual but it has the light at the end of the movie more than all snyder films
I know everyone hate the Joss-tice league, but I appreciated the fact Joss tried to make the heroes more... Heroic ? At least with what Zach already filmed . Especially Superman. Things werent as dark, boring and depressing as Batman V Superman. But yeah its a messy movie with weird cgi and conflicting tone, but I thought it was a step in the right direction for DC.
I thought it went too far into the campy territory. Many of the new scenes really made no sense (who the heck robs a place like that and Batman let them go?), a lot of the jokes made no sense (let's discredit stories of possible alien encounters in a world where Aliens are KNOWN to exist), and oversaturation of colours to the point where everyone looks like they got a bad sunburn.
You forgot Ben Affleck's cancelled justice league movie.
it's cancelled too so nothing to be said
@@seijiren5115 then also it's a interesting topic.
I’d give almost anything to see Justice League Mortal. I’ve read the script multiple times. I love it.
They should just get James Gun and make a Giffen and DeMatteis run inspired movie
I think eventually that would be incredible but having having a good classic Justice League movie would be even better imo
@@mr.master2017 how about Geogre Miller as the director for justice league.
James Gunn would be great for the JLI
@@kaicreech7336 absolutely not.
@@kaustubhpalkar792 I think he’d most likely be interested but maybe he’s changed his mind since jl mortal. Idk if I’d want a movie like that tho cuz haven’t read the script and I think it wouldn’t do as well now as it would back when it was developed(based on the videos I’ve watched about it including this one). I think Superframe does a great job describing the qualities a good JL movie should have. DCU has such untapped potential in terms of representation on film. If WB-Discov got their act together and made proper movies about these incredible characters(aside from a few exceptions ofc) they would probably have a bigger film franchise than MCU
Superman:check
Batman:check
Wonder woman:check
Aquaman;wait where’s aquaman
Flash:check
Green lantern:check
Hawkgirl:ok
I wish we god Justice League Mortal. Just seemed so comic accurate which isn’t always a guarantee for success but I get tired of comic book movies that feel ashamed to be one. It reminded me of the DCAU in a sort of way. Would’ve been really cool to see Wally become flash
Cj: Aww shit, here we go again
Super frame video how to make a justice league movie in video made in 2059.
Still waiting for a good justice league
This is what I've been saying all this time, Snyder doesn't understand heroes. For him, all heroes are like Doctor Manhattan or Punisher, he hates heroic characters that represent something and go "by the book", like James Gordon would say.
Why Trevor Donovan for Aquaman? Believe me, he was my top pick for Aquaman about two years ago. But that was when I solely fancasted on appearance. Donovan has basically only starred in Hallmark movies for the past decade, he's just a pretty face tbh.
I think you should go with Jordan Patrick Smith. He's Scottish-Australian, 33 years old, and 6'1". He can play the warrior type like he did in the show Vikings and can play the clean-cut version of Aquaman like he did in Lovecraft Country.
Love the video and can't wait for Part 2!!
I would've went with Garrett Hedlund for Aquaman, but I definetely see your pick working. Still don't get Frame's choice.
@@goj1_lag00n Garrett Hedlund is a solid pick
Bro this batman can barely beat a single parademon😂😂😂😂imagine what Arkham Batman LET ALONE comic batman would do to batfleck. Bro most animated batmen would slap the shit outta Batfleck
I think starting off with the Darkseid War was a bad move and then they’re started building up the injustice league or at least it seems that way.
There’s Lex, Deathstroke, Black Manta, Joker and Reverse Flash maybe or Captain Cold, and Cheetah.
Idk if the Flash movie will ever exist or if there’s anything to go on aside from Keaton’s Batman being in it but I’m assuming Reverse Flash will at least be in it.
Black Adam is also a possible member.
anthony starr should definitely play reverse flash.
He could showcase the madness and obsession so well.
Joker isn't good pick for a team. Someone like Bane would be much better.
Starting with Darkseid or anything Apokolips related is a bad move for real. From the narrative standpoint, it just lowers the stakes for future installments. You see, when heroes defeated literal god, a bunch of freaks like Legion of Doom won't be such a problem for them. Darkseid is a villain that needs tons of build up to appear which wasn't the case with Snyderverse.
@@goj1_lag00n yeah. I think maybe vandal savage might be better.
@@ProjektTaku Vandal should be the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, in my opinion. The one who's in charge of basically anything the heroes face, yet stays off spotlight.
MAN USED THE PETER PAN MUSIC I AM DEAD, HAPPIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE
Bullet dodged with Armie Hammer
The first part in a two part series of videos where I pitch my ideal justice league movie, first though he have to understand the history of the movies that have come before. Let me know your ideal JL lineup in the comments and why, extra points for more interesting answers.
Question, I know it’s been done before but will you have your Good Justice League movie be a Secret Origins one?
My JL line up would be made of heroes who represent the best of each part of the DC universe:
Superman - The greatest super hero
Batman - The greatest vigilante/ street level hero
Wonder Woman - The greatest warrior/ sword - magic hero
Flash (Barry Allen) The greatest speedster/ sci-fy hero
Green Lantern (John Stewart*) - The greatest space hero
Zatanna - The greatest magician/mystical hero
J'onn J'onzz - The greatest mentor/ experient hero
* In my pitch, I would have Hal Jordan being capture by the villains, leaving Earth without Green lantern. Before they took him, Hal would send his ring to John (already established as one Hal's closest friends in the army), making him the new green lantern. He would join the heroes to save Jordan.
for me my line up is the founding seven and in a sequel maybe add characters like Hawkgirl and Green Arrow
my line up would be:
Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Flash
Aquaman
Green lantern
Cyborg
Ideal Roster (first movie):
1. Batman
2. Superman
3. Wonder Woman
4. Martian Manhunter
5. John Steward (Green lantern)
Obviously you need the holy trinity at least in the first film, and Martian Manhunter needs some love. He is such a good character that has been completly neglected. John Steward complete the roster alternatively you can use Hal Jordan but I like John better and he has been more relevant in the JL in past years. The first film should focus on these 5 guys and develop their dynamics before you can even think on expanding the roster.
I love you're How to make Bad DC movies. I loved your Superman & Flash videos. Keep it up.
bruh this man is literally my new english teacher😂😂😂
All of his videos on how to make the perfect whatever movies have been spot on I have no reason to believe these will not be either
why dc not hired this guy already, he's perfect
Exactly
I remember when the diehard DCEU fans were defending the Wheaton cut when it first came out
Did they?
zsjl was pretty good though
Step 1) Hire Zach Snyder.
I think Snyder wants Superman to be the Justice Lord Superman.
I still want my Justice League International film
faaxxxxxxxxxxx
I think that they should do trilogies of single characters and then a trilogy of the team and then go back to a fully trilogy. without in its clear in marvel that from avengers 1-2 if you dont want watch anything else the whole beginingg with hydra doesnt really make sense, cause its different to the end of the last film. and also characters grow in their single movies between avengers films making it strange. if you skipped iron man 3, you would be confused as to why tony doesnt have a reactor in his heart.
They really should.
That's a good idea, fits DC better
still here waiting for part 2
how to make a bad justice league movie
1. rush one into production with no plan or set up
2. doesn't commit into one tone and feels like a complete mess
3. make the team don't feel like a team and feels boring not interesting.
that's how you make a bad justice league movie.
on a serious note though i think justice league movie can work if you have the right story and adapt the team as actual characters and be a team could make this movie amazing at least in my opinion.
I honestly liked the justice league Snyder cut but he does make interesting points
The Snyder Cut is a good movie, but it's still not the movie that Justice League deserves.
SUPERFRAME I got out of school the Friday before this video came out and I’m going back to school next week 😬
Where's part two 😭😭😭
How to make bad justice league movie? WB already did 😂
I'm glad you changed your John Stewart pick from Michael Jai White to Sterling K. Brown. He's my top pick as well
Well, I think we already know how to do that. Such a thing has existed for five years.
The intro had me hype
Its a good ZSJL is a good justice league movie still, that has some of the feels of the comics and animate movies. but in a new and different presentation with an intriguing story...
why it cant be long? It gives it a good pace. Most have seen a whole netflix season for 10 hours. 4 is not bad. & it goes fast.
I think the movie was as long as it needed to be to develop the characters and give them satisfying arcs. I loved how each member of the team was essential to winning and their was no weak link among them.
You must me talking about Zack Snyders justice leauge.
Why is killer croc fully done with makeup all over his body but cyborg, one of the members of the Justice league is this CGI monstrosity? Surely a suit that made him more jacked, looked like or was made of metal, amd maybe had a CGI arm woulda been a worthy investment for your flagship superhero team.
I don't know how they would have done what Zack wanted practically. His arm and leg joints are super thin compared to the rest of his body like hinges, and his torso has many moving parts that couldn't be made practically.
that's what they did in doom patrol, and while it wasn't perfect, it was much better than the movie. I could imagine a bigger budget suit looking amazing.
do how to make a good green arrow or flash show, since the cw shows always disappointed me.
Get Snyder to direct it
I loved snydercut but I see it's bad sides as well I'm not blind
They already made a extremely bad Justice League movie
The Justice League is definitely not my favorite superhero team (you can't beat Fantastic Four), but I still like them. And I wish they got a good movie.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 , X-men have always been my favorite team tho
I've always been one who believed Synder didn't understand characters like superman. Making them more superior instead of empathetic and human. Look forward to the next video.
This was an interesting take on the flaws of the various iterations of JL.
My biggest problem has been that it does not seem like anyoje who has been in charge of these movies actually understands the characters. If we r lucky, they may know the very broad strokes of some of the major storylines, but they do not understand what made those storylines iconic or seminal. Snyder definitely did not understand them. his vision was always too muddled, literally and figuratively on all aspects. and to be honest, he just made a worse version of the Boys. I hope that the studio and snyders successors learn from ALL of his mistakes
