[QUOTE="Homicidal_Squirrel, post: 6286655, member: 6750031"] I've seen commercials for Arrow. I didn't know that was supposed to be Green Arrow. I tried to watch it once. That lasted about 10 minutes. I doubt even if the movies were good, that many people would care enough to go discover the source material. Besides, if you want a movie that is done well, you need to put money into it. A good writer is far more expensive than a bd writer. A good director is far more expensive than a bad director. If you can't convince the studios that there is a large audience for whatever movie you are wanting to make, you're not going to get a large investment from the studios. Thus, you are stuck with a smaller budget, and you need to prove that more money would get a larger audience. The Green Lantern movie, while admittedly terrible, still got people talking. They could have made a much better movie, right? They could have made a movie, that like the Nolan Batman movies was financially successful. With enough of that type of talk, someone who matters may decide that it is worth putting in more money to make a good Green Lantern movie, even though the first one was horrible. That being said, I don't think a Justice League movie will be any good. Sure, they can dump boat loads of money, get amazing actors, a great director, a group of awesomely talented writers, and the greatest special effects available, but the movie still has one weakness: it's a Justice League movie. And that was part of the problem. Comic book fans aren't enough to make a movie financially successful, at least not a big budget movie. In fact, I'd argue that targeting comic fans is a terrible idea. Fans of the comics are the most annoying, most absurd, most hate filled fans of movie adaptations. Nerd rage runs rampant any time a new movie is made of someone's favorite hero. Anything from the actor chosen to play the hero to what comics influenced the movies gets torn down. [/QUOTE]
