Comedic dialogue

>comedic dialogue
>lovable characters
>high-stakes action
>fucking Batman

So why does WB not realize it has its answer to the MCU right here?

I'd rather wait for some brighter times than let Snyder get his paws on muh JLI.

You forgot
>Lesbian relationship
>Feminist character

Because casuals will think DC is aping off of Marvel instead of the other way around.

Snyder is out after JL, WB won't be giving him a 4th chance

MARVEL characters are better because they happen to get the stupid nature of the medium and have fun with it.

Batman and other DC heroes never ever do this and the ones that do are relatively new or just not popular enough to be front and center like a spider-man or iron man

>Loved Generation Lost
>Adore that Cookie story from the Martian Manhunter Ostrander run, one of my favorites of that comic and I fucking love it
>Loved the JLI in The Brave and the Bold
>I always enjoy when this era gets homaged or referenced, in Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Power Girl, whatever
>Have nothing against Giffen and De Matteis in general

Yet I bought three volumes of this and I couldn't get into it at all. Some of it was nice but I wasn't fond of the style, I wasn't fond of the tone, I wasn't fond of the adventures they had, I just didn't enjoy it very much.

Did the homages paint a wrong picture of this era of the JL for me, Sup Forums? Or was I just too hyped and I should come back to it later?

>I don't read comics but pretend to

No reason to assume it'd be Snyder. Who would you pick to direct, user? Casting ideas?

Maybe give it another go and take your time? The first two volumes are especially marred by interrupting crossovers. But by the first issue of volume 2 I was laughing out loud while reading.

It sounds like you should like it.

>I'm going to ignore the legitimate point brought up and question someone's familiarity with ancillary material when we are talking about movies

DC fans can't be this stupid?
I mean shit currently one of their most popular characters wasn't even made in a comic book

Same, man. I found the actual books kinda boring and the humor was just everyone being an idiot and rude to each other. I have to finish them though, maybe I'm missing something.

>No reason to assume it'd be Snyder. Who would you pick to direct, user? Casting ideas?
I don't know. Edgar Wright, maybe? But we know that real power would be in script. JLI must have twenty jokes per minute.

its already at one joke per attosecond user

the existence of the JLI is a joke

its great

i had this exact thought today, but there was a bit of a built up in the comics. imo the dceu is fucked by having superman die in his year of his career and by having batman be a 50 year old hardass, and also by having diana be a skelly jew.

there's rumors they're going to pull a flashpoint in the second flash movie ( who knows when that is ) so let's hope they get it right after that

also has best green lantern

Edgar Wright writing and directing
Lance Reddick as MMH
Keegan-Michael Key or Alan Tudyk as Blue Beetle
Nathan Fillion as Booster Gold
(They're all a bit old for the roles but ah well)
Tom Cruise as Maxwell Lord

It's because WB views Batman as the formula to a cinematic universe, not the exception that proves the rule

>>Lesbian relationship
Fire obviously wishes, but Ice is all over Guy's dick. Which makes no sense since he took her to a porn theater in their first date, but still...

> fun

There's your problem.

Didn't Fire bang Oberon?

Iron Man was a literally who character before RDJ became him. If they found the right team to make it work, it would work.

OK, let's look at the post.
>they happen to get the stupid nature of the medium and have fun with it.
Patently untrue, see Civil War, Avengers Disassembled, Dark Reign, hell Marvel literally pioneered dark and serious storytelling and was popular in the first place for taking the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man seriously and dealing with the complexities of the characters.

>Batman and other DC heroes never ever do this
This is bullshit, see Ambush Bug, JLI, Hitman/Section 8

>and the ones that do are relatively new
Not relevant and not true, also ignoring the fact that characters like Deadpool are also relatively new (Deadpool only debuted a year before Harley Quinn), and that most of Marvel's lighthearted characters didn't become prominent until the 2000's

>or just not popular enough to be front and center like a spider-man or iron man
Retarded point because both Spider-Man and Iron Man have mostly been in serious books and are CURRENTLY starring in serious books and events.

Your assertion that Marvel and DC are somehow different on a basic level in how they approach the genre is ridiculous and has not held any modicum of truth since the 1960's, and you'd know this if you've read absolutely anything from both published since that time, with a scant few exceptions that bill themselves as comedies.

So I can only assume you don't read any comics at all, because the alternative is to assume you're so monumentally stupid and desperate to make comics into some partisan issue you're fighting for that you've deluded yourself into thinking there is some inherent difference between these two companies that not only copy each other but freely exchange writers, artists, editors and even executives over the course of their 75 year histories.

Old, cranky Batman works perfectly for JLI.

>Alan Tudyk as Blue Beetle
>Nathan Fillion as Booster Gold
>Tom Cruise as Maxwell Lord

Fucking brilliant

Wait, I just got trolled hard, didn't I?

Would Channing Tatum be a good Captain Atom?

I just kinda generaly assume these threads are trollish in nature from the get go, I mean people don't /really/ get this upset that other people prefer reading different books about spandex clad muscle men punching each other than they do... do they?
