So supposedly the fate of a Justice League movie right now is contingent on Man of Steel being a hit. If itisa hitZack Snyder will direct the Justice League movie.

lose/lose.
If man of steel fails, DC is basically done with movies. It will likely kill the JL dark movie as well.
If man of steel succeeds. more grim dark shit. and more Snyder/Nolan. Chances of seeing, Booster gold, JLI, JSA, Blue beetle, Question, etc. Zero.

The DC Execs make the most retarded decisions
The DC movies have mostly been stinkers while the cartoons do justice to both classic and new story lines. The opposite is true for Marvel. The movies have mostly been quality, and the cartoons have been silly parodies. The execs are just being risk averse and want to stick with what has made them money in the past.The DC Execs make the most retarded decisions. Avengers did billions, and DC is still asking itself if a JLA movie is feasible.

B.S. DC Execs are beyond retarded. They just canceled Young Justice prematurely, and it was the second highest rated cartoon on TV. They don't know what they are doing, and they are mired in excessive politics. There was an article (which I posted on FOH, but can't find now) that pretty much said that DC is divided in half, under two Execs. One of these Execs will be next head of DC Comics. Nothing is getting greenlit because if you vote for a project in the wrong camp, you are seen as taking sides. No one is taking sides, so nothing not much is getting greenlit. Instead of acting like one united company, they are acting like rival companies, but they are in the same building. They are spending more time infighting than on managing their business. Creative suffers because the suits are calling the shots.

I thought Young Justice got canceled because of Cartoon Network and them not making enough from merchandise off of it. Same reason Thundercats and on Disney Tron: Uprising were canceled.
I loved Young Justice and was hoping we'd get a JL series by the same creators because I loved the JL team in this universe even more so than the old JL series. Too bad somebody doesn't understand what a good TV show is.

DC and Cartoon Network are owned by the same parent company, so that should tell you the politics going on. It was a hit show, that was canceled. And since when do toy sales become more important than ratings?

I remember when Cars 2 was coming out. I, and every other thinking human, was all "What the fuck, Cars sucked! Make Incredibles 2!". But then it was mentioned that though Cars was the worst reviewed Pixar movie it had sold TEN BILLION DOLLARS in merch in the 5 years since release.
Yeah, toy sales are a big deal.

I'll take the Marvel approach, they give us a variety of their heroes, without much regard to toy sales. DC just keeps churning out Batman, Superman and Teen Titans for toy sales. I love Batman, but he's had like umpteen episodes.
Hell, the average age of a comic book reader is 28. DC's not having much success, because they keep trying to cater to 10 year olds. Almost every time a DC cartoon is canceled, it's over toy sales. You never hear of that being in the equation for a Marvel cartoon.
Toy sales should have nothing to do with telling a good story. At DC, toy sales > creative. That's not right.
That Cars figure does not surprise me. Look at the coin Thomas the Tank Engine brings in. I'm not sure you can really compare that to comic book movies, though, unless your demographic is 5-10 year olds.
I always hated DC when I was younger, and loved Marvel. Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, etc always seemed cheesy as fuck and terrible characters.
X-men had a lot more going for it, and most of the other characters peripheral to that comic are what I enjoyed. That's not to say cheese does not sell. I was amazed the Fantastic Four movie did decently as that seems similar to DC works
It's too bad the Lobo film never came to fruition. It was a blatant ripoff, but as a good chunk of Marvel was borrowed from DC, and that would've at least had a good backstory.

I think this is complete bullshit. flash, martian manhunter, green lantern, question, Dr fate ect all have great stories you can do. The studios are just fucking retarded an if the were able to pull off black widow and hawk eye in the avengers I see no reason to say they can't pull off wonder woman or aquaman
