Villain: In a perfect world, I’d say Darkseid, but with Thanos as a lock for Avengers 2, using another purple ultra-powerful genocidal alien might make DC look like a copycat.

Forget Darkseid, they can’t really use any aliens, because it would look too copycat of The Avengers. And I can’t see Martian Manhunter being brought in without an alien invasion plot, because I’m not sure that DC are brave enough to do a Martian Manhunter stand alone movie. For someone who has been described as ‘the heart of the justice league’, he isn’t exactly on the level of the other guys in terms of public recognition is he?

If they were going to do the Legion of Doom idea, they’d have a hard time making them a convincing threat as a team, because only Superman and Green Lantern have major villains that could be a threat to all of the heroes (I’m talking Brainiac instead of Lex Luthor here). Joker is only a threat to Batman really, and whilst Captain Cold or Doctor Zoom could conceivably give most of the team a hard time, they would be no match against the big blue boy scout. But if they wanted to unite the Justice League to face a threat that would involve all of the team, why not use Amazo? He has all the powers of Green Lantern, Flash, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter (read Superman) and Aquaman (who could be removed from the equation to allow for some underestimation of Batman).

Chris Evans would make a great Barry Allen/ Flash, but I don’t think he’d want to get type cast as a Superhero Film Actor. Flash and Wonder Woman would be the most interesting casting choices, because they haven’t been done in film yet. Whether or not Ryan Reynolds should be brought back to play Green Lantern is the only question about Green Lantern. As for directors, if JJ Abrams is booked up, what about Bryan Singer (X-Men’s 1/ 2/ First Class & Superman Returns)?
