Justice League of America and The Fantastic Four



Continued from yesterday's cover, we have a pairing of teams that quite frankly I am surprised took so long for me to get to.

It's amazing that after a lifetime of waiting, the Justice League of America is finally coming to life on-screen - and in more ways than one.  The extra early hype-machine for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has shown us the cinematic versions of its title characters as well as Wonder Woman and Aquaman.  Green Lantern and the Flash will be joining them for the Justice League 2-parter, with the Flash doing double duty as one of the many Justice Leaguers that the WB network is bringing to TV.  In addition to the shows featuring him and Green Arrow, a third spin-off (rumored to be titled Legends of the Future) will feature The Atom, Firestorm, Black Canary, Hawkgirl and more.  Just find a home somewhere in all those plans for The Martian Manhunter and this JLA fan will be completely fulfilled!

  2. I heard that the TV Flash and movie Flash will be different actors. Perhaps paving the way for Earth 1 / Earth 2 type movie/TV crossover in 2020...?

  3. Yup, it'll be two separate continuities apparently.

    1. How cool would it be if they acknowledged this with a "Flash of Two Worlds" TV/film crossover?

  8. They probably got shanghaied by Zatanna to hel her find her father. As for the cover as a whole? You've outdone yourself, again, Ross.

    Bravo, thanks, and two thumbs up!

  9. Sorry if I seemed to be over-enthusiastic. For some reason, my replies were slower-than-usual in being registered, post-robotic verification.

  10. I was hoping they were planning something like that when they brought back Mark Hamill as the Trickster - and John Wesley Shipp and Amanda Pays being recurring guest stars.

  11. A Martian Manhunter tv series could have an X-Files/Heroes feel to it, to make it work with audiences.

  12. Awesome cover - this would be epic!

    From what I understand Barry Allen is both the television and film The Flash, but played by different actors...?

  13. There will hopefully be no Martian aka hunter involvement because (1) he sucks and is just a poor man's Superman without any of the great mythos and (2) he sucks and we know too much about Mars now for any audience buy-in.
