Origin story, he was one of the guys on the white team in Dark Knight Rises :

Anyway hopefully this movie will kick ass.
 
wonder if this means we'll be looking at Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Aquaman, and Cyborg for Justice League

Really hoping they go with John Stewart.

or hell, Guy Gardner.

edit: Shit, can you imagine the Guy Gardner/Batman interactions on screen?
 
I can see it now:

'Booker T as Martian Manhunter'

as for Hawkgirl, ain't nobody got time for that shiet.

Nooooo! I like Booker, but he's not MM material.

As for no Hawkgirl. Get yo' shit in check. There ain't gonna be no 'totally isnt a Justice league movie' without the ass kicking goddess Shayera.
 
don't think it will affect the movie and the move teases fans as to where they are going. Wonder what roster they have in mind for their Justice League movie.

Well based on the addition of Cyborg, I'd have to imagine the one been pushing the last few years especially with the new 52 relaunch.

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, GL, The Flash, Cyborg and either Aquaman/Shazam.
 
Says it right in the OP that he's not a big part of the movie...

It's bolded and everything.

So he'll have a character arc that takes up 30 min of runtime instead of the 40 every other character clearly is going to need and receive?

Movie will be 8 hrs long. Will not watch.
 
Same. As much as everyone is saying this movie is "bloated," I can easily see how all the pieces fit together....except Diana.
Yup. I still think they're gonna fold her into Superman's origin story. I can't see them introducing her character cleanly without doing that.

Hell they did his entire origin as a b-plot in Justice League War and that was like 80 mins

And introduced the Justice League members.

Granted, I won't even defend that movie for pacing or character development outside of Cyborg.
 
As for WW, this will likely be an intro. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't even see her or Cyborg in costume or referred to as heroes of any kind.

In WW's case, that would really only work if (a) there's a WW film coming before Justice League, or (b) JL has a major WW focus, and I don't see either happening.

Probably. Personally, if they go that route, I'd hope the most they do with it is say "the Amazons uncovered a Birthing Matrix from a Kryptonian drop ship and retrofitted it to start having babies again." I wouldn't want them to purge all the mystical elements from the character and just make her a Superman offshoot.

WW fans aren't that lucky ReiGun.

They don't necessarily have to explain Diana's origin in this movie. In fact, i'd prefer they kept her a mystery. Why not take advantage of the whole "universe" thing and save some of those time consuming elements for later.
 
At this point, they should just cast Green Lantern, Flash, and Aquaman and have the main villain be Starro.

Even though they'll be boring and use Darkseid as the first villain...I'd love it if they used Starro. None of that Starro the Conqueror shit either. I want the Justice League to fight a giant fucking starfish in their first big budget, live action flick.

I'd see it no less than three times, regardless of quality.
 
What if the Thanagarians are one of the first alien threats the Justice League has to defend Earth from?

Damn thing basically writes itself.



I just want to see WW suplex someone. I know that petite little flower they cast to play her has no chance in hell of pulling that off, but thank god we have CGI.
 
Excellent news!!! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Looks like Cavil is getting his wish as he said he would like Cyborg to be used. I wonder if they'll give us at least one "booyah". I'm also super happy about this news as it's likely gong to mean some diversity among the JL when it comes time to showcasing the team or the Justice League film when the time comes.

I just wish people would calm down and wait for more information before pulling out the tired "just name this Justice League" comments. It's really annoying seeing that on twitter and you just know those saying it think they're being clever. All the while ignoring that this is said to be a cameo. The idea that that WB/DC likely isn't going to be doing a a lot of solo films seems to be completely lost on a ton of people. If they can't copying Marvel they're failing or rushing, etc. It's getting to be beyond annoying.
 
Ugh, I wish DC would stop trying to make Cyborg a JL member happen. Get back to the Titans! :(

And while they're at it, there's still time to recast Wonder Woman! She looks fine and tall and all, but Gal Gadot's English-speaking is atrocious. I don't see them salvaging a good performance out of her even with a dialect coach without resorting to dubbing her lines.

They're not trying they've done it. Some people just have to accept it. They aren't turning away from it.

Wonder Woman probably should have an accent. She's really shouldn't sound like someone from California or Kansas or Florida while speaking English. If they had a issue with voice they wouldn't have casted her. We still don't know why they went with Gal Gadot anyway and won't know until we know about the story and until Snyder speaks on it as hes' likely the one that screen tested her.

Shortly after he was created, Cyborg was also in the last season of the Superfriends aka Geoff Johns's current lineup

They're most likely embracing the accent. She did win an audition for this after all.
 
I wonder if the Metropolis battle will lead to the injury/creation of both Metallo and Cyborg. One wants to kill superman, one wants to join him.

Her accent is the least of her issues. Unless they're going for the single female lawyer WW.
 
They are building towards to the New 52 line up aren't they? Except we probably won't get Aquaman and Martian Manhunter gets replaced by Cyborg... =/

Looks like it. They're pushing in that direction with the animated films. Maybe with the games too. Injustice: Gods Among Us had him as a member of the Justice League but they were going for a more Justice League Unlimited sized roster there I think.
 
Johns really needs to tell us what the other Leaguers said that made J'onn put the dukes on 'em.

Got Batman and Flash in the corner legit shook.
 
So nice that WB is trying to emulate the Avengers without having the slightest idea WHY it was so successful.

Hint: It involves fleshed out characters and writers/directors that actually respect the source material.
