@Hotscot: budget concerns probably. and the fact that mel gibson probably would either A: not do it or B: take over the project and remake max as the second comming
I think that an uncredited star of the "Max" movies was the awesome and cruel landscape of the Australian outback, casting the human action into stark relief. How could this be represented in an anime format?
Thank god Miller is off this movie. His cast as well as the early script leaks were awful. Get Bruce Timm in there! He'll show them how to make a Justice League movie!
Not gonna lie here but I'm terrified to see how Justice League and Avengers turn out... too many style differences within the characters for any director to face. Who's the main character? Multi point of view would be too long and confusing. Plus there's way too many bright colors... I just hope that there's a lot of conflict between Batman and Superman. In fact I hope they hate each other at the end of this movie. Maybe set up for a Batman vs. Superman.
@Spoonman360: Oceans 11, Dirty Dozen, Magnificent Seven, Saving Private Ryan, X-Men, the list is long and illustrious of big cast action films. It can totally be done.
They just need to accept the fact that people know these characters and they don't need (yet another) origin story. Just plop Supes, Batman, and Wonderwoman in a battle for the world and everyone will just accept that there is a shape shifting martian along for the ride.
@Grrsn Dn: True, but tell me how much of a die hard fan are you of Sgt. Mike Horvath, Major Reisman or Rusty Ryan? X-men is an exception but I don't know how many people if any have a vast collection of "Rogue" comic books under their bed. I'm just playing devil's advocate here on behalf of the die hards. Even though I'm not one myself.
@Spoonman360: They don't all have to be superstars in the film. Trust me, decades of comics have settled who the stars are. The rest will be supporting. I use those films as an example of how big casts can be done well, now replace the good characters above with classic icons and you've got a hit.

I just don't get it..This type of movie needs to be completely live action.
Baffled..

Yeah, on second thought, screw that and just have Timm do a movie based on the DCAU Justice League.
