With Warner Bros. executive Jeff Robinov's comments about Batman and 'Justice League' earlier this week, I didn't even mention director Zach Snyder's upcoming 'Superman' film.
And now it apparently doesn't matter, as Synder told HeyYouGuys.co.uk at the UK "Sucker Punch" premier that the two films will not be connected.
"Like what Chris Nolan is doing and what I’m doing with 'Superman,' what they’ll do with 'Justice League' will be it’s own thing with it’s own Batman and own Superman," Synder said. "We’ll be over here with our movie and they’ll kinda get to do it twice which is kinda cool."
This leaves only Green Lantern as potentially having a tie-in movie by the time a "Justice League" film would presumably begin production. Of course, Marvel is betting the farm on the opposite approach of introducing just about everyone before the "Avengers" ties together Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and The Hulk into one film.
It should make "Avengers" a more powerful film, but it also opens the super-franchise to a lot of risk. One bad movie could taint the entire system, as "Iron Man 2" came close to doing last summer.
It'll be at least two years before we see a "Justice League" film, but we're talking about one again. For DC, that has to be a victory in itself.
