DC's direction

So, DC/WB has decided not to take the Avengers Initaivate approach and are going to make another Man of Steel film. This time however, Batman will be in the film. I think this is a good idea. DC/WB would be starting this too late to try and do what Marvel is doing. The best bet is to try and take their own approach.

The Dark Knight Trilogy was a good place to start. It sets a standard for other DC films that the Man of Steel has continued. Of course, with Christian Bale unlikely to return as the Capded Crusader, DC/WB  will have to find a replacement for him. Also, they are going to have to make all other films leading up to the eventual Justice League within the Man of Steel Universe. This could work. However, I think that all films are now going to have to be as big as the Man of Steel because anything smaller will be considered a waste of time and a failure.

Also I think to save time and money, DC/WB should  do more crossover films with other Justice League members. So that they don't have to make more separate films. That means, disregarding the Green Lantern film and starting again with that or teaming him up with another member in a different film. This applies to other members and their cinematic appearances as well.

Also, all of the films will have to have a similar tone to that of Man of Steel. But still remain individual and unique. As tall an order as it sounds. Marvel did it. DC/WB are more than capable of doing it. They just have to make sure that they plan it and execute it.

The only real fear I have for the Justice League film is that it will have to be so huge in terms of scale to top Man of Steel, that it will end up having to cut corners somewhere. I think that if they try to make to it too big it will begin to lose itself and the story may suffer. But it's early days. So, we will have to see what happens.
