>>Wasn’t the “Justice League” a Saturday morning cartoon?
That was Superfriends, which featured the Justice League of America. The JLA has been in comic books for over 50 years.
Note that for the movies, the JLA has had the “of America” cut off.
He looks like someone who would trigger “extreme vetting”.
I totally agree.
Originally it was Justice League, with 4 out of the 7 original members not America (and 2 of 7 not even being Earthlings) that worked. Then came International and America. But most of the time it’s been non-designated.
And he only saved sailors that fell overboard or mermaids or fish.
Charlie the Tuna was more exciting.
I wonder if the idea that Jeremy Piven's character could be both a ferocious, foulmouthed Hollywood agent and a devoted family man at the same time was another.
We may find out more about that soon.
Really? In its debut in Brave and the Bold #28 in 1960, it was clearly called the Justice League of America.
It was ‘Justice League of America’ since the first appearance in Brave &Bold 28 in 1960 until the first series ended at issue 261 in 1987. Then it restarted as a new series without the ‘of America’ later that year in a campy style. Since then there have been multiple titles carrying the first two words ‘Justice League’ or the JLA acronym.
He needed fixing...
He looks more like a Poseidon/Neptune character but it still seems like a step up from the blond underwater Ken doll.
Aquaman has fans? Who knew?
Dude looks bad-something in the costume & stuff, but I would expect something more like Mike Phelps.
I know a couple of ex-collegiate swimmer types and that’s not the body type you get. But yeah, hollyweird.
Anyway, they’ll be lucky if they pry the money out of me to go watch Star Wars this Christmas. Not big on paying them money anymore. Go fig.
“they built their universe on a termite-eaten foundation by building off of Man of Steel and Batman vs. Superman.”
Yep.
They ruined Superman by not making him what he was in the 1978 movie. If you’d have a Superman that was a wholesome protector of truth, justice, and the American way, Batman (with a proper actor playing him) would have been a perfect compliment to Superman. Instead, you have two characters that come off more like angry vigilantes with the only difference is that one is a ridiculously strong visitor from another planet. It makes little sense. Superman is a pretty boring character if you try and make him all complex and somewhat angry.
It’s a shame they can’t get these characters working together right since they did a very good job with Wonder Woman. I’m not a big fan of comic book movies, but Wonder Woman was fairly decent for some brain dead entertainment. Plus she is so easy to look at :-).
"What diabolical sinister mind devised these brilliant hand immobilization devices? CAN'T...BREAK...FREE...!"
It’s the Trident of Neptune, given to his chosen champion.
That is an over grown fork.
What Neptune gives to the meal delivery boy.
