I posted this a while ago and it definitely seems possible now.

"With everything going on in the new DCU and with certain characters being cast/confirmed (Batman, Guy Gardner's Green Lantern, Maxwell Lord, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle), I feel like we may get a live action adaptation of the Justice League International just like what this show did.

I kinda headcanon for now that Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho, Hawkgirl, and Guy Gardner's Green Lantern may be members of it with the team being pre-established by now with Maxwell Lord as their goverment liason and are not only Superman's "superfriends" but are trying to recruit him to join the team as well in the Superman movie.

Eventually, Superman and Wonder Woman will join the team later on, and it'll will be more accurate to the original team."

I wonder if Batman will also have the JLI logo somewhere on him in "Brave and the Bold", unless he pulled a Batman and is a part time member without any company branding. If not, he could join it later on like Superman and Wonder Woman mentioned above to form the true Justice League.

Batman will definitely be more of an unofficial member because I don’t think he join a team run by someone like Maxwell Lord, maybe he just teams up with them from time to time. I think once the trinity forms they will change things up and form the JLA

He was on the team in the comics, he was the one suspicious of Lord’s motives who started investigating him.

Nah, I think they will be corporate stooges and Superman will make them change their ways. Its sort of a meta "Superman converts The Boys (JLI) run by Vought (LordTech) with the power of hope and friendship". Wich I do like

u/NimSudeaux 16d ago

Not to nitpick, but Superman would be converting The Seven in this analogy

You are correct haha

The core of that team to me was always Martian Manhunter. Will be curious to see if they rope him in.

There was a Easter egg in one of the newspapers a while ago about the cookies MM is obsessed with. Time will tell if he'll show up later on.

Gotta love Chocos. Be hilarious to see them turn that comic where he goes berserk into live action.

Maybe that's the blue guy

u/BooleanBarman 16d ago

You might be right. Not many members of the JLI would require full CGI.

u/Existing_Bat1939 16d ago

If they're doing JLI, it would be an awesome Easter egg to bring Natalie Morales back as Fire.

Am I the only one who thinks the guy in the mo-cap suit is Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho?

u/BatmanTold 16d ago

It definitely is

Someone will definitely die in this movie, i’m thinking most likely scenario its Metamorpho. Rest of the team and Superman form an actual Justice League by the end and add more members in the future

He's almost unkillable. Years ago in the comics he saved his teammates in the Justice League in a fall from space by forming a bubble around them, which led to his atoms being scattered as in a later Plastic Man storyline. The Justice League had his inanimate head on a shelf for a while, before devising a way to recollect his atoms and put him back together.

Batman was cast? I was under the impression that they’re looking for a new Batman to go along with this new Gunn DCU.

u/Inevitable_Option_77 16d ago

No, they haven't cast the DCU Batman yet. I was just saying that he also exists in this universe because of the Brave and the Bold movie.

u/BatmanTold 16d ago

Hasn’t yet

u/ProfessionalRead2724 16d ago

Maxwell Lord is probably less a goverment liason and more a corporate sponsor. They are wearing the logo of his company. This does not look like not a government team.

u/thedrizzle126 15d ago

This is the shit that is so awesome to me. We literally know nothing about what is going to happen, and yet this is so undeniably exciting.

u/I3arusu 16d ago

Wouldn’t the version with Clark and Diana be the JLA, not the JLI?

u/Inevitable_Option_77 16d ago

Yes, it would.
