Marvel had 4 years of build-up to Avengers (starting with IM 1 and IH in 2008). And all those movies leading up to it were (arguably) good, stand-alone films. Well, maybe IM2 isn't exactly stand-alone, but you get the idea. Each cast member was well-chosen to fit the role and not necessarily because of their fame/stardom/notoriety.

In order for a Justice League film to have the same success as Avengers, WB will need to use Man of Steel to begin laying the groundwork (maybe even reference the GL movie). Then have the Flash and second GL movies build on MoS's foundation. Then get a new Batman up and running (no way would Nolan's world fit in with GL, let alone Flash or Supes). WW and Martian Manhunter/Hawkman/Hawkgirl could all be introduced the same way that Black Widow and Hawkeye were done (e.g. without their own movies, but as cameos in other films).

I'd also like to see the Legion of Doom or something similar as the JL villains, but that may be too many characters to juggle. Darkseid or Despero would probably work, though.

I honestly think it could work, but it would require at least 4 years of build-up, same as Avengers did. Maybe more.

I agree its going to take alot of work.. but im thinking they are going to have to be a bit more darker than the avengers.. DC heroes are the purest in terms of superhero and they are going to have to face a threat where they can actually lose and make it believable.. I mean, a guy like superman and mix him up with batman, green lantern, and wonderwoman. They have so much firepower you are gonna have to smack something apocalyptic at them. (especially if in their own movies they face a world disaster every single time and fix it single handedly)
