I'd love to see a live-action Justice League movie, but it will be tricky because of the success Marvel's had with The Avengers. There will be claims of "copying" and "only doing it for money", but I think a Justice League movie is inevitable in the near-future.

As for your questions;

They CAN do justice to a JLA movie. And to do this, Warner/DC need to either mimic the cartoonish and cinematic style of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or differentiate themselves and take a darker, and grittier path, a la The Dark Knight Trilogy'. I'd prefer the latter.

The members of the League will be a decision made by suits at a board meeting, who want to throw their most profitable characters into the film. Unquestionably we'd be getting Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. I think the JLA movie would continue the "Original 7" concept, so contenders for the remaining four positions would likely be Aquaman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, a Green Lantern, Black Canary, Green Arrow, or Hawkgirl/woman.

I don't like getting into casting, so I'll leave that to the rest of you. However, I think Armie Hammer would make a great Bruce Wayne/Batman.

As for villains, I'm inclined to think that the screenwriter would shy away from the alien invasion storyline, seeing as The Avengers claimed it. I'd like to see a more political story, so perhaps Vandal Savage or Ra's al Ghul could be involved somehow. No doubt sequels would involve alien armadas from Apokolips as well as villainous team-ups, but let's start small.

And of course I want to see a live-action Justice League, but regardless of my enthusiasm for one, I'm certain/hopeful the first Justice League will be an absolute flop. Certain because I feel like Warner and DC are rushing it through, and hopeful because then I can helm a successful DC movie universe one day! :P
