If I were in charge of making a Justice League film series, I think I would have Martian Manhunter in charge of bringing them all together as one.

Naturally, the Trinity (Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman) would be part of the lineup alongside J'onn J'onzz. You can't make any kind of Justice League movie without any of those three.

In regard to Green Lantern, my choice would be, by default, John Stewart. Alan Scott would be too old, Kyle Rayner would be too young, Guy Gardner would be too much of a jerk, obscure female Lanterns like Jennifer-Lynn Hayden and Anya Savenlovich would be too big a gamble, and I'm pretty sure it will be a miracle if Warner Bros. even considers putting Hal Jordan on the team after the less-than-stellar performance of "Green Lantern." Besides, Stewart is my personal favorite Lantern. I grew up with him on "Justice League" and "Justice League Unlimited."

Next on my lineup would be Black Canary. Call it a gamble if you will, but if you look at Dinah Lance's background at being the estranged daughter of the first Black Canary, the set up really flares out more dramatic potential than the 'ultra-heroic' Aquaman (who would be the last hero I would put on the Justice League because of his uselessness in far too many scenarios).

Then there's Shayera Hol, the Silver Age Hawkgirl. A few tweaks would be made to the character's background (I bet nobody ever considered putting both Shayera Hol and Shayera Thal in the same continuity before...the fore would be Katar Hol's sibling while the latter would be his spouse), but you still get the same easily angered Thanagarian as we know her.

If you think I forgot someone, I didn't. Let's just say that Barry Allen as the Flash came in late for this comment like he shows up late for everything else. Even though Wally West is my favorite Flash (and according to IGN's top 100 Superheroes list, a lot of other fans' favorite Flash), I wouldn't want the movie to have the exact same lineup as the animated television series. Bruce Timm would probably throw a fit and send the Joker to finish me off.

In terms of a villain for the movie, why not make it the Martian Manhunter's own twin brother, Ma'alefa'ak J'onzz? That would be a twisted irony.

This is just how I would invision and write a Justice League movie. It would be more...unique then what most have dished out over the years.
