Justice League Movie: 'Kick-Ass' Comic Writer Mark Millar Talks 'Batman vs. Superman' Movie, 'Man of Steel 2,' 'Justice League Movie'
Mark Millar knows comics all too well as he is the creator of Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl, the books on which the popular Kick-Ass film series is based.
But Millar has his own opinions on other comic movies and shared those thoughts in an interview with Total Film. Someone asked him through Facebook specifically about the Man of Steel sequel (aka Batman vs. Superman aka "The Batman/Superman movie").
Here's what Millar had to say when asked if DC was rushing the Batman/Superman movie in 2015:
"No, not at all; I actually think it's a brilliant idea. Justice League would have been a really weird move for them. Could you imagine doing The Avengers without doing Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and everything beforehand?
With the Justice League, you're talking about seven different dimensions that these characters are coming from.
The Martian Manhunter comes from Mars, with Wonder Woman you have to explain the Paradise Islands populated by Amazons, the Green Lantern you'll have to reintroduce because nobody saw the first film *laughs* and then there's the Flash, and Aquaman and the undersea kingdom of Atlantis - how on earth do you possibly explain that?
That's seven movies that you've somehow got to explain in the first act of a JLA film, so I think they're really wise in what they're doing, by just keeping with the two that everybody knows.
I actually don't think that a Justice League movie would have done any more business than Superman Vs. Batman. At the moment, nobody really cares about those other characters anyway yet."
Kick-Ass 2 is in theaters now.
