'Justice League' Villain Revealed?
While Marvel's production machine is in full swing on a number of Phase 2 projects, DC has seemed content with baby steps toward their epic superhero team-up 'The Justice League.' Today, however, a major component of the film appears to finally be in place. As we all know, superhero movies are as much defined by their villain as they are by their protagonists. We've therefore been waiting patiently to hear which baddie from the DC canon would be taking on the League. Now it looks like it'll be none other than Darkseid. Darkseid, a malevolent god and king of Apokolips, is one of the most powerful characters in the DC universe, and has often tangled with The Justice League and Superman individually in the comics. Reports indicate that Warner Brothers is aiming to get 'Justice League' into theaters by 2015; placing it possibly in direct contention with 'Avengers 2.'
This seems a suitable choice as far as I'm concerned. The difficult thing with any superhero team is that the villain chosen must pose a great enough threat to our planet in order to warrant the assembling of that much concentrated power. Darkseid is precisely the kind of threat that, like Loki and the Chitauri in 'The Avengers,' would prompt the forming of a union of heroes to protect the Earth. All that being said, I would highly advise taking this news with a grain of salt. It's not the official word from Warner Brothers, and the site that broke the story tends to be wrong as often as they are right. But for argument sake, let's say it is true. I am intrigued to see what the filmic version of Darkseid might look like. Would they be able to do any of that practically or would we be forced to suffer through an entirely digital Darkseid? Given that Warner Brothers gave the CG Green Lantern the green light, I think it's a very real concern. Hopefully they'll find a way to blend actor performance with digital technology and make Darkseid as imposing in the movie as he is in the comics.
What do you guys think? Is Darkseid the right choice for the 'Justice League' villain?

I've always thought about how I'd do a Justice League movie.
Darkseid was always the villain.
So yes. I enjoy this choice.
I wouldn't have minded seeing some sort of attempt to mix Braniac and the Manhunter stories, though. That migh've been a cool idea.

Shouldn't they save Darkseid for later, or do they want to copy Marvel's use of Thanos that same year too?

I'm really tired of origin stories. Some of these characters have be around for over 30 years and most of them are pretty boring as stand alones. The majority of the people should know some of the back story by now. I'd rather they just jumped to the JL and came up with a decent story, with some good fight scenes, dialog, and actors.

Not sure if this is going to play out too well. Marvel has done a much more fantastic job with their supperhero movies than DC. Most of the superheros from Marvel have had their own movies to introduce them very well and lead up to the Avengers. DC has had so many ups and downs. I didn't like Superman Returns all too much. I can only hope Man of Steel can convince me. The Green Lantern was really cheesy. The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Green Arrow have yet to be mentioned. And as for Batman. Well we can't have Batman unless Christian Bale is playing him. From what I heard he's not playing him anymore. They can't just repace him. I'm not just saying this because I like Marvel better. I'm just stating my opinoun on what I've seen so far.Well I guess I can't be too quick to judge. We'll just see what happens.

I would love to see Darkside in a Justice League movie, but wouldn't it be a smarter idea to start off the Justice League movie series with a less powerful being, but still a threat in a global scale. Darkside is basically a God and a manipulator, a puppet master, someone who's in the shadows but in complete control of everything. When you throw one of the most powerful villains in D.C. you've used it all up. Who else out there is stronger and equally threatening than Darkside?

Brett Ratner would be a far better villain. His superpower would be destroying Hollywood.
