Grön lykta
GLs icke-närvaro diskuterades med studionens bigwigs (Greg Silverman, president för kreativ utveckling Warner Bros och DC-producent Charles Roven) i en intervju med Entertainment Weekly. De hävdar att det finns tre skäl:
- Den gröna lyktan är för viktig en karaktär för att helt enkelt dyka upp i en ensembelfilm.
- Att de redan har något Green Lantern-relaterat i verken (förmodligen deras slated 2020 " Green Lantern Corps ).
- Att införa ännu fler tecken skulle vara förvirrande för publiken.
“[Green Lantern] is an incredible character. He’s actually multiple incredible characters,” Silverman says. “There’s real opportunity there. We didn’t do a great job on that first Green Lantern movie. This is a character who deserves to be treated in the same way that Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman are being treated now, which is with great reverence. I guess I can say to the Green Lantern fans: if they can be patient with us, I think they’ll be really happy.”
But how patient? Roven says we may not see Hal Jordan, John Stewart, or any incarnation of Green Lantern until Justice League – Part Two. Maybe. “Every beat of the movie is not yet worked out. So there’s the possibility that he may or may not be in Justice League 2,” the producer says. “For now, we felt that we were introducing enough characters that the best possible place we could put Green Lantern is some introduction in Justice League 2, or barring that, a movie after.”

Martian Manhunter
Senare DC manusförfattare David Goyer talade om att Martian Manhunter inte var i filmen på en Scriptnotes podcast . Han bröt ner det i fyra huvudorsaker. Det är förmodligen rättvist att säga att om han talar öppet, att dessa är utbredd övertygelse inom övre echelons av DCs filmteam.
- Martian Manhunter är för mycket av en okänd med publiken (och att de var glada att licensiera honom till Supergirl för intilliggande av just den anledningen).
- Att hans namn är " goofy " och dumt ljud.
- Att han nästan är omöjlig att använda i en ensembelfilm utan en lång back-story som förklarar hans existens.
- Att hans back-story är faktiskt ganska dum.
Martian Manhunter, AKA J'onn J'onzz, is of course the last survivor of an ancient Martian civilization, notable for being one of the cofounders of the Justice League of America. He has not been announced to appear in the upcoming Justice League film however, and based on what Goyer said when asked about the character, it's looking like he likely won't. After first dismissing Martian Manhunter as too obscure to matter, Goyer explained how he can't see making use of the character without removing nearly everything associated with the character. I'll just let his words speak for themselves:
"He can't be fucking called the Martian Manhunter because that's goofy. He can be called Manhunter... The whole deal with Martian Manhunter is he's an alien living amongst us... So he comes down to Earth and decides, unlike Superman who already exists in the world now, that he's just going to be a homicide detective... So instead of using super-powers and mind-reading and like, oh, I could figure out if the President's lying or whatever, he just decides to disguise himself as a human homicide detective. Dare to dream!"
"I would set it up like The Day After Tomorrow. We discover one of those Earth-like planets... So maybe like... we get the DNA code from that planet and then grow him in a petri dish here... He's like in Area 51 or something and we're just basically... doing biopsies on him."
