Will Justice League movie producers omit America from its title?
Uh oh, it looks like another comic book, in its transition to film, could undergo a shameful tampering job. In the New York Times, it's reported that:
While we're on the subject, the MTV Movies Blog found last month that the logo for the upcoming GI Joe movie may not have any red, white and blue in it. I was afraid this could happen, and won't be surprised if it does.
The project’s title has also undergone some rethinking over time. According to some involved with the film, the word “America” may drop out, to make the film more palatable abroad, an ever more important consideration for the big studios.Haven't they learned from the controversy that arose from when they omitted "Truth, Justice and the American Way" from the Man of Steel's slogan in Superman Returns 2 years ago? Now, it's possible that they may repeat that mistake with the movie based on Justice League of America, under the pure fantasy that foreign audiences won't see the movie simply because of that. It's not just insulting to domestic audiences, it's insulting to foreign moviegoers too. One more reason why the movie could tank.
