I have used many brands of vacuums in my line of work ( commercial cleaning service). I eyed this vacuum at my local Sears store and considered it for my home use. I loved the idea of having a bagless vacc. I also liked the features of this vacc such as the metal wand,, the adjustable height of the wand. And the way the power head attaches to the to wand. After several months, I purchased this vacuum. I have to say that I LOVE IT!!! I use it strictly for my own home. I was shocked at how much dirt was in my carpet. And I vacuum several times a week. This bagless vacc had the power to such up hidden dirt in my thick, heavy wall to wall carpet. What I love the most about this vacc is that with each use, I empty the dirt container and I basically am starting with a new vacuum. I hope this vacc lasts me for many years. That's how much I love it!

This little vac is wonderful! I tried a highly rated Samsung vac but I hated it. The Samsung was large, cumbersome, and had no suction on bare floors. I took it back and exchanged it for this little Kenmore. The Kenmore is easy to maneuver even in a tight space like my walk-in closet. If the canister has to be picked up to move or to vacuum in a small space, it has a sturdy handle and it is not very heavy to carry around. The wand is adjustable in length so I can get all the way under my king size bed and reach the corners of my 9 foot ceilings. The carpet/floor attachment is powerful on carpets and easy on bare floors. Changing from carpet to floor is a simple press of my thumb on the handle. The suction that can be adjusted by a little twist of a dial in the handle is excellent! The two most used tool accessories have a convenient attachment on the wand. While the canister is small, I vacuumed 3 carpeted bedrooms and all the bare floors in my house before the motor powered down in warning that the canister was full, which is another nice feature.

If you have a pet(s) do not buy this vacuum. It takes forever to clean out the canister and it is an extremely dirty job. I have to use plastic pliers to pull out the pet hair as it gets stuck inside. The canister has to be changed frequently as it is small. That said, the suction is terrific and the vacuum is easy to use except for cleaning out the canister. I've always bought Kenmore vacuums but this one is not for me. Too bad it's too late to return it. What was Consumer Reports thinking?

Purchased one of these in the Fall of 2013. Returned it within 30 days because the height setting did not function properly. After receiving a replacement unit, I found that the canister motor would not function. Called the help line and was told to disconnect and reconnect the hose into the canister. Problem temporarily solved. Unfortunately, the problem recurred necessitating a second call to the help line. Each time, the hose latch tab was snapped in place before hand. The problem has now occurred again and this time it took several attempts before the canister motor would function. To make matters worse, once the motor activates, after a few seconds it gives off a strong loud noise. Of course, the warranty period has now expired.

This vacuum cleaner is terrible. I have it 9 months now and it has given me nothing but problems. Paid $275.00 for it, so I feel stuck. I dread having to use it now. Takes me forever to vacuum because the filter constantly gets clogged. DO NOT BUY!!!

Clean up is a disaster with this vacuum. Dust and dirt get all over my clothes and home. I have to sweep AFTER vacuuming. Because it's such a mess, I go outside to empty it into a bag defeating the point of it being bagless AND I have to reach into the canister to pull out the hair that's tangled in the canister. Additionally, one has to empty it multiple times during one use. I hate this vacuum.

I love our new vacuum. We have had several vacuums throughout life, but have always came back to "good old Kenmore". The quality of these vacuums is like no other. Cleaning becomes easy and sometimes even fun. The suction power is great. My favorite part is the settings on the height of brushes that clean. High, medium, low or extra low. It really cleans the rugs well. This vacuum has a heap filter, which is great Ina house with allergic people. And emptying the canister is easy breezy with this bagless version of Kenmore. I strongly recommend this vacuum to everyone.

I bought this vacuum based on a leading consumer magazine rating and ordered it through sears.com. It was a gift and opened 3 days after the 30 day return period. To my dismay, the beater bar power head was broken and sears.com would not exchange it. Because this product came out of the box broken and Sear's unsympathetic customer service,, I cannot recommend their vacumm. '

Only used the new bagless canister vacuum once, but it performed very well once I got the hang of it. Initially, it kept turning off when I would start vacuuming on carpet, but after adjusting the connections a few times, the problem seemed to go away and I was able to vacuum the entire upstairs and downstairs with no problem. It isn't very loud, and it picked up far more dirt than either of my old vacuums. So far, as long as it doesn't start turning off again, it will be a vast improvement over my old vacuums.

Food Confusion
Alright, here is a question for all of you "food experts" out there.
I have noticed lately that Luba has been singing the praises for mashed potatoes for upset stomaches (and given her experience with rescue animals and her most recent experience with Sadie, I have to believe that it works) and I have also noticed that some foods are specifically formulated using potatoes. My confusion comes in since Oliver's breeder - who had me put him on raw with a little bit of kibble from day one - told me I could feed him any vegetables with the obvious exceptions (grapes, onions, etc.) and that I should not feed him potatoes. Not having any experience with raw diet before Oliver I accepted this advice at face value and without question - after all, she is the professional breeder who has been feeding this diet for years. Now, I am not asking this question for any other reason than to inquire if anyone out there knows why some breeders do not recommend potatoe? I don't think it is a carbs issue since she recommended rice on occasion. Is it a specific breed thing (Oliver is a Shiba) or is there some other reason? No emergency here, just curious Michelle and Oliver (who might one day get a potatoe!) |
Good question
Well some of the nightshade family including taters can give some dogs gas, but it's rare. I haven't heard nor had the displeasure of smelling any of that from any dog I've fed it to. Some dogs may just have allergies to night shade families and get sores around their mouth or itch but again, I've never seen it. These things I believe are rare. I heard a vet once say he thought that it caused dogs arthritis to become inflamed when feeding them night shade veggies but again, I've not seen any proof of that. HOWEVER if you are afraid of using potatoes introduce them slowly and see how your dog reacts. Here is a list of some other wonderful things you can feed your dog: beets broccoli carrots zucchini cauliflower celery Brussels sprouts cabbage sprouts squash sweet potatoes Swiss chard turnips parsley parsnips peas (& pods) pumpkin As for the breeder issue, I have no clue. Maybe your breeder had some bad experience with a dog and taters but I think it would be safe to say the situation is rare. Sadie has been getting potatoe for a couple of weeks now, with a diet of chicken, turkey and chicken livers, heart. I feed her red, green pepper with carrots, celery and she has had tomatoe as well (all organic veggies she shares mine with me) She's been healthy and gained a great deal of weight she lost when ill. She's growing like a weed and seems to completely enjoy her meals. This week I'm going to introduce egg to her diet.
Cats only have nine lives because they stole them from dogs!Teehee |
I have no clue except what Luba says about nightshade vegetables possibly aggravating arthritis - and I really don't know is this is scientifically founded or just one of those things that gets spread around the intenet until people assume it's true...
What does you breeder say? Most people who are pretty rigid about raw feeding (I'm not one of them!) feel any grains are akin to poison, so I'm curious as to why she thinks rice is fine but not taters. For the record; I don't really feed any grains or potatoes to my dogs, for no other reason than I can't be bothered with the cooking and they appear to be doing quite well without them. PS Luba - ya giving your little cutie patootie any calcium in her diet? She needs that.
Carina Cooper The WonderDog Daphne The Destructo-Rott |
Luba and Carina, thanks for the responses. I think I will end up emailing my breeder to find out why to try to end this "confusion" Really it was only a question of curiosity since Oliver is 110% happy and healthy!
By the way Carina, Oliver only gets rice if I cook it for myself since I am also too lazy to do it for him - but grind up his little packets of raw with fruit and veggies with my meat grinder, that I do - and for the record, I'm a vegetarian so it makes it really fun!! Sometimes there really is no rational explanation for our behaviour is there Michelle |
I'm not a vegetarian (oddly enough many people who feed raw are) but I eat little meat & try to buy organically raised when I do. Meanwhile there's a freezer full of dead animal parts in the garage for the dogs, while I have black bean burgers for dinner....
Carina Cooper The WonderDog Daphne The Destructo-Rott |
Okay, such embarassment! I just realised that I spelt "potato" with an "e"...... I guess Dan Quayle and I can both be out-spelled by an eight year old Really, I am edumacated.....
HI Carina sweetie
Yes she is getting her daily dose of calcium via the supplementation of her dry dog food and most and more importantly with her yogurt that I give her daily and she gets weekly beef bones to give a chew on that she loves. Can you suggest anything else that I may be missing out on. I also give her cod liver oil and weekly she gets some sardines which I think are really high in calcium from what I know.
Cats only have nine lives because they stole them from dogs!Teehee |
Sounds good.
Fish oil is better; cod liver oil is high in A & D which can actually be harmful in the long term. Vit E helps with absorption of fish oil/omega 3. I also give my dogs canned fish - sardines, mackerel or salmon - 2-3 times a week. I squeeze a vit E cap over it. In fact that's what they had for breakfast this morning.
Carina Cooper The WonderDog Daphne The Destructo-Rott |
That sounds just yummie Carina
I am trying to add things slowly into her diet because she's so young and had such horrible intestinal infection. Glad to know I'm doin okay with the sardines. Fish oil I can get.... I was also going to do some research on the benefits of flax seed oil for dogs. I know for me, and I use it often. Have you heard of this being used for dogs?

Are you sure it's 81.5 N on the surface of the moon?
#1. Anyway, what we'll do is first get the mass of the man. Note that mass is constant, and in physics, it is different from the term 'weight' (though in other cases, they are interchangeable, like in chemistry).
W = mg
W = weight (in Newton)
m = mass (in kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/s^2
On Earth,
41 = m * 9.8
m = 4.18 kg
On Moon, we'll solve for acceleration due to gravity of moon:
81.5 = 4.18 * g,moon
g,moon = 19.5 m/s^2
How much lighter is he on the moon? If it means the mass, then his mass is constant and he is neither heavier nor lighter on the moon.
#2. Given his weight on the moon, solve for the mass using the g,moon.
90 = m * 19.5
m = 4.62 kg
Thus, his weight on the earth is
Hope this helps :3

Description The present invention relates to providing a pricing for a plurality of products. In businesses, prices of various products must be set. Such prices may be set with the goal of maximizing profit or demand or for a variety of other objectives. It is desirable to provide computer generated pricing to help optimize profit or demand. During a price optimization, the prices of hundreds of items may be set for hundreds of stores. Such optimizations require large amounts of data to be provided. Sometimes such data has errors. In addition, sometimes data is missing. It is desirable to be able to automatically have data errors corrected and have missing data provided or estimated. To achieve the foregoing and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, a method for updating a master product attribute catalog database for consumer response modeling is provided. Data is received from at least one source of product data. A data integrity check is preformed on the received data. A reconciliation is performed between the received data and the master product attribute catalog. The reconciled received data is placed in a master product attribute catalog. These and other features of the present invention will be described in more detail below in the detailed description of the invention and in conjunction with the following figures. The present invention is illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings and in which like reference numerals refer to similar elements and in which: The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to a few preferred embodiments thereof as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the present invention may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well known process steps and/or structures have not been described in detail in order to not unnecessarily obscure the present invention. To facilitate discussion, Customer specific data maps 112 may be used to map data from each store into a staging database 116. The data maps 112 allow a customer to submit data in the customers own format and yet provide data in database that is in the same format as other data from other customers. A data integrity check is then performed on the received data (step 208) by the data validation application 120. The data integrity check may perform a plurality of data specific data validation tests, which are data type specific. Such tests may check for missing data, data that is outside of an expected value range, and other data errors, which may be easily checked and possibly be corrected. In addition, during this step, a check is may be made of whether any of the products is a new product that has not yet been entered into the master catalog. The detection of a new product may be done by comparing the UPC of each product with UPCs in the master catalog. If a matching UPC is not found in the master catalog, the product may be designated as a new product. The staging data maintenance application 124 provides a user interface to allow a user to provide data maintenance on the received data (step 212). For example, the data validation application 120 may determine that a brand name is not specified for a product. The staging data maintenance 124 application would provide an interface to the user to indicate that a brand name is missing. The user would use the user interface of the staging data maintenance 124 application to provide a brand name. The staging editor may have an exception summary module, an exception detail module, and a data editor. The exception summary module lists all of the tests for a specific data type and the resulting number of records in violation. The exception detail module provides details of why a specific record failed a validation test. The data editor module allows the viewing of staging table records in context. In the preferred embodiment the staging editor would be able to sort data records, filter data records, page data results, update data records, discard updates, and save updates. A check is made of whether a product is a new product, (i.e. if the product UPC is not in the master catalog) (step 214) by the data approval and automated resolution application 128. If the product is not new then the product attributes in the received data are reconciled with the data in the master catalog 140 (step 216). For received data for a product that is not a new product, but instead already exists in the master catalog, the product attributing application reconciles the received data with data in the master catalog 140. This may be done by first determining if there is a data conflict between the received data and the master catalog 140. For example, if UPC 123 exists with a brand value of �Tide� in the master catalog, but the received data lists the UPC 123 brand value as �Cheer� a validation error is created. The received data for UPC 123 may be changed so that the brand value is changed to �Tide�. The updated data may be used to update the master catalog 140 and the modeling database 144. The original received data may also be stored to enable a voting process. During reconciliation or on a periodic basis, the data in the master catalog is used to provide a voting type of process. For example, since the received data described above had a brand value of �Cheer� and the master catalog 140 had a brand value of �Tide� for UPC 123, a �no� vote is registered. The application may change or reevaluate the brand value of UPC 123 for the master catalog 140, if enough �no� votes are recorded. In one embodiment, if more �Cheer� brand values are recorded than �Tide� brand values for UPC 123, then the brand value in the master catalog 140 for UPC 123 is changed from �Tide� to �Cheer�. Other types of voting using other thresholds may be used. In this embodiment the data approval and automated resolution application also places the reconciled received data into the optimization database 136 and the modeling database 144 (step 220). The automated resolution part may also prevent duplicate records and provide for the aggregation of multiple records. If a new product was detected by the data validation application 120, a product attributing process is performed by the product attributing application 132 (step 218.). The product attributing application 132 allows the assigning of attributes such as a demand group, designation, brand, form, and size, flavor, . . . may be assigned to a product that is newly entered into the master catalog. Such attributes may be model specific attributes or more general attributes. The new product and attributes are added to the master catalog 140 by the attributing application 132 (step 220). A new record may be created for the new product. The master catalog 140 is a product attribute database for all products stored by a product attribute such as a universal product code (UPC). It is desirable that the master catalog 140 is retailer independent. Therefore a universal attribute that is retailer independent, such as the UPC, is desirable for classification in the master catalog 140. The master catalog 140 may contain other product attributes such as description, line, and brand, demand group classification, size group, and other attributes related to how a consumer purchases a product such as flavor or related to costs of the product such as case size. To provide retailer independence, it is also desirable that some of the data on products in the master catalog 140 are provided by more than one retailer. By allowing the master catalog to be retailer, independent data cleansing and attributing is leveraged across customers, which ensures that a product is treated consistently irrespective of the customer through the modeling and optimization process. The modeling database 144 is a customer specific database of customer specific data, such as point of sale information, store attributes, and products for each customer. The point of sale information may include volume for each product at each store during each time period for a particular customer. In a preferred embodiment the primary inputs to the modeling database are product, location, and point of sale data. The optimization database 136 may also be a customer specific database, which may include customer specific Activity Based Cost (ABC) data, product data, store location information, competitive price information, and results of a modeling process. Once all of the data required for modeling is provided to the modeling database 144, the consumer response modeling process application 820 may process the data to provide demand model. In this embodiment a modeling program by SAS, which is produced by SAS Institute of Cary, N.C. may be used to provide the demand model. The primary inputs are product, location, and point of sale data. The product attributes are also used in the model. Modeling is carried out on a per category basis for each customer (it estimates econometric coefficients corresponding to different marketing levers such as price, promotion, . . . , and environmental variables such as seasonality. The model may be refreshed every 3 to 12 months or continuously whenever new point of sale data becomes available. Other modeling programs may be used. Model coefficients may be provided to the optimization database 136 by the modeling process application 820. In the preferred embodiment, Bayesian statistics is used to estimate the model coefficients. The parameters generated by the modeling process 820 are provided to the optimization database 136. In the preferred embodiment, some of the model specific attributes such as demand group may be used in the model to predict demand given price combinations and other variables. The price and ABC application 808 may use the modeling parameters in the optimization database 136 provided by the modeling process application 820 to provide an optimization according to a client's input. The price and promotion optimization processing 808 may use the modeling parameters in the optimizing database to provide optimized price and promotion decisions, which may maximize profit or sales or some other goal. GAMS �General Algebraic Modeling System� is a commercial software for math programming by GAMS Development Corporation of Washington D.C., which may be used to provide such an optimization. The price delivery application 804 may be used to deliver the optimized pricing to the stores 104, 105, 106. The benefits reporting application 816 determines and reports to the clients the benefits derived from the optimized prices. The compliance and variance reporting 824 may be used to identify how compliant the stores are to the optimized pricing and promotion recommendations and how close the model fits to the actual store's sales. In other embodiments of the invention, other application combinations may be provided that use the data in the databases, such as assortment applications, placement applications, and markdown pricing applications. An assortment application may be used to determine what assortment of products should be carried. In addition, the invention may not have all of the applications described above in the preferred embodiment. Although the preferred embodiment links products according to demand groups other methods of linking products for a linked product attribute may be used in other embodiments of the invention. CPU 922 is also coupled to a variety of input/output devices, such as display 904, keyboard 910, mouse 912, and speakers 930. In general, an input/output device may be any of: video displays, track balls, mice, keyboards, microphones, touch-sensitive displays, transducer card readers, magnetic or paper tape readers, tablets, styluses, voice or handwriting recognizers, biometrics readers, or other computers. CPU 922 optionally may be coupled to another computer or telecommunications network using network interface 940. With such a network interface, it is contemplated that the CPU might receive information from the network, or might output information to the network in the course of performing the above-described method steps. Furthermore, method embodiments of the present invention may execute solely upon CPU 922 or may execute over a network such as the Internet in conjunction with a remote CPU that shares a portion of the processing. In addition, embodiments of the present invention further relate to computer storage products with a computer-readable medium that have computer code thereon for performing various computer-implemented operations. The media and computer code may be those specially designed and constructed for the purposes of the present invention, or they may be of the kind well known and available to those having skill in the computer software arts. Examples of computer-readable media include, but are not limited to: magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks, and magnetic tape; optical media such as CD-ROMs and holographic devices; magneto-optical media such as floptical disks; and hardware devices that are specially configured to store and execute program code, such as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), programmable logic devices (PLDs) and ROM and RAM devices. Examples of computer code include machine code, such as produced by a compiler, and files containing higher level code that are executed by a computer using an interpreter. Computer readable media may also be computer code transmitted by a computer data signal embodied in a carrier wave and representing a sequence of instructions that are executable by a processor. Computer readable media may be used by the computer system 900 to communicate over the network 800 to collect store specific information to generate a consumer response model, and to receive feedback to an indicator or to obtain constraints. Computer readable media may be used by the computer system 900 to perform an optimization. The master catalog with data for products, where at least one product has data from a plurality of sources of product data, provides the benefit of being able to allow the correction of inaccurate data from a source of product data. As a result, it has been found that the data quality in the resulting master catalog is improved over other data sources. In addition, a modeling process may require product attributes specific to the modeling process. If a new source of product data, such as a new store chain is added, existing data in the master catalog may be used to provide product attributes for products sold by the new source for product data. Product data from the new source for product data may be added to the master catalog, using the voting to correct any errors in the product data from the new source for product data or any errors in the master catalog data. While this invention has been described in terms of several preferred embodiments, there are alterations, modifications, permutations, and substitute equivalents, which fall within the scope of this invention. It should also be noted that there are many alternative ways of implementing the methods and apparatuses of the present invention. It is therefore intended that the following appended claims be interpreted as including all such alterations, modifications, permutations, and substitute equivalents as fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention.

9 Things That Need To Happen To Make The Justice League Movie Work12
It has been in the news for a while now that Warner Bros is desperate to capitalise on their rights to the DC catalogue. And following on the $1.5bn box office of Marvel's The Avengers I don't blame them. So when will this be happening? The studio has been bold enough to declare that the film will be ready for our eyes, ears and wallets by 2015, and while it may seem like a long way away there is a long list of things that need to be sorted before a film this big could be given the attention and care it deserves. So while a Justice League film is great news for everybody everywhere the seems to be a real lack of urgency and the project appears to be struggling to get itself out of first gear.
It is almost hard to fathom how DC/WB could have the two biggest comic book characters ever to headline this project and yet they are still lagging. Meanwhile Marvel took 2012 by storm, producing a brilliant movie with its own stable of stars and did it without their own poster boy Spiderman. So if WB really is serious about The Justice League then let's take a look at some of the big moves and important calls that need to be made to really get this right.
1. Confirm Joseph Gordon-Levitt Is Going To Play Batman
This appears to be happening if you buy the latest gust of hot air from the rumour mill. Some spoilers of Dark Knight Rises here: JGL plays Officer Robin John Blake in the final chapter of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy – yes, Robin as in Batman & Robin. The film closes out Bruce Wayne's stint as the coolest character ever imagined and leads us to believe that Blake has been given keys to the Batcave. Many of us debated whether this meant he would be the next Bat and even whether director Christopher Nolan would be back to deliver it. I personally saw it as a fitting way to suggest the legacy continues without actually having to tell anymore of the story.
But now that I have flirted with the idea of JGL's Batman continuing into the Justice League Movie I can't get it out of my head. It would have been hard (and kind of stupid) to introduce a new Batman in the compilation film and do…well, justice to his story. But Blake's story has been told. The sub plot to TDKR is essentially an origins story itself. This Batman would carry on the legacy that Nolan's generation have adored but will still offer a fresh slate for the film to work with.
2. Make Sure Man Of Steel Kicks *ss
This is easier said than done, but it is imperative to the survival of mankind. Superman on film has been a mess for years now. The original superhero, this guy is almost as anonymous as the Martian Manhunter at the moment. But that is all set to change with the upcoming film from Zack Snyder, Man of Steel. There have been hints this film will lead into The Justice League and it truly needs to be the turning point for The League the same way Iron Man paved the way for The Avengers in 2008.
And when comparing Tony Stark to Clark Kent you would think that Marvel had the harder job to pull off. But having said that Stark is a character by the true definition of the word and fans want characters. Superman's problem will be making sure the perfect alien has some character, some sort of conflict and flaw (while still being perfect). So let's see how Snyder approaches it. Fingers crossed.
3. Enlist The Consulting Services Of Nolan & Nolan
Christopher Nolan has become a franchise in himself this last decade. His name gives instant credit to any production and he is yet to falter. He is a master storyteller with attention to detail from the script through to filming and post production. The work he and his brother Jonathan did storywise on Dark Knight is really something special. They captured Batman, his villains and Gotham itself with such accuracy and modernised the whole story effortlessly for the new generation. The level of control and creative input that Joss Whedon brought to the Avengers project shows that the expansive mind of someone like Nolan overseeing The Justice League would be immensely beneficial.
So Nolan is already busy in a producer role for Zack Snyder on the set of Man of Steel and that bodes well with the rumours of setting up a foundation for The Justice League Adding to that the rumours around JGL may also suggest that Nolan is already involved in the project – but that would just be me speculating gratuitously.
4. The Dark Realistic Feel?
Speaking of Nolan, if his involvement is to be believed then are we to expect a Justice League film that is searching for that extra layer of realism that is ever-present in DK and most likely the upcoming Man of Steel? This one I'm not confident in stating as a necessity but it is definitely an option for the project to consider. The benefit is that it adds depth to the characters and allows 2 hr+ productions to be absorbing from first shot to last. The grittiness on offer would be a clear and defining factor that the film, and DC as a universe, could own.
The down side is that to create a threat grand enough to call for a Justice League level of protection there would need to be some out there sh*t going down. Aliens and superpowers and other things that simply won't blend into the "realism" angle. This is a tough one and I'm still not sold.
5. Get The Story Right
One of my major concerns upon hearing about The Justice League was that it may be an easy sell on paper but that doesn't mean converting that paper to film will work. I remember watching the cartoons as a kid and just seeing Batman looking like a bit of a chump and I didn't like it. I remember just thinking "Guys take a break, Superman is here, he can handle it." There are so many elements to balance in this script that and the biggest risk is damaging the goldmine that is the Batman franchise.
Perhaps using the aforementioned realism angle would help integrate Bats into the picture. More realistic invasion would bring more convincing timeshare among the heroes. But beyond that I think the script should borrow a little from the Avengers film and play to the egos of the characters. There have been some classic comics that have pitted Batman and Superman against each other in a similar fashion to how Iron Man and Captain America clashed. The differences between Superman and Batman philosophy is a natural sub plot:
Batman may never kill, but he will torture, he will intrude, he will abuse and he will commit any act necessary to reach a greater good. Superman however is at odds as to whether he should even be involved at all. He is not from this planet and his super powers are too grand for many to even fathom. I think there is a strong case to pit these two first against each other and have them reunite – just don't kill of Agent Coulson to make them reconcile.
6. The Other Guys
Enough about Batman and Superman. What about Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Green Arrow and the Martian guy? This is a big roll call for a collection of heroes who have no film experience of late except for that dreadful mess from Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern. Will there be films in between? Will Green Lantern be rebooted? Will we get any cameos in Man of Steel? How many of them will simply be introduced in The Justice League? While the individual films from Thor and Captain America fall short of captivating stand alone projects they did offer a strong sense of familiarity to The Avengers. They also have much more enticing sequels in the making.
If we are going to get one establishing film then I would hope for Wonder Woman out of a simple curiosity as to how a female superhero would be approached. Don't get me wrong, I'm as misogynistic as the next fanboy, but I am really keen to see a strong female lead. If not then maybe we can get Vince Chase to play Aquaman!
7. The Villain
So who will be the one villain willing and able enough to demand the attention of the Justice League? There are plenty to choose from but which one will fit the bill? We need a film that is real and gritty, full of undeveloped superheroes and needs room for sub-plots around the philosophy of heroics…Hmmm…
Will it be a band of supervillains that team up to counter the united power of good? Will it be some shapeshifting White Martians? Gorilla Grodd with an ape army or Ultra Humanite with a Clone army? Will it be a universe-destroying Anti-Monitor or the alien God Darkseid? Or will we see the terrifying mind-controlling alien starfish Starro?!?!?!
OK I'll admit I just typed "top ten Justice League villains" on Google but what is most important is that the villain allows the JL to invoke Equal Opportunity amongst the members so they all get a shot. We want to see them all put to good use and the ending needs to be epic!
8. Get The Director Right
This is an obvious one but who will direct The Justice League? Seeing the influx of directors put their hand up to opt out of Star Wars duties you would imagine there are plenty with enough free time on their hands. I think it has been proven that comic book movies are working better with character driven directors who recognise the need for good drama and emotion to fill out the lengthy productions. Darren Aronofsky has never had a crack at action but he has that Midas touch aura about him. I'm not going to get into a messy director speculation here but feel free to go wild in the comments.
9. Push It Back To 2016
And finally if we really want all this to happen then I'm sorry but 2015 is too soon. New movies, new characters, revised scripts, Nolan-esque attention to detail all in three years? I don't know if it can happen. It's not like I don't want this ASAP but Warner has to get it right. And I'm willing to wait another year if that means I get all of the above.
So what are your thoughts? Agree? Disagree? Or maybe you have some other big factors that should be considered. Let us know!

you asked if a reader agree or disagree. Well, i totally agree
Levitt already played robin, so why cast him as batman? and robin could never be batman. that is why robin became nightwing.
Well, I totally agree with you on pushing it to 2016. That would give us a year more for character development.
Regarding Reynolds as Green Lantern, A BIG NO!
Though he is a good actor, I just can't imagine him in a costume, a suit just suits him. Also the storyline of Green Lantern was terrible.
We need someone else as a GL. -
I disagree with Robin Blake being Batman. Batman is and will always be BRUCE WAYNE. If it means Batman being rebooted, then so be it, but Bruce Wayne Batman (with or without Bale) is imperative.
If we so desperately want Nolan's Batman in the JLA, why not introduce him as an older character??
All the other points, I do agree with them!!!
Agreed!!! Finally, someone with reason. Bruce Wayne IS the Batman.
dc should just follow marvel method. all the seperate superheroes movies that all tie in together and then the jla movie.
WB has always KILLED their superheros! I doubt they can/will do it RIGHT! I DI HOPE SO, as a kid superman, batman, WW, and the HULK were my heros! 3DC to 1 marvel! I was not a comicbook reader, but MARVEL is now where its atand will probably stay! ALSO BRUCE WAYNE is BATMAN!!!! the only thing I did not like about Nolans BM is he was not the Detective that BM I remember is! I have not seen THKR so IDK but maybe GJL can pull it off! he is the Det. and has been given the keys (and possibly) the resources that Nolans BM had! EVERYTHING ELSE I AGREE WITH COMPLETELY.. JUST please do it right NO MORE STUPID KIDDIE SUPERHEROS WB/DC PLEASE!!!!!
how about a "new 52″ version of the JL?? Superman in thights is getting really ridiculous in 2013. same with the clasic suit of Wonder Woman.the idea of a worldwide attack on each corner of the earth and each heroes attacking each others BEFORE joining up seem's the BEST option for this.
guyz leavein d original adds spice to the movie like iron man aka "tin man" still remains dsame however som of the super heroes hav changed characters spiderman n hulk we hav like 3 hulks goash! leave the super heroes the way dey are

She recognized me after the match (we met in a challenger in Pune in 2011) and high-fived which was pretty cool. Today she wasted a big chance as Min doesn't seem to be a GOAT by any means. She was very slow today and made tons of errors. When she upped her game at the end of the 2nd set, she reeled off 3 straight games in a row with some powerful play. Min took a looooooooong comfort break and it must've upset Tadeja as she lost the set in around 15 minutes. I'd say 80% of points lost were her errors. She simply didn't believe it was her day and at 05 down she was talking herself out of it... laughing 'I'm gonna lost 6-0 how pathetic is that, I played nothing today'. Shame.
Were you the guy in the blue t-shirt sat by the baseline between 3 and 4?
