Stern Justice League Pin?

[hippochrome]

So, what do you think...will Stern do a Justice League of America pinball machine?
I believe a movie is in the works, but even without that, they made X-Men comic version why not the JLA?

Or, I wonder if they might make a Superman pin to go with the movie?

Anybody got any insider information?

I think that would be my first and only NIB purchase.

Stern added a link to this wall art/poster on their Facebook page over the long weekend...

Another superhero pin is afoot...one could guess. Yawn.

Well we have a music title now ... movie title to follow (Star Trek) so yep we are due for some kinda of comic related pin if the current rotation holds.

Stern usually post pics on their facebook page hinting at things to come like the man of steel one below

A few weeks ago they posted this and there was a ton of speculation over on pinside

I know Star Trek is next up after Metallica and they just hired John Trudeau so maybe they will have him make a Superman or Justice League pin after?

Enough with the superhero pins!

Star Trek sounds like it could be fun, but even that theme has been done to death over the years.
I guess as long as Hollywood is re-hashing everything old again, so will Stern.

fat chance on them ever stopping superhero themes...considering they are the most profitable movies made these days! Stern would stop all other themes before they ever stopped superheros.

Justice League pin will be awesome! Best theme ever!

If they managed to do a JLA game with Alex Ross artwork that could be a beautiful game. Lots to draw on with the theme, and you could make a great playing pin out of it.

Except maybe music themed pins?

They gotta almost be out of mainstream superheroes. I could see a justice league pin being made after a superman one, but there's not much after that..... Maybe a cat woman, or hawk eye, or Green lantern I just can't see that many more great comic/superhero themes to run with.

I could think of a dozen great music themed games easily, but not as many great superheroes

As long as there is a superhero movie to tie in with they're golden...and yeah, I'd say that they'd pick superhero over music pins.
Stern makes these games primarily for arcades/operators and I assume more young people will put money in a superhero pin rather than one based on a band they've never heard of.
Us pinheads will stick our quarters in any new machine, so our preference for those band machines is inconsequential.

Upcoming superhero movies:
-New Batman, New Spiderman, new Ironman, Superman, JLA, new Xmen, new GI Joe, 300 pt.2, new Robocop, Sin City 2, Thor 2, Capt. America 2, new Masters of the Universe)

Gary said they'll only ever make 3 types of games from now on.. music, movie, superhero.

I know the movies are from a handful of years back, but the Fantastic 4 theme might be pretty awesome.

4 main characters/modes, Dr. Doom, Silver Surfer...

thats quite a loaded machine if you ask me.

I heard a fantastic 4 reboot is in the works. Now that Disney owns the movie license

Its possible, and like I said, it would be VERY easy to translate to a pinball game. Just use bits of each movie, run a mode for each main character, 3 villains to choose from, Dr. Doom (obivous), Silver Surfer (sort of a villain), and Galactus (easily the final mutli-ball battle)

You can even bring in other characters, like Alicia Masters (things girlfriend) for minor modes, or special shots.


I hope Stern reads this and sends me a game for creative retruibution... lol

 

[Slam_Tilt]

Now that there is a bit of a pinball resurgence I would love to see Stern go back to non-licensed themes. I don't think they always need a licensed theme to sell machines anymore. But I doubt that would happen.

For that Alicia Masters mode, do you have to play blindfolded? But seriously, folks...

Good ideas all, yet unless we pool our money together and start making machines ourselves, we are at the mercy of Stern's "safe" themes. For the record I'm also in the "enough with the bloody superhero themes" camp.
