Justice League Movie in the Works

With the recent enormous popularity of superhero films, even when they're stupid and about a motorcycle driving skeleton, it was only a matter of time before someone embarked on the mother of all comic movies: the Justice League of America. Variety reports that Warner Bros. has commissioned Michele and Kieran Mulroney have been hired to pen the script for the potentially massive feature.

Though the JLA's lineup has continually changed over the years, it has included Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, the Atom and others. Now, the question remains as to how they'll cast such a huge film, particularly when Christian Bale and Brandon Routh are already playing the hero roles in other films. I'm guessing they'll have to scale down the star power, meaning we'll likely see the JLA with David Schwimmer as Superman and the newly laid-off cast of The OC filling out the rest.

I don't want to suggest Eddie Murphy in makeup for every role, but I'm just going to put it out there for you to think about.
