Feb 23 2007Justice 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.

Based on that picture, it looks like Kirstie Alley would be a good fit for Wonder Woman. Although it's kind of a stretch to say she'd be a "good fit" for anything. Zing!
And what's with the random hand at the lower right? Was Thing from the Addams Family a member of the Justice League too?

I'm sure that's gonna be a great movie. Because with Superman around, Batman is really helpful. Sure, Superman can fly, is impervious to bullets, can melt stuff with his eyes and see through walls, and has pretty much every superpower ever conceived, but Batman is rich and has a cool car.

Yeah, but what I want to know who's going to play Zan and Jayna? Wilmer Valderrama as one, maybe.

I'd pick the JLA over the Avengers any day of the week. I hope this movie pushes through.
About the mystery hand on the lower right side of the image, could it be Snapper Carr?

I'm excited to see how all this will play out. I'm a huge HUGE DC fan and I have all the characters. Especially with the CG affects that you can do these days, you can so make Green Lantern do what he needs to do and Hawkman and Wonderwoman, that would be sooooo awesome! Can't wait to see how all this develops. Hey, GI Joe is in the works. Why not these guys? It's time!!
