WB Announces Justice League of America Movie
February 23, 2007
by Alex Billington
It may finally be here, the Justice League of America movie! Just today it was announced via Variety that Kiernan and Michele Mulroney have been hired to write the script. Although Warner Brothers didn't announce any other details, including just which superheroes may be included, president of production Jeff Robinov did make a statement about taking on the prolific endeavor:
"The Justice League of America has been a perennial favorite for generations of fans, and we believe their appeal to film audiences will be as strong and diverse as the characters themselves."
I'm not sure where they pull these random first-time writers, but I guess if they're confident in them maybe we'll see a good script. Especially given that the Justice League of America is one of the comic world's biggest and most well known groups of superheroes, and fans and geeks alike have been wondering when the day will come when we'll see Superman and Batman team up in live action on the big screen.
The DC Comics JLA universe consists of the likes of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter and all the rest of DC Comics' biggest names. There are a few out there who are skeptical on whether this may actually even happen, or whether this is just an early marketing gimmick to get people a bit more interested in DC and WB's latest offerings. Only time will tell, but I will tell you I'm damn excited! Just the idea of these groups coming together and what may be capable in a movie is mind-boggling. Hopefully it all comes together, hopefully!

There is no mention if this will be animated or with real actors.. Fingers crossed we'll see real actors and not some crappy cgi movie.. oh wait most of Superman Returns was cgi

Just wanted to say this should be with real actors… and fingers crossed that they allow Tom Welling to play the roll of Superman… This comment may not make a difference in the decision of what will happen with the movie but I honestly think it should be with real actors and Tom Welling would make the perfect Superman for it. Thanks.

I pray to god Tom Welling isn’t the next Superman due to the fact that he’s what dyslexia does to children when it comes to playing said role. He reminds me too much of the kid from the old show "The Wonder Years." Also, I fear for the poor actor that plays Superman due to the fact that most who have attempted or have done the role has been cursed with a bad carrier or tragic death/murder.
On a different note. I think they shouldn’t put John Stuart in as the Green Lantern. They should place the original green lantern, Hal Jordyn, in. He had better dry humor in the comics that I've read.
Also I read on a different website that someone had the opinion that Dane Cook should be the flash. I honestly could see that role working out due to Dane Cooks already crazy attitude on life.
I will also be GREATLY.. and I mean GREATLY depressed if Christian Bail doesn’t play batman since he was the only person in around 16 years that could play the role correctly. Everyone beside Keetin played batman as a happy go lucky emo boy who wanted to be a hero. When batman in himself is a VERY dark character and didn’t dawn his mask to be a hero. He dawned it out of blatant revenge for the murder that keeps being replayed in his head. Batman is as crazy and dark as they come so I hope Bail gets the part. Because I cant picture any other actor throwing bad guys off sky scrapers.

It's a little early to be thinking about sequels, but a great idea for a JLA 2 would be to take Alex Ross' "Justice" and turn it into a movie since it's set up like one anyway. Just focus on the main seven characters though.
