It seems that some nut craker posted a fake script one which begins with Hal flying. But the original is much, much cooler. It goes like this: Superman and the other heroes(Wonder Woman,Martian Manhunter,Aquaman, Green Lantern and the Flash) wearing black coloured version of their costumes attend a high profile funeral. Batman appears after all the cameras are gone. Then we skip 6 days prior to the funeral, Barry Allen is eating lunch with his wife Iris in a superhero styled restaurant. He watches Wonder Woman making a speech on tv. Meanwhile, Batman is watching Barry eat with the Brother Eye satellite. Then Alfred (yes, Alfred is in the movie) comes in and tell Bruce that he has a meeting with businessman Maxwell Lord. Batman turns off the satellite, but after he leaves it turns on again. It is activated remotely and begins to spy on John Johns. That's about it actually, I think this will be a great movie and I am going to see it when it comes out. You guys HAVE to see the script.

Wasn't he even a little unenthusiastic about a Superman/Batman film at one stage, let alone a full ensemble of lycra-covered superheros? As for JLA being an 'origin' story, I don't necessarily agree. Was it Edward Norton or Robert Downey Jr. who recently said they dislike the term 'origin story'? Whoever it was - Norton, I think - was basically saying the idea of an origin can be weaved through a plot with good storytelling, rather than always having to be this obvious step-by-step procedure. I agree completely. When we watch a court drama, we don't care about how a character bacame a lawyer. In an action, we don't care how a character became a cop. Why can't we delve into origins more creatively, through intelligent writing, rather than always wasting half a film? JLA strikes me as something where the danger bringing them all together should be the central plot... not how they met. As for the OMAC plot, I'm sure it's not going to be the same as the comics. It would be an adaptation that works as a stand-alone story. I have no problem with that. In fact, I'd quite like Wonder Woman to begin her big screen career killing a man, though I doubt that will happen. It would give her some mystery - like a certain Lost character we love despite their mistake. Oh... and with this rumour Ryan Reynolds may play The Flash, I'm hoping John Stewart will be nothing more than a 'test' for a bigger Green Lantern film. Maybe he can be the rumoured member to die... and a Hal Jordan film, set before JLA, can come later. To be honest, someone's got to be sidelined and if that were to be GL, I'd rather it be John not Hal.

What the $#@!%! It should totally be Hal!! And why rush into a story like the OMAC saga? A story like that would work better in a sequel because the movie going audience will already be familiar with the JLA characters introduced in the first film. They really need to make it an origin story and not let that take up the whole film. I'm happy to hear that it might be Barry Allen as Flash though. I really think that Warners will put out JLA instead of a Superman Returns sequel. I don't see why Christian Bale wouldn't be available for the film considering shooting is almost finished on TDK. Maybe they need him for green screen shots in Dark Knight or something. Not happy that George Miller is at the helm at all. I would like to see this movie released by 2009,but only if it's made right. Hal has to be Green Lantern! I also say ayone but John...there's only so much story to him,and he's kinda always struck me as a supporting character in the GL comix,it'd be like having Kiliwog as GL. John? What the $#@!%!

This isn't really sounding good. The whole Countdown to Infinite Crisis story idea wouldn't work too well as an initial movie. They would have to do the backstory of WHY he built Brother Eye, i.e. Identity Crisis, and for Wonder Womans killing Lord, Ted Kord dieing. Here's to Hal, or at least Kyle. Or even Guy. Anyone but John... Wow. This isn’t really sounding good. The whole Countdown to Infinite Crisis story idea wouldn’t work too well as an initial movie.

Corny, isn't it? Vic,

“OMAC” stands for “One Man Army Corp”. Corny, isn’t it?

Just seems like WB is just focused more on trying to bet Marvel out of the Supermember film at any cost. I agreed, Vic.
