Justice League Script Done – But Will It Get Made?
Jun 14, 2007 by Vic Holtreman
A Justice League script has been turned in to Warner Bros. which was written by Kieran and Michele Mulroney (each of whose IMDB stats show virtually no track record as screenwriters). Supposedly the script is so good that WB is shopping around for a director.
Is a Justice League movie going to make it to theaters before your 5 year old graduates college? I wouldn’t be on it.
The budget would be monstrous, it would need quite a large ensemble cast where most of the characters would no doubt be marginalized due to the limits of the length of the movie, plus could you get Christian Bale and Brandon Routh available at the same time and willing to put on their respective costumes for this type of movie?
It may happen eventually, but the odds are stacked against it in my opinion. That’s not to say that I wouldn’t want to see it, of course. Actually over at Cinematical a suggestion was made that they should dump the live-action idea and instead make a big-screen animated CGI version. Now THAT would be cool and a lot more likely to be made sooner, if at all.

Yeah,I would love to see this movie but I think I might be dead by the time it gets made. Also I think this movie will only work if the League members are as follows:Superman,Batman,Wonder Woman,the Flash (Barry Allen),Green Lantern (Hal Jordan),and Martian Manhunter. The script would have to be dynamite and they need someone other than Bryan Singer or Christopher Nolan to helm this one. Also,it will be no good unless they keep the costumes and characters as close to the books as possible. I’m sick of seeing comic book movies where the costumes are all screwed up. I don’t want them to look like shabby spandex halloween costumes though. I want something similiar to the Spider-Man costume and Fantastic Four costumes from the movies to be done to the JLA here. I really don’t want to see another black plastic muscle suit on Batman here.
I hope it goes into production before 2010 after the screening of the new Batman and Superman movies.Also for the roles of Superman,Batman,Wonderwoman,Flash(Barry Allen),Green lantern and the Martian Manhunter.To assume the roles of this characters on big screen cinemas,I would prefer to see Brandon Routh,Christian Bale as the illustrious duo.For Wonderwoman and Flash,preferably Lucy Lawless and Adam Brody.For Greenlantern and the Martian Manhunter,most likely would be Nicholas Cage as Hal Jordan(Greenlantern) and for the Martian,I am still undecided as to who would be the most suitable person for that role.
