Wow, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and the others got screwed out of their own movie franchises.
And, apparently, neither Christian Bale or that guy who played Superman (never can remember his name...) are going to be in it, which leaves us fans starving for some continuity.
According to Justiceleaguemovie.net, the movie is going to be a direct comptetitor against the May 4, 2012 Marvel flick, The Avengers, which should involve Robert Downey, Jr. aka Iron Man.
The JLA movie is going to be directed by George Miller (Happy Feet, Lorenzo's Oil, Twilight Zone: The Movie) while the Avengers movie will (possibly) be directed by Iron Man pro Jon Favereau.
From RopeofSilicon.com:
In talking with several online writers during Comic Con, Marvel executive Kevin Feige discussed the process of bringing the Marvel universe together in feature films with The Avengers, and how they plan on doing it on a grand scale. "I get to cheat because it's been done before in comics. It's not how the dots connect — we might be changing them a little bit — but it's that experience of reading comics we're trying to bring to movies, to people who've never opened a comic book before."On the other side, the Justice League movie will involve Aquaman.
The supposed "Batman" for the movie is actor Armie Hammer (what a name!), who could tell a little about the movie before it was halted due to the writer's strike.
"I would spend hours training with actual guns to prepare me for this stuff," Hammer said. "It was very intense. Our workout regimens were so rigorous that most of us would vomit."
He added, "We weren't trying to get ourselves aesthetically good looking. We were trying to get ready for the demands of shooting."
He's already been fitted for the superhero costume, which he says features functioning equipment, including trademark Batman weapons like spring-loaded titanium Bat-erangs. "I was looking down, and I was thinking, This is the best," Hammer said off the first time he put on the entire ensemble. "Then I stood up, and they turned me around, and I faced a mirror—there was Batman. But then it hit me like a ton of bricks—it's not just Batman, it's me!"On the subject of the Avengers film, though, the Marvel executive stated that they were attempting to weave many characters into the story. He also said (from Ropeofsilicon.com):
"My only concern is that whichever character's franchise we're launching that it stands on its own two feet. With Iron Man being the first one out of the gate, thank goodness that's what happened. Now everybody loves Iron Man [and] it's our job to do the same thing with Thor and the same thing with Captain America two years from now so by the time The Avengers comes in 2012 it's not just a team superhero movie with just a bunch of characters with powers, it's these three people — four including the Hulk — five including Nick Fury, that you've seen in other movies before now coming together for the very first time."Read this if you want more information on the upcoming Avengers movie: http://io9.com/5322974/marvel-announces-the-avengers-line+up-plus-thor-and-captain-america-news
