Justice League

September 20, 2007: Variety Reports on Justice League Movie

Variety weighs in with news on the Justice League movie, confirming many of the rumors that have already been reported...

    Warner Bros. is moving aggressively ahead with the bigscreen adaptation of DC Comics' "Justice League of America," with George Miller on board to direct.

    Project, which is the initial phases of casting, is a pre-strike priority for the studio, which needs a superhero tentpole in 2009.

    Still, making all the pieces fit has been complicated by overlapping superhero projects in the pipeline, since "Justice League" features a pantheon of superheroes, including Superman and Batman.

    Batman and Superman are active properties for the studio, though the next installment in the Superman franchise has taken a backseat to "Justice League" in part because Warners is so keen on the "Justice League" script by Kieran and Michele Mulroney.

    "Justice League" will likely feature the characters of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and Aquaman.

    "They're working very hard to get it to happen," said one party close to the project. "But there are so many characters it's complicated."

    It was for this very reason that many believed Warners would move ahead first with a follow-up to Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns." Singer, however, is busy with Tom Cruise starrer "Valkyrie."
