Truth about JLA? | Movie News
We realize rumors about the casting of the major superhero roles in Warner Bros.' big budget George Miller directed JUSTICE LEAGUE adaptation have been off da hizzle in the last few weeks but recently one particular set of rumors have come to the forefront that have been corroborated by multiple sites so either the internets is collectively agreeing to band together to promote one specific set of lies or there's some actual truth to them.
Courtesy of the good folks at Cinema Blend, the big news is that resident "Friday Night Lights" paraplegic former high school QB king Scott Porter will be donning the red and blue spandex to play the Man of Steel himself, Superman. Further, tattooed rapper Common is set to play John Stewart aka Green Lantern, fast talking pretty boy Adam Brody is set to play The Flash, Teresa Palmer is cast but not as Wonder Woman but rather as Talia Ghul, daughter of Batman nemesis Ra's Al Ghul (wait, Ghul as a villain again? What da dilly yo?) and finally, Michael Gough may be appearing as Bruce Wayne butler extraordinaire Alfred.
Presumably, an official casting announcement is imminent so we'll soon see to what degree all this turns out to be true.

Actually, scratch that. A _quality_ JLA movie is never going to happen... I mean if Hollywood will shit out a sequel to Cheaper by the Dozen, then anything's possible right?

This is fixing to be the "Heaven's Gate" and "Waterworld" of the comics films.
But if they're so hellbent on making JLA, I wanna see a live-action Zatanna for once, played by Gretchen Mol....

It's almost hard to believe that the WB's suits are stupid enough to deliberately derail ANOTHER wildly successful Batman franchise, not to mention a moderately successful Superman franchise as well as a potentially successful Wonder Woman franchise...all in favour of an obvious train-wreck that even an overwhelming majority of fanboys (its target audience!) don't want to see.

Superman III. Superman IV. Batman Forever. Batman & Robin. Catwoman. Constantine.
SIGH.
How's that definition of insanity go again...?
