The "Justice League " teams DC Entertainment's most famous heroes (Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, among others)--with the script by "The Gangster Squad" writer Will Beall already being worked on. Getting a director and then a cast is the next order of business.
The arc sees Darkseid, the oppressive god ruler of the war planet Apokolips, planning the destruction of Earth by blasting it with a weapon that moves Apokolips into Earth’s place.
The storyline has the Justice League teaming up with the Justice Society of America--Does this mean we will we see two teams in one movie? That could be great but is it too ambitious?
The studio is taking the opposite approach to that of DC's main rival Marvel. While Marvel slowly built each hero's backstory in separate film series before getting "The Avengers" on screen, Warners and DC will have their superheroes go into their own movies following their introduction in "Justice League."
It's assumed that Henry Cavill's Superman in Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" will likely be a part of a JL film, but there is no official word that's a sure thing...Would the Ryan Reynolds version of "Green Lantern" be part of the film...? The rumored Armie Hammer for Bats since Warners is planning to keep the Christopher Nolan's Bat-verse separate and apart from its plans for DC Comic films moving forward?.. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was fancied to be appearing in the upcoming movie as the new Batman....but that was quickly nixed by JGL's peeps.
Production on the project is hoped to get underway next year for a Summer 2015 release. The date puts the film in direct competition with "The Avengers 2" which is slated for May 1st 2015.
