Remember "Justice League Mortal"?

Down in Australia to promote "The Lone Ranger," star Armie Hammer spoke with movie guy Marc Fennell in which the topic of George Miller's scrapped "Justice League Mortal" came up.


Hammer was slated to play Bruce Wayne/Batman in the buzzed about film, and even had endured some  costume tests before the project collapsed. When asked why the film fell apart, Hammer said:

"You guys had an election and changed your Prime Minister who then changed your tax rebate incentive program and then we had a writer's strike in the U.S. so we couldn't change anything in the script and everybody wanted to change things. So, it was just the perfect storm. If what we were going for had happened, it would've been the perfect combination of the realistic grittiness of The Dark Knight mixed with the amazing detail and tactile nature of the Star Trek series."

Hammer was asked if the opportunity were to come up again would he do it, He doesn't seem all that interested:

"I don't know man. That was before Marvel had crushed everything. It just doesn't seem like it will be executed as well as Marvel has done."
