It has been reported that Warner Brothers’ big screen adaptation of DC Comics’ “Justice League of America,” will be headed by George Miller. As the project is still in its initial phases, a lot of questions has yet to be answered. But even so, rumors have been milling around on who’s going to play who on the film.
Several sources close to the project said that Christian Bale, star of the revived “Batman” film franchise, and Brandon Routh, star of Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns,” would probably not appear in the movie.
Beyond the Caped Crusader and Man of Steel, “Justice League” will likely feature Wonder Woman, the Flash and Aquaman. The Green Lantern is also featured in the comic book.
Christopher Nolan, current director of the “Batman” franchise for the studio, and Bale, preferred that Warner delay “Justice League” until after he finishes “Batman” projects in development.
To work around these issues, the studio explored making “Justice League” as an animated film or with motion capture, but all indications are that the picture will be an f/x-driven live-action film.
This project could give the studio a launching pad for future Wonder Woman and the Flash pics. The studio has been developing big screen adaptations of both DC properties.
