Hot Pick of the Justice League

The new Justice League pic is here to excite us! Aquaman is too dressed for this!

New Justice League teaser

Warners will push a Man of Steel sequel in 2014, Justice League in 2015

The Man of Steel racked up $125 mill this weekend. It's second place to Iron Man 3, but it's still good. In fact, it's good enough to greenlight a sequel for 2014... And Justice League film as soon as 2015.

Yes, DC Comics and Warners are trying to play catch up with Marvel. I'm really excited to see how this will work.

David S. Goyer is the writer for the Justice League movie

Well, well, well... The Justice League movie is a go and David S. Goyer is the writer.

Deadline reports:

Warner Bros Pictures is fast-tracking the Superman reboot sequel with its successful twosome already in place: Zack Snyder reprising as director and David S. Goyer repeating as screenwriter. Goyer’s deal is part of a huge 3-picture deal he signed at Warner Bros for Man Of Steel, the sequel, and Justice League with Superman.

But wait, there's more! During the Man of Steel premier in NYC, Goyer had some words for the Avengers:

They’ve got a little kryptonite pellet embedded in my heart and if I say anything it will explode, but I would be a very rich man for all the times I was asked that question. It all depends on how the [Man of Steel] does. I would love to see a Justice League film, absolutely. Put the Avengers on notice.

That sounds like fighting words.

Is the Justice League Movie Doomed?

Rumors are buzzing madly about the Justice League's script. Word is, it's a hot ass mess!

Badass Digest claim they have “multiple sources” that proves that scriptwriter Will Beall's work was garbage. Also because of the failure of Gangster Squad (Will's work), WB are a little scared about this project.

And they still can't find a director for this film. So I wonder, is Justice League doomed? They can't seem to get it off the ground and no credible director or writer wants to touch it. Should WB give up or pass it to a studio that can deliver?

Who would be in the Justice League movie if it came out in the 80s?

So I'm doing it again... Casting Comic Book movies in a different decade. This post is on the Justice League.

Could you imagine the live-action Super Friends movie in decade of Schwarzenegger and Spielberg?

Well, I can and my picks for DC Comics' greatest team ever can be seen after the jump!

Variant Cover for Justice League #13

Whoop that Trick, Wonder Woman!

Justice League #13 variant cover by Alex Garner.

The Cheetah returns in the New 52

The Cheetah is one of Wonder Woman's greatest foes and so far she's been absent from the New 52 universe.

However, all of that changes as she comes back hard! DC Comics blog reports:

This fall, JUSTICE LEAGUE #13 will introduce a legendary villain to DC COMICS-THE NEW 52: The Cheetah. The first of a two-issue chapter, the story comes to you from the creative team of writer Geoff Johns and guest artist Tony S. Daniel.

"I'm thrilled and honored to again work with Geoff Johns on this JUSTICE LEAGUE arc,” Daniel told THE SOURCE. “It's going to be a lot of fun and I can't wait to work on my favorite characters. JUSTICE LEAGUE is the first book I pull because of the big stories and the great Jim Lee art inside. I'm very happy that I get a chance to focus all my energy on making my best artwork for Geoff and the fans of JUSTICE LEAGUE."

“Tony and I will be re-introducing one of DC's iconic villains - the Cheetah - and uncovering her mysterious connection to Wonder Woman and the Justice League,” added Johns. “For me, the Cheetah is up there with Black Manta, Sinestro and Captain Cold as one of the most iconic villains in the DC Universe, and she'll become a major villainous force in 2012 and beyond. The fallout from JUSTICE LEAGUE #12 starts here as we head towards next year's TRINITY WAR.”

This looks good and I hope they really beef up the Cheetah.

Look Out for a Bunch of DC Comics' Superheroes Films heading to the Screen

WB and DC Entertainment have announced their plans to release tons of DC Comics movies in the near future.

This week, the studio revealed it tapped "Gangster Squad" scribe Will Beall to revive "Justice League," which WB unplugged in 2008, and hired Michael Goldenberg (one of the many writers of "Green Lantern") to pen "Wonder Woman." 

Those projects now join in development films based on the Flash, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Lobo, the Suicide Squad and Shazam. DC and WB are also facing a decision on how to reboot Batman once "The Dark Knight Rises" completes Christopher Nolan's take on the caped crusader, featuring Christian Bale in the cowl. 

Studio is figuring out whether to bring back Ryan Reynolds as the Green Lantern in a sequel to last year's actioner or relaunch the character in a completely new way.

The funny thing is, regardless of the number of these projects, will they be successful? The keys to Marvel's success are the writers and directors.

Can WB and DC Entertainment be consistent in finding the winning combinations? That remains to be seen. So far, I'm concerned.

Justice League, Wonder Woman now have Screenwriters

Well, I knew WB was doing something. Since The Avengers has made history and kicked major movie ass this summer, WB/DC Comics are coming with their big movie news.

While Disney and Marvel were busy shooting "The Avengers" last year, Warner Brothers quietly began getting its own all-star superhero pic back on track, tapping "Gangster Squad" scribe Will Beall to write "Justice League," based on the WB-controlled stable of DC Comics superheroes.

 And, they have writers for other DC proprieties

 DC Comics is a vital component of Warner Bros.' intellectual property, as "Green Lantern" scribes Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green were tapped to write "The Flash" for director Greg Berlanti, while another "Green Lantern" scribe, Michael Goldenberg, was hired to write "Wonder Woman." Additionally, Brad Peyton is working on a new draft of "Lobo," while John Kamps and David Koepp are developing "Spy vs. Spy" as a potential directing vehicle for Ron Howard. WB also developed the "Aquaman" property several years ago.

The WW writer scares me because Green Lantern was a HAM, (Hot Ass Mess). And while these are good writers, they are not Joss. But, I guess we will see how this may turn out.

Justice League Movie back on Track! A Wonder Woman project too?

I found some interesting info about the future of DC Comics movies; mostly about JL and Wonder Woman.

Collider has the scoop from producer Dan Lin. On the Justice League:

You know, I thought that was the ultimate project. I was a fan-boy for me to work with all those characters together on a team and kind of the themes of that movie. That’s my dream. It’s on-hold right now as DC sorts out its strategy but as you’ve talked to Alan Horn and Jeff Robinov it seems like they’re building to Justice League instead of going with the team movie first and doing individual movies after that.

On Wonder Woman:

Do you think there’s ever going to be a Wonder Woman movie?
Dan Lin: Don’t know. I just asked Joel Silver that at lunch the other day.
I always ask him that, but he sort of like we’re working on it or whatever.
Dan Lin: I don’t know. Just as an outside observer I know they talk about it as a movie and also a TV show. I don’t know if they’ve figured out which way to go or is it better to put her in a team movie first and then have her come off that. Truth is, I don’t know.

At least it's still talked about, right?  Oh well, we will see how they will match up with Marvel.

Is WB Executive Jeff Robinov planning a Justice League movie?

In LA Times, Jeff Robinov talks about his job, but he also spills the tea on the future of DC Comics in films.

His most immediate hurdle is filling the void that will be left this summer when the multibillion-dollar "Harry Potter" series shepherded by Horn ends. Robinov is betting on DC Comics characters to take center stage starting in June with the $200-million-plus production "Green Lantern."

He's then aiming to release new "Batman" and "Superman" films in 2012 and "Justice League," a teaming of DC's top heroes, in 2013.

Many agree that Robinov's greatest strength is his willingness to take creative risks on ambitious movies — a rarity in a business that increasingly plays it safe. "I think what defines Warner Bros. is the filmmaker choices on our event movies," he said.

A JL movie? What would that look like? And who would put it together, hopefully not Zack Snyder.

Okay, Enough of these Superheroes Adult Movies!!!

Somebody please stop this! Now there is a Justice League porno called, Justice League: A Hardcore Parody

Bleeding Cool got these pics from the set

Porn sux!!

Rumor Alert 2: Miller's Safe with JL

Well, so much for wishful thinking. Dark Horizons has reported that George Miller is not leaving the Justice League project.

A representative from Kennedy Miller Mitchell has categorically denied Monday's scoop that Dr. George Miller is off the 'Justice League' project. They have confirmed that Miler did not appear on the ‘Sunrise Morning Show’ let alone discuss anything to do with "Justice League" or "Mad Max".

I need to remain optimistic, but now there are rumors that the project maybe be dead, once more.

Again, I'll keep folks y'all posted.

Rumor Alert: George Miller is OUT from the Justice League movie

The rumor on the nets is George Miller is no longer attached to Warner Bros' possible mess, Justice League movie!

Is that good news? Maybe, since he wanted these young unknowns playing our favorite DC heroes, that it would have had nothing to do with the current Superman or Batman series or actors, and because he casted some hot mess girl to play Wonder Woman (my personal reason)

But could it be that their Marvel's rival team, Avengers have a better story and actors attached? Who knows, but the original story confirming this is here. However, other sources are not co-signing on this matter.

I'll keep y'all posted.

Are They Still Trying to do This? OR This is the New Batman!

Great Hera! They are still trying to make the Justice League. And now, they are moving forward with this foolishness. Today, they have revealed their Batman...and it ain't Sexiness Christian Bale.
********************************************************
His name is Armie Hammer, an unknown actor handpicked by Mad Max and Happy Feet director George Miller to play Bruce Wayne and his Caped Crusader alter ego in the upcoming superhero-filled Justice League Mortal.

Hammer insists he has not intention of stirring up a battle of the Batmans. "That guy's got his s--t down," Hammer says of Bale.

Even so, Hammer does point out that there's at least one big difference between the two. "My codpiece is bigger," he said with a laugh the other day from Vancouver, where he's shooting the CW's The Reaper (he plays the son of the devil).

While there have been reports that the Justice League flick has been shelved because of too many setbacks (including the writers' strike), Hammer says he hopes to see it get made...

They were supposed to shoot in Australia, where Hammer and his castmates suffered through several months of physical training.

"I would spend hours training with actual guns to prepare me for this stuff," Hammer said. "It was very intense. Our workout regimens were so rigorous that most of us would vomit."

He added, "We weren't trying to get ourselves aesthetically good looking. We were trying to get ready for the demands of shooting."

Not that the 22-year-old great-grandson of oil tycoon Armand Hammer has anything to worry about in the looks department. At 6'5" with a smile and hulking body to match, he has movie star written all over him.

He's already been fitted for the superhero costume, which he says features functioning equipment, including trademark Batman weapons like spring-loaded titanium Bat-erangs. "I was looking down, and I was thinking, This is the best," Hammer said of the first time he put on the entire ensemble. "Then I stood up, and they turned me around, and I faced a mirror—there was Batman. But then it hit me like a ton of bricks—it's not just Batman, it's me!"

I thought this movie was dead, but this is proof that the madness continues. And I'm not feeling a 22 year old Batman. Batman ain't no 22 year old! Oh, the humanity, Jesus!!
