Justice League Movie in Full-Throttle!

Richard Deschamps here with another fascinating insider report from the wonderful world of Comic Book Movies! Rumor has it that Warner Bros. has recently commissioned director Frank Miller, who brought us the hilariously wild Surf's Up (2007) last summer, to helm the long-awaited sequel to Superman Begins (2005), aptly titled "Justice League of America." The very thought of Superman and Batman together on the big screen makes me want to skip around the block a few times in my Clark Kent pajamas. I'm sure many of my fans out there will agree that this is the greatest comic book movie news since the unexpected curveball announcement of Spider-Man 2!!!


However, a reliable source of mine confirms that casting has been a bit tricky. How exactly can you cast Superman and Batman, while both co-exist in their own respective franchises? I bet Tim Burton is just a tad concerned this might interfere with his reimagination of the Batman series. Afterall, Burton's Batman Returns (2004) breathed new life into the character, a decade after Jerry Schumacher nearly killed the series altogether! Trust me Warner Bros., lay off Batman in Justice League of Americas. You don't want another Batman & Robin (1996) on your hands. Especially since someone like Chris O'Donnell donned the iconic cape and cowl!


In addition to casting troubles, are we really ready for another superhero catastrophe? (X-Men 3: The Best Stand...I'm looking in your direction!) This is another problem the project faces. There's just too many classic superheros involved with this movie! Besides Superman and Batman, the team also includes Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Aquaman, Captain America and, wait for it...Martian Manhunter. I mean, they'd have to give each character at least a half hour to explain how each came to be. What does this translate into? SNOOZE-FEST!

Deschamps, out!!!
