Warner Bros. is looking to release their long awaited Justice League movie during the summer of 2015. The studio just won a big legal battle over the rights for Superman, and now that it's basically over they are looking to start shooting it next year! All they need now is a director and cast to bring it to life. The screenplay was written by Will Beall, and there are no details on the story, but it will bring Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and The Flash together on the big screen for the first time.
According to LA Times, "Had Warner lost its case against the heirs of Superman co-creator Joe Shuster, it would not have been able to make Justice League or any other movies, television shows or comics featuring key elements of the Man of Steel's mythos after 2013 unless it reached a new agreement with the estates of Shuster and co-creator Jerry Siegel."
Hopefully the studio is able to land a great director and solid cast for the project. The most recent rumor suggests that they want Armie Hammer to take on the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman, but as of right now nothing is set in stone. I imagine we'll start seeing a lot of news coming from the Warner Bros. studio lot now that they are moving full steam ahead on the superhero film project.
I'm excited about this movie, and I truly hope that the WB can pull it off. What are your thoughts on WB's Justice League?
