'Justice League' Script Tossed Out?
For quite some time now, we've been lamenting the snail-like pace of Warner Brothers' development of The Justice League movie. While Marvel puts film after film into motion, the massive DC team-up strode unsteadily forward with baby steps. No director was hired and it was even uncertain as to which actors would be playing some of the group's core characters; like, say, Batman for example. All we really had was a writer, Will Beall, who was putting together the script. Now, one outlet is reporting that Beall's script has been scrapped by the studio. The outlet claims multiple sources close to the project have confirmed the screenplay was thrown out for the simple reason that it was terrible. Some seem to believe that the massive cinematic undertaking will move forward with a different writer, but some are convinced that this is the end of 'The Justice League.' Suffice to say, the future of this film is unclear.
What the hell is going on at Warner Brothers? Why can't they get their act together the way Marvel has? This is hard for me to say as someone who has always been more of a DC guy, but it's hard to deny that Marvel studios is a well-oiled machine. Many people thought a movie version of both The Avengers and The Justice League would be impossible, and yet Marvel is poised to release its first batch of films after 'The Avengers' while 'The Justice League' heads back to the drawing board. My feeling is that Warner Brothers/DC needs a fearless overlord producer like Marvel's Kevin Feige; someone who can get things done but who is also a fan of the universe he/she is adapting. Warner Brother is too timid about their own titles, and they do not take as many chances on filmmakers. Not to disparage Zack Snyder, I actually like him as a filmmaker, but he is a safe choice for 'Man of Steel.' Frankly, the only risky hire they've made in recent memory was Christopher Nolan, and look how that paid off. If they ever actually want to get 'Justice League' off the ground, they've got to stop dragging their feet and think outside the box to acquire writers and directors.
What do you guys think? Are you discouraged? Do this setback make you think 'The Justice League' is dead? If you were to hire a new writer, who would it be?

Wow senor Chaken, really? So i guess the 1.5 BILLION DOLLARS worldwide the avengers have made was a fluke? Learn the facts before talking shit about a good movie... and Go back to gargling batman's balls.

Dear DC,
Hire a proper Movie Tsar with comic cred (Paul Dini, or Bruce Timm)
Use Arrow as your Television launch pad to build your universe.
Control your characters

These are all good signs to me. At least they're not in hurry to shit out a film. They want to make it good, compared to the avengers. I remember a couple of years ago they were already casting before there was even a script, with young tv pop stars. But now they're willing to go back to the drawing board because they want a better script says a lot, in my opinion...

Nolan's film ws supposed to be a one shot stand alone that got popular enough to make a trilogy. Outside of Batman, DC/ Warner Bros. don't know how to make a good comic book movie. "Man of Steel" Prove me wrong

They should just leave this alone. Don't mess with Justice League until you have a film series like Marvel's The Avengers going the way that's going. No matter what they do, this will be terrible. Establish each character first, then move to an ensemble. Not the other way around. Give us some characters to care about. Don't just do this for the money. But, I guess that's Hollywood for you. *sigh

This is going to same way as Green Hornet.
If they tossed this and did a live action version of New Frontier that would be so fucking awesome. That is the perfect way do a justice league movie. Having the Characters already established and not bunch of origin stories.

It would have never of worked unless they get all the other DC characters down and believable. Only Batman has that honor. And why aren't more ppl upset over Young Justice getting canned, thats the bigger loss here. I just hope the second season doesn't end in a flop like Avengers Earth Mightiest Heroes and Legend of Korra.

Hmm, if they make a justice leagues, wouldn't they have to make a new lantern? Because Jon Stewart is the real league lantern.
