JL needs a great director no doubt. Or else i just wont be interested. They need a good director and a great actor playing Batman and im back in the game. Otherwise a random actor playing the role, with a not so great director, with the Gangster Squad writer?? Not interested anymore.

Well, Will Beall said on Twitter (he's since closed his account) that he had handed in the first draft and he was waiting to hear back from WB. This was a few months ago.

Absolutely. They need a great director. WB can't afford otherwise. They have found that it only has worked with Nolan and hopefully Snyder. To go for just a serviceable director-for-hire...the JL movie is just too big and important for them. They should go for the biggest talent they can find and who wants to take it on.

Has anyone read that hilarious article on the shiznet about how Will Beall has this huge and frustrating responsibility in writing the script for this film? I can't post it here because of the language but I can't help but think it's pretty close to the truth.

Thanks for that. I just read it.

I liked the "notes" Beall supposedly wrote:

STORY??? Aliens or something? Friendship etc.

Anyway, I'm sure we can post the link right:

Looking at the front poll on superherohype's anticipated 2014 Summer releases, I just realised that DC does not have any superhero movies scheduled for next summer.

DC needs to step it up.

Next Summer, Marvel is going to own the box office with these triple threats....The Amazing Spiderman 2, Guardians of the Galaxy and X Men: Days of Future Past.

Not to mention, Captain America 2....thought it will not be released during Summer.

DC has None for next year.

Yeah, that's what happens when your properties are spread across 3 different studios and one only makes superhero movies.

El Mayimbe promises that he will have that JL scoop up soon...

It better be worth the wait, that's all I'm saying...

???? DC is owned by WB. No other studios owned DC.

[Jake Cassidy]

He's talking about Marvel.

I agree that more DC movies would be great...but not because of the 'threat' of Marvel making a lot of money...

why is it always a competition?

Why not?

Well, not if it forces them to think about their movies more. Honestly, do you really think we'd get a JL movie if it had not been for the Avengers? I know they have been trying to plan a movie for the better part of the last couple of decades but they have had plenty of obstacles! At the risk of "counting my chickens before they hatch", I'd say Avengers' success gave them the motivation to work past those obstacles!

As pointed out already, he HFMF was talking about Marvel characters. Spider-Man is being developed by Sony, X-Men is being developed by Fox and Guardians by Marvel Studios. If all the films are classed as "Marvel" then they are in competition with themselves.

DC Comics do not have a movie studio, so to say Marvel is beating DC is moot, because there isn't a DC for them to beat, it's like saying McDonalds is beating Apple in the fast food market, even though Apple do not have any plans to make an iBurger.

WB do not need to continually release superhero films. They have other franchises:

The Hobbit
Sherlock Holmes
The Hangover
Journey

Plus that is neglecting other original properties that Warner Bros are greenlighting like next years Pacific Rim and will be co-producing Interstellar should Christopher Nolan decide to take the reins.

This. Elmayimbe is an attention ho, if he was a respectable journalist hed just post the frickin scoop when he got confirmation, he wouldnt keep everyone waiting like this!

[mat-chow]

Are we thinking he's even going to post today? That would be a nice surprise.

He doesn't have the confirmation. That's why he hasn't posted.

Im aware of that. What he should have done is just waited to post anything on the internet about having a scoop until he was positive about it, basically what Im saying is those twitter posts are blue balling us, he shouldve just waited and then posted the story on his website.

[shauner111]

Why not? It gets people excited. Nothing wrong with that. I would do the same if i had something good.

[Rorschach2012]

I guess you have a point. I'm just so thirsty (we all are) for Justice League news, we haven't heard anything about this movie in a while :P

Like I said before, Latino Review has an official Twitter for the site that's only headlines. If you don't want to be teased, I'd recommend just following that one.

Hah. Alright man. I don't follow either.

I dont like how he says to retweet when he posts about having a scoop, without even posting the scoop. Thats just asking for attention. He craves recognition and its kinda weird. I'd respect him more if he just posted news when he was sure about it, instead of these attention grabbing teases.

Let's just hope he posts the story today.

Well, the number of page views kind of keep the site alive and getting those views is his job. The more people who see the retweets keep an eye on the site and read it there instead of on another site.

[ThePowerCosmic]

Don't really care if anyone disagrees but this is some BS. It's a ridiculously long wait for his scoop..he should have waited until he had confirmation.
