Which Supervillains Must Contend With The JUSTICE LEAGUE??

I am – Hercules!!


A reputable (if technically untested) source says he’s read the new “Justice League of America” script and lived to tell of it. This info below is teeming with major spoilers (especially if you haven’t read any DC Comics in a few years), so we have cloaked our source's answers in the miracle that is invisotext.

Keep in mind that this is a script that was maybe written before George Miller came aboard the project as director a few weeks ago. Since Miller typically writes or co-writes the movies he directs, things could change by the time “League” makes the leap to cinemas.

[NIGHTSWING]

Aquaman doesn't have big part! Bummer!

 

[Wally West]

cool. sounds legit, or at least lines up with what we've heard until this point.

 

[Rogzilla]

So...it is still an origin story for the League...interesting.

It seems, from what I am reading here, is that this film is focusing on the Flashes for Character and the Trinity for action and Batman for Plot. The other members are supporting characters.

I think that works. There is really no way they could really do EVERYONE in one film. That is why you have a franchise yo!

 

[Wally West]

I think the story seems very solid. If the casting doesn't disapoint me, I'm going to be very happy with the direction this project is going.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

I find it funny that this report mentions that The Flash gets a lot of attention, and the("fake") first 14 page treatment posted a Moviehole mentioned that it seemed like essentially a Flash movie.

 

[dark_b]

the best thing of the movie is the fight between batman.WW agains superman? i want JL agains supervillains not between them.

 

[Ironfan72]

Aquaman doesn't have big part! Bummer!

I'm with you, why have Aquaman if he has a small part, what a waste.

 

[Wally West]

I find it funny that this report mentions that The Flash gets a lot of attention, and the("fake") first 14 page treatment posted a Moviehole mentioned that it seemed like essentially a Flash movie.

Yeah...but if you've got two flashes in the film, you've gotta give a significant portion of the story to that. If Barry dies, you want to already know Wally, and see how much he's hurting that Barry's gone. Not just have a replacement show up at the funeral saying "Hey. I saw you guys had an add in the paper looking for a wisecracking speedster?"

 

[FlawlessVictory]

The league does not exist at the start of the film yet Batman doesn't trust any of them to the point where he uses Brother Eye on them? If there is no history between them why would he not trust them?

 

[Wally West]

I'm with you, why have Aquaman if he has a small part, what a waste.

Yeah...they should just ditch him altogether and give his screen time to MM.

 

[Wally West]

The league does not exist at the start of the film yet Batman doesn't trust any of them to the point where he uses Brother Eye on them? If there is no history between them why would he not trust them?

Not knowing them is a very good reason not to trust them. Especially for someone like Batman.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

Not knowing them is a very good reason not to trust them. Especially for someone like Batman.

So he's just going to be some super paranoid character not trusting anyone because he doesn't know them? At least in the comics he had reason to not trust them. I can understand being reluctant to join the league or being a bit cautious about some of the members but going to the point of using Brother Eye when they have yet to do anything is a bit much, IMO.

 

[The Guard]

Wow. What a scoop. Nevermind that someone who hasn't read the script could come up with even more detail.

Pathetic.

 

[Nighthawk_Fan]

What’s the best thing about the script?
Best thing about the script besides all the Flashes stuff is the fight with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

Man! This fight scene better be epic. Something that we, as viewers, have never seen before. That's what got me so hype about this movie. Can't for it!

 

[moguy]

AICN has really sucked lately.

More of a place to find out about independant films, than any news on "cool" films.

It's too bad. Years (many years) ago, it was the place to go to get news first. (on comics ,scifi, and fantasy films.)

 

[Wally West]

Man! This fight scene better be epic. Something that we, as viewers, have never seen before. That's what got me so hype about this movie. Can't for it!

I can see the Wonder Woman/Superman part of the fight scene being awsome, but what can they really do with Batman other than have him hold up a piece of krytonite? All the kung fu moves in the world won't matter at all against superman, maybe explosive batarangs would do some damage...IDK it'll be interesting

You need to see the Batman/Superman cross-over when they fight(the cartoon), Batman puts up a good fight WITHOUT using Kryptonite and then in the comics I'm sure Batman puts up another good fight whenever those two get into crossfire...besides, I could be wrong, but the piece of Kryptonite that Superman gave to Batman, isn't it in the Watchtower? I'm not a comic-book reader, but I thought Batman took the K up to the Watchtower.

Would be weird though seeing Superman fight Wonder Woman...I forsee women saying "What?? He's beating her up!!! Someone do something!!!" lawsuit right there...

 

[Nighthawk_Fan]

^With a kryptonite ring...

 

[XXTBWCXX]

^With a kryptonite ring...

I thought only Lex carries Kryptonite rings? I thought only Batman had a piece of meteor rock...and besides, I don't think Batman would have a K ring anyways, because the fight would then not even be epic.

 

[NIGHTSWING]

Good Greif! I hope we don't have Kryptonite in this moive! I am so sick of seeing it bringing the Big Boy down! Lets hope they come up with something new to bring him down to one knee!

And Where the love interest in this thing coming from? Summer Movies always have to have some Love to make the ladies happy! So who gets it on!

 

[Noir]

So this is Identity Crisis? Where is Blue Beetle? Ted Kord must be in this!

 

[NIGHTSWING]

Now Blue Beetle is a hero I can see Evans playing! So maybe he does show up to take a shot to the head!

 

[toad376]

Well guys ya most of it sounds pretty legit, but the truth is AICN isnt reliable, out of all of these superhero movie reporting sites they are one of the most unreliable. and yes this is info is reliable, mostly, but it has been being dicussed for i believe a week now over at Ugo.com and IESB.net, so he could of easily taken this from IESB.net or UGO.com.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

^ That's true.

The only thing I didn't know was how much Aquaman would be in the script.
