Hello everyone! I hardly ever post on the forums, I just don’t have the time but Robert told me you guys were begging for some more information about the alleged JLA script floating around.
Now don’t get all huffy but Robert and I agreed that he would not be sending the pdf file out to anyone. There is still some debate over whether it’s “real” or not. I know Robert thinks it’s totally fake, which honestly I hope to God it is because it’s a real let down for me, but I am still holding out on my opinion of its authenticity, I will wait for the final verdict before I make any announcements.
I know it completely conflicts with what we have been told thus far and conflicts with the script that got out a month back, but, George “Happy Feet” Miller is on board now and if he’s got a different villain in mind, or a different direction he wanted the film and its sequels to go, he could have very well asked for a page one rewrite. I’m just saying it’s possible, so no comment from me yet.
However, I have done a write up of the story details to share with you all in case you wanted more info. I tried to be detailed but couldn’t help add a couple quips due to the blatant stupidity of some plot points.
Here you go –
So what happened? These writers googled Justice League, read a synopsis of Crisis on Earth Three (plus some elements of Crisis of Infinite Earths) and checked out the Wikipedia page of the Maxwell Lord/OMAC storyline and decided to throw these two together and come up with this…this…fodder?!
The script opens with some notes about using Motion Capture during the opening scenes of the film (they should, this feels worse than ‘70’s Super Friends cheesy), then into a combination of traditional shooting and CGI.
We start the film with an introduction to John Stewart AKA Green Lantern. He’s flying a super sonic jet. Oooh, he’s cool…
He soon receives a message that he’s needed urgently and puts the jet on auto-pilot to circle the planet a few times. He is surrounded by a bubble of green and lo and behold out pops Green Lantern.
His mission is to help the crew of a nuclear sub that has gone awry.
The commander describes a giant monster with many arms, Green Lantern’s only question, “Was he yellow?” I’m kidding, he didn’t ask that but there is a big monster with many arms described.
After evacuating the crew and failing to stop the nuclear leak with a green band, John wraps the whole sub in a green glow and drags it into space where is blows up.
He returns to the crew. Everything is A-OK!
We cut to the coastline and a lighthouse. A giant octopus or LEVIATHAN as the story calls it has come here through a wormhole in the sky and has decided the lighthouse looks like a good lunch, he decides to start crushing it.
Aquaman to the rescue!
But wait, there is more at stake then there seems, Aquaman’s father is in the lighthouse! Can you believe it! (Obviously we are seeing the Silver Age origin version of Aquaman here)
After Aquaman fails to stop the LEVIATHAN by himself, he goes back in the ocean for reinforcements, an army of whales.
But upon his return he is too late, the LEVIATHAN is gone and only a crushed lighthouse remains. Hmmm, eerie…
Intro for Wonder Woman.
Cut to two beautiful women duking it out. Sweat and big boobs writhing around what more could you ask for? Wonder Woman is sword fighting another Amazonian.
Suddenly a shadow overtakes them as they see a giant orb shooting blue (lasers?) beams in the sky. Luckily, Superman (coincidence) is there fighting this strange being.
Using an old sunk submarine as cover, Superman shields himself from the blue beams and together with Wonder Woman defeats the floating orb (where are the Ghost Hunters when you need them? I hear they are experts on floating orbs).
The orb hits the ground but quickly disappears.
Jump to Cleveland. Intro of The Flash.
I love the Flash, he’s a great character, cocky, funny and still gets the job done. He’s one of my favorite DC characters, second only to Booster Gold. Go ahead, laugh all you want, he’s the bomb.
Here we find Flash battling Trickster who is using Teddy Bear bombs.
Flash quickly takes down Trickster. As he’s giving his interviews to the news corp, something blurry passes by, it’s so fast even Flash can barely see it. Hmm, again, odd.
Cut to a lab, somewhere unknown.
Introduction of Maxwell Lord.
Using RED-EYE, Lord uses his technology to bring a group of superbeings to Earth. Not just any group of superbeings, it’s Ultraman, Superwoman, Owlman, Johnny Quick and Power Ring. Yes, it’s the introduction of the Crime Syndicate.
I have to stop here a sec. In the notes of the script it says these are the Crime Syndicate soon to be the OMAC squad. WTF?! On with the details…
They are mad as hell and they aren’t gonna take it anymore!
Lord informs them that there is good in this world to vanquish and there’s no time like the present.
Cut to the Hall of Justice IN SPACE! (You have to say that like “Pigs in Space” for that to be funny) Another note in the script says this will be based on the designs of the animated series not the comics. Well then why not just call it the Watchtower like in the series, that would make sense to me…
Batman and Wonder Woman are hard at work installing equipment (don’t they have people for that?)
A message from RED-EYE appears on Batman’s screen but he quickly changes it so no other eyes catch it.
Then Flash pops up on the monitor. He is ready to perform the equipment test.
Batman informs us here that everything is being funded by Wayne Industries.
As Flash is running around the world performing the equipment check, cut to Maxwell Lord as he continues to describe his evil plan, just as every good supervillain does.
End scene with devilish laughter, bwahaha, bwahaha….
Cut back to the Watchtower, I mean Hall of Justice IN SPACE!
Alarms are going off left and right. What could it be?
The matter transporter is transporting some matter into the space station. It’s J’ONN J’ONZZ, heavens to murgatroyd!
The heroes are confused, who is this strange green figure who has just invaded their space station? Superman attacks (yeah that’s smart) and misses, Wonder Woman follows and fails as well.
Batman approaches, J’ONN informs the group that their world is coming to an end and he’s got the info on how to stop it. Dun, dun, daaaa…
Start Justice League music here…Title sequence ensues.
