While Disney and Marvel were busy shooting "The Avengers" last year, Warner Brothers quietly began getting its own all-star superhero pic back on track, tapping "Gangster Squad" scribe Will Beall to write "Justice League," based on the WB-controlled stable of DC Comics superheroes.

Warner Bros. had no comment on the top-secret hire, which, due to its timing, was more in anticipation of -- rather than a reaction to -- the box office success of "The Avengers."

Beall has yet to turn in his "Justice League" script, though he has become a favorite scribe of Warners. He's writing the studio's "Lethal Weapon" reboot and its remake of "Logan's Run," which is expected to reteam "Gangster Squad" thesp Ryan Gosling with his "Drive" director Nicolas Winding Refn. Warners will release "Gangster Squad" on Sept. 7.

Warners originally tried to mount a "Justice League" movie several years ago, with George Miller directing from a script by Kieran and Michele Mulroney. That iteration was set to star Adam Brody as the Flash, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman and then-newcomer Armie Hammer as Batman. Back in January 2008, the studio cited a lack of tax breaks as the main reason it pulled the plug on the project, which also needed a rewrite that wasn't possible because of the writers' strike.

DC Comics is a vital component of Warner Bros.' intellectual property, as "Green Lantern" scribes Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green were tapped to write "The Flash" for director Greg Berlanti, while another "Green Lantern" scribe, Michael Goldenberg, was hired to write "Wonder Woman." Additionally, Brad Peyton is working on a new draft of "Lobo," while John Kamps and David Koepp are developing "Spy vs. Spy" as a potential directing vehicle for Ron Howard. WB also developed the "Aquaman" property several years ago.

Beall is repped by CAA and Management 360.

Yeeees, that means like..at least 5-7 movies of the members before the teamup?

I hope they go through with it this time. DC needs to step away from just Batman and Superman movies.

They'll get something made.... Kind of hard to just watch all these Marvel movies keep getting made and bringing in the cash.

Hopefully we'll get some quality super hero movies out of it. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

In order for them to do a Justice League movie, they're gonna have to do "reboot" Batman & Superman movies beforehand since those 2 guys are one of the founding fathers of the Super Friends.........sorry to disappoint :loltongue:

 

[Mr. Yellow]

They plan to reboot Batman, and Man of Steel is a reboot as well.

Yeah, that pretty much was a "signal"/hint for me that there will be a Justice League movie in the future...........giving those 2 guys another movie reboot seemed more like a premeditated plan to answer back at Marvel's "Avengers"

You kinda feel bad for DC playing second banana every single time to Marvel....remember way back when MK vs. DC was just a random joke in the late 90s.

We get Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and possibly Martian Manhunter though!

Or Cyborg, if they're going off of The New 52.
