Okay... You Want A Big Fat Juicy Exclusive Comic Book Movie Rumor? Try Some JLA Action On For Size...

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

This is a rumor.

I want to make that clear.

Having said that, it’s a credible rumor, and one that seems to me to be worth passing along, especially while the entire geek nation is about to walk into a Warner Bros. presentation. You want something to ask them about?

Ask them about JLA.

We’ve heard that they are interested in making a JLA film, and we’ve heard that the JLA script is pretty far along in development.

How far? Far enough for a certain Warner exec to be reading it yesterday?

Greetings, insects...this is the SCARLET EYE.

As I was taking the Amtrak Surfliner down to San Diego for the 'Con yesterday, I happened to look across the aisle and spotted a gentleman reading a script. It was some sort of JUSTICE LEAGUE project. Live or animated, I do not know. Info in bold should be redacted, please:

[Someone’s identity removed for their own protection]

I know that Superman, Batman, The Flash, Aquaman, and Jon Stewart all appear in the script.

Maxwell Lord, OMAC, and someone named Talia (Al Ghul?) all appear. One of the OMACs is referred to as "Beta", so the story may involve the start of the OMAC project.

The SCARLET EYE has closed.

Fascinating. If this happens and we also get an AVENGERS movie in the next few years, that’s when we know that we’ve turned a corner into a new, more-complicated world of superhero movies. Like I said... fascinating.
