It looks like, against all odds, we're finally going to get a Justice League film after all. Following Marvel's unprecedented success with superhero team-up blockbuster The Avengers Warner Bros seem extra eager to bring out their own version, going so far as to introduce half the characters in the upcoming Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice (seriously, how are they going to find the time to finish their deposition if there's new heroes wandering through the door every five minutes?). DC look a bit like Jonny-come-latelies but they actually got closer to making the huge superteam movie a good five years before Marvel teased the idea at the end of Iron Man. 2007's Justice League: Mortal sounded like the most promising of the various Warner Bros superhero pictures that were in the pipeline before Avengers showed up in multiplexes, with Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows writers Kieren and Michele Mulroney on script duties, Mad Max's George Miller in the director's chair, and a cast that included Armie Hammer as Batman, GI Joe's DJ Cotrona as Clark Kent/Superman, Adam Brody as The Flash and Megan Gale as Wonder Woman. There were rumblings that it might even be a Beowulf-style motion captured CGI flick, which would've helped with the budget concerns and production issues that, ultimately, sank the film.
