It is rumoured that George Miller (director of the Mad Max trilogy and um, Happy Feet) is set to direct the DC Superhero team-up movie, JLA. Warner Bros is fast-tracking the feature based on super team the Justice League of America.
Nothing has been confirmed yet but it is encouraging to know he is being considered as Miller is a great action filmmaker. From the comic series that has teams-up all the classic DC superheroes, we hear that Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern will all play major roles in the film, and that we can expect at least one big superhero death.
How all of this will pan out with Batman turning up in ‘The Dark Knight’ in 2008 and another Superman instalment slated for 2009 is anyone’s guess. But with leagues of comic book fans always proving movie-going stalwarts, you can’t blame them for trying to cram them all into one film, can you?
