Speaking of Brandon Routh, I'm kind of surprised that he hasn't come forward and thrown his name in the hat for JLA. Then again, maybe he read the script...
Just for the heck of it. . .one of the many, many actresses rumored to be in the running for Wonder Woman was (is?) Emily Deschanel, the star of Bones. The knock on her is usually that she's too skinny. Hmmm--I dunno. She's dressed as WW for the upcoming Halloween episode of Bones, and she at least seems to have the thighs. . .
In a word ... NO! What's wrong with her eyes? They look really sunk in. Again, I can only hope these casting rumors are being plucked out of thin air because if there's any truth to them ... shudders.
Ugh...NO. Just no.
And to think that I was psyched about this project weeks ago...
I kinda think she's cute. And nice thighs. Very impressive. Catwoman's not too shabby either. And David Boreanaz is looking very geeky. Maybe he's going to the party as Clark Kent. He'd make a fine Superman, but he'd make an even better Batman.
Spectreisland tipped me off to the news this morning. Looks like a live action Green Lantern movie is in the early stages of development and the film will focus on ... HAL JORDAN! Greg Berlanti of Everwood fame has signed on to co-write and direct the film. Based on the article, he seems to be a real fan of the book and is planning a series of GL movies; he's even planning to include the Green Latern Corps. I guess this also explains why the JLA movie (if it ever gets made) wants to focus on John Stewart). Here's a link to an article with more info:

This is good news but they'd better be careful how this is handled. As opposed to the comics, in a real life spectrum, GL can come off as fantastical to the point that it's silly. I really don't want another Duck Dodgers short. The ring should be taken seriously.
I'm all for it as long as they leave the white gloves out. They should consider different ideas about that codpiece too.
Will the Guardians be CGI'ed or hired little people you think? Kilowag's got to make a cameo too.
Mrs. Man Face: "You wouldn't hit a lady? Would you?"
Batman: "The Hammer Of Justice isUNISEX!"
-Batman: The Brave & The Bold -
Yeah, they need to tread carefully with GL but there is a lot of cool material in the mythos that can be mined.
If this is really going to be a multi-picture deal; then I can see the first film centering primarily on Hal acquiring the ring, learning to deal with it, and having a confrontation with a major (but not necessarily Sinestro level) villain. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see the Guardians or the GL Corps until near the end of the first movie.
Based on the comments in the article, it looks like CGI will play a big part in this movie; so I'd expect the Guardians (and maybe even a few of the other GL's) to be CG creations.
As to the costume, just go with something similar to what is used in the WB animated shows and I think that will look just fine. And for the last time, GL does not wear a codpiece! )

Is it a one-piece? Leotard? Body-stocking under a green body vest? I'm serious here. )
In any case, the costume must be revised without losing the look. Even without muscles this looks unsettling...

That entire film should be erased from history. I'm worried that Nolan is taking the whole realism thing too far but there's little he can do which will be as ridiculous as those costumes. )

The Wonder Woman film has officially been put on the backburner at WB; this news comes straight from producer Joel Silver who says that since they were never able to get a handle on the story, they've decided to shelve the project. Rumors also continue to persist that WB has cooled off to films with female leads after the poor performance of The Invasion and The Brave one. Silver does mention that WW will be in the new JLA film and that they may revisit a WW movie down the road if JLA does really well. Click on through for the full story...

I just finished reading: BATMAN: Dark Victory and it is an excellent follow-up to The Long Halloween. Jeff Loeb is a good writer for Bats and I loved the grounded pace to it. I did just come back from buying Haunted Knight a few minutes ago...
Trying to take Tony's advice on the Infinity Crisis arc, I bought a prelude to IC: The Omac Project graphic novel last night and after reading about 20-30 pages, it just wasn't for me. I took it back right away. The Batman cover was sort of misleading and it was a tad too sci-fi to hold my interests with its overly-sensational pace. Is there something else connected to this arc that can help get me over how numb this book was? The art was great but I felt that the writer depended on the artist to do the dirty work for him.
One thing that I will give the writer credit for, he made Wonder Woman more feminine than she usually is and I have a resurged respect for her because she basically OWNED in this book.

I didn't read the OMAC book or any of the other tie-ins, but the whole point of the lead-ups to Infinity Crisis was to paint as bleak a picture of the DCU as possible as that is was causes the Earth II Superman to come back. As such, I can see how they might not be all that fun of a read.
I'd just go straight to Infinity Crisis as it can pretty much stand on its own in terms of following the story. The foreword in the bound edition gives you whatever background info you may need. It's still one of my favorite recent crossovers and the big guns of the DCU all have their moments to shine although make no mistake, at the end of the day, it is very much a Superman story.
BTW, did you catch today's episode of The Batman? Flash makes a guest appearance as he and the dynamic duo take on the Mirror Master. Another great show and I really love what they did with Flash's ticks and mannerisms.

Really great show today. I loved how they did The Flash and I'm just wondering which hero is to guest star next week. It would be an injustice not to have Hal Jordan by season's end...I know that it won't happen but it would be nice to have Bats teamed up with conspiracy nut The Question once....voiced by Jeffrey Combs of course
Is it me or does this Dick Grayson act more like Tim Drake? I don't ever remember D.G. being that cool...corny but not cool. I've always liked Drake a little more anyway.

You know, in all the shows I've seen, I've never heard him called anything but "Robin" so I wasn't sure which one he was. Definitely has more 'tude than Grayson; he's more like a combination of Drake with a little Jason Todd in there as well.
I also love how they made the Flash hyperactive - which is exactly the way you'd expect him to be.
Green Lantern did have a few crossovers with Batman in the books so I'm sure they could come up with a good story. He's already made one brief appearance in that show where they all form the JLA so there's hope that he'll make an appearance some time this year.
BTW, changing gears here but it looks like the long threatened writer's strike has come to fruition. AP reports writers are already out on the picket lines. This could impact a lot of genre stuff. In addition to backburning (or - dare I hope - killing) the JLA movie, I've read that Heros and Battlestar Galactica could end up with abbreviated seasons because of the strike.

As long as it doesn't prolong nor hinder the release of TDK, Iron Man & The Hulk 2 next summer, I won't lose sleep over it.
Those films are all deep into production, so they're safe; as is JJ Abrams' Star Trek ( not sure if that's a good thing or not )
Though I'm pretty sure that Punisher 2 will be caught in the crossfire...
I'm afraid you may be right. Where's Dolph Lundgren when you need him?
Hopefully it won't last long...but I vaguely remember the last strike and how lengthy it was.
I was reading an article that discussed the decreased importance of movies and TV in today's society relative to the time of the last strike. With other forms of entertainment like video games so readily available, there probably won't be the same public outcry that this get resolved quickly this time around. Not sure who that favors; in the end I think both sides will be hurt by this.

Why don't you want a JLA movie? It's not going to be directed by Singer or Raimi.

Based on what I've read so far Dan, it just sounds like a stinker. The villains of the piece are about as second rate as you can get; the actors being thrown around for the various parts so far are hardly inspiring, all signs point to a more "family friendly" movie, and um...oh yeah, Hal Jordan isn't in it!
Maybe the writers' strike is a good thing in that it will get the powers that be who are behind this movie to rethink some of their creative decisions. I'd love to see a JLA film; but if they have another Batman & Robin up their sleeve then it's best to just let it go.

You're probably right to be concerned. Some of the casting possibities mentioned in this forum didn't really excite me either. However, there is one reason why I am looking forward to this film. The sultan of speed, the master of movement, the king of superheroes; The Flash! {[] {[]

I have no idea if this is true, but apparently Australian supermodel Megan Gale has auditioned for the role of Wonder Woman in the JLA film. Personally, although I do think she's good looking, I don't think she's particularly amazonian. It's an interesting choice, but not one that overly impresses me. Anyway, you can judge for yourself: http://www.webwombat.com.au/lifestyle/fashion_beauty/images/gale.JPG
As I said, this might just be a rumour, and I hope that it is no more than that, but who knows.

Well in any case, she certainly looks exotic enough. Could use a decent workout for WW but...nice. B-) Not much acting experience though?

JLA, G.I. Joe, TF2 and Wolverine Updates
Source: Variety November 10, 2007
Variety has published yet another article on the projects that might or might not have difficulty starting because of the writers strike. Here are clips on Justice League, G.I. Joe, Transformers 2 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine:
Major tentpoles are the most vulnerable should the strike drag on. Warner Bros. execs are nervous about how to proceed with "Justice League of America," which is still uncast and is a crucial potential franchise boasting popular DC Comics characters. While WB expects to move ahead on most of its projects, if the strike extends past February, the studio will have some reevaluating to do.

The Rock plays Black Adam in "Shazam!" By dtemplar
11-06-2007, 10:21 PM
The Sci Fi Wire reports that former World Wrestling Entertainment champion, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has signed on to play the role of Captain Marvel's powerful arch-enemy Black Adam in New Line Cinema's upcoming film, Shazam!.
Based on the DC Comics character, the film chronicles Billy Batson, who transforms into the powerful superhero Captain Marvel by saying the magic word, 'Shazam!'.
Black Adam has the same powers as Captain Marvel, but turned evil.
Johnson was recently seen in the Disney movie The Game Plan, and will star in the new film Southland Tales.
Filming will begin in late 2008. No word on who will play the role of Captain Marvel.
Let's hope this means that THE perfect choice for Cap'n Marvel, Brandon Molale, will be signed. Of course, let's also hope that the writers' strike doesn't shut down the production for good!

Megan's attractive, but there are plenty of great looking women who could play Wonder Woman.Hopefully the producers aren't so close-minded as to think that only natural brunettes can play WW--in an industry where wigs and hair dye are available.:)
I always though that either Nastasha Henstridge or Victoria Pratt would've been outstanding as WW a few years ago.Victoria Silvstedt would've been an interesting choice as well.
In my opinion Species IV's Helena Mattsson has all of the necessary qualities to be a successful Wonder Woman.She's young,athletic,talented, and gorgeous.All she needs is black hair--which is easy to provide.:)

The comic only came out a few years back yet it got greenlit for a motion picture before Watchmen? Go figure...

New Justice League Cast Members?
Source: Superhero Hype! November 19, 2007
Keep in mind that Warner Bros. has yet to reveal any cast members, but this is a list of names Superhero Hype! received over the weekend as to who might be cast in Justice League. Yes, we realize the much rumored Adam Brody is not listed here as The Flash. Our answer? We just don't know what's up, plain and simple:
Superman - D.J. Cotrona
Batman - Armie Hammer
Wally West/The Flash - Anton Yelchin
Aquaman - Santiago Cabrera
Iris - Zoe Kazan
Wonder Woman - Megan Gale
Talia al Ghul - Teresa Palmer
Green Lantern - Common
We must repeat, the above names are not confirmed. They might not be confirmed for a while, because a new article talking about the writers strike at The Hollywood Reporter says that Justice League might not be as sure of a thing as it seems:
At Warner Bros., "Justice League of America" finds itself without a shooting script and has options expiring on potential actors who recently were screen tested. As a result, it might have to postpone production.

Warner Bros. execs are nervous about how to proceed with "Justice League of America," which is still uncast and is a crucial potential franchise boasting popular DC Comics characters. While WB expects to move ahead on most of its projects, if the strike extends past February, the studio will have some reevaluating to do.

The Rock plays Black Adam in "Shazam!"

The Sci Fi Wire reports that former World Wrestling Entertainment champion, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has signed on to play the role of Captain Marvel's powerful arch-enemy Black Adam in New Line Cinema's upcoming film, Shazam!.
Based on the DC Comics character, the film chronicles Billy Batson, who transforms into the powerful superhero Captain Marvel by saying the magic word, 'Shazam!'.
Black Adam has the same powers as Captain Marvel, but turned evil.
Johnson was recently seen in the Disney movie The Game Plan, and will star in the new film Southland Tales.
Filming will begin in late 2008. No word on who will play the role of Captain Marvel.
Let's hope this means that THE perfect choice for Cap'n Marvel, Brandon Molale, will be signed. Of course, let's also hope that the writers' strike doesn't shut down the production for good!
Megan's attractive, but there are plenty of great looking women who could play Wonder Woman.Hopefully the producers aren't so close-minded as to think that only natural brunettes can play WW--in an industry where wigs and hair dye are available.:)
I always though that either Nastasha Henstridge or Victoria Pratt would've been outstanding as WW a few years ago.Victoria Silvstedt would've been an interesting choice as well.
In my opinion Species IV's Helena Mattsson has all of the necessary qualities to be a successful Wonder Woman.She's young,athletic,talented, and gorgeous.All she needs is black hair--which is easy to provide.:)

Here's the trailer:

The comic only came out a few years back yet it got greenlit for a motion picture before Watchmen? Go figure...

New Justice League Cast Members?
Source: Superhero Hype! November 19, 2007
Keep in mind that Warner Bros. has yet to reveal any cast members, but this is a list of names Superhero Hype! received over the weekend as to who might be cast in Justice League. Yes, we realize the much rumored Adam Brody is not listed here as The Flash. Our answer? We just don't know what's up, plain and simple:
Superman - D.J. Cotrona
Batman - Armie Hammer
Wally West/The Flash - Anton Yelchin
Aquaman - Santiago Cabrera
Iris - Zoe Kazan
Wonder Woman - Megan Gale
Talia al Ghul - Teresa Palmer
Green Lantern - Common
We must repeat, the above names are not confirmed. They might not be confirmed for a while, because a new article talking about the writers strike at The Hollywood Reporter says that Justice League might not be as sure of a thing as it seems:
At Warner Bros., "Justice League of America" finds itself without a shooting script and has options expiring on potential actors who recently were screen tested. As a result, it might have to postpone production.
