This is good or bad news depending on your POV, but according to Variety, Justice will be served in 2009 after all. Warner Bros. has kick-started the "Justice League of America" movie that was supposedly stalled a few weeks back due to the writers strike. The pic is apparently going through some screenplay revisions from writers Kieran and Michele Mulroney while director George Miller ("Mad Max", "Happy Feet") works on pre-production in Australia.

The casting on this film has been the subject of much debate online, as fans of the JLA comics and cartoons argue over who's filling which set of tights. Adam Brody from "The O.C." is supposedly in as The Flash, which sounds good to me since that character is a smart-mouth. Hip Hop star Common is apparently cast as John Stewart/The Green Lantern -- not bad, but I'm a Hal Jordan GL guy and to me, that's the character who should be wearing the green ring in a JLA film.

Armie Hammer is rumored to be Bruce Wayne/Batman -- this is where I part ways with this project. No one, I mean NO ONE, should be playing Bats other than Christian Bale in any movie until or if Mr. Bale decides to hang up the cape & cowl. Besides the fact that any other actor will suffer in the comparison between portrayals, it's too confusing to have two Batmans running around multiplexes!

I haven't even discussed the issues regarding the casting of Superman ... ugh!

I hope they pull this off but this project has trouble written all over it. WB expects this to be one of its 2009 blockbuster hopefuls, but no specific release date has been set.
