Christopher Nolan will NOT be making a Justice League movie


While he has successfully rebooted Batman and had some influence in the upcoming Superman film, Christopher has announced that he will not be involved the Justice League movie.

He said:
 "Batman will outlive us all, and our interpretation was ours. Obviously, we consider it definitive and kind of finished. The great thing about Batman is he lives on for future generations to reinterpret, and obviously, Warners will have to decide in the future what they’re going to do with him. We’ve had our say on the character. … I’ve got no plans to do anything more, and certainly, no involvement with any Justice League project.”
That's sad to hear, because they need a good director to pull something like the JL off well. Perhaps we will hear something at Comic-Con about this.

Look Out for a Bunch of DC Comics' Superheroes Films heading to the Screen


WB and DC Entertainment have announced their plans to release tons of DC Comics movies in the near future.
This week, the studio revealed it tapped "Gangster Squad" scribe Will Beall to revive "Justice League," which WB unplugged in 2008, and hired Michael Goldenberg (one of the many writers of "Green Lantern") to pen "Wonder Woman." 

Those projects now join in development films based on the Flash, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Lobo, the Suicide Squad and Shazam. DC and WB are also facing a decision on how to reboot Batman once "The Dark Knight Rises" completes Christopher Nolan's take on the caped crusader, featuring Christian Bale in the cowl. 

Studio is figuring out whether to bring back Ryan Reynolds as the Green Lantern in a sequel to last year's actioner or relaunch the character in a completely new way.
The funny thing is, regardless of the number of these projects, will they be successful? The keys to Marvel's success are the writers and directors.

Can WB and DC Entertainment be consistent in finding the winning combinations? That remains to be seen. So far, I'm concerned.

Justice League, Wonder Woman now have Screenwriters


Well, I knew WB was doing something. Since The Avengers has made history and kicked major movie ass this summer, WB/DC Comics are coming with their big movie news.
While Disney and Marvel were busy shooting "The Avengers" last year, Warner Brothers quietly began getting its own all-star superhero pic back on track, tapping "Gangster Squad" scribe Will Beall to write "Justice League," based on the WB-controlled stable of DC Comics superheroes.
 And, they have writers for other DC proprieties

 DC Comics is a vital component of Warner Bros.' intellectual property, as "Green Lantern" scribes Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green were tapped to write "The Flash" for director Greg Berlanti, while another "Green Lantern" scribe, Michael Goldenberg, was hired to write "Wonder Woman." Additionally, Brad Peyton is working on a new draft of "Lobo," while John Kamps and David Koepp are developing "Spy vs. Spy" as a potential directing vehicle for Ron Howard. WB also developed the "Aquaman" property several years ago.
The WW writer scares me because Green Lantern was a HAM, (Hot Ass Mess). And while these are good writers, they are not Joss. But, I guess we will see how this may turn out.
