Our scoopster brethren at Latino Review, led by the disciple El Mayimbe, have the roster for Justice League, Warner Brothers' scrambled attempt at having themselves an Avengers-level hit. Going up the same summer as The Avengers 2 if they get their crap together (and sweet baby Jesus is that questionable) since there is still no director, greenlight or even an idea if this plays into The Man of Steel or does their own thing; new cast, continuity and all.
Ironic they blew the opportunity to be first out the gate with George Miller's Justice League: Mortal five years. Nobody was for it, save the people making it obviously, costs were through the roof, the Australian government was giving them grief over tax rates and Christopher Nolan was, shall we say, not too keen on stepping over his toes whilst his Dark Knight trilogy was active. Even took a dinner meeting with Bryan Singer while he was still steering Superman; a meeting of the minds, if you will, about how to avoid the incoming damage it would have inflicted. Needless to say it didn't happen and everyone, with good taste, was happy.
Cut to so many years later and here we are with the studio pushing ahead once again. Whether or not we, or their own people (*Cough*Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan*Cough*), approve. Anyway, here's the lineup:
There's room for maybe cameos from walking-joke Aquaman and Martian Manhunter. If this happens for 2015 (Not holding my breath; nor should you), they'll save a couple of bucks and reuse stuff cooked up for Justice League: Mortal like costumes, production design and even more set-pieces. Same as how they carried over work from Superman: Flyby for Man of Steel.
