IESB say that the big decision was made on Tuesday to put the JLA film “officially on hold” until “at the very least” the end of the writer’s strike, which would mean a probable June start date at the earliest. All actors involved with the picture are now looking for other work (which should be interesting to see who gets jobs in the following weeks, confirming their prior contractual agreement to the movie).
The last six months or so since this project really went into fifth gear has seen an Internet response to every single aspect of production like no other film in recent memory.
It’s shown to Warner Brothers indefinitely that there is an interest from the movie community in seeing a JLA film sometime down the road (whether it’s in continuity as we would all prefer, stand-alone, a Batman vs. Superman movie or whatever) and we all wanna see them succeed at this… but to do that they need a better plan than hiring high-school actors and going through money-rushed productions.
Warner Brothers and DC are not at the stage yet where they could make this film. Take note of what Marvel are doing. Let’s actually setup a Universe full of characters first, with good stand-alone movies before we can start considering team-up epics.

That cast looked entirely random. 35 year old Green Lantern, with a 21 year old Batman, next to a 33 year old Wonder Woman, and a blond pixie Talia and wimpy comic guy as Max Lord.
Miller was doing some serious drugs to come up with that.
WB’s next move needs to be to drop George Miller and hire another director. Somebody who GETS it. But then again Nolan seems to be the best they can do, and hiring Singer was more along the lines of hoping he would bring some of tat X-Men magic, but this time without the self-discipine that would have been required.
Sad.
i truly wished someone would continue with the justice league unlimited because there is still alot of untold story lines and there are still so many new directions that the writes could go with the charactors. i have all the justice league unlimited dvd’s and yet i feel like i am un fulfilled in the adventure’s that could be. i just recently bought the justice league ” the new frontier” it was ok telling how some of the heroes got there powers but those stories have been told already and the premis being set in the 50’s threw me for a loop. i think you guess had a great thing with justice league unlimited, i knew alot of older people such as myself enjoed and never miss the show, even now it shows on spike and i just sit and watch the re-runs. If your going to continue with the new frontier at least make the time frame more realistic. I truly hope to see more of the justice league in the future that is truly my favorite show and the green lantern is my charactor. Hey why don’t someone star his charactor in a big budget film like batman, superman, spawn ect… i know it would be a huge money maker. yours truly markel….
