Justice League–Just Not Showing Up Any Time Soon
In a move that strikes me as probably a kind of divine justice struck down on high to prevent us poor mortal types from stepping into it up to our eyebrows, the proposed and already sorta started Justice League movie is on “indefinite hold”, so says the crew at Dark Horizons.
It’s Probably For The Best
Seriously…was anyone holding out any hope for this thing to be any less than a debacle? We pretty much hit the high water mark for DC properties with the Justice League Unlimited cartoon courtesy of Warner Brothers and Cartoon Network.
Aside from that, this went through all sorts of casting nightmares, script foul ups, and a host of lesser ill-defined problems before finally reaching the point where some suit pulled the plug.
For once, I’m glad Executive Meddling stepped in. Someone needed to put this puppy down before it bit the neighbors and gave them rabies. In the strictest metaphorical sense, of course.
Time Wounds All Heels. Or Is It Heals All Wounds?
But, given that it never really got out of the gate I’m prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt. Maybe with a little time to get some perspective on things, a little time for the WGA-affiliated writers involved in the project to get some lead back in their collective pencils, maybe they can turn this around and make it a project worth watching.
Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

Is it just me, or is the Justice League kind of a silly idea to begin with?
Superman flying a jet…
Wasn’t it Wonder Woman who was supposed to be flying the jet? Course, if they go like the cartoon did and bring in those Javelins, I can work with that. Even if I were Superman I wouldn’t want to have to go from Earth to the Watchtower all the time. The reentry heat alone would give me a rash.
The most confusing JL tie-in I’ve seen is the Superman toy that COMES WITH A PERSONAL-SIZED JET.
HE CAN FLY. WTF.
If they ever make the movie, I want them to write JL Superman like Alan Moore did in some one-shot, maybe it was actually Swamp Thing, I can’t remember. Superman had this amazing super-intelligence. He explained all these arcane scientific concepts from the background - isn’t his degree in like Journalism or something?
Hasn’t Alan Moore officially disavowed himself from every movie translation of his work so far?
DC still owns everything he ever wrote, so it doesn’t matter.
Considering From Hell, LXG, and most of V for Vendetta, I support his boycott 100%.
