Ben Affleck in talks to Direct Justice League Movie
Warner Bros. Developing Wonder Woman Before ‘JLA' and the Chris Nolan Factor
[Screencrave.com] As I suspected, we will most likely get a Wonder Woman movie and other character origin story stand-alone movies before we get a 'Justice League' movie, following Marvel's film 'Avengers' franchise formula.
...which makes sense.
The question is, which movie will come first in the series? Warner Brothers' is willing to give Wonder Woman another shot, but they also have plans for The Flash, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Lobo, Suicide Squad, and Shazam.
And if Warner Brother's follows Marvel's film formula, Wonder Woman fans may have to wait a long to see her. After all, there was a four year between the first Marvel movie leading up to the Avengers. Wonder Woman could be first in line, she could be in the middle or the last movie before a Justice League movie.
[WhatCulture.com] In other news, Variety hinted that Christopher Nolan maybe approached with the job of spearheading the movies.
Nolan and his wife/producer Emma Thomas will act as executive producers to the rebooting of Batman that will come after this summer’s spectacular.
None of this means of course that Chris Nolan is directing “Justice League” or will have as much creative decision making as Joss Whedon on “The Avengers” but it does indicate he will have HUGE involvement and that will no doubt please fans who might be concerned over DC’s approach with this, considering their recent films made without Nolan’s involvement.
Either way, the situation is expected to be clearer after “The Dark Knight Rises” has left theaters;
Warner Bros. isn’t expected to make any concrete moves on the DC film front until after the third Batpic opens on July 20.

Warner Brothers Hires New Screenwriter for a Potential JLA Movie
After the box office success of Joss Whedon's 'The Avengers' - I wondered how long it would take for Warner Brothers' to make a Justice League movie. DC fans need not worry any longer as DC has hired a new screenwriter: Will Beall.
According to Variety:
If you look at the cast list for that 'JLA' movie, you'd thank the heavens it didn't go forward. Imagine the actor behind the Winklevie brothers in The Social Network as Batman, and the geeky kid from 'The O.C' as the Flash and some random hot babe as Wonder Woman? Die-hard Christopher Nolan fans probably cannot picture anyone else in the role of the Dark Knight except Christian Bale.
Whether Bale will actually be available for this movie is still up in the air, or if the movie itself will include all famous JLA members is still a mystery. But if Warner Brothers' is serious about this (and it seems they are this time), we could see Wonder Woman on the big screen. If the movie is a success, maybe we will see spin-off movies...Who knows? Maybe if Wonder Woman is a hit she'll get her own movie.
Beal's writing credits include 32 episodes of ABC's 'Castle,'the 5th Legal Weapon movie, Logan's Run (Look Nicolas Winding Refn-Wonder Woman connection!) and Gangster Land which is due for release in September.

| Will Beall, New Lead Screenwriter for JLA movie |
Warners originally tried to mount a "Justice League" movie several years ago, with George Miller directing from a script by Kieran and Michele Mulroney. That iteration was set to star Adam Brody as the Flash, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman and then-newcomer Armie Hammer as Batman. Back in January 2008, the studio cited a lack of tax breaks as the main reason it pulled the plug on the project, which also needed a rewrite that wasn't possible because of the writers' strike.
