We will see the DC’s most popular and favorite team of superheroes come together this November. But, as die-hard fans know that the Justice League was coming as a live-action movie years before the DCEU was even thought of. The team-up of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and others was going to hit the theaters back in 2009. Justice League Mortal was well into development with Armie Hammer as The Dark Knight.
“Oh yeah, for sure. I put on the whole suit. Weta made our suit. It was all functioning” Hammer explained.
“It had like carbon fiber, and it had like pistons and gears that would function. It was amazing! It was like an exoskeleton suit.”
“There was a really great script. And Warners said, ‘Let’s do it. Let’s do a Justice League.’ I really was attracted to it. But there was a writer strike looming. We had to cast it very quickly, which we did with Warner’s casting people. And we cast it really quickly and we mounted it very quickly. And it depended on a start date and it depended on some basic rebate legislation that had just got through a new Australian government” Miller explained.
“But it was just too big a decision for them to make in the time. And that fell through and the whole film fell through. We almost got there. And it wasn’t to be. But that happens a lot, where films line up and the stars look like they’re aligning and they didn’t.”
