Fans will be sorry to hear that the long-awaited JLA movie is not going to happen, according to Variety. Budget, timing and the writer’s strike all had a hand in the demise of the Justice League.

Warner Bros. let the options lapse on the cast that director George Miller chose to play the DC superheros. The studio had set Tuesday as its greenlight deadline for the pic, but confirmed Wednesday that the project is on indefinite hold.

We probably will not see it get underway until late summer or fall, but that seems overly optimistic.

A few of the studio’s reasons for forestalling the project are: They were unable to get the official response required on tax breaks for shooting in Australia. Another problem was the script. WB execs like it, but think it would benefit from a little more work, something that isn’t possible because of the current writers’ strike.

A major problem down the road: The studio risks losing the cast to other film jobs, despite the starmaking potential of “Justice League.”

One day we may see this film. But it’s not looking good today. Where’s the justice I ask you?

Looks like they’ve finally found their woman for the upcoming Justice League Of America movie. For awhile it was rumored that they were looking at Jessica Biel and Sophia Bush. In the end an unknown won the role.

An Australian model named Megan Gale. She stands at 5′10″ and absolutely looks the part. Can she act? I don’t know, but looking at that picture, I can’t wait to watch her try.
