Jessica Biel as Wonder Woman, according to Variety. Lynda Carter still looks good...

True but who's ever in charge of the movie will say no way.

Did she do so for the JLA movie? I thought she had been offered the role for the solo WW movie, by Joss Whedon.
I also heard that Tom Welling (Clark in Smallville) has been offered the Superman role, and is thinking about it.

If this movie matches all the script summarises we've seen so far, DC have managed to butcher their biggest franchise on screen.
Which, considering the sheer number of awesome JLA comics and the fantastic animated series'... is quite hard.

I really hope this project succeeds, in a way it would be a good omen for an Avengers movie too. Team movies are probably the hardest to make, due to the necessity to give everyone enough screen time.
For example, I liked the 3 X movies, especially the second, but Cyclops was way underused and even Storm didn't do much.

Comic compianes have to get more involved with the projects, They just can't let the movie compaines take over the whole pro ject.

I'm not certain of that...
When I was on holiday a few weeks ago, I actually went to be the translator for a comic exhibition in Italy, and one of the conferences was (among other things) about comics and movies. The guy there, who was the creator of Diabolik if anyone knows him, complained on how the cinema people are only interested in making money, don't care for the "heart" of the characters etc.
However, his solution was to have a comic writer write the script, basically turning the movie into 1 big issue, which doesn't sound much better since cinema is a different medium from comics, and needs a certain amount of adaptation. Image how the Spider-Man movie would have been if they only converted issues, say, 1-5, or the first annual. Nice stories, but unlikely to work on the screen IMO.

I have been reading a lot of spoilers and script things and while so much about this is being mishandled, two words made me explode in joy.
Barry.
Allen.
YEEEEAAAAAH!

If they'd made this movie ten years ago, I would have said get Lucy Lawless (Xena) for WW. At least we'd have a woman who would be physically convincing as an Amazon princess!

Yes, she would have been good. I could also have seen a young Marina Sirtis in the role, although she doesn't have the height (but there are ways around that on film).

I don't know about this girl reportedly being cast as Wonder Woman. Heidi: The Teen Years maybe... but not Wonder Woman. I am underwhelmed by this choice. But if they're aiming for a teen crowd the movie's not for me anyway.

What an unusual choice... But let's wait to see her in costume or in the trailer, other times we have been pleasently surprised by actors that didn't look good for the role.

From reports, they're all being cast very young. Except the Flash. Who is Barry Allen. Which does not bode well.

For those of you who read DC, when did John Stewart become Green Lantern and how long was he in the comics? I'm not a big follower of the JL but I've only seen Hal Jordan and that young kid as the Lantern. Being black, he seems to be the prime candidate for GL for the movies to add some ethnic variety to the group.

I'm starting to get the idea this movie will drop into the Fantastic Four bucket -- so close to excellent, but yet not quite even very good. Sure I"m going to watch it. It's a pretty bold move for the movie studios to try something like this.

There already was a Justice League movie. In 1997 someone thought a JL tv movie would be a great idea. It wasn't...

I'm not a big follower of the JL but I've only seen Hal Jordan and that young kid as the Lantern. Being black, he seems to be the prime candidate for GL for the movies to add some ethnic variety to the group. Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner are indeed the two most definitive Earth Green Lanterns, but there are also Guy Gardner and John Stewart. I don't know exactly when John first became GL, but he has been so in the comics for a while, and all four are still currently active- in fact, John Stewart is the GL currently serving in the League in McDuffie's run, replacing Hal. Indeed, ethnic diversity is a big reason he's a likely candidate- another is that he was GL in the JL cartoon and thus has already reached a wide audience. That seems a pretty apt summary. A kind-of-bad-movie brimming with potential and good ideas not executed well which seems to be somehow simultaneously teetering on the brink of both great and awful. On the other hand, if the script summaries are accurate- as they seem to be- then it seems it may lack the FUN factor of FF, which would be a big knock. Still, I've far from given up hope- this movie could and should rule, because it's the freaking Justice League! (On a side note, I wish it were called 'JLA'. Yes, usually I'm against things which glorify America above the rest of the world, but in this case it's tradition!)

Put Nicole Kidman in a black curly wig -- she's tall... She could "age up" the cast a little.

Tom Welling was denied, but from all reports the auditions were skewed towards young actors. I hear Tyrese Gibson as GL, but I don't know how accurate that is.

I wonder how much Warner Brothers is spending on the JLA movie.
