Justice League Mortal is one of those comic book movies we'll never see that really could have been something truly special. Mad Max: Fury Road helmer George Miller was set to direct and an impressive cast was assembled which included Armie Hammer as Batman, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, Common as Green Lantern, and Adam Brody as the Flash. However, a combination of a writer's strike and poor planning led to the project being scrapped in 2007 and a live-action movie is now on the way.
During a recent interview to promote Cars 3, Hammer was asked about taking on the role of Bruce Wayne and revealed that the Batsuit would have looked more like an exoskeleton than a regular suit.
"Oh yeah, for sure. I put on the whole suit," he tells Screen Rant. "Weta made our suit. It was all functioning. It had like carbon fiber, and it had like pistons and gears that would function. It was amazing! It was like a exoskeleton suit." That does sound cool, but is a departure from the comics.
Would you guys have enjoyed seeing Hammer suit up as Batman in Justice League Mortal? It obviously won't happen now, but there is at least a slim chance we'll see the actor play Hal Jordan or Shazam!
