The time has (probably) come. We now have what are (probably) the major plot points from the script for the upcoming Justice League movie. If you don’t want to have the surprise ruined, don’t take the jump, and feel sorry for me who had to report it regardless of my spoiler loathing.
The JLA is widely recognized as the premiere group of super heroes, and as the source suggests, show any kid images of Wonder Woman, Batman or Superman, and they’ll be able to identify them immediately. They’re finally coming to a big screen near you, and below are the plot points that Under Ground Online have managed to acquire.
[Copy and Pasted from Under Ground Online]
-- The characters of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and Martian Manhunter comprise the League. One name that I did not hear mentioned was that of Aquaman. Where’d the fish guy go? Good question.
-- Story elements from the screenplay have been adapted directly from DC’s JLA comic book series.
-- The man wearing the Green Lantern ring in the JLA film is John Stewart and not Hal Jordan (Earth’s first Green Lantern) or Kyle Rayner (who followed after Stewart’s run in the comic book continuity.) It should be noted that in the Justice League cartoon series John Stewart is the same character serving as Earth’s Green Lantern.
-- The Flash is the youngest member of the JLA. He has a crush on Wonder Woman.
-- Wonder Woman is portrayed as the member that acts as defacto humanitarian and face for the League. Our source told us that the best way to describe how she is written in the script is to “think of Angelina Jolie and her relations with foreign countries.”
-- Unbeknownst to the League Batman has a piece of technology that he developed called the “Redeye”, a cool piece of hardware that he can use to spy unbeknownst on the other League members. Want to know what the secret identity of Superman is? Not a problem. Want to find out what can cripple or kill each League member, their Achilles heel? It’s a snap with the Redeye. Batman files away the knowledge in case the day might ever come when he will need to use it to take down a member of the JLA that goes rogue or becomes a villain.
-- The Redeye is a fulcrum to the events that transpire in the movie. A villain—and I’m not at liberty to say which specific one or ones—will gain control of the Redeye. Instead of serving as a means of protecting the planet’s populace from the threat of a superhuman out of control, this creation of Batman’s will come back to haunt him, threaten the lives of the League and the safety of everyone on the entire planet.
-- During the course of the movie the day that Batman feared would come happens: a member of the League will, and we directly quote our source here, “go bad.”
So once again, alike the fake-spoilers that were spread across the internet a month or so ago, the story is looking very much like that of the recent Infinite Crisis storyline that crossed the entire DC comic-verse.
And, if I may say so, I was right on the money with my prediction of a) a Green Lantern and b) it being Jon Stewart!
As for The Flash having a crush on Wonder Woman, one must ask what Flash they are going with, and whether they’ve decided they like continuity or not. If it was Wally West – who is the most likely – then it would surprise me to have him be a) the youngest and b) have some schoolboy crush. It gets more confusing when you tie in Stewart as Green Lantern, as he has always been a character in the JLA at the same time as Wally West being a prominent member.
The “villain” that the source was not at liberty to name is – if the story is as close to the Infinite Crisis storyline as it looks – Maxwell Lord. But that’s is simply a theory.
My hypothesizing aside though, this is big news. The source also held back one spoiler that they deemed to be an “Empire Spoiler”, along the lines of revealing those fateful words uttered to Luke Skywalker by Darth Vader prior to the movie’s release.
The information came from a “deep cover source” who has read the JLA script, written by Michele and Kieran Mulroney.
One last disclaimer, I added probably at the top to cover my rear end. We’ve seen fake story lines leaked to the internet, and this very well could be another one of those. But the credibility seems good.
