Hit Fix's Drew McWeeny mentions to Armie Hammer that he has seen the concept designs that Weta Workshop created a long time ago for George Miller's motion-capture
Justice League. It would've starred Hammer as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Adam Brody ("The O.C.") as the Barry Allen/The Flash, Common ("Hell on Wheels") as the John Stewart/Green Lantern, Hugh Keays-Byrne ("Mad Max: Fury Road") as The Martian Manhunter, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, and Santiago Cabrera ("Merlin") as Aquaman.
