But the big screen future isn't looking so bright for the DC team-up.
First, Fox creative consultant Mark Millar revealed that he thinks the project is a colossal waste of time and money, and now it seems the script is being unceremoniously scrapped by Warner Bros.
Eek.
The Kick-Ass writer told SciFi Now: "The characters were created 75 years ago, even the newest major character was created 68 years ago, so they're in a really weird time.
Singling out Green Lantern, he added: "His power is that he manifests green plasma from his imagination and uses them as weapons against someone?
"Even that in itself if you just imagine then watching a fight scene with a guy who's like a hundred feet away making plasma manifestations fight someone - it's not exactly raucous, getting up close and personal."
And he didn't stop there. The Flash and Aquaman also felt Millar's wrath: "You can get away with stuff in comics that in live action's just a bit sucky – the best one is definitely Aquaman. Aquaman can't even talk under water," he said.
"If you think about it in comics it's fine, you just have a speech balloon, but how do you have Atlantis and people talking under water? Are they gonna talking telepathically? Is it going to be body forms?
"The actual logistics of each member of the Justice League is disastrous, and you put them all together and I think you get an excellent way of losing $200 million."
We wonder if those were the problems Will Beall found while penning his script - a script which has apparently been ripped to shreds by Warner Bros, as sources say it's "terrible".
Badass Digest reports: "I’ve now heard from multiple sources that the Will Beall script for Justice League has been scrapped. The story from each source is the same: it’s terrible.
"Some sources seem to think the whole movie is going to fall apart and never happen, while some believe that Warner Bros will keep moving forward, unwilling to lose the superhero arms race.
"Beall’s script supposedly includes Darkseid and a heavy cosmic threat. But the script has been half-baked from the beginning, with reports saying that heroes (beyond the core five of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern) have been cut and added from the proceedings seemingly at studio executive will."
Eek again, eh?
WB had better sort themselves out if they're going to get the film finished in time for a 2015 release.
