Entertainment Weekly's current issue includes a short article suggesting that the "mother of all superhero movies is in development" at Warner Bros. featuring the Justice League of America. According to the article, titled "Comic Booked", in issue 888 (July 28, 2006) currently on newsstands:
EW has learned that Warner Bros. is developing what could be the greatest spandex story ever told. The concept doesn't only involve the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight, but their cohorts in the Justice League of America, too. The animated movie -- part of a larger superhero-related Warner media initiative -- is likely to be based upon a famous comic saga. One possibility: an adaptation of "Identity Crisis", a 2004 murder-mystery smash written by novelist Brad Meltzer that could be used to launch the likes of Green Arrow and The Flash into their own films, 'toon or otherwise.
EDIT:
I got confirmation. A JL movie is in the works. From what he's been hearing, it'll take place after Starcrossed, but befor JLU.
Hmm. A prequel to JLU. Its that project Timm and co. was trying to do for a while but was put on hold. From JL to JLU, something in me wants it to be like 52 where that built it from Infinite Crisis to One Year Later.
I wonder if it is.
EDIT2:
From The Kingdom:
Today during a Bruce Timm retrospective at San Diego Comic Convention, Timm found himself in an awkward position - he was doing a look back on a career that isn't yet over. Throughout the presentation (which we'll have more coverage on shortly), he kept referencing a project that he was working on that he just couldn't say much about. Towards the end of the presentation, after being asked if he would do any more DCU work, he hemmed and hawed at length about it, being very non-commital. While he was doing this, a very familiar bloody Superman symbol came up on the giant screens to his right and left. That's right - it looks like Bruce Timm, the man responsible for the DCAU, is now working on an animated version of the Death of Superman story arc. No further word as of yet on if it will cover the Reign of the Superman, or if it will find release on television of DVD.
So........could it be a Death of Superman film instead?
