News > Justice League Rumors/Spoilers

Written by David Morgan

This info comes to us from UGO, who in turn got it from an unnamed source. So take that for what it's worth. Now for the details according to this person who has supposedly read the screenplay. The following is entirely UGO's words [except when I write in brackets like these]:

– 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 [Hopefully they don't play this up too much.].

– 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.”

It should also be said at this point that there is at least one major twist in the story that I’m not going to blow because I deem it an Empire spoiler. [Referencing the big surprise at the end or Empire Strikes Back]

So if I may open this up to speculation, the hero who goes bad has to be either Superman or Martian Manhunter, right? Those are the only two that would really give the rest of the League any trouble as far as defeating them goes. Maybe GL? Certainly not the other three.
