I have my doubts in this film seriously.....the first one being that Bale and Routh were not going to reprise their roles making it a continuity nightmare for the fans especially since next year a Batman film is released with Bale and a Superman film starting Routh is slated for 09 as well. When I heard Beowulf styled CGI I was a little more at ease but in reality with the latest rumors that it'll be live action after all I think it'll have budget that will balloon horrifically, it'll never make that back in its opening weekend and be considered a bomb. George Miller may be good but if they are rushing, the casting, the storyline and overall tone of the film may suffer especially since this is the first time we'll see a live action Green Lantern, Flash, Wonder Woman, etc before their respective films......which may star different own people.
Not as much worried about no Bale or Routh, I pretty much figure the JLA movie is going to be seperate in terms of history and reality. I don't see Bale's batman character anywhere near a Robin at this point much less the JLA. I'd prefer they take their time let Dark Knight come out and do Singer's next Superman and work from there...but I don't run the movie houses.
Jessica Biel Passes on Justice League

Entertainment Weekly has learned that Jessica Biel has decided to pass on playing Wonder Woman in Warner Bros.' live-action Justice League. The former "7th Heaven" star had been in early talks to play the Amazonian princess.
George Miller (Happy Feet) will direct the big screen adaptation. Kieran and Michele Mulroney wrote the script.
I disagree. I think Wondy is castable but I think that Hollywood needs someone with European looks and feel. Biel is far from this character IMHO, she would have the muscular tone but definitely doesn't have the presence needed and was gone to specifically for a name to attach to the film. I would picture someone like Monica Bellucci as Wonder Woman although I'm sure she is much older than what they are gunning for.
Either way its not good for this film, this film actually getting done and launched on the timetable requires that they cast all the roles quickly...
I just saw that a couple of minutes ago myself. IMHO, wonder woman to me, is one of those uncastable roles. nobody I have ever seen has what it takes to flesh out that character. Biel is close, but so far away from what I imagine.
