Warner Bros. had plans for a Justice League movie years in the past, but it all went downhill. Like the canned Superman movie that had Nicholas Cage as the lead, this Justice League film is also getting a documentary.
The movie was supposed to be called, Justice League: Mortals, and well-known film director, George Miller, was the man behind the project. Unfortunately, everything fell apart, which was probably a good thing.
We say this because it appears as if Warner Bros. was hoping to quickly create a Justice League movie before Marvel's Avengers came to theaters. We suspect Warner Bros. got wind of Marvel's plan and was hoping to be the first to make history.
As for the documentary, Australian director Ryan Unicomb is working hard to get it off the ground. He's planning a feature-length film, but before he can accomplish this, Unicomb requires cash and the blessings from George Miller and producer, Doug Mitchell.
The working title of the documentary is Miller's Justice League: Mortal. It hopes to bring to life in the eyes of the public for the first time, concept arts and costumes that were supposed to be used. Unicomb also hopes to gain information regarding the script and other important aspects of what could have been.
Unicomb stated that if he doesn't get funding via the traditional route, then he might have to take the project to the crowdfunding arena.
We hope to see this documentary become a reality because it could shed light on many things.
We've come to understand that Warner was hoping to create its own movie universe with Green Lantern as the catalyst. However, when that film failed, and Marvel began to take control of the superhero movie genre, Warner Bros. appeared to have lost hope.
Things kicked off again with Man of Steel, but ratings have been mixed though luckily, the film performed well at the box office. This alone is probably the only reason why the DC Cinematic Universe is alive. Should Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice fail, then we could be up for another documentary of failed DC films in the next ten years.
