From Back Row Chatter via AICN:
Fairly mild spoilers, but it has the basic plot of the movie (taken from a somewhat recent JLA storyline). Also, see who (character wise) is in the cast.
The spoiler report wraps up with the author saying there is a big “Empire Strikes Back” moment that is a huge spoiler that he knows but doesn’t want to tell. Lets speculate on what that is.
JLA
[details=Spoiler]I know that you want to know. Make the jump and I promise to share the goodies with you but be warned that there be spoilers ahead!
Heres what Ive been told about the JLA movie:
– 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. Whered the fish guy go? Good question.
– Story elements from the screenplay have been adapted directly from DCs JLA comic book series.
– The man wearing the Green Lantern ring in the JLA film is John Stewart and not Hal Jordan (Earths first Green Lantern) or Kyle Rayner (who followed after Stewarts 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 Earths Green Lantern.
– The Flash is the youngest member of the JLA. He has a crush on Wonder Woman.
– 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? Its 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 villainand Im not at liberty to say which specific one or oneswill gain control of the Redeye. Instead of serving as a means of protecting the planets populace from the threat of a superhuman out of control, this creation of Batmans 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 Im not going to blow because I deem it an Empire spoiler. For those out there that dont get my reference, imagine its 1979, the internet exists and youre reading rumors about the new Star Wars sequel called The Empire Strikes Back. Theres some new guy called Lando, theres a big battle on a snow planet, Luke meets up with another Jedi and Darth Vader says something to Luke near the end of the picture. Sure, those are all spoilers but if I came out and said what Vader told Luke? Thats an Empire. Whats in the box that Brad Pitt holds in the final ten minutes of Seven is an Empire. Kevin Spaceys change of footwork at the end of The Usual Suspects is another Empire. Got it? Good. [/details]
