I would like to give major credit to Mr. Ryan Unicomb and his company Purryburry Productions for most of the concept art you are seeing in the video. This art and more will be featured in the upcoming documentary 'Seven Friends: Justice League Mortal,' which will take an even deeper dive into the story of this movie and how it all fell apart.
In 2007, Warner Bros, director George Miller, and producer Dan Lin tried to bring a Justice League movie to the big screen and despite everything going right for this movie, things seemed to fall apart at the 11th hour, leading the movie to be cancelled.
The movie was set to be the first Justice League movie- long before Zack Snyder, Joss Whedon, or the DECU. The team of heroes was similar to that of the Justice League cartoon from the early 2000s: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, and Aquaman. Actors were cast and everybody was essentially ready to go in front of cameras- this may be the closest a movie may have ever come to being shot without actually being shot. It's a roller coaster.
So today, we'll walk through the development, plot and cancellation of the original Justice League movie: 2007's Justice League Mortal.
Enjoy!

@@ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom Yeah, a lot of it was directly drawn from the comics and/or other media like the JL/JLU toon. The whole OMAC War and Max Lord thing happened in the comics, except they had Diana kill Max to stop it, not Bruce, and they spent years making Diana the outcast of the DCU for killing Max Lord... Which, as a Wonder Woman fan, was really annoying and stupid because it ignored all the powers Diana's lasso has, like the ability to break compulsions and mind control, the ability to give others commands, etc. All she had to do was lasso Superman and the whole fight would have been over. 🙄 And it's not like it would have been hard. He's stronger, she's faster. He rushes her, she takes a punch to tangle him in the lasso too, then commands him to stop and see the truth. Max Lord doesn't die, and is around for more slimy villain behavior later!

Honestly, I know that being moody is Batman’s identity. I would love to see a Batman film where he is a charismatic bachelor and businessman like in the cartoons. I feel they captured that portion of the character perfectly like in the BTAS series. He is this hot young charismatic billionaire by day and intelligent crime fighter in the underbelly of Gotham at night. Most of the time, he is portrayed as this older edgy billionaire who is constantly brooding. It would be fun to see this less moody Bruce Wayne during the day and seeing the more complex brooding persona at night.

I must commend you on a story well told. I’ve heard some of this before on podcasts, etc. But this is by far the best telling of this story. You never stop to judge the choices, like certain actors, you just told the story as it unfolded at that time, with fantastic B-roll I might add. With all those motion graphics, I can’t imagine how long this took to make. Very well done!

This was Super dope! I really enjoyed watching this. I remember reading that George Miller had DJ Cortana, his Superman, come a few days before everybody else, so they could look to him for all the good places to eat and the hot spots , kinda like a leader. He also had Armie Hammer come a week later than everybody else to make him feel like an outsider since he was Batman. A missed classic! Damn

If you knew the history of Warner Brothers and what they did with the Original Superman movie it's insane that any film maker could ever do anything with how the studio busts the movies around. Jack Nicolson was part of the force to get the Batman movie going and his pushing of the studio execs even offering money to Tim because he knew what was being made. One small part that to him proved it was gonna be big the posters of the bat symbol every time they went up at bus stops they were stolen.

This actually sounds like it would have worked out well. Instead of a botched rush to catch up to MCU, they could’ve gone the alternative route and introduced a fully working JL, like the movie was just “life in a day of”, which would’ve piqued enough interest to then go back and do a backstory on each character. Oh and good job. Like your vids. Hope your channel blows up.

@jimgilbert9984 Год назад

When I first heard about this project, I'd heard that the two writers didn't know the JL universe, and that they had to play a little catching up to get a feel or it. That sounded exactly like what happened with the first Star Trek movie: they hired a couple of guys who'd never seen the show, and they watched a bunch of ST episodes to catch up. And look what that got us - a revamping of an old ST episode ("The Changeling") about a mega-powerful probe trying to make its way back to Earth. And look, the JL writers did the same thing, just as I feared they would. They took the "Tower of Babel" story arc, warped and twisted it all over the place in order to include Maxwell Lord as the bad guy, and killed Barry, even though he was "dead"/merged with the Speed Force long before the telepathic Lord and Babel stories were in place in the books. So, unlike many others commenting here, I don't think that this would have been very good if they'd managed to shoot it (again, look at the ST debacle). They should have just hired experienced DC Comics writers to write the story, then had Hollywood scriptwriters familiar with science fiction convert the story into a script, and gone from there.

I read the script and thought it was great! I just don't know if it would've worked as a live-action movie 100%. It read more like an animated movie, specifically in the style of the 01-04 show, to me. I still envisioned the all the actor's likeness for each character, Arime Hammer included, I'm sorry to say, lol. I was glad that DJ Cortana and Adam Brody got another chance to play superheros in Shazam. Hopefully they might bring Common back in if they ever make the Green Lantern Corps movie.

@A203D 3 года назад

The problem with Bryan Singer and this is also what he did with X-Men; he just takes the characters and makes his own story. Theres decades worth of comic books to draw from, but he just takes the popular characters to do his own thing. I remember at the time they compared Superman Returns to Batman Begins, but Batman Begins was scripted from some of the best Batman stories, the obvious story being Batman Year One. Then The Dark Knight took direction straight from the pages of The Long Halloween, one of Batmans best stories. The problem with Superman Returns is that the writers ignored the source material.

@anothercleverusername992 3 года назад

@@A203D agreed. It's like they thought, "what if _Superman: The Movie_ but bad and boring..." All he knows of Lex Luthor is Gene Hackman and he even got that wrong. Comparing either of his superhero movies to _Batman Begins_ is ridiculous, haha. It's not that he just ignores the source material... It's that he seems to be afraid of it. Like HE, of all people, is embarrassed by it. "What if _X-Men_ but in all black leather and no "silly stuff"- plus we'll make fun of the Comic Book Costumes so everyone knows we're cool... I also don't want that silly stuff (i.e. anything interesting)in my _Superman_ movie!" Great.
