'Justice League' Director Exposed to Kryptonite

The doomed-from-the-start Justice League of America movie has either suffered another blow, or it's now free to start over. According to Dark Horizons, the superhero adaptation has parted ways with director George Miller.But appearing on a weekend chat show, Miller confirmed that he's off the project completely and he believes that if it ever gets going again, he expects it to be re-cast, which could mean no Adam Brody as the Flash and even more confusion about the identity of Wonder Woman.I say good riddance. Not so much to Miller or even any of the actors, really, but rather just the idea itself. Despite the success DC Comics had with The Dark Knight, it's still not in the driver's seat as it relates to comic book movies. Jumping the gun on a bunch of standalone heroes in favor of throwing them all together is a bad idea. Look at it this way: If DC and Warner Bros. didn't like the last Superman movie and they don't like any ideas they've seen for Wonder Woman and Flash is still off in the distance, what sense does it make to put them all together in one movie, especially with a Batman who's not really Batman? Bad idea.I hope that DC hires some really great writers and some directors that can bring some diversity to the genre and develops its individual heroes first. On that point, Marvel has it exactly right; you can't deliver The Avengers before we see all the pieces in play first.
