Will the upcoming Justice League movie go old school with a classic storyline as source material? Latino Review reports that Will Beall’s script is inspired by a 3-part Justice League of America story by Gerry Conway and George Perez in which heroes of Earth unite to stop Darkseid from having our world destroyed and replaced by Darkseid’s homeworld, Apokolips.
The story was published in Justice League of America #183-#185 in 1980. The storyline featured a JLA roster including Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern and Firestorm, Justice Society members like Doctor Fate and Power Girl. If producers introduce Darkseid – does this mean the on-screen introductions of other Jack Kirby Fourth World heroes like Mister Miracle and Big Barda?
No director has been named yet. The film is scheduled for 2015.
