The LA Times has a profile piece on Warners President Jeff Robinov and mentions that he may be planning a JLA movie. It describes how WB are planning to move from the Harry Potter series to a new series of DC based tent-pole movies. This starts with Green Lantern, but…

He’s then aiming to release new “Batman” and “Superman” films in 2012 and “Justice League,” a teaming of DC’s top heroes, in 2013.

We’ve heard this before. It was Robinov who back in 2007 announced that WB were going to make a JLA movie based on a script by Kieran and Michele Mulroney. At the time he described JLA as:

The Justice League of America has been a perennial favorite for generations of fans, and we believe their appeal to film audiences will be as strong and diverse as the characters themselves.

That attempt became a victim of an industrial dispute and DC Comics reorganisation into DC Entertainment. One assumes that the LA Times reference was checked with WB and wasn’t just a random reference to the last attempt.

UPDATED: LA Times writer Ben Fritz blogged more details about his chat with Robinov including the detail that it’s a new script they are looking at:

But Robinov said a new Justice League script is in the works. Also being written for Warner are scripts featuring the Flash and Wonder Woman, who could be spun off into their own movies after Justice League.

So they are looking to do a new film and it’s pencilled in for 2013, but they are still at the script stage. The Mulroney script was fast tracked in a spectacularly short time, but we’ll have to wait for more details on who the new screen writers are.
