Here's a bit of news that came out yesterday. We didn't get a chance to post it right away and I didn't see a thread in the forums. We've been waiting for some time to see Batman and Superman on the big screen and it's finally going to happen...sort of.
Variety reported that the two heroes will appear only it will be in Lego form.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs) will be directing Lego: The Piece of Resistance, a hybrid of live-action and Lego-based animation. The casting process is taking place and Chris Pratt (Parks and Recreation) will voice the lead character, Emmet, an "ordinary, law-abiding, Lego mini-figure who is mistaken for the most extraordinary MasterBuilder." Emmet gets pulled into a quest to stop an evil tyrant from "gluing the universe together."
Batman will be voiced by Will Arnett and Channing Tatum has been targeted to voice Superman but hasn't committed yet due to his busy schedule. A release date hasn't been announced but imdb has an 'untitled' Lego movie listed for a February 28, 2014 release date.
This may not be an official live-action Justice League movie and it's not clear how much of a role the two heroes will have but at least it's a start.
