I read a thing today saying to avoid filling JLA up with too much fluff they're considering not showing Batman as Bruce Wayne at any point, and this would have a by-product of not needing to worry about the new Batman not being similar to Bale. That puts a new slant on the potential casting for the role and the extent to which mo-cap will be used. Especially when you read this:

US, August 30, 2007 - Rumors about the live-action Justice League of America movie are inundating the Internet these days, and will likely only get more heated before the Warner Bros. film goes before cameras in early 2008.

IESB.net has been the first outlet to report most of these rumors, which they point out are just that: unsubstantiated rumors. First, they reported a few days ago that Smallville star Tom Welling was going to play Superman in JLA, but that was denied by the series' exec producer Al Gough in a statement to the SupermanHomepage.com.

IESB also clarified an earlier report that JLA would be an all motion-capture production; they now claim that it will be partially mo-cap, most likely for the alien villains in the film. Speaking of them, the site also says the villains will include white Martians, the OMACs, as well as Maxwell Lord and Talia Al Ghul of the Checkmate agency.

The Martian Manhunter is also said to be in the film, with IESB claiming that none other than the voice of the Silver Surfer himself, Laurence Fishburne, is being considered for the role. Other casting possibilities mentioned by the site include "Jake Gyllenhaal, Leo DiCaprio, Jessica Biel. Mel Gibson is liked for Max Lord. Scarlett Johanssen for Talia. Bruce Willis was mentioned for Lex [Luthor]." Earlier buzz suggested that Batman will never be seen as Bruce Wayne during the story, which is why it might be easier for Warners to recast the role with a new actor rather than pay Christian Bale to do it.

Gibson is an interesting rumored contender, given his past relationship with both Warners and rumored JLA director George Miller. IESB claims DiCaprio might be up for Aquaman. (Better not tell Vincent Chase that!) IESB has also posted what a scooper tells them is a (fairly detailed albeit complicated) plot synopsis for the film. Source: IGN Movies
