Today's Variety confirms yesterday's report from AIC: The 'Justice League' feature film is on track for a 2009 release.
Screenwriters Kieran and Michele Mulroney are hard at work rewriting the script with a deadline to deliver it to Warner Bros in the next few weeks.
The article makes no mention of the rumor that the Batman and Superman characters are being removed from the storyline to prevent conflict with their solo franchises. In listing the cast members, Variety still reports that Armie Hammer Jr. had been cast as the Dark Knight.
Studio sees the film as a critical tentpole for 2009, as well as a launch-pad for other superhero movies.
