Michael John Petty is a Senior Author for Collider who writes mostly about Westerns but also loves superheroes and supernatural thrillers.
The Avengers have become something of the default superhero group nowadays, but back in the early 2000s, everyone knew that the Justice League was the real comic book power-house. Between the hit animated series Justice League and a solid monthly comic series , the League was not only front and center over at DC, but in the comic book world in general. It's no wonder then that Warner Bros.
In a day and age where so many superhero uniforms are given uninspired lines to break up primary colors, this Martian Manhunter uniform doesn't look so busy. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, the character's tried-and-true appearance — which had remained largely the same between his first appearance in Detective Comics #225 in 1955 and the mid-2000s era that Mortal was developed in — was only elevated by small features such as gold bracelets and more alien-looking brush strokes.
George Miller's 'Justice League: Mortal' Would've Been Wild But what was George Miller's Justice League: Mortal even about, you might ask? Well, it would have truly been something else. Not unlike how Zack Snyder's DC Extended Universe film pulled directly from a popular DC Comics story, so too did Miller's take on these heroes steal from some iconic stories of the day.
Unfortunately, Justice League: Mortal never happened. After the success of The Dark Knight and the WGA strike of 2007-08, Warner Bros. opted to continue with the Christopher Nolan-helmed franchise instead . The studio hoped to make movies about individual DC heroes, such as Green Lantern and Man of Steel, in order to build into an eventual team-up picture. We all know how that worked out.
