If you ever wanted to know what was in George Miller’s script for Justice League: Mortal, there’s a table read for that. Yes, really.
Justice League: Mortal. You know, that project fans were aching over the loss of even more once Miller hit one out of the park with Mad Max: Fury Road.

It’s really long, I haven’t sat through the whole thing yet but I’m astounded at its existence. Enjoy!
(hat tip to Harrison Grey from my own comments section for this one)
You can tell the writers strike hit before rewrites could be done. >_>
That… was kind of awesome. It had action and humor and color and hope! Maybe just add a scene halfway through where the heroes have a quick “I was in a lab accident, how did you get your powers? conversation for the non-nerds in the audience and it would have been a pretty darn good film!

I loved what they did with Flash and how they switched up Maxwell Lord’s death. And that knock-down, drag-out fight between Clark and Diana would have been so much more epic than Batman v Superman!
I love that Lord’s plan to deal with Wonder Woman was mind controlling Superman to do it, because even Batman doesn’t have a contingency for her.
That was awesome. As the other League members were being taken out I kept thinking “how’s he gonna attack Wonder Woman?” and that totally made sense. She and Flash were definitely the two stand-out characters. And the reference to the JLA’s Silver Age origin at the end was just epic!
When Flash started saying there was something on the monitor, I was immediately like, “OMG, is it Starro?!” And yeah, it was Starro. Just perfect.
I’m trying not to jump straight to “Better than Snyder”, but man, Jon and Wally.
Sweet.
