George Miller directing ‘Justice League’ movie?
Latino Review is reporting that George Miller, director of Happy Feet and Mad Max, is currently the frontrunner for the Justice League helmer position.

El Mayimbe also scooped everyone on the news that Heath Ledger would play the Joker in The Dark Knight. El Mayimbe could have another feather in his cap if this rumor proves true.
