History Script / JusticeLeagueMortal

* ControlFreak: This story takes a lot of inspiration from the ''[[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmericaTowerOfBabel Tower of Babel]]'' storyline and therefore would have shown Batman at his worst in this aspect. He created Brother Eye to take out any meta-human at any time because he's afraid of them snapping and taking over the world.

* WhatTheHellHero: As is common for ''[[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmericaTowerOfBabel Tower of Babel]]'' adaptations, the other heroes are quite outraged at Batman not trusting them and designing counter-measures to fight them. It doesn't help he's not apologetic about it, he's only sorry it fell into enemy hands. Wonder Woman actually ends up punching him mid-explanation.

''Justice League: Mortal'' is a cancelled film that would have been the film introduction of the classic Creator/DCComics [[ComicBook/JusticeLeague team of the same name]] and was set to be directed by Aussie director Creator/GeorgeMiller and release in 2009. The story was loosely based off the comic book storylines ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmericaTowerOfBabel'', ''OMAC Project'', and ''Superman: Sacrifice''.

The script was leaked online in August 2013, and a ''[[Film/JusticeLeague2017 Justice League]]'' film would eventually be released in November 2017, followed by [[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague a director's cut]] in 2021.

* BuffySpeak: At one point, Barry tells Diana to use her "rope-thingy", he means her lasso.

* SuperheroesStaySingle: Most of the cast iconic {{Love Interest}}s are missing or just alluded to existing. Batman's [[ReallyGetsAround many love affairs]] are mentioned (with his romance with Talia being an important part of the film), but his hero life keeps him from being truly committed. This is only {{Averted|Trope}} with the Flash, as Barry and Iris are HappilyMarried and her being a major supporting character.

* ThouShaltNotKill: All of the heroes are opposed to take a human's life, even that of a villain. Maxwell openly taunts Wonder Woman about his, saying all she needs to do to free Superman of his mind control is kill him, but she adamantly refuses to do. Batman on the other hand, is perfectly willing to snap his neck, much to ther horror of the other heroes. This is an ironic role reversal to the comics Batman is usually the one most opposed to killing, while Wonder Woman is the most willing.

''Justice League: Mortal'' is a cancelled film that would have been the film introduction of the classic Creator/DCComics [[ComicBook/JusticeLeague team of the same name]] and was set to be directed by Aussie director Creator/GeorgeMiller and release in 2009. The film got so far into production that entire cast and crew was in UsefulNotes/{{Sydney}}, UsefulNotes/{{Australia}} preparing to start filming in January 2008 in anticipation of a February start. A series of DisasterDominoes ensued that caused Creator/WarnerBros to cancel the project not too long thereafter.

WB hired married couple Kieran and Michele Mulroney to write the script but they weren't able to finish it before the writers' strike that occurred from November 2007 to February 2008 so WB decided to put the film on hold in January. The script just needed some minor work so they had hoped to film in April. The financial incentives package that the Australian government had given the project to film there fell through at the last minute so WB had to hastily find a new studio to film it in. They had settled on UsefulNotes/{{Vancouver}}, UsefulNotes/{{Canada}} but Miller insisted on trying to come to a compromise with the Australian government, further delaying the project. At that point, WB decided that filming would be pushed back until at least July. WB also had to let the entire cast out of their contracts and would have had to go through the process of re-casting everyone. Later in 2008, the global economic crash happened and ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' became an unexpected billion-dollar smash, further throwing the project's future into chaos. The former put the financing of the film's $220 million dollar price tag into question and after the latter's success, WB decided that they didn't want two concurrent film versions of Franchise/{{Batman}}. By the Fall, WB had officially cancelled the project, deciding to focus on developing new solo movies while also allowing Creator/ChristopherNolan to finish the ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'' on his own terms.

The Justice League would have consisted of Creator/DJCotrona as Franchise/{{Superman}}/Clark Kent, Creator/ArmieHammer as Franchise/{{Batman}}/Bruce Wayne, Megan Gale as Franchise/WonderWoman/Diana of Themyscira, rapper/actor Common as the John Stewart version of Franchise/GreenLantern, and Creator/AdamBrody as the Barry Allen version of Franchise/TheFlash. There would have also been versions of ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} and ComicBook/MartianManhunter introduced to join the team in the sequel(s). The villains were going to be Maxwell Lord played by Creator/JayBaruchel and Creator/TeresaPalmer as Talia al Ghul. Most of the supporting cast hadn't been announced but it's known that Creator/ZoeKazan was going to play the Flash's wife, Iris, and the late Creator/AntonYelchin had been cast as their nephew, Wally West.

* BigBadEnsemble: Maxwell and Talia are co-villains.

* ControlFreak: This story takes a lot of inspiration from the ''Tower of Babel'' storyline and therefore would have shown Batman at his worst in this aspect. He created Brother Eye to take out any meta-human at any time because he's afraid of them snapping and taking over the world.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: This version of Maxwell was a fast-food executive who was putting nanobots in the food to get people addicted.
* DatingCatwoman: The Batman/Talia romance was a big aspect of the story. In the backstory, she teamed up with Batman to take her dad, Ra's, down out of love for him. He broke up with her later.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Talia dies in Batman's arms while they both apologize for not being the person the other one needed.
* HeroicSacrifice: Barry sacrifices himself for the good of the world in the climax.

* MetaCasting: Armie Hammer would have been the first actor who came from an incredibly wealthy family to play Batman.
* PowerPerversionPotential: At one point, Barry uses his vibration powers to quite literally pass through Iris while they are having sex.

* {{Revenge}}: Maxwell is out to get the JL because no one saved him from the freak accident that gave him his mind control powers.
* SuperheroMovieVillainsDie: Batman kills Maxwell by snapping his neck and Talia dies as well but it's in a way that's pretty confusing.
* SuperheroesStaySingle: Averted with the Flash. As Barry and Iris are HappilyMarried but this is played straight with everyone else.
