Variety reports Castle vet Will Beall is penning the new JLA script for the studio, who has previously hired him for Gangster Squad, the Logan's Run remake and the Lethal Weapon reboot. Beall, a former LAPD officer, hasn't turned in his JLA script yet.The trade claims, though, that JLA isn't in reaction to Avengers as the studio had begun reinvigorating the project in anticipation of the Marvel epic's release.You will recall that Justice League almost went before cameras a few years ago with George Miller directing and then-unknown Armie Hammer as Batman, Common as Green Lantern, D.J. Cotrona as Superman and Adam Brody as Flash.
