SPOILER ALERT: Although there was a "scare" regarding the plotline of Justice League when 14 pages of the film's screenplay was supposedly leaked, which gave the impression of being nothing more than an episode of Super Friends on steroids. Thankfully those pages were eventually dismissed as a hoax, and, based on what are reported to be legitimate pages, it does seem that the storyline is indeed taken to a large degree from the comics. As infamous_emijayne explains it, a funeral at the beginning of the film is for Barry Allen (The Flash). "Wally West takes over as Flash upon his death," the poster offers. "The plot honestly follows very closely to the OMAC storyline with some extras thrown in. Those would be Ra's Al Ghul (which I think turns out to be Martian Manhunter) and his daughter Talia. She will end up being the lead villain and 'puppet master so to speak, as she seeks revenge against Batman for killing her father. Superman falls under the control of Maxwell Lord and turns on the team believing them to be past enemies. The one major change I've been told of is that Superman will try to kill Wonder Woman and Batman will figure out what is going on and commit murder to release Superman's mind and save WW. In the comic, it is Batman about to die and WW breaks Maxwell's neck to snap Superman out of the mind control. There will be some MAJOR battles between Superman and the other members, especially WW."
Earlier today, www.aint-it-cool-news.com reported some major spoilers from someone who had apparently read the screenplay. Among the facts revealed: No Lois Lane or Lex Luthor in the film; Superman has a "huge" role in the film, as well as a major battle with Wonder Woman and Batman; Aquaman has a small role; and scenes involving Barry Allen's The Flash and Wally West are heavily featured in the film and are considered the highlight of the film, in addition to the Superman/Wonder Woman/Batman fight sequences.
