The rumor making the rounds for weeks was that Warner Bros. would be making an official announcement of the cast for Justice League this past weekend. As has been the case with most of the rumors that have been associated with the film, this proved to be false as well.
Last week it was supposedly confirmed -- though not through the studio -- that Adam Brody has been cast as one of the characters called The Flash (supposedly the Barry Allen version of the character is killed, only to be replaced by Wally West as the speedster), the rapper Common is the John Stewart version of Green Lantern and actress Teresa Palmer as Talia al Ghul, the daughter of Batman enemy Ra's al Ghul. If the latter character is indeed part of the film, it will confirm the rumor that at least part of the plotline will deal with Talia seeking vengeance against Batman for the death of her father as revealed in Batman Begins, thus creating continuity between the two films. 
The most substantial Justice League news to come out was the interview www.comicscontinuum.com conducted with Friday Night Lights actor Scott Porter, who had been rumored to be cast as Superman as far back as mid-October, though in the past few days other sites have made it sound like this is news that has just broken. In that interview, Porter revealed, "When I tested, I tested for the role of The Flash, which I lost to Adam Brody. At this point, Superman is purely rumor and speculation as far as I'm concerned, although I do want to buy a Superman shirt today and wear it to mess with people." Of the audition process itself, he added, "There were about 32 of us, and [George Miller] just said, 'We're having a test.' I don't know if he had a specific role until we got there. None of us knew the specific role until we got there. The Flash was written next to my name when I was there, so that's what I was under the assumption I was auditioning for, although they did say that it was kind of a blanket test. There was one scene and everybody did the same scene, so we could have been auditioning for any role." To read the rest of this interview, please click HERE.
