Adam Brody Confirmed as The Flash in 'Justice League of America'

Hey, guess what? Another Justice League cast member has been unofficially announced! The Los Angeles Times reports that Adam Brody has signed on to play The Flash, and though he's been rumored as having snagged the role for awhile, the LA Times claims he has closed negotiations and the deal is done. Why hasn't it hit the trades yet? Why isn't Warner Bros. saying anything? Well, according to the Times, Warners won't release the cast because the film hasn't received a green light yet. I'm speculating here, but if it hasn't gotten that green light, then that most likely means something is wrong with the script. Maybe not wrong, but the script needs more work before the project can move forward. And since the writers are still out on strike, that script work won't happen until a deal is reached.
The Times also lists a bunch more names, but those are clearly coming from other sites that broke all this casting news weeks ago. They also claim Megan Gale beat out Jessica Biel for Wonder Woman, however, we all thought Biel opted out of the role herself. Other names mentioned in the article include Scott Porter as Superman, Teresa Palmer as Talia al Ghul and Common as Green Lantern. There's no mention of Armie Hammer as Batman (hey, at least it's better than getting someone from MTV's The Hills), which IESB confirmed was official sometime last week. Brody is best known for his role on The O.C.

When you link an actor please link to imdb, the aol/moviephone pages are the absolutely useless.

Yes, please no more AOL links. They're terrible. IMDB is so much better. I know you guys are probably owned by them, but if your readers abandon you for linking to useless sites, what'd be the point of even existing?

This movie is looking more and more like a TV movie every time I see news on it. Could this be DC's "Waterworld"? I think so.

I agree. This is sounding like the nadir of superhero movies. Poor, poor DC - what have they done wrong?
