Apparently, the first fourteen pages of the JLA movie script have been leaked. And they don't focus on introducing the characters; they focus on introducing the situation: the background of the plot and the plot. The author for the Daily POP suggests that since this is a DC storyline that the character introductions aren't as important. Generally speaking, DC heroes are icons while Marvel heroes are complex 'people.' Spiderman is Marvel. He's flawed. Superman is DC. He's not. That's a generalization, but the daily pop recommends you look at the failed DC movies where they tried to do character exposition as rationalization for the generalization. So the movie starts out, according to this possible fourteen pages, with most of the heroes attending a funeral. And then it pans back in time and you're introduced to the OMACs and Max Lord and the Brother Eye. So it sounds great; I think people will enjoy this, as most of the DC Icons that are in the JLA are familiar to us.
