Director George "Mad Max" Miller has signed with Warners to helm a big screen, live-action "Justice League" motion picture, tent-poled for a 2009 release.

Screenplay is by Kiernan and Michele Mulroney of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" fame.

Since its DC Comics debut in 1960, the 'JLA' core membership of crime-fighting superheroes remains "Superman", "Batman", "Wonder Woman", "Aquaman", "Flash", "Green Lantern" and "Martian Manhunter".

"The Justice League of America has been a perennial favorite for generations of fans, and we believe their appeal to film audiences will be as strong and diverse as the characters themselves," said Warners Jeff Robinov.

A new crew of actors will be hired to portray the characters, similar to the practice of hiring different artists, with different takes, to illustrate established comic book titles.

The 'JLA' have appeared in several cartoon TV series, including "Super Friends" and the current Cartoon Network series "Justice League Unlimited" from Warner Bros. Animation.
