Justice League Script Too Complex for General Audiences?

If rumors aboutBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceare true, fans will get their first look at a newly formed superhero ensemble at the end of this adventure, beforeJustice League(June 02, 2025) andJustice League Part 2(August 05, 2025) debut. While fans still have nearly three years to wait for the firstJustice Leaguemovie, a new rumor has surfaced fromTech Timesclaiming that a script has already been turned in. Although, it does have some problems. Mainly that it is far ‘too long and complicated’ for the average moviegoer to comprehend. While comic book fans shouldn’t have any issues following the story, its explained that “fans are the minority here.” According to this report, the screenplay will need to be ‘simplified’. This rumor also says that Vril Dox, the original identity of Brainiac in the New 52 comics, is the villain.

In the original comics, Vril Dox was a descendant of the original Brainiac, but he was changed to the alien who first becomes Brainiac in the New 52 reboot comics. The movie is reportedly going by the nameJustice League: Brainiac’s Saga, withJustice League Part 1marking the first time Brainiac has ever been seen on the big screen. While this has not been confirmed by Warner Bros. orDC Comics, this report does fall in line with anOctober storythat claimedJustice LeaguewriterChris Terrio(Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,Argo) is using Brainiac as the mainJustice Leaguevillain, whose presence will be set up at the end ofBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. That report also revealed that another important villain, Darkseid, is, “being saved for later.”

It isn’t known at this time ifChris Terriois working on another draft of theJustice Leaguescript, of if Warner Bros. is seeking a new writer to take over the project. Of course, even if Brainiac/Vril Dox is theJustice Leaguevillain, it isn’t clear yet how he will fit into the story line. Are you glad that Brainiac may be the main nemesis in the two-partJustice Leaguemovie? Do you think it should be calledJustice League: Brainiac Saga? Chime in with your thoughts below.
