I mean, I guess they're both badass super-powerful bald aliens, but I would think that similarity would be a good reason to not do J'onn like that.

Next thing they'll be reporting is that Crisis on Infinite Earths will be the backdrop for this JLA film. And Stephen, I second your sentiments on Dini & Timm. I can watch Justice League & JLU on a continuous loop and never grow tired, absolutely fantastic stuff there. IESB is getting out of hand.

Considering an all CGI JLA film could be made of high quality and relatively cheap, and knowing American audiences are familiar with Superfriends, Smallville, and the like, I think you could have a super big box office opening of at least $75 million the first weekend. Following the standard 8 week in theater release at a 20% drop per week would give an all CGI JLA film (or at least my vision of it) puts a total box office haul somewhere around $250 million, which is more than Superman Returns. If the box office drop were 40% per week, that still puts it in the $150 million range, and I know you could do the whole movie for less than $75, which means you double the money, and if the story is good, you have all the merch and DVD sales to boost you even higher.

I agree that it would probably be great, but I have a hard time seeing WB taking that chance on a vehicle that is supposed to searve as a launch pad for so many other movies. They got to be REAL careful wih this one. I agree with the rumor is a rumor thing, but I still wonder if an all CGI JLA movie will do well in the American market.
