Warner Bros. Brings on New Writer to "Polish" JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK Script

At one time Warner Bros. had Gerard Johnstone on their short list of directors for Justice League Dark, but now the studio has been tapped him to polish the script.

Variety reports that the studio was interested in Johnstone touching up the script based on his presentation on the project. The studio has been looking at directors over the past couple of months after Doug Liman left the project to focus on Lionsgate’s Chaos Walking. They haven't really liked anything that they have been pitched, though.  

Little is know about the plot of Justice League Dark, in the comic books the “Dark Universe” focuses on the supernatural superhero team of John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna, and Etrigan the Demon. The film will play a major role in the DC Cinematic Universe.

This could be a pretty interesting-type of superhero movie that we really have yet to see in any of the superhero genre films.

It was previously reported that Doctor Strange writer Jon Spaiths was working on the script for the film, but that rumor has since been debunked.
