While Warner studios sweats over a possible WGA walkout, casting buzz continues to dominate online film news sites. Movieblog.UGO.com reports that Transformers star Tyrese Gibson is "in the running to play the part of Green Lantern John Stewart" in JLA, but adds that he is merely one of several contenders for the role.

Meanwhile, a source for JusticeLeague-on-Film.com claims that Warners and director George Miller "are having a hard time casting Batman. ... Actors that are considered a 'name' don't want to step on their [Chris Nolan, Christian Bale] toes. That's a big problem for Miller and Warners because you have a character [Batman] with its own franchise and it's successful -- and everyone loves what Bale is doing as Batman. I mean, Bale IS Batman. Do you think someone like a Jake Gyllenhaal wants to try to compete with Bale?"
