Ugh, please no, bad idea. Wachowskis are gonna turn JL into a cyber-trash cgi circle jerk. I guess that's just my opinion but really come on, their movies have terrible style. People are saying Cloud Atlas is going to be great but seriously looking at those photos of Tom Hanks with the manicured facial hair and then hearing someone say they have the right experience to pull off Justice League visually is pretty fucking confusing to me. Same thing goes with The Matrix. It is a really good story science fiction wise (much of it heavily lifted from Baudrillard) but visually its completely cliche, gloomy future always raining shots, green 0s and 1s etc. I will admit they can direct fight scenes pretty well but really I just don't want a JL movie where the villian is like some cgi ghost with a trench coat and telephone cords coming out of his hair or whatever. Also one last thing is that i watched Side by Side the other night and The Wachowskis portion of it was horrible, they were talking about how digital space is going to grow and will be a better experience than going to a theater because they think people will have more discussions online or something like that, and then they spliced in some footage from Second Life or Sims (I'm not sure exactly, computer game) of avatars walking in to a movie theater. Just something to think about if you care about stuff like that

The Wachowskis might be good picks for a JLA movie if you want the League to be dressed in gimp masks and S&M bondage gear… there goes the PG-13 rating! It's not going to happen anyway, Larry and Andy are prepping 'Jupiter Ascending' currently, and it better be a big success upon release, because I predict 'Cloud Atlas' will not be, and the brothers' badly need a hit or they're finished as big-budget filmmakers, period.

@Drew – Shane Carruth jumping from a $7,000 budget for Primer to a likely $200 million or so budget for Justice League would be one of the most awesome leaps up the ladder ever for a director. As long as Carruth makes another damn movie, I'm happy. Ducan Jones might also be a good pick. He's shown he can handle mid budget action as well as intimate character based stuff.

I'd like to see the Wachowskis do it. Whedon is a great dialogue guy, but I would like to see some of these properties tackled by people with a real flair for the visual/stylistic end of things, which the Wachowskis certainly do. I mean they completely redefined FX/action movies for awhile back in the day, and it would be great to see them take crack at something like that again.

Seems unlikely. While Cloud Atlas re-legitimizing the pair could lead to such offers, I'd sooner expect them to use that leverage in making Jupiter not only happen, but happen over the course of three films.

I was hoping "Man of Steel" would be its own universe like the Batman movies
If it has to happen I say David Yates or Duncan Jones

this would be great. Speed Racer is an absurdly under appreciated film and Cloud Atlas looks monumental

Give it to Fleisher. Then the Wachowski's can do Jupiter Ascending and Cuaron can do a personal project he's invested in and Fleisher's name won't come up for a flick that a Refn, Cuaron, etc would be more suited to direct. (Although I would like a Refn helmed Wonder Woman, since that IS something he's passionate about).

Wachowskis should do Jupiter instead. They're better than this.

They could go for Joss Whedon? Okay, how many things are absurd about that statement? I mean, don't you think Whedon's contract to basically run Marvel's movie universe for the forseeable just MIGHT preclude him making an Avengers imitation for Marvel's biggest rival since 1939?
