The Justice League Hates Australia
Damn that nation of criminals! It turns out those Aussie ne’er-do-wells have denied a huge package of tax breaks to the upcoming Justice League movie, and a huffy Warner Bros. has decided to move to the colder/cheaper climates of Canada. While this might be a pain in the ass for the studio, JLA fans should consider themselves lucky?not only does this almost certainly mean current cheap-o director George Miller (whose last film was, I shit you not, Happy Feet) will be fired, and whatever budget Australian cast he was planning to hire will be nixed as well. Aaaannnd this might also mean a bit more time to re-write the widely criticized script which might not actually feature Batman and Superman.
In summary: All Australians are criminals. Good night, folks! Tip your waitresses!
