J.J. Abrams to reboot " Justice League"?

Unfortunately, We Got This Covered is a notoriously fictional clickbait site. They got no sources, no inside track, no knowledge, no facts, no nothin'. They literally just make shit up and watch the ad revenue roll in.

That's not to say Abrams won't reboot Justice League, or make some other DC film project. He very well might. But whatever he does or doesn't do, it won't be anything WGTC knew about a minute earlier than the rest of us.
 
Is it necessary to point out again that We Got This Covered pulls their "scoops" out of their ass?
 
I'm thinking at this point it's pretty much inevitable that he will eventually direct a superhero movie for someone. His whole style is pretty much a perfect fit for superhero movies, at this point Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt practically is a superhero.

Every once in a while I'll be surfing Google News and I'll see an entertainment headline that makes me sit up and go, "Oh, wow." Then I see it's WGTC again and "Oh, wow" becomes, "Oh, fuck me."
 
The online media has been hyping JJ for DC ever since he and Bad Robot left Paramount to be exclusive for WB. Since JJ has hopscotched from several franchises IPs in the last several years (Mission Impossible, Star Trek and Star Wars), and reports that JJ is not in the best place getting ROS just right for it's December release. My money is on JJ avoiding doing another big name IP for several years.

JJ passed on leading Star Wars, I doubt he'd want to helm the DCEU. Plus he doesn't do sequels (STID and ROS being exceptions).
 
DC/WB have a bit of a record of hiring people with a proven track record in the genre - they poached Singer from X-men to reboot Superman, MOS involved Goyer & Nolan from the Dark Knight series & Snyder from Watchmen, they replaced Snyder with Joss Whedon. They’ve began taking more chances of late with Wonder Woman, Shazam & Aquaman but it certainly would not surprise me if they ultimately did involve JJ in rebooting their cinematic universe. However, the linked story seems based on little more than I’ve my own guess on.

I think you might have the backwards. JJ has directed six movies, and over half of them have been sequels. The Force Awakens, Star Trek Into Darkness, The Rise of Skywalker, and Mission: Impossible III. (And I'm being generous here by leaving out Star Trek.) Super 8 is the only film he's ever directed that isn't a follow up to an existing work.

JJ made it a point to avoid making sequels to his own works. I should've clarified. With STID, he dragged his feet about it before agreeing to come back. Dialing up TWOK element even more that ST09 did. With Star Wars, he came back after Disney dropped 3 dump trucks worth of money at his door. Haha, jk, But after Colin Trevorrow was fired and Disney tried shopping the the role to other directors. JJ acquiesced once again to be the man.

If JJ wasn't such a remake/"greatest hits" of previous movies director; I could be more excited about him being attached to projects.

Super 8 was the best of that group in my opinion.

Yep, used to distract viewers from the dialogue. Wasn't it claimed somewhere that the flares were used to suggest business inside the ship? What, they can't hire people or even insert CGI models - just shove a lit bulb in front of the lens?

The lens flare would drain the battery too fast and you'd end up with a hollow shell of a desktop.
