Warner Bros.' Justice League Dark movie is reportedly facing rewrites.

This news comes by way of Variety film reporter Justin Kroll, who revealed on Twitter that, with Warner Bros. feeling "underwhelmed" by what was shown so far from directors, the script is now being reworked.

Justice League Dark, which currently does not have a release date, lost its director Doug Liman. It director Andy Muschietti was reportedly in the running to replace Liman. Speaking with IGN, Liman revealed he departed the project due to scheduling conflicts, as he's currently busy making Chaos Walking and hopes to soon start working on the sequel to Edge of Tomorrow.

Guillermo del Toro was originally set to direct Justice League Dark, which was initially titled Dark Universe. Scott Rudin joined the project as a producer in 2015, and Michael Gilio penned the current draft of the script. While story details are scarce, the movie will center around a team that includes John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna and Etrigan the Demon.

In related news, a The Joker origins story movie is now in development, alongside a Joker and Harley Quinn film starring Jared Leto and Margot Robbie.
