However, it appears WB is interested in making the film soon and did not want to wait for Liman to finish his other obligations before Justice League Dark begins moving forward.
The film recently announced it will begin shooting this year and keep Liman busy for the foreseeable future, which has now led to Liman leaving Justice League Dark.
Doug Liman exits his second comic book movie in as many attempts, leaving Justice League Dark without a director.
However, this appears to be an exit that was amicable between Liman and WB that will hopefully result in Justice League Dark coming to theaters sooner.
