Just because Marvel did it that way doesn't mean that studios have to follow the same format. Also Marvel said that they aren't doing anymore orgin films starting with Dr. Strange.

I'm liking the choice of Farrell as Constantine.

To me, my board!
Comedy Deadman 
Farell as Constantine is a pretty good pick.
And a black or Hispanic woman as Zatanna? I am down with that.
Well he tends to be more broadly comic in his personality when on teams or part of team-ups with other characters. Deadman only really gets as serious and somber as his backstory would suggest he'd be when in solo or feature comic stories.Comedy Deadman

I feel Farell would be a dope Constantine, but I'm still hoping this version makes a comeback on television...

He's more of a smartass then jokey jokey like Booster Gold plus dc won't go super light depending on the character.

Justice League Dark’ Eyeing Potential Cast and Directors
BY MATT GOLDBERG 7 HOURS AGO
While it’s a bit of a bummer that Guillermo del Toro decided against tacklingJustice League Dark, the studio is still incredibly excited for the project and are racing to put together directors and a cast for the comic book adaptation. For those who are unfamiliar with the comic, it follows a team of superheroes who handle the weirder elements of the DC Universe. They’re not all-out heroes like Justice Leaguebut they’re not anti-heroes like Suicide Squad; they’re the weirdoes and the outsiders, and they’ve got their own set of skills.
According to JoBlo, WB was happy with del Toro’s script, and while he didn’t come on board because of issues over casting and scheduling, the studio is now looking atBig Bad Wolves duo Aharon Keshales & Navot Papushado and Evil Deadremake helmer Fede Alvarez as the frontrunners for the gig. These are the kind of directors who don’t have the cache to throw their weight around, but they do have acclaim and vision, and if they can strike a balance with the studio’s wishes, then everyone can come out a winner. It will be interesting to see how much freedom WB gives to the project’s director, and how much violence they’re expecting in the project. Producer Charles Roven previously stated that all of the studio’s comic book movies will be PG-13 (something I think is a limitation in some cases), so I doubt Justice League Dark will be as super-violent as Big Bad Wolves or Evil Dead.

When it comes to casting, JoBlo reiterates earlier reports from Heroic Hollywood and Latino Reviewstating that WB is looking atColin Farrell for John Constantine, Ron Perlmanfor Swamp Thing, Ben Mendelsohn as Anton Arcane, Ewan McGregor for Jason Blood/The Demon, andMonica Bellucci for Madame Xanadu. They also want a comedic actor for Deadman and an unknown up-and-comer for the magician Zatanna. Bascially, they’re looking to keep costs manageable on the above-the-line talent and presumably there will be some cash left over for some visual effects weirdness. They’re also not betting the house on this one, and I doubt the budget for Justice League Dark will be anywhere close to what the studio ponies up for Justice League Part I and II.
We’re still in the early stages of development, and things could fall apart, but JoBlo says WB wants to get the film shooting in early 2016, which is remarkably fast, and yet it makes sense if the studio wants to add some tonal diversity to their superhero slate. Also, if the studio is high on Suicide Squad, it makes sense to throw another weird team into the mix. “You want to have your one big superhero team?” DCCU asks Marvel, “Fine. We’re going to have three teams and they’re going to be vastly different.” At the very least, it should be interesting if it all comes togethe

I have no issues with either of those director choices.

Based on edge of tomorrow I'm curious to see what he does with this. More curious to see who's writing it tho.
