In an interview on Splash the writer of the upcoming Green Arrow movie SuperMax. He revealed that it would have Lex Luther in it as well as The Riddler. You will recall in the movie the Green Arrow finds himself in a supermax prison and must escape. Think Prison Break but with superheroes. He also talked about the design of the prison;
"It's a very, very awesome prison. I majored in architecture in college, and design is how I actually started in. For 'Super Max,' designing that prison, it had to be the kind of thing that was a character in and of itself," Marks said. "We're in a world where instead of just trying to contain a guy who's really big, you're trying to contain a guy who can — in the case of Icicle — who can freeze things. What kind of a cell would a guy like that need in order to have his powers neutralized? So to escape from Super Max they have got to go through the most elaborate heist we've ever seen, involving superpowers. Because the prison itself kind of has superpowers!"
It's a fitting tribute to a character that over the years has been more famous for his team-ups than for his individual adventures, Marks pointed out. Those team-ups include characters like the Green Lantern in a legendary run in the '70s and Batman in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns."
This movie to me is the epitome of an awesome idea. I am glued to this one for updates!
