He said he had made his name in smaller films and was reluctant to change direction.
He told the Howard Stern Show: "What am I going to do with Justice League of America? Basically I’ll make a movie that is not as good as X-Men, then I’ll be the guy who made a movie not as good as X-Men.
"Right now I’m thought of as a particular type of director. I’ve got an Oscar nomination. I’ve made two indie films that play film festivals that are considered thoughtful. I want to stay in that world, I like making those type of films.”
The Warner Bros movie follows DC Comics' top superheroes as they unite to form a crime-fighting team.
Adam Brody (The Flash), Scott Porter (Superman), Common (Green Lantern), Armie Hammer Jr (Batman) and Megan Gale (Wonder Woman) are all expected to star.
Reitman said he could not reveal details of the screenplay, but added that he thought it was "good, fine".
The film is scheduled for a 2009 release after being delayed due to script difficulties and tax issues in Australia.
