Take this bit of news with a grain of salt the size of a car battery, but according to Cosmic Book News, Warner Brothers might be planning on releasing a Justice League movie in either 2015 or 2016. If true, Geoff Johns, DC's Chief Creative Officer, will be in charge of putting all of these films together, while David Goyer is currently being eyed to write the script for the movie.
But before any blockbuster ensemble piece gets the green light, the article is also reporting that the company is looking to release a sequel to Zack Synder's Man of Steel and this summer's Green Lantern before a Justice League movie hits theaters. This will slowly build anticipation for a big ensemble piece much in the same way Marvel has done with Avengers.
The studio is also apparently looking to bring back Henry Cavill as Superman and Ryan Reynolds as the Green Lantern for the movie; meanwhile, Bat fans should prepare themselves to see a new man under the pointy earned cowl because Christian Bale will not be coming back when/if this Justice League movie ever gets released.
If, and this is a big if, Warner Brothers takes its time, rebuilds its individual properties, and eventually releases a big-budget Justice League movie down the road, the company might have a chance at crawling out of the hole that Green Lantern put it in. But all of this hinges on the box office success of Man of Steel, Green Lantern 2, and The Dark Knight Rises. At this point it's more likely that all of these plans will fall apart rather than come together nicely, but it's always nice to hope.

Bout time! Weather it's a rumor or not the fact that it's even out there enough to be a post on a site means Something. They should start thinking about having certain characters make tiny cameos like W.Woman and/or The Flash- or even Bruce Wayne making a brief appearance in the Man of Steel before beginning to tie things together because everything is so separate right now. Marvel has done great tying things together and you would hope that D.C. would be the one to do what Marvel has done or at least rival but I guess that will take time. Either way, talking about it is a good thing. They have to do W.Woman right too man, even if the actress playing her is a "no name", they have to do it right!
