It looks like the recent Warner Bros. win over Joe Shuster’s heirs for the rights to Superman might pay off for fans. Persons in the know have said that Warner Bros. intends to begin shooting the movie Justice League in 2013 and are aiming for a summer 2015 release date (recall that Marvel’s The Avengers 2 will hit theaters in May 2015). At this point, the script is being written and the search for a director has begun. Also there is no definitive word on which names will appear as part of Justice League (Batman, Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, Green Lantern?) but WB has revealed that the movie will serve as a platform to launch individual franchises (e.g. Superman). After Justice League, WB will spin off other superheroes into their own movies which means, it could be used to introduce a new Batman.
