Justice League rumors FINALLY confirmed

Surrounding the anticipation for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel installment has been stealthy chatter about the possibility of a future Justice League movie. As reported by Slashfilm.com, Warner Bros. is already fast tracking the Man of Steel sequel with writer David Goyer. Apparently the plan is to bring back Snyder and Christopher Nolan to extend the series much like we've seen with their Marvel counterparts Spiderman and Ironman. In concordance with the sequel update, the Justice League spectacle is finally taking shape. Deadline reported that writer David Goyer's deal is part of a 3-picture deal he signed which will include the Man of Steel sequel and, officially, the Justice League movie.

The common responses from Snyder and Goyer in response to Justice League have been attributed to the success of Man of Steel. Understandably, you need Superman to have a massive box office return before considering that option. But as Goyer now endures questioning about what to expect from a Justice League universe, premature developments have since begun to unfold.

Talking to Jon Lyus from Hey U Guys, Goyer shared, "Zack (Snyder) has said that Bruce Wayne exists in this universe," adding, "It would be a different Bruce Wayne from Chris' (Nolan) Dark Knight trilogy". Whoa. So this shared DC Comics universe commenced by Man of Steel is veering off from Nolan's legendary resurgence of Batman? As if formally combatting their Marvel rivals, the highest grossing and greatest super hero franchise of all time in The Avengers wasn't difficult enough. Along with having to create original versions of fellow Justice League members Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg, not to mention a desperate re-creation of Ryan Reynolds' pathetic Green Lantern, an effective re-modulation of Batman will now also be needed. I don't think the pressure could be any greater for Snyder, Goyer, DC Comics, and Warner Bros. as they have now officially declared war against Marvel. 

Man of Steel is now in theaters, and is reportedly on pace to rake in at least $100 million in it's opening weekend.
