Summer 2015 looks like it may see the world's two most popular superhero teams go head-to-head. The LA Times is reporting that Warner Bros. is targeting their big screen ensemble, Justice League, for the same summer as Marvel's The Avengers 2.
There's still no director attached, but Justice League has a screenplay from Will Beall. Plot details are few, but the lineup of heroes is said to include (at least) Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and The Flash.
The same article notes that the studio wanted The Dark Knight Rises' Christopher Nolan to produce the team-up, but that he declined. Nolan is serving as producer on the upcoming Man of Steel, however. While there's no official confirmation as of yet, it is widely believed that the intent is to carry Henry Cavill's Superman character over to the Justice League feature.
Whether or not Justice League winds up having any ties to previous DC Comics adaptations, the intention of the studio is to spinoff characters into their own franchises post-2015.
I don't think they realize that what made Avengers so popular was that it combined a lot of succesful movies and fanbases. Captain America, Thor, and The Hulk all had successful movies that were still fresh on the GP's mind when Avengers came out. Besides Nolan's Batman and the Superman reboot next year, the line-up doesn't have nearly as much star power.
they have 3 years to really do this properly. they're gonna have to recast batman though, and without christian bale that role is kinda doomed really cos whoever plays him will always live in christian bales shadow.
i don't think they've left enough time to set up individual movies beforehand. thats mostly why the avengers was such a huge success; the individual movies were each huge successes first

They are rushing this only to compete with them. I'm pretty sure some marketing campaign is being conjured up that will pit them against each other...
LIES! The Justice League TRUMPS The Avengers. Look at the members of the Justice League, it's some of the BIGGEST comic superheros. Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman alone >>>>>>>>>>>>> The Avengers. I am too amped for Wonder Woman though. That's my girl!
I need this movie please, as i say in the other tread, they're waiting for Man Of Steel to find success in the box office, if the movie is a hit they will move her $$$ to start shooting Justice League.
