'Justice League' aims for summer 2015 after Superman victory
DC Comics' superheroes can finally team up on the big screen following yesterday's legal victory for Warner Bros. in its long-running fight over the rights to Superman.
The studio is expected to accelerate development of a planned "Justice League" movie that would join Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and other characters, according to a knowledgeable person not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Warner hopes to shoot the film next year and release it in the summer of 2015. The studio already has a "Justice League" script in the works. Next it needs to attach a director and then cast the lead roles.
Had Warner lost its case against the heirs of Superman co-creator Joe Shuster, it would not have been able to make "Justice League" or any other movies, television shows or comics featuring key elements of the Man of Steel's mythos after 2013 unless it reached a new agreement with the estates of Shuster and co-creator Jerry Siegel.
That uncertainty made it difficult for Warner to move ahead with "Justice League," which the studio's motion pictures group president, Jeff Robinov, has long wanted to make as a pillar of its big-screen superhero strategy.
Robinov previously tried unsuccessfully to convince "The Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan to produce "Justice League." Nolan is producing next year's Superman movie "Man of Steel." Wednesday's court victory also makes it possible for Warner to make sequels to "Man of Steel" if the picture is successful.
With "Green Lantern" flopping and other movies featuring the Flash and Wonder Woman lingering in development, Warner has lagged behind Walt Disney Co.'s Marvel Studios in profiting from cinematic superheroes. Only Nolan's blockbuster Batman movie trilogy has succeeded for the Burbank studio.
The studio's plan is to spin out other superheroes into their own movies following "Justice League." That's contrary to Marvel's successful strategy of teaming up Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Captain America in "Avengers" (which became a global blockbuster) after each character had his own film.
...well, arite then.

That's going to be a risky plan to have individual heroes movies AFTER the Justice League movie. I can see Justice League doing Avengers numbers even still though.
Ever since Nolan did it with Batman, am I the only one who wants almost every super hero movie to have that dark feeling to it?
I'm probably reaching, but are those scales behind Mandarin? That can't be Fin Fang Foom.
SO READY
That trailer was too dope. I can't wait.
I'm probably reaching, but are those scales behind Mandarin? That can't be Fin Fang Foom.
After seeing the trailer, the scales behind Mandarin look more like a room.
Does this take place before or after Avengers?
Watched the trailer 4 times already.
Found some things in it. Is that Cap's shield tattooed on the back of Mandarin's neck?
