March 30, 2014: WB to Announce "Justice League" Movie Soon

Justice League In a profile piece on new Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara, the NY Times also touches on the expected announcement of a series of films based on the DC Universe of characters, including a Justice League movie...

    As for DC Entertainment, cross-studio collaboration to make better use of its comic book characters appears to have accelerated considerably since Mr. Tsujihara took over, in part because he eliminated some management layers. (He has not named a chief operating officer and did not replace Mr. Rosenblum and Mr. Robinov, choosing instead to divide up their duties and assume some himself.) Two new television shows are coming to the CW and Fox, including one based on the Flash and another on a young Batman, and a film series will be announced in the near future, Mr. Tsujihara said. It is expected to include a "Justice League" movie.

    Underscoring his aggressive approach to the DC Comics universe, Mr. Tsujihara and Dan Fellman, Warner's domestic film distribution chief, recently moved the studio's untitled Batman-Superman movie - a hotly anticipated follow-up to last year's "Man of Steel" - to a release date in May 2016 previously claimed by Marvel for one of its own films. It created an industry dust-up, and Marvel retaliated with a date change of its own. But the move sent a blunt message: Warner takes a back seat to no one.

As for what time frame "the near future" alludes to is anyone's guess.
