It looks like Justice League will follow Batman vs. Superman. There are still no plans for other Leaguers' solo movies.

Just how many incriminating photos of Warners executives does Zack Snyder have? 🙄 It's like they're with him to the death.
This guy must be a persuasive genius! He convinced Ben Affleck to be Batman and he convinced WB to allow him to direct Justice League. I wish he would use those skills to get Bruce Timm involved as a Feige-like executive producer.

Snyder would do well for a JL movie. Big action and whatnot.
And most likely missing all the humour & heart Joss Whedon brings to Avengers.
I know it's an old argument and Warners has made their decision. But I really don't like the way they stick their talent onto projects just out of loyalty. Snyder keeps getting put on films just because they like him, it seems. Once you're inside with Warners, they keep you going on other things. Because he adapted Watchmen, they seem to think he can do any kind of comic adaptation. It was the same logic that got Warners in the 1990's to put Tim Burton on a Superman project ("He did Batman, so he can do Superman; no problem!"😉, and don't we all Thank God it fell apart?
I don't know who Snyder's overseerer is now; Christopher Nolan seems to have moved on. Is Geoff Johns still with DC Entertainment, or did he quietly resign after Green Lantern tanked?
Contrast this with Marvel, where the big three Avengers all get solo movies, they have a consistent overseeing council (Kevin Feige and the Marvel braintrust) and they hire different directors for the needs of different projects. Their strategy is working.
At the very least, could Snyder cut out most of the look-I'm-being-seriously-autuer-now shakycam, for the next films? It works better for street-level heroes like Batman and Captain America; less so for Superman.
They're just rushing into JL trying to catch up to Marvel (which isn't even going to happen for the next 10+ years anyway).
Whose even going to care about JL? All the hype will be for Batman vs Superman. That will be the mega hit here. Whilst JL will just seem like an overcrowded sequel to BvS. There won't be anywhere near the kind of hype for it that Avengers had.
And how are they going to deal with Origin stories? Are we just going to have to accept going in that there's all sorts of random superheroes in this Universe? Or are they actually going to attempt to explain the Origins of each of the JL members in the JL movie?
It just makes no sense at all IMHO. It's going to be a very long time before they catch up with Marvel on the big screen (if ever). Heck I'm more excited for Fox's future plans with their Marvel properties.
