This news is probably about as Earth shattering as finding out that Luke Skywalker is a Jedi, but it's nice to finally get some official confirmation after months of speculation.
Speaking to the 'Wall Street Journal', Warner Bros. president Greg Silverman confirmed that director Zack Snyder will in fact direct the Justice League movie. With the who's who list of characters already set to appear in Batman Vs. Superman (Gal Gadot as Wonderwoman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, and Jason Mamoa circling a major role) it was obvious to anyone wih eyes that WB was setting up for a Justice League movie. The chances of Zack Snyder NOT directing the film were about 0% so at least we can now dispense with all the mystery about who will helm the project.
Furthermore, it appears as if the Justice League movie will hit theaters sooner than you might expect.
Borys Kit, writer for "The Hollywood Reporter" states that both films will film back to back with JL hitting theaters in 2017. An official announcement will be made at (gasp!) ComicCon. I'd also expect that we'll finally get an announcement about what DC character Dwayne Johnson will play. My guess is he's going to be Green Lantern or Martian Manhunter.
Batman Vs Superman releases May 6, 2016.
