Nevertheless, there's been talk that Justice League could instead take place in its own continuity, one that's entirely separate from any solo features - such as the inevitable Batman reboot and, of course, next year's hotly-anticipatedMan of Steel. However, during an interview with the New York Post, actor Henry Cavill has confirmed that he's signed on to reprise the role of Superman for two more movies, with director Zack Snyder hinting that one of these could see him joining DC's stable of superheroes as part the epic team-up.
"I don’t know how Justice League is going to be handled. Honestly, I don’t. But ‘The Man of Steel’ exists, and Superman is in it. I don’t know how you’d move forward without acknowledging that," said Snyder, who also offered the following response when asked if he came under any pressure from WB to integrate Man of Steel into a shared superhero universe: "I can’t really say anything to that, because that’s a big spoiler. I will say, yeah, they trust me to keep them on course."
Based on Snyder's comments, it would seem that Man of Steel will serve as Warner's Iron Man, and it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to imagine we'll get some kind of post-credits sequence setting up Justice League when the Superman reboot when it hits cinemas next June. An appearance from Batman is probably out of the question, but there were rumours earlier this year of a potential Wonder Woman cameo...
