Warner Bros. is developing a film focused on characters from the Justice League, a squad of comic book superheroes, with Man of Steel director Zack Snyder leading the charge.
The studio confirmed the news to Mashable. Additionally, Greg Silverman, Warner's president of worldwide production, told the Wall Street Journal that Snyder's still-untitled Man of Steel sequel "will lead into Justice League."

The new project doesn't yet have a release date or list of superheroes who will appear in the film. In the comics, the founding members of the Justice League of America -- originally formed in 1960 -- were Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter.
Snyder will have his hands full completing the Man of Steel sequel, due in 2016 and starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jeremy Irons as Batman's butler Alfred and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.
Affleck, Cavill and Gadot will reprise their roles in the Justice League film.
