the movie, which written by Chris Terrio from a screenplay by David S. Goyer, are still unknown. But the movie-industry trade mag points out that the _Dawn of Justice_ subtitle suggests

continuity into the yet-untitled _Justice League _movie that director Zack Snyder (_300_, _WATCHMEN_), who is helming this film, has signed on to lead. Last week, Snyder tweeted the first

picture of Affleck in costume, featuring the star in full brood. Last year’s announcement that Affleck would portray Batman met a lot of derision online. The actor was able to laugh it off

on _Late Night With Jimmy Fallon_ in September – saying “If I can handle the Emmy snub, I can handle anything” – but he later admitted feeling some wariness about playing such an iconic

both different from the great movies that Chris [Nolan]and Christian [Bale] made but still in keeping with tradition I was excited.
