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
