Besides what others have said it also means Affleck is exerting a certain level of influence over the films, he's the one who brought Terrio on board. I think Affleck is a great director so if he has a say in a scene that isn't really panning out great, then by all means. I like Snyder's movies, but at the same time if they could do a collaborative effort between Snyder's visual elements with Affleck's character direction and personal scenes, then we should be in for a great movie.
I also don't really mind Goyer that much, but I don't think he gets Batman like he does Superman. It felt like they were trying to apply what they did for Batman Begins to Man of Steel on some levels. That or Jonathan Nolan did a lot of heavy lifting. He'll get a lot of shit thrown at him, but as a writer he's done a lot of movies I enjoyed.
They didn't get rid of Goyer. All they did was bring in a new writer for a rewrite. It's very common and I bet they had another one or two do an uncredited rewrite before shooting began.
If Goyer was truly fired he wouldn't be getting credit. A lot of his writing still remains, whether that is structure or dialogue. You can tell by the dialogue in the last trailer, that Terrio is a major improvement.

No, he'd still get credit. Happens all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if his name is on Justice League as well but that doesn't mean he did anything.
Well, the rules for writing credit in Hollywood is weird as heck.
And also would imagine Warner still wants to be on Goyer's good side... fans may dislike him, but he has generated a lot of money for them

Goyer did fine with Constantine on the Constantine show. Rest of it was pretty damn mediocre.
Didn't Goyer help the Nolan brothers write The Dark Knight trilogy? We're all acting like he's some incompetent writer with no good ideas.
That's where Goyer shines. He has great ideas but he's pretty bad at putting it on paper.

Actually, I'm more inclined to call him a writer with some good ideas but very little actual competency.
This part is a bit puzzling to me, but why is Justice League filming back to back? That second part is going to sit on the shelf for 3 years. (same thing happened with LOTR where filming wrapped in 2000 and the last one released in 2003 but the films were evenly spaced out each year).
I wonder just how connected the films are or if something happens in between.

I get the sense it speaks to our confidence in Snyder in addition to Goyer. Most tend to agree Zack Snyder's worst film is Sucker Punch, and to my knowledge it's all him. Even among self-professed Snyder fans, I hear how he needs a strong script to work off of. And that he is capable of doing justice to that script.
Well for better or worse it tells you they have a plan and come hell or high water they will stick to it since JL Part 2 will be completed before any of the movies that build up to it.

producer Charles Roven says no to back to back JL filming
Which is kind of a shame because we would have gotten a Hal confirmation from set leaks. Wonder what villain is so encompassing that has to be 2 movies, or how that all pans out, instead of just doing JL1 & JL2.

Darkseid, Brainiac, and the list goes on and on.

Yeah, they're not exactly lacking for heavy hitters.
Darkseid would be an interesting opening choice. Have the first movie be a minor incursion and the second be the Real Deal.

I'm not so in love with a single villain that I'd like to see one take up both movies. Darkseid almost feels like Joker to me where he gets a lot of cross media exposure. I still want warworld and crime syndicate at some point. Warworld would be fun for a Superman movie, though Mongul has become more of a GL villain as late, I think GL has enough material with manhunters, sinestro corps and the guardians themselves to keep busy.
I wouldn't mind crime syndicate being a two parter that leads into the multiverse with anti-monitor as a villain, but at the same time I think if a lot of the solo villains end up being popular they should do a legion of doom or injustice league for the bad guys of one film.

I like The Flash, but Grant Gustin does not have the physique of a superhero. The dude looks weak and the wack ass looking budget suit doesn't help either. Speedsters might not be hulking figures, but they at least look fit and formidable. Gustin does not.

Gustin totally looks fit, just not... formidable. Which is okay, honestly. They don't all have to be physically imposing.
And the suit is great, what is wrong with you.
It's not bad but, eh. I didn't like it when it was revealed and I still don't.
Actually Grant looks like what I expect a speedster to be... especially with their high metabolism won't be too large ever
I find it hard to imagine he'd know the exact number. Especially since I doubt WB would want that number out before they're ready for it to be known. They haven't released anything about BvS. I also find it hard to believe that SS as a film would cost anywhere close to that. The action would largely be street level as far as comic book action goes with perhaps the most heavy CGI being focused on Enchantress.
Edit:
While on the subject of SS. IMDB says the film is in post-production. Is this actually the case? Was this ever officially said?
I laughed too hard at these. I love Batmans face there. Please give me more

I"m still wondering what that explosion shot is. Somehow I'm doubting doomsday caused it, at least not the from the scenes we've seen. That isn't really how heat vision works, even when deflected by a shield.
They don't have to be physically imposing, they just have to look they can actually hurt you.
Have you actually paid attention to the suit? It looks AWFUL.
Legitimately shit tier suit.
When you look for it when watching the show, you'll notice it looks even shittier than any of those images show.

I don't mind Gustin's suit, the only thing is his suit's forehead looks a bit big and barren. Arrow has the better suit of the two with season 4. Supergirl's suit is great as well.

I am sooooo excited to see Ezra Miller in the new suit.
I mean, look at fucking Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman. You can only assume The Flash's costume will be awesome aswell.

This should be the new Flash suit
It is pretty weak (the suit I mean). Of all the superheroes that should stick to the skin tight spandex, the guy who is faster than shit should be one of them. He should look sleek and aerodynamic, not frumpy.
The costume has always been the weakest part of the show visually. It's just something you get used to and give a pass to. It's a suit that might look better if Grant Gustin was more bulky I think. Look at the Reverse Flash and Zoom suits. Both worn by actors that were bigger and as a result the suits look better I feel. Same with Jay Garricks suit as well.
Yeah, it is a bit weird that we're only three months out from release (Jesus we're almost there after three freaking years) and we've just gotten the three main trailers and a slow trickle of promo shots.
I'm still holding to my theory that WB are simply waiting for the New Year, when Star Wars has come and gone, to begin the all-out marketing onslaught.
March DC Comics... comics will have BvS variant covers. Sadly seems like only for a handful of books

What does In the heart of the sea mean? https://twitter.com/zacksnyder/status/675469426725007360
The latest Ron Howard film.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1390411/
It's suppose to be based on the events that inspired the story Moby Dick.

Good, I don't want to see anymore character reveals anyway.
In the Heart of the Sea is actually a stealth Aquaman origin movie.
This thing's going to sell out in two seconds.

The more insane part is it will sell out in two seconds, even when priced at like $700+

New clip (possible commercial?) for the movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ctjti56lf-M&feature=youtu.be
No new footage, but sounds like new music
And really well cut.

That was the music used in the Comic-Con trailer wasn't it?
