Is DC Planning The Superman Sequel Already?

Think McFly Think tells us the following:
Some rumblings suggest Justice League remains the priority, others suggest it's on hold. Rumor we're hearing, and frankly the one that makes the most sense – hence the article you're reading, has the studio aiming their tractor beams at a Superman sequel. Whatever title they bestow upon it (The Man of Tomorrow? The Last Son of Krypton? It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman Two?) the studio is accelerating it into development with David Goyer back on writing duties. Script problems, be damned! Goes to show how tensions disappear in the face of success or in this case, confidence there is success to be had.
So Justice League may be put on hold so that DC can focus on developing Superman more. That's not too far off from how Marvel developed toward the Avengers by giving us two Iron Man films first. Maybe they don't need to go straight from Superman to Justice League?

Whatever they do, I still think they should first develop the cast for the audience. They can't introduce everybody to us in the first team up, that might not go over well since it would spend too much story time on the individuals and miss (or rush) the team story.

"Man Of Steel" hits theaters on 14 June.
