The new superhero epic - starring Ben Afleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman - is due for release in March 2016.
It will be the first time the two giants of the superhero world will meet on te big screen.
Warner Bros. has nine additional DC movies scheduled for release through June 19, 2020, all of which are currently untitled.
Next, Snyder is directing a Justice League movie, which will shoot back to back with Superman V Batman, and might debut in 2017, according to sources for The Hollywood Reporter.
The blockbuster also stars Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luther, and Jeremy Irons as Alfred.
Meanwhile, the trailer for her newest movie, Big Eyes was released on Thursday.
In the Tim Burton directed film, the Golden Globe winner plays Margaret Keane, the uncredited painter behind the pictures of big-eyed children that revolutionized art in the 1950s and 1960s.
When Westlife went their separate ways in 2012, there was no doubt in anyone’s minds that the boys would be back in one guise or another.
After 18 months in the musical wilderness, Mark Feehily returned with a new name and a new sound, which he has described as "the complete polar opposite of what I was doing in Westlife".
Now known as Markus, he is preparing for the release of his debut solo album, Fire, on October 16.
Discussing the song, Feehily says: "Some people have always been there for us and we often take them for granted. This song is about realising that they have always been the answer.
“I actually wrote the chorus while I was sitting in my kitchen alone one night, feeling nostalgic before a night out with my mates.
I just whacked it into my dictaphone, and then in the middle of the session when we got to the ‘right now we need a chorus’ time of the day I was like ‘hang on, I have this one little thang on my dictaphone’ and when I played it the guys were like ‘THATS IT!!!"
Seeing the orchestra play the strings live was a tear jerker for me and it’s probably the warmest moment on my album."
After leaving Westlife and splitting from his long-term boyfriend Kevin McDaid, Feehily was ready for a new project - and Fire is the result.
It is a deeply personal account in which Feehily lays his soul bare on songs such as Wash the Pain Away, Butterfly and the single Love Is a Drug. This appears to give him a new lease of life.
"Calling my album Fire is a two-sided thing," Feehily says. "Fire represents the dark times I went through while writing the album, but also my actual song Fire is about finding new love and having the strength to pull through the tough times. So it has both positive and negative sides to it just like actual fire."
Discussing his years in the music business with Westlife, he adds: "You might think someone who’s had a 15-year career in music would think they’ve done it all. But I feel there’s so much I want to do that I haven’t done yet.
"That idea makes me feel as young as I did when I was starting out in Westlife. I’m really driven. I’m excited. And I’m ready to stand up and take charge".
Sinn Féin has selected former presidential candidate Liadh Ní Riada for the upcoming European elections while the Labour Party has selected Dominic Hannigan.
Ms Ní Riada has urged people to send a strong Sinn Féin team to Europe to counteract the Fine Gael campaign against Irish sovereignty.
The Ireland South MEP was speaking at the party's selection convention in Tipperary today where she was once again selected as the constituency's candidate for the upcoming European election.
"Week in and week out, we watch aghast in the European Parliament as Fine Gael MEPs brazenly support motions that dilute our sovereignty," she said.
"They support politics that cut funding from social, environmental and educational programmes.
"And make no mistake, Fine Gael MEPs are firmly wedded to following a path which will see Ireland pushed into an EU army," said Ms Ní Riada.
Meanwhile. the Labour Party has selected Mr Hannigan to contest the midlands north-west constituency.
"I am delighted to have been selected as the candidate for the midlands north-west constituency," said Mr Hannigan.
"My campaign to win a seat begins right now. I will be fighting to change the focus of Europe to a more social union, where workers' rights, social rights and human rights are at the core.
"As a former Chair of the European Union Affairs in the Oireachtas I am well aware of the challenges posed by Brexit and I will be pushing for Ireland's interests to be protected in the parliament.
"We need an MEP with links to the Socialists and Democrats in the parliament - the second biggest group - and I have those links.
"The challenge is big but I believe I have the energy, knowledge and commitment to win this seat," said Mr Hannigan.
The state has been steadfast in its opposition to offshore oil and gas development for decades. No new offshore oil and gas leases have been allowed in California since a 1969 blowout off the coast of Santa Barbara fouled miles of shoreline; killed thousands of birds, fish and sea mammals; and devastated tourism and co...
That damage spurred communities up and down the coast to adopt local ordinances in the 1980s to address oil and gas leasing. As mayor of Santa Cruz at the time, I was in the thick of a spirited debate over offshore oil and gas drilling and what locals could do. Santa Cruz city adopted an ordinance that requires any cha...
California’s opposition to offshore oil and gas development is neither partisan nor geographic; it is deeply ingrained across the state. Republican and Democratic governors alike have actively opposed it, and the governors of California, Oregon and Washington have joined together periodically to oppose efforts to renew...
California is working aggressively to develop one of the most robust and diversified energy portfolios in the world, including an electricity grid powered by solar, wind, geothermal and biomass renewable resources, and a transportation sector fueled with electricity, natural gas and biofuels. We are well on the way to ...
Expanding offshore and oil gas drilling as a long-term strategy to meet our nation’s energy needs is simply not sustainable, especially from both an environmental and economic perspective. We urge the Interior Department to heed the will of Californians and withdraw our state from further consideration for renewed offs...
State Congress chief Uttam Kumar Reddy demanded that 100 per cent counting of Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) be taken up.
Uttam Kumar Reddy asked Congress candidates write letters in concern over counting of paper trails.
With the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) headed for a landslide victory in Telangana's Assembly elections, the Congress today alleged that the Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) were manipulated.
He asked all Congress candidates to submit letters to returning officers concerned for counting of paper trails.
Congress, which headed the four-party People's Front, was leading in just 21 constituencies while the TRS was ahead in 87.
Time has finally run out for the company that has been trying to restart tin mining in Cornwall.
The South West Regional Development Authority (RDA) is to compulsorily purchase South Crofty tin mine.
The last working tin mine in Europe was closed in 1998 and bought in 2001 by mining firm Baseresult Holdings.
But promises of restarting the mine have not materialised and the RDA now wants to redevelop the site. Baseresult said it would fight the decision.
When South Crofty closed it ended a 3,000-year-old tin mining tradition in Cornwall.
Baseresult said after it bought South Crofty that it would be mining tin within two years, working towards a workforce of 200 people.
But from the start there was official scepticism and the RDA and other regeneration agencies doubted Baseresult could succeed.
Even the Camborne, Pool and Redruth Urban Regeneration Company suggested tin mining was not the sort of industry a modern county needed.
But early talk of compulsory purchase aroused some local anger and the agencies backed off.
Finally their patience has run out and it is being announced on Friday that the RDA will lead compulsory purchase of 147 acres at Pool, including the mine.
Nick Buckland, deputy chairman of the RDA, said the land would be redeveloped with a mixture of leisure and industrial use as well as housing.
He said: "The decision is a very positive step for the whole area.
"We will be delivering up to 2,000 new jobs and 600 new homes.
"This land is essential for regeneration."
The mine workings would be protected so that tin mining could resume if it became economically viable.
Mark Kazcmarek, a former South Crofty tin miner and a county councillor, said: "We have listened to Baseresult's promises and we supported them.
"But we are eight years down and now the time has come for change.
"We have to grasp this opportunity to move this area forward."
Baseresult said the company would be fighting the decision, but declined to comment any further.
“You have to think about large, messy systems,” the design guru says. It wouldn’t hurt to make some money, either.
For designers who are eager to reinvent themselves, this is the best time.
Unfortunately, according to Maeda (formerly of MIT’s Media Lab), education has yet to catch up to a world where design jobs are as likely, if not more likely, to involve building apps than creating bespoke furniture. “MIT was about large systems, and RISD was about things we love that are small and short-run,” he said....

Will Smith may have not aged in years, but Ang Lee’s upcoming flick Gemini Man takes it to a whole new level with ‘jaw-dropping’ CGI.
He’s taking it back to his youthful days and we’re living for it.
The I Am Legend star will play an assassin being pursued by a younger clone of himself and, all in all, it sounds creepy as hell.
However, it looks set to feature some pretty groundbreaking CG, with the first footage being released at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Thursday.
The film, which is set for an October release, will also be shot at an unusually high frame-rate of 120 frames per second.
Meanwhile, the actor’s been keeping himself busy, recently making his Bollywood debut, and revealing the sad news that the Fresh Prince can’t actually dance.
We were well and truly startled by the news.
‘Here’s the thing about me and dancing. I can’t dance. And I’ve somehow by making dance records created some weird illusion that I can dance, but I really can’t. It actually always makes me nervous,’ he admitted.
And, while some were wary of him stepping into Robin Williams’ shoes to take on the role of the Genie in Aladdin, new trailers for the upcoming movie appear to won people over once and for all.
Gemini Man will be released into cinemas on 11 October 2019.

The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century bill (S. 1813), which is commonly referred to as MAP 21, had appeared to be moving quickly through the Senate after a vote to end debate on the measure was approved by a wide margin last week.
But in a speech on the floor that Wednesday, Boxer said that the bill has been held up by "ridiculously unrelated amendments."
"Right now, there is no path forward," Boxer said even as she vowed to continue pushing for a clean vote on the transportation proposal.
"I don't see it," Boxer said. "It's one of those things where people just say 'I don't care. We're not going to (approve) this bill.'"
The Senate transportation bill, which is shorter than the controversial House version of the measure, has been hailed for its bipartisanship since was approved unanimously by several committees. The Senate bill does not include provisions to expand oil drilling, but it has been bogged down amendments such as a measure ...
Boxer said Wednesday that she would not allow the transportation bill to be permanently stopped during the amendment process.
"Everyone in America is going know that this is happening because I'm going to tell everyone in America it's happening," Boxer said.
“It’s hard to find the words, except to say… ‘What are you thinking?’” she said of amendments that had been filed for the transportation bill.
