DC Quietly Brewing...:

At a recent New York party DC President Paul Levitz disclosed some info on certain projects (after a few drinks reportedly).

Superman Reboot:

After the reboot was given the green light Kevin Spacey was offered a return as Luthor. That we knew, but someone else came by DC to discuss his character's new direction... Brandon Routh! Hardly a Press Release announcement, but things slip when you had a few shrimp cocktails. All goes well, Superman... returns 2012. But only after Nolan signs on for Batman 3. More on that later.

Green With Envy:

Despite being talked about long ago, Green Arrow's jail-bird adventure "Super Max" is moving at a snail's pace. Green Lantern; bought to light merely weeks ago, is on a fast track for the big screen. How fast are we talkin? 2010! But the date could be revived if Nolan signs on for Batman 3...

"Now there's a Batman":

Although we've heard all the hoopla about Depp being targeted to play Riddler and where the Nolan-verse of Batman can go storywise (Boy Wonders anyone?), but Nolan himself has yet to sign on for three. It's possible he could be satisfied with TDK as far as his Batman run is concerned. But if he is looking for a trilogy (a year ago he admitted to having done 2 sequels to 'Begins with his brother), he's probably just making WB sweat and/or raise their offer before he eventually signs on.

Now DC is planning the next slate of movies around Batman 3, which they want by 2011. That's right; it seems DC's secret weapon against Marvel's superteam epic is a follow-up to The Dark Knight. No pressure, Nolan. They also want it to be center piece between GL and Supes. Hmm...

If GL kicks ass, and I've read that the script does just that, a sequel would release around Superman's second return (assuming DC gets over the one-movie-a-year silliness). By this time Nolan would have delivered his final(?) Batman movie and the next one would presumably be a revamp, one adjusted for the colorful aesthetics of GL and Supes universe perhaps?

I predict Justice League by 2015, released alongside Teen Titans (starring a post-Nolan Batman 4 Robin).
