While we're labeling this as rumor for right now, it would not be surprising if is is true. With the third Man Of Steel trailer receiving overwhelmingly positive praise, writer David S. Goyer's star continues to rise. Considering that Goyer was also part of writing Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, Warner Bros. would have to be crazy to not want him involved in a Justice League movie in some capacity.

Editor-in-Chief of AMC Movie News John Campea just tweeted, "So take this for what it's worth, but a little bird just told me WB is moving on #JusticeLeague w Goyer possibly directing." Campea later added, "Re #justiceleague 2 industry guys emailed in last 5 mins. 1 heard same from same source, 1 says Goyer is on but writing only."

With buzz high about Man Of Steel, we would be surprised if David S. Goyer wasn't hired to either write or re-write the Justice League movie script. If Warner Bros. would also tap him to direct doesn't seem as likely, but it could always be possible.
