Two more, Thor and CapAm before Avengers in 2012. DC has Green Lantern in 2011 which will START their inter-weaving film universe. I'd say a JLA film is still 4-5 years away at least. You gotta build up Lantern, Wonder Woman, The Flash and maybe Aquaman and Hawkman, if speculation serves correct. Where DC has the advantage though, is having all of their properties in one spot, WB, and always have, whereas Marvel's properties are still all over the place. That being said, Spider-Man and X-Men aren't needed in the Marvel Films world or an Avengers film with Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk (and Black Widow, Nick Fury and Hawkeye). My mind reels just thinking of seeing a f**king Avengers film! The ONLY thing I'm worried about right now is the casting of Captain America himself.

Problem is, they missed the starting pistol by a few years. I can't see DC's JLA catching up to The Avengers as far as production schedule goes. Maybe that is a good thing though. With so many A-list heroes sharing one screen, there are bound to be some problems when the first film of this type is released. The second comer may be able to identify and rectify said mistakes in their own flick. In regards to Dan Lin’s comments; it sounds like DC is trying to involve itself in a superhero-movie-arms-race.
