Yes! Thor has his own comics, and is also one of the members of the Justice League, along with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Iron Man, Captain America, etc. My understanding is that they (the movie producers and DC comics) intend to make bunches of these "origin" movies, and then have them all join together in one or more Justice League movies. Hence the reference to Stark (Iron Man/Tony Stark) near the end, right before the FBI-looking guys get blown away by the robot. A Green Lantern movie (starring Ryan Reynolds, which kind of messes with my head) is also currently in the works.
Of course, DC's Thor is based on the Norse god of the same name, and many of the deities from Norse mythology (Odin, Loki, Freya, etc) appear in his storyline in one form or another. But this does not mean that the comic version of Thor is true to the Norse pantheon version.
I LOVE their casting choice for him. (I would hit that like a freight train experiencing catastrophic brake failure.)
