Man of Steel director Zack Snyder will direct the tentpole with Henry Cavill returning as Superman. It is unclear who will play Batman in the new film. A release date of 2015 has been set, with a Flash movie appearing in 2016 and a Justice League movie in 2017.
Snyder's Man of Steel, which rebooted the Superman franchise, has grossed north of $600 million worldwide since it hit theaters this June.

According to two sources with knowledge of the movie, Warner Bros. intends to announce the news at its Comic-Con International panel Saturday morning. Said a Warner Bros. spokesperson, “We don’t comment on rumors regarding these properties.”
“Man of Steel” director Zack Snyder is expected to reunite with screenwriter David S. Goyer and star Henry Cavill for the new film. It’s unlikely Christian Bale will step back into the bat suit, as the actor has indicated publicly that he has moved on from his days as Bruce Wayne.
“Man of Steel” producer and “Dark Knight” trilogy director Christopher Nolan is expected by some to produce the project, but the exact nature of his involvement is unclear.
The move marks the culmination of years of effort on the part of Warner Bros. and DC Comics to bring their superheroes together in a similar fashion to their primary competitor Marvel, which successfully combined its superheroes into a $1.5-billion box-office hit with “The Avengers.”
In the comic world, the two heroes are teaming up in a new series, “Batman/Superman,” by writer Greg Pak and artist Jae Lee.
Snyder also came out and showed a short 20 second teaser.

He puts on the light on the bat signal with the new Batman logo (reminiscent of the one from Miller’s comic). Slow pan up to Superman, illuminated in the sky amongst the pouring rain with his red glowing eyes. I can’t express to you how awesome the teaser looked. It looked like the Frank Miller comic come to life through the lens of Zack Snyder.

I care wayyyyy more about how she performs than how she looks... I've never seen her in anything so I don't have a clue how she'll be. [Reply]
I still don't like the casting, but that costume is really good.
I think Wonder Woman's costume has always had three main problems. 1) It's too many different colors, 2) the color scheme is too similar to Superman, and 3) the illogicality of it looking so much like an American flag. This solves all of those while still looking like Wonder Woman. [Reply]

She was in a few Fast and Furious movies recently...not many lines, looked good though but yeah i agree [Reply]
Cool. The high-heels are kind of ridiculous though :-) could've gone with just regular flat combat boots? Still don't like the casting at all. Nothing fierce or heroic about her and the only films she has been in she played a dumb bimbo. [Reply]
