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.

And it seemed so unnecessary... Like he was just ho-hum trying to teach him a lesson and make a point by sacrificing his life where the alternative didn't really seem that bad.. [Reply]

Not to mention it completely undermines the significance of the death. In the original origin, the significance is that Clark can't save him. There's nothing he could do. Well shit, in this version, all he had to do was go save him. **** that. [Reply]

I actually thought it was really cool because it gave his character far more depth than just dying from a heart attack. Plus, Clark saw firsthand that sacrificing one's self to help others is a noble gesture. [Reply]
The action in Man of Steel was so samey and incessant that by the end I was numb and bored.
They also completely ruined Jonathan Kent's character. He basically spends his entire screen time telling Clark to put himself before helping other people. Clark doesn't become Superman because of what his father taught him, he overcomes it and becomes Superman in spite of it. Jonathan Kent is practically a secondary villain in that movie. [Reply]

Him opting to off himself so that Clark could stay JAG forever was a tender moment in the feature. [Reply]
