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.

Just like Man of Steel, the first trailer looked really, really promising but the closer and closer we get and the more they reveal about it, the more disappointing it looks.
The 2nd trailer tempered everything esp with the Doomsday surprise. Tonight on the CW supposedly a special on for 'dawn of the justice league' that will show more footage as well as a new Suicide Squad Trailer I believe after Flash. [Reply]
The only thing I haven't liked so far is the Doomsday reveal, and I'm not entirely convinced that's not a red herring. Particularly not after the Bizarro rumors of a week or so ago. [Reply]

Funny how it's been pointed out that the Batman costume really is more of the batsuit when Deathstroke was impersonating as Batman. [Reply]
@Rydog: @Prose_Edda Affleck brought his Argo screenwriter with him to polish the BvS script, so I have hope. And Suicide Squad's their best bet yet. [Reply]
So it appears that Batman has been around awhile.....So why no mention of Batman in the first MoS movie? Or why didnt he help out when Zod and Superman was arriving? [Reply]

Same reason Avengers superheroes don't help each other out in their individual movies. [Reply]
