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.
Still not buying the reason Batman has to destroy Superman. Clearly an intelligent man who understands the greater good, but for whatever reason we have to force an illogical hatred into Batman to make him want to destroy Superman, and get into a heated argument with Alfred about why his hatred is justifiable.

To be fair between Zods arrival and his death the entire sequence of events took all of a day or two. [Reply]
Yep. His minions flying around pretty much confirmed it. If Darkseid isn't involved directly, maybe we'll see Granny Goodness or one of his other captains leading an assault on Earth and its heroes.
Another "panic" move by DC, imo. Marvel has not only introduced their super baddie Thanos, but have him playing a very active role very soon. DC is trying to play catchup by force feeding us all their lore in one messing looking film, including their #1 baddie Darkseid. [Reply]
This movie looks fucking stupid. I'm sorry to the fanboys out there, but it just looks like trash.
I have a friend at work who is a huge virgin and all he talks about and thinks about all day is comic shit. He's been jacking off to the idea of this movie since probably before this thread was made. He'll see this movie 5 times in threaters and talk himself into enjoying it even if it's garbage. At least Deadpool doesn't look like shit. [Reply]
I'm going go see it but with expectations of being a bad comedic comedy that fails to be funny but just for the value of Entertain me. "Comic"
How do the villain's play into it? Dawn of Justice so I assume that they will be on the same side the very end to beat the bad guys ~Pow~Boom~Zap. [Reply]
