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.

He should be using his powers to defeat opponents that are as strong or stronger than him. I understand that part of being Superman is having to hold back on the fragile humans, but Superman looks like a doofus when Lex outsmarts him every time and the audience clearly see that too.
I liked the Smallville fight in Man of Steel and the fight with Darkseid at the end of the Justice League Unlimited cartoon where Superman can just let loose and use his powers as best as he knows how. He shouldn't need to be controlled by Darkseid in the next movie in order to let that happen. [Reply]

As others have mentioned the whole plot of Superman vs Batman doesn't make any sense so the directors were in a bad spot from the beginning.
I thought I had lowered my expectations low enough to see it on discount Tuesday, but was still disappointed. Total fail on every level. This is probably the worst acted, worst written blockbuster ever.
6 Million dollar man Vs. Bigfoot was better.. even King Kong Vs. Godzilla was better.
Superman Vs. Batman-should never have been made. :-) I was trying to think of something I liked about this film....and can't think of anything. [Reply]

Snyder has shit all over Superman, and turned Batman into an obsessed, murderous, deranged would-be killer of a man who was clearly on the side of good, so I don't know why anyone would still be buying the nonsense about him caring about the comics and what is canon. [Reply]

Well I still considered it entertaining. I loved how they put Superwoman into the movie, I thought the actress did a great job. I liked a lot of the Batman and Superman scenes. Loved the Doomsday fight etc.. There was still a lot I liked about the movie even though there was a lot I didn't like.

I watched it and honestly... the premise was lame. I believe I'm more of an Avenger guy and I hate Affleck in these roles. Honestly, there's no way Batman could realistically beat SM... the whole thing was flawed, it was 'too dark' like a Burton film and BM was painted as a self-absorbed, paranoid freakshow.
I took my son and some friends to watch it and at no time did I think "this is cool". I thought Holly was miscast in her role, Luthor's character was ok. I think BM is a great cast, as was Lois. But, overall - blech. [Reply]

It's based on the dark knight returns comic...of course Kryptonite comes into play
