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 saw an image of a toy called 'knightmare batman' with this gear on...def a dream sequence. My thoughts are this is some post apocalypse ordeal or something where Supes in charge. [Reply]

Dude, really? Affleck is an incredible actor, but more often than not disappoints when it's directed by someone other than himself. Notable exceptions: Gone Girl (David Fincher); Hollywoodland (Allen Coulter); Dogma (Kevin Smith); Shakespeare in Love (John Madden); and Good Will Hunting (Gus Van Sant).
And Snyder, please. Every movie he's done has been rife with problems. Some have been entertaining, while others have been outright disasters. And every one has definitely been style over substance. [Reply]

Affleck is a talented guy. He got railed on during the JLo days, but credit to him For bouncing back.
Not sure where he fanboy hate for Snyder comes from? Ive liked everything he's done except for he Owl movie and the girl fantasy of Sucker Punch. [Reply]

This response does not jive with your previous post calling mine "so much fail." I agree, Affleck is talented. But I stand by my statement that more often than not, he disappoints. For every Argo or The Town, there's two Runner Runners.
I don't hate Snyder. I've enjoyed some of his work. But every movie he's done has some big problems, and the guy clearly cares more about how a movie looks than the story behind it. [Reply]
It could be Bizarro. It would explain shots where Superman looks pissed. Like when he's bowing in front of Lex, when he's shooting eye beams while he's flying, it would explain Batman mistaking Superman for a monster which would actually make sense. Batman's armor battle with Superman is probably Superman because Superman doesn't look pissed. So Superman probably takes a beating to prove to Batman it wasn't him, then in the final battle Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman try to take down Bizzaro together.
In Superman 4 Lex strapped a Lunchables to a rocket and made a version of Superman so I'm sure this go around dealing with the body of Zod and genetics makes alot more sense than that jargon. I think the Superman clone is both good and bad. The good is it explains Batman's anger as mistaken identity, but its annoying because it seems like an easy villain cop out so I would expect the villain in this movie to be lackluster. [Reply]

World famous actors do absolutely horrible movies frequently, especially today. There are so many films being made for the Asian market that will never be released in English speaking countries that it's impossible to track.
Plus, actors make decisions based on their agent's suggestions because of the income and not so much because of the script.
For every successful actor working today, there are at least 2-3 really crappy films on their resume, if not dozens.

Affleck is hardly unique in that regard.
For someone who can do as good a work as he's apparently capable of, his list of turds is pretty long. [Reply]

I'm going with some kind of hallucination, though. Although we have seen the shot of superman bowing to luthor, so who knows.
It could be both a nightmare of a clone. If it is a nightmare, I wish it wasn't in this movie, we don't need screen time wasted with a nightmare scene of how Batman is afraid of a Supes clone. You have way too many characters and plot lines to get through Snyder, get your shit together and don't waste time on a nightmare sequence that we can all safely assume provides nothing to the plot! Save that time for badass action at least! [Reply]
