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.

For the short time I collected (early 80s) Firestorm was great. My understanding is that it went to crap later. Early 80s DC was mostly garbage hence the Crisis reboot. [Reply]

Now if they bring in Green Arrow with a Kryptonite tipped arrow to give Bats a hand...
(I'll assume he won't be one-armed in the movie) [Reply]

It's not, 'Look at us, we 'fixed' the movie." It's not an insider expose on the inner workings of corporate filmmaking.
Looks cheesy with that color. Some movies aren't meant to have bright colors. The tint of the movie sets the tone. The Reeves superman was campy, so the bright colors helped it. The MoS superman is darker so the bleak colors help set that mood. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]

How the hell does normal color make the movie look cheesy. JFC that sounds dumb. Shit, Dark Knight had more color that MoS. [Reply]

I know.
What I'm saying is the comment in the vid about using brighter colors for supes and darker for BM makes sense. SM should be viewed as a bright and shining light - that's his character. BM works at night and is a much darker character - shooting them differently would make sense. [Reply]
