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.

I don't understand all the hate. It was just a really drawn out 30 second teaser if you ask me...
Compare it to the other teasers we've seen lately. Jurassic World. Avengers. Star Wars. To a lesser extent Ant Man. All of those of not downright exciting at least made you want to see more of what the movie was going to be about. I didn't get any of that from this teaser. I don't hate it. I'm just not excited or more interested in it [Reply]

What you're seeing lately from those movies are full blown trailers because they're coming out this year. Bats vs Supes isn't coming out until next year. [Reply]

No, I'm comparing it to the teasers we got for all of those movies, not the trailers. [Reply]
