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.

Can't stand Eisenbergs Lex though. That's really going to be polarizing.
Already been mentioned I'm sure. Not Lex. Alex, his son. [Reply]
Someone posted this 'easter egg' on twitter thinking Bizzaro is coming
People do realize that this is essentially right as he's brought to life, and if it is DD or DS the character will morph as he becomes more powerful and evolves... right?
This is not what the final form of the villain will end up looking like. [Reply]

The argument being that supes should have just flown out to the middle of nowhere for the fight. But zod isn't stupid. He knows threatening the populace works against supes.

Their argument is old and tired.
I agree on all counts. Just saying that's why peeps are upset. [Reply]

Only because 'realistic' now and 'realistic' 40 years ago are completely different beasts. Basically both movies are live action cartoons, it's just that one is superfriends and the other is more akin to justice league unlimited. [Reply]

Because people are just bitching.
MOS was a flawed film, but Superman was fighting somebody with the same functional strength as him. Zod was a legit world-destroyer, that's not somebody you can just take to the continent next door. [Reply]

That's only because Donner didn't have the technology that Zach Snyder has [Reply]

It's beside the point. There is a difference, and anyone arguing otherwise isn't having an honest argument. The difference in destruction is night and day. [Reply]
