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'm certain that Hans and his team will write a much better score.
Is Hans doing the score? His music is amazing. [Reply]

Yeah, last I heard it's Hans.
But here's the thing: He rarely, if ever, scores anything anymore. He has a stable of writers that he assigns scenes, then he "approves" the cues.
For The Dark Knight, there were more than 24 composer's names submitted to the Oscar's and it was rejected because there were too many composers. So he had to whittle it down and re-submit. [Reply]

He should get a few more, just so he can say he has "scores" of writers. [Reply]
Loved the Music from TDK series and MOS. More I watch the trailer the more I get over the part showing Doomsday. There has to be more surprise's [Reply]
I'm not a big DC fan but isn't Lex Luthor usually more, um "stately" and put together than this guy in the trailer? To my uninformed eye, it looks like they are kind of combining Luthor with the Joker or something. [Reply]
