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.

Abortion? No. A different interpretation? Yes.
The comic book fanboys will never be happy. [Reply]

It's $4.99 on VUDU and Amazon.
I bought the $19.99 Amazon version because I figured that at 3 hours, it would take me a few sittings in order to finish it (kids).
I was wrong. I was fully engaged and stayed up late to watch it. I started to watch it again last night but crashed. [Reply]
Interesting vid. Never quite thought of it that way, but that explains why the movie had such a disjointed feel to it and why people had a hard time connecting with it. [Reply]

Yes, absolutely. He also was the bully in Spiderman back in the day. Dude def is a specimen, I'm hoping for great things on screen between him and Batman. [Reply]

Physically he is definitely Deathstroke. But the character is layered and full of depth, so hopefully he can pull off that aspect. [Reply]

It makes the most sense to get Deathstroke involved in the DCEU.
I don't think people will buy him as the main villain in a Justice League movie and it doesn't look like Green Arrow will be getting a stand-alone movie just yet.
As an enhanced human, Batman is the only one he should realistically have a chance against. [Reply]
