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.

Are you telling me you weren't down with Electra?
If everyone is so worried about having some buff chick play WW - just cast Hillary Swank.
Me, I'll just go ahead and get past she isn't ripped and prefer to hot chick over one that is bit mildly looks like she has a touch of down syndrome. [Reply]
The original rumor from months back when it was first leaked that they were casting was that she (the character) would only appear as Diana Prince, and not as Wonder Woman. [Reply]
I wouldn't look at it that way. They're using the 2nd movie to launch a wider film universe. Never had any intention of doing that with the Batman films. And there's no reason MoS 3 can't be a singular film again. [Reply]

You really think that's going to happen? I don't. I think you are just hanging on hope here. The writing is on the wall. [Reply]
Also I understand Superman essentially is a beacon for all the other different characters to come to Earth or reveal themselves in the open and all that but that comes after he gets accepted by the world. He hasn't even been really accepted yet. He needs 3 movies to do that and they have failed to do so. [Reply]

:-):-):-) Awesome. He has plenty of villains though. Darkside and Braniac for two. If they would just actually brainstorm with every piece of Superman literature known to man they could come up with something very well made. They are just lazy chumps who want to get to where Marvel is in half the time. [Reply]
