Superman/Batman movie coming in 2015

---

After decades of fighting evil solo, Batman and Superman will finally be teaming up on the big screen, sources confirm to The Hollywood Reporter.

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.

Warner Bros. is about to bring together two of its most iconic heroes: Superman and Batman will unite in a new film, the follow-up to “Man of Steel,” set for release in 2015.

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.

Burton's version of the Batmobile had guns on it.

So did Nolan's (more of a gernade launcher)

And Frank Miller's (even if they just fired rubber bullets)

Quit talking in absolutes like you created the character or something. Batman is perfectly ok using guns as long as he isn't walking around with uzi's or some shit. Pretty much the only rule with Batman is that he does not kill, and I believe this has been broken on several occasions including the Nolan movies. But there is not a rule that says he can't use cannons on the front of a car to blow up support structures and such.

He breaks it in Burton's movies, too. In the first one, he throws that big black dude down the church steeple after bouncing his head off the bell, and in Batman Forever, he shoves the dynamite down that other guy's pants, drops him down a manhole, and blows him to bits.

Who cares.

[Aries Walker]

I'd imagine the guy with dynamite in his shorts does. Err, did.

But seriously, if you don't care, just don't say anything. Read another thread. You'll be happier.

Man Aries why are you in this thread if you're just going to talk crap about about its predecessor?

that's one of the carnies of the Red Triangle gang in Batman Returns. They were the Penguins' peps.

Oop, you're right. Returns, not Forever.
