Superman/Batman movie coming in 2015 (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=274670)

Quote:

The two most iconic DC Comics heroes are officially teaming up for their big screen debut together. On Saturday at Comic-Con, Warner Bros. officially announced a Batman and Superman tentpole.

As sources previously told The Hollywood Reporter, Zack Snyder will be directing the film and Henry Cavill is set to reprise his role as Clark Kent. Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane will also return for the film.

“I’m so excited to begin working again with Henry Cavill in the world we created, and I can’t wait to expand the DC Universe in this next chapter," Snyder said in a statement. "Let’s face it, it’s beyond mythological to have Superman and our new Batman facing off, since they are the greatest Super Heroes in the world."

The film will be scripted by Man of Steel's David Goyer along with Snyder. Man of Steel producer and Dark Knight trilogy director Christopher Nolan will executive produce along with Emma Thomas, Benjamin Melniker and Michael E. Uslan.

The tentpole is planned for release in 2015.

Maybe i'm in the minority on this, but pairing them up sounds kinda corny.

Might go something like this <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/OcW95B2G6sM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Minus Robin.

No, no, no. Too soon. Make a Man of Steel 2 then make this. Not a good idea, IMO.

For the most part this will be Man of Steel. This will be treated as the sequel except with Batman thrown in a bit.

I would watch an Aquaman movie before I spend money on anything Superman related. I have very low expectations for this movie as well as the proposed Justice League movie.

Yet you feel compelled to post in a Superman movie thread.

You've already read the treatment?

This sounds like a terrible idea.

Sounds like its going to be Superman Vs. Batman. Hmmmm

“"I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you."

That line, one of the best moments in Frank Miller’s seminal, genre-changing The Dark Knight Returns, is what Zack Snyder used to announce his next movie: a film that has both Superman and Batman. The film is untitled, is currently dated for summer 2015 and that’s all we know.

Snyder was quick to say that the quote didn’t mean they were adapting TDKR; rather it informs what this movie will be. So expect Batman and Superman to be at odds, and duking it out. We have to assume this is how Kryptonite is introduced into the rebooted Superman movie universe, that Bruce Wayne finds it.

What will the film be called? It can’t be Man of Steel 2. I’d love it if they went old school and called it World’s Finest, but that might be too square for the new, darker Superman.

The other question is who will be Batman? They’re going into production next year according to Warner Bros, so they’re going to have to find their new Batman quite quickly. Will they attempt to tie it into the Nolan films? Is this a Batman reboot? We’ll know more soon.

I hope this is solid...really not sure what to think. HUGE batman fan...

I may have to watch the dark knight returns part 1 and 2 that came out recently and re-read the comic, good stuff

That sounds reeruned. Hopefully it isn't Suppes v batman for the big fight. That would be lame.

It would mostly be lame because Batman wouldn't stand a goddamn chance.

That's the problem with the way Man of Steel is constructed.

It's a great movie (that's right, it is), but it is such a great, comprehensive tale of who Superman is and how extraordinary his presence on earth is, that you can't really create a villain that has a prayer at competing with him.
