Superman/Batman movie coming in 2015

[tk13]

---

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.

I enjoyed it.

They're setting up the entire DCU, with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. Personally, I thought that as cool.

They also introduced the first of the villians, which was cool, too.

Good vs. Evil.

Let's go...

Don't think I'm going to watch it. Half the internet says it shows too much. That's one thing Nolan and J.J. Abrams do very well... make good teasers without totally ruining the movie.

I'm liking it. Will enjoy watching it with my son.
Can't stand Eisenbergs Lex though. That's really going to be polarizing.

It feels like a rushed response to the trailer for Civil War.

Marvel has been playing Alpha on this since the beginning. Starting with scheduling Civil War over the original release date for BvS.

looks a lot worse than i thought it would be

Oh cool! We get to watch buildings collapse and alien creatures fly around. Never seen that before...

Yeah it should have ended about 45 seconds sooner. The reveals at the end totally kill any tension that the movie is going to spend two hours trying to get you to believe may exist.

Guess it's Doomsday. That sucks. He looks terrible, more spikes Snyder!

Right when I heard Jesse Eisenberg at the party... good god, farthest thing away from Lex that you can get. I know it's his son but he sounded like an interior decorator.

They showed WAY to much. WAYYYYY too much.

Also at the end, Batman holding a gun? A rifle/shotgun? Ugh. We now know everything about the movie, there's no surprises anymore.

Also Gravelly voiced Affleck is better than Bale but not much.

Good parts were Eisenbergs line about psychotic being a three syllable word and the "She with you? I thought she was with you."

Looks like that is a nightmare scene for Bruce, no way they put Doomsday and Darkseid in this. More than likely a prelude, similar to Thor's water vision crap in Avengers 2.

The cavern in quality between the "Civil War" trailer and this one is so large you could see it from space.

The scene between Clark and Bruce makes zero ****ing sense, and is too full of winks for the viewer to even enjoy the scene.

Eisenberg is playing perhaps the worst take on Lex we've ever seen.

The trailor gave everything away. There is no suspense anymore about who is coming out on top between Batman & Supes.

This is just a terrible take, which looks even worse in the wake of the "Civil War" trailer looking so excellent.

[Deberg_1990]

Yea, I've noticed both trailers have been 3 minutes long. That's about a minute or 30 seconds longer than most standard trailers.

WB has alot at stake obviously.

[-King-]

Didn't really like the trailer. Looked badly mixed and the music choice was off, but Im still excited about this movie.

I don't like Jesse Eisenberg in his role though.

Loved the trailer, insanely hyped for this movie...only behind Star Wars on the hype meter.

Always been way more invested in DC stuff opposed to Marvel but between this and Cap 3 it's going to be an awesome 2016....

[Deberg_1990]

I do like that DC is making their movies very stylized. The Marvel movies are shot with a basic very boring look.

I like that they're trying to keep it "grounded" too per se...I mean as grounded as you can keep this subject matter.
