SAN DIEGO --Start your drooling, fanboys and fangirls, and get ready for lots of Batarangs and heat vision. Batman and Superman will soon be teaming up on a big screen near you.
At a Warner Bros. panel at Comic-Con Saturday, the studio announced that Henry Cavill, the star of this summer's Man of Steel, will reprise the role of Superman in a sequel that will also feature Batman.
Man of Steel director Zack Snyder will act in the same capacity for the follow-up, expected in 2015.
No casting for Batman was mentioned but Snyder teased that the Gotham City hero's relationship with Superman in Frank Miller's seminal 1980s comic The Dark Knight Returns will inform aspects of Man of Steel 2.

I read an article early this week and in an interview with Bale, he said he was done, time to pass it to someone else.

i dont get this concept. Superman is turning around Earth and blowing shit up - he's an actual super power.
batman is a crazy sad guy with an agenda that uses technology and wit to stop bad guys.
COMPLETELY different. I mean, batman will be a shitty sidekick, trying to drive thru traffic in batmobile while superman can fly 1000 mph. Makes no sense to me. Spiderman and batman... that that'd be awesome. OR Superman fighting a planet of zombie, that'd be totally badass. But this movie sounds weird.

Despite my love for Superman (no homo), Batman will always be the cooler hero. Without his fluke powers, Superman is generally a wimp dude.

The way they portray Batman in the movies vs. the comics and cartoons is very different. In the comics, he a much more brilliant detective and strategist and that's more focused on. The movies are about the bad guys and gadgets. While the movies are good, you'd have to get really deep in the plot to really show the Brilliance of Batman and in the end, it's probably not worth the money so they stick to the bad guys as gadgets.
It'll be interesting to see how they portray him in Superman because you'll really have to up his gadgets and brilliance to be competitive with Superman. It can be done, it just needs to be focused on. I can't wait.

Bruce Wayne is human and everything he does is thru sweat and blood.....he's the only human in the justice league.... ;D...as for superman, well, if you take away his powers for one day, he's just the regular Joe next door who has no skills to implement as Bruce Wayne would.....if batman had powers as Kal-El, he'd be a true kick ass superHero
-
In the comics, isn't Batman a bit more ripped and also taller than Kal-El?
Supes is big but less defined.
Would they not need a bigger dude/actor as Batman (to compare with Henry Cavill) than Michael Keaton this time?

I hope they incorporate the Bale batman. I'm sure with a large enough sum of money Bale will return.

If that's true, all we can hope for is that they don't hire a whiny emo twink as batman trying to appeal to the kiddies.

This should put an end to all that talk.
http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2013/07/christian-bale-no-really-im-done-with-batman/
Christian Bale has to feel like he's a broken record these days.
When The Dark Knight Rises came out, the questions of whether or not he was truly done became an interview mainstay. When he said that he was done unless Christopher Nolan was interested in a fourth movie (which he's stated he is not), people took that as a wink and a nod kind of response.
Now that Man of Steel has found success at the box office and has set in motion the plans for a DC Comics cinematic universe, talks of Bale reprising his role as the Caped Crusader in the Justice League movie have begun again.
Thankfully, while talking to Entertainment Weekly for his new film, Out of the Furnace, Bale is giving his final word on the subject:
"We were incredibly fortunate to get to make three [Batman films]. That's enough, let's not get greedy. Chris [Nolan] always said he wanted to make it one film at a time."
"And we ended up sitting there, looking at each other, saying 'We're about to make the third.' We never really knew if we were going to get there, but if that was how it was going to be, this was where it should end as well."
As a matter of fact, as far as Bale is saying, he knows just as much about the Justice League movie as the rest of us which is nothing much beyond "this looks like it could happen."
Perhaps this will finally stop the speculation, but we all know that until we see someone else wearing that familiar cowl, his name will still come up.

I echo this sentiment.
Superman and Batman inhabit two different realities. Batman is a more realistic film noir character, in a gritty world where tghe normal rules of physics apply. Superman is a campy, suspend-all-belief figure, in a universe where anything goes.
-
I sincerely hope that if they do make a Batman & Superman teamup movie, that Bale does reconsider.
Money has a way of changing things...
"1"
-
I think that because they'll have to make this Batman so different, they wouldn't even want Bale because it would be drastically different from the DarK Knight Batman.

240 is correct. It's not about what makes sense... it's about what makes money.
IMO, people are starting to tire of these superhero movies.
Green Lantern... horrible.
Batman 3... oh-hum.
Spiderman re-boot... yawn.
IM2 and IM3... yawn.
Superman re-boot... another yawn.
Wolverine... who cares.
The CGI stuff doesn't really impress people anymore.
The Avengers worked well because of the cast, it was well written and fun.

I don't know how. The movie was junk. I couldn't sit through 30 mins of it. Thorn, Arrow Boy and Chick with a Gun. ::)
Now, they have a Dark Thorn movie. Can you say, DC Universe copycat?

One of the problems is over saturation, for the last several summers we've had nothing but superhero films. The concept is starting to become stale. Movie studios don't care, they will continue to pump them out until they don't make anymore money.

I agree with that, but others would disagree. The Avengers has done over a billion so far worldwide.
-
yep. no such thing as caring about the 'legacy' of a movie or character or series. it's all about the money.
superman/batman is very stupid. but a lot of stupid ideas are made into stupid movies for stupid people.

look at the Super/Batman animated movie...that was pretty good. The animated movies are better because you do more stuff with them and delve deeper into the plot/character.

Superman is the muscle while Batman is the brain. That's all. Plus, it's a pretext to put the Joker into the movie.

Batman has changed capes three times in 13 years. Nothing wierd.

With "prep-time", even Batman can defeat Superman, he knows it, and the whole Justice League knows it.
It was him who came up with all the methods to defeat JL after all.

It sucks, because for my money he is one of the best to ever play a superhero role.

Cavill is taller by an inch. They can make him seem bigger though.
Maybe since Nolan is part of the project that the next movie will be in line with The Dark Knight Rises. Joseph Gordon-Levitt could make sense in that cape.

Any of y'all ever read any of Supes/Batman books? Familiar with the stories at all?

This is actually the best interaction between them i've seen. Superman stepping on his toes. There's no way you can power up Batman to any relevance in Superman's universe in a live action movie.
-

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a pencil neck. He would need to gain 30lbs of muscle to play the role.
He will play Robin and Bale will come back.

If they try to cast some "up and comer" or the flashy guy of the day to be Batman, this can turn out to be shit like the Val Kilmer or George Clooney Batmen of old. The casting of a new guy is critical.
Who would you guys like to see cast as Batman if Bale refuses to do it??
I think this cat would be badass
Jonathan Rhys Myers.
He can play that playboy role, put him on the sauce and give him some size. Would be badass. The guy can act.

He's damn good in 6 Souls if you haven't seen it.
I can live with him as the next Batman. That's an ace pick by Nolan and company if they were to go with him.

Fuck, a black James Bond would end that 50 year franchise.
Yes, he would be a perfect John Stewart. The Hal Jordan Lantern sucks ass. But didn't DC recently make the Lantern out to be gay? Fuck that.

I know he is british, but he's still black. Black spy movies not staring Will Smith or Denzel will bomb.
I did read an article on cnn that Ryan Gosselin is rumored to play Batman. Just as I said, if they go for the "it" actor it is going to suck, just like Clooney and Kilmer

Exclusive: Tyler Hoechlin Up For New Batman; Screen Test With Henry Cavill; Plot For New Superman/Bats Movie
Last Saturday at Comic-Con following the Warner Bros. panel, attendees were graced with a surprise visit by Man of Steel director Zack Snyder and Harry Lennix announcing the next Superman movie.
Lennix read text from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel, and then a Superman/Batman logo was revealed to a stunned audience.
The audience quickly erupted with cheers of enthusiasm as Snyder revealed that the new Batman will be a part of the sequel to Man of Steel.
Our DC Entertainment source who provided us with first draft script details for Man of Steel, which included mention of LexCorps in the Metropolis skyline as well as the bus scene with Lana Lang witnessing a young Clark Kent using his super powers, has sent over some information on the upcoming as-of-yet untitled Superman/Batman movie.
Our DC Entertainment source also previously provided us with information on the Batman reboot, which was said to be in part based on the popular Batman Arkham video game franchise. That now looks to be adapted into the recently announced Batman: Arkham Assault animated movie slated for 2014.
We're told Warner Bros. didn't go forward with the Arkham adaptation because they want to get both Batman and Superman out into the cinema quickly. Also, that Snyder and Goyer plot-wise initially didn't have Batman vs. Superman, but since WB wanted to move things along they essentially are combining two films in one, with the movie having been in pre-production for a couple months (merchandising underway as well etc.). We're told, "Snyder is really loving building the DC Cinematic Universe."
9744 Regarding the new Batman, Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf, Lincoln Heights, 7th Heaven, Road To Perdition) is being heavily considered for the part and will be getting a screen test alongside Henry Cavill. Warner Bros. and Snyder are looking at somebody to play the new Batman with a reputation similar to Cavill's, when Cavill was testing for Superman. It's also said that better known actors could also be testing for the role. As filming is expected to begin in early 2014, screen tests should be happening soon.
Cosmic Book News is also told that the Superman/Batman movie will features villains (in the plural), with it currently thought that the Joker and Lex Luthor team up; however, the source said the villains are only known by a select few, but Luthor is all but guaranteed.
Regarding the plot of the film:
"The sequel is set a year after Man of Steel, and the world is still getting used to having this powerful god on the planet who isn't fully trusted by everybody. Batman certainly doesn't trust Superman. Superman doesn't trust Batman; either of which causes the two to clash when they initially meet. They do however pair up to defeat the villains (not 100% confirmed who the villains are). COULD be Luthor and Joker, but only a select few really know that. Luthor is definitely in the sequel and he doesn't like Superman, believing him a threat to the planet."
Previous to Comic-Con there was also rumor of a Justice League movie and a film for The Flash; however, Snyder only announced Superman/Batman.
We've been told there is a lot in the works being built up to Justice League, which will take place after Superman/Batman with The Flash possibly spinning out of that (the previous rumor said Flash before JL). Also, expect a lot of Easter Eggs to the Justice League members in Superman/Batman with characters like Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern getting referenced.
Our DC Entertainment Source also says it looks as if the Justice League movie will feature the DC Comics New 52 characters, which could mean no Martian Manhunter, but Cyborg.

Man of Steel was a smelly, gigantic piece of shit with a pathetic excuse for a plot and average acting.
Since Bale isn't going to be around this duo will most likely be a pathetic failure.

Yes yes.
What the fuck was Black Widow aka the Girl with 2 Glocks running around while everyone else has real super powers or an super mecha suit.
The director/aka financing board put her in there so the feminists wouldn't complain about lack of "Girl Power" in the movie.

HAHA this just sums up how stupid man of steel was towards the end, it bugged me then and i'm glad i not alone. The people are supposed to be thankful superman is amongst them, after man of steel and the most likely millions he killed everyone in metropolis everyone would be cursing him and wanting his head on a stake for the death of friends and loved ones.

We've been told there is a lot in the works being built up to Justice League, which will take place after Superman/Batman with The Flash possibly spinning out of that (the previous rumor said Flash before JL). Also, expect a lot of Easter Eggs to the Justice League members in Superman/Batman with characters like Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern getting referenced.
Our DC Entertainment Source also says it looks as if the Justice League movie will feature the DC Comics New 52 characters, which could mean no Martian Manhunter, but Cyborg.

Tyler Hoechil might be an interesting choice & he definitely has that Bruce Wayne/Batman look to him. But, I thought they wanted an older actor that was near or in his 40's to play that role to give Batman that older rugged look.

They did. Now Affleck has to admit he is old.

Ben Affleck to Play Batman in Man of Steel Sequel
Ben Affleck may not be directing a Justice League movie, but...
This is so much better!
The Oscar winner is going to play Batman in the planned Man of Steel sequel, Warner Bros. announced Thursday.
Zack Snyder is returning to direct the follow-up to his first Superman flick, starring Henry Cavill as the titular superhero, which has made more than $649 million worldwide.
Production on the sequel, which has no official title yet, is scheduled to kick off next year and the film is due in theaters July 17, 2015.
Of course, this isn't Affleck's first foray into playing a character ripped from the pages of a comic book—he starred in Daredevil in 2003—nor is it his first brush with the Superman mythos.
Back when his acting career was in its limbo period, Affleck scored a Golden Globe nomination for playing George Reeves—the star of the 1950s-era Adventures of Superman TV series—in Hollywoodland, which took on the murder vs. suicide question that shadows Reeves' death to this day.
"Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman," Snyder said in a statement. "He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can't wait to work with him."

Hulk casting sucked. The movie sucked. The highlight is Hulk sucker punching Thorn. ::) That didn't get one laugh out of me.

Norton was the best.
i thought you only watched 30 minutes, dumbass...
so you walked in during the middle of the movie ::)
anyway, re: superhero movies getting stale... what do you expect when you have to drop 200 mil on these things? they have to bring in as large an audience as possible to make money, which means no getting deep into the story and alienating people who are unfamiliar with the mythos. hence the neverending re-hash origin stories, which bore all the fans to tears.

Hmmmm. Affleck has proven to be a great director, but his acting??? I hope they can pull this off.

Ben Affleck will star as Batman in Man of Steel 2. Ben Affleck. This is not a joke. Both The Wrap and Variety are reporting the news. Daredevil is playing Batman.
Last month's Comic Con revelation that the Caped Crusader will appear in the sequel to Zack Snyder's Superman flick was huge news—particularly the part where Snyder hinted that they'll be fighting one another. This is equally huge, and hilarious, and stunning, and kind of maybe amazing news.
So... Matt Damon as Robin?

Even if he pulls it off, it looks like their going backwards with Affleck...They could basically have anyone in the world play the part and they decide on Affleck...Too funny...

Haven't we seen enough of Batman? Or all superheroes, for that matter.

This asshole is the new Batman people. Imagine the homosexual activity that must have went down for this clown to be Batman.

Now this I FUCKING LOVE! How can they strike out so bad with Assfleck but hit a homerun with Cranston?
Anyways. The reason why Assfleck got the role is because he had a golden ticket for the pro jew Argo movie and winning an Oscar. He probably told the head of WB that he wanted the part and they just gave it to them. The director probably was throwing up in his mouth when he was trying to speak nice of Assfleck.

WHAT????
Bieber getting a preview of the script?
Late Friday evening, pop dynamo Justin Bieber posted a picture to Instagram of the screenplay to the upcoming film Batman vs. Superman, written by David S. Goyer and Zack Snyder. The film will be directed by Man of Steel helmer Zack Snyder, and see Henry Cavill reprise his role as Superman with Ben Affleck joining him as Batman.
The script Bieber posted appears to be a personalized copy with Bieber printed on it in big letters. From the front page of the screenplay, it says that the film will be based on Batman: The Dark Knight Falls by author Frank Miller and illustrator Klaus Janson, the fourth and final book of their graphic novel miniseries The Dark Knight Returns, which pits Superman and Batman against one another on the battlefield. Also, the date on the script appears to say it was last revised Aug. 30. But the real news is that Bieber posted a little message accompanying the picture: #robin? The post has over 400,000 likes at time of writing.
Of course, we don’t know if Bieber has been offered the role of Batman’s trusty sidekick Robin, a.k.a. Dick Grayson (or if this is another elaborate trolling of the Internet by Jimmy Kimmel). Grayson is the youngest member of a family trapeze act called the “Flying Graysons” and, after his parents are murdered, becomes a ward of the state, and eventually, Batman’s boy Friday. What we do know is if the 19-year-old pop sensation was sent a copy of the movie’s script, it’s safe to say there’s interest in him participating in the film in some capacity.
The news comes on the heels of Thursday’s announcement that Ben Affleck’s Batman would be “tired and weary and seasoned and been doing it for awhile,” according to Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara. He made the remarks during an investor gathering, officially titled the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications and Entertainment Conference.

Bieber has zero acting experience no way Snyder would cast him for such an important role! Its fake

worst part of the movie
Just like Bieber.

In the comics, isn't Batman a bit more ripped and also taller than Kal-El?
Supes is big but less defined.
Would they not need a bigger dude/actor as Batman (to compare with Henry Cavill) than Michael Keaton this time?
Pose down...
