A Superman/Batman film is coming in 2015

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.

Could be awesome or really, really suck.

Not sure how I feel about this. If they pick the wrong actor to play Batman after Bale, it's going to be poo.

They have been coming together for 50 years.

Never understood why in a world that has Superman, that Batman needs to exist.  Why can't Superman clean up Gotham City?

I'm betting on option two.

Superman damn near brought down Metropolis in Man of Steel.

I'm pumped. DC makes epic scale movies and I'm sure this one will be no different. A lot of the people shitting on the concept are the same people who love the Avengers which is incredibly ironic. The only thing I don't like is that if this really does follow The Dark Knight Returns storyline it'll be more of a Batman story than a true Superman sequel.

What no wonder twins?

Putting these two together will totally ruin the latest Batman series. Man of Steel(while good)was no where close to caliber that Batman Begins was or the entire Nolan series for that matter. If Christian Bale isn't in it it then it will be that much worse. Thumbs down.

 

Plus making a thrilling script and plot with a cheese head like Super man into Batman's gritty and dark universe will be a challenge.

The Wonder Woman movie isn't until later.

In the comics it works. They usually work really well together even though their genres are vastly different. If there can be a Clayface in Batman's universe I'm pretty sure Superman can be too.

it works in the comics because the writers aren't so concerned about the 1970s and 80s superman movies. All the movies until MOS have followed that blueprint instead of the comics.

superman is a much darker character than batman. but everyone remembers the campy movies. imagine if Batman was only remembered for the 1960s series.

A movie would be good if done right (writers remembering that Batman will be the brains and moral compass of the duo). Supes is corruptible; Batman isn't.
