Superman and Batman to Team Up in Movie[Comic-Con]

[Sam.]

Warner Bros. kicked Saturday at Comic-Con with a big announcement: Batman and Superman will pair up in a new movie as the follow up to “Man of Steel.”

Zach Snyder, who helmed “Man of Steel,” is co-writing the story with David S. Goyer, who will then pen the screenplay. Production is expected to begin in 2014, with an anticipated release date in summer 2015.

The new Batman has yet to be cast. Christian Bale has, however, said he would not return to the role.

Studio and the director made the announcement of the the Superman and Batman match-up to 6,000 people inside Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center, at the end of its panel where it also promoted “Gravity,” The Lego Movie,” Edge of Tomorrow,” “300: Rise of an Empire,” “Godzilla,” and “Seventh Son.”

During the brief presentation, Snyder revealed the film’s logo.

The studio and DC Entertainment has been considering several options for its superhero films, including a “Man of Steel” sequel for 2015, a Flash movie in 2016 and the Justice League film for 2017.

Warner Bros. has indicated that it planned to bring back Superman for a 2015 film if “Man of Steel” performed up to expectations. The film’s worldwide box office has hit $622 million since its June 14 launch. ”The Dark Knight Rises,” starring Bale, topped $1 billion in global box office last year.

The Batman-Superman movie could match the box office prowess of “Marvel’s The Avengers.” That 2012 Disney release, featuring Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk and Thor, amassed $1.5 billion worldwide.

It would also move the Burbank studio closer to its long-planned all-star superhero pic “Justice League” — finally fully exploiting its DC Comics library beyond Batman and Superman.

“Justice League” would bring to the screen such characters as Aquaman, the Flash, Wonder Woman and another Green Lantern, whose costly 2011 predecessor flopped.

“Superman and Batman together on the big screen is a dream come true for DC fans everywhere,” said Diane Nelson, president of DC Entertainment. “All of us at DC Entertainment could not be more excited for Zack’s continuing vision for the DC Universe.”

Snyder said, “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. 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 new film brings back Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder as producers. This time, Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are serving as executive producers, along with Benjamin Melniker and Michael E. Uslan.

That's the exact thing I thought. They're really going to need to put their foot down on the Batman character and make sure they get it right.

This movie will break all records, believe me. They need to cast a younger blood to do such a role. Bale looked so fucking old in 'TDNK'.

i like Bale as an actor.. but i honestly thought he was terrible in the batman movies.. i think it was mostly due to that dumb voice he used...

Thank you!

Yeah, I didn't like him that much either. Great movies though.

I loved Man of Steel, but some of the concern on the internet was that Superman needed to be developed more as a character before he was in a crossover this big.

:whew: bold statement bruh bruh. Hope you're right, I just find it hard to imagine for some reason. Batman is the hardest superhero role to play imo.

Honestly, it's probably because I don't think that highly of Bale's performance so the bar is pretty low.
