Warner Bros and DC just made fans all over the world happy with the now confirmed announcement coming out of Comic Con that Batman and Superman, arguably two of the most iconic comic characters in history, are finally getting their first live action crossover film.

The news broke a little earlier but was just made official moments ago with the WB Comic Con panel and unveiling above of the film's logo.

Director Zack Snyder took to the stage and brought up actor Harry Lennix to read a special message, a quote that Batman fans will remember everywhere from the immortal classic Frank Miller story, The Dark Knight Returns;

"I want you to remember Clark," Lennix said, "in all the years to come. In all your private moments. In all the years to come, my hand at your throat. I want you to remember, the one man who beat you."

Now is that a throwaway geek moment or is it serving the purpose that this movie would follow somewhat Miller's treatment of both characters?

Of course a Batman/Superman movie is something we've all been waiting for a long time, with attempts at a pairing going back over a decade or more. This film will be launched as a direct follow-up to this summer's Man of Steel, Zack Snyder will direct, along with writer David S. Goyer and star Henry Cavill. Who's Batman? That's of course anybody's guess at this point, although it's probably safe money to say it won't be Christian Bale or Joseph Gordon Levitt.

Whether or not Christopher Nolan, who served as producer on Man of Steel and brought Batman out of the day-glow shadows with The Dark Knight trilogy, is involved in the film yet remains to be seen but it would certainly be interesting to see him have some guiding role in this. The movie is slated for a 2015 release and represents the first recent step to melding these character universes on the big screen.

Also it has been confirmed that Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane will be returning for the film, along with star Henry Cavill.

Personally, I think this is a much more interesting direction than jumping right to a Justice League movie, and will give DC the opportunity to grow this world before they start introducing characters that need a bit more explanation and finesse when it comes to the mainstream audience.

What do you think of this news? Is this the direction you wanted to see for a Batman and Superman pairing?
Normally, I'd be excited about a three hour action fest where Batman dons cyborg armor powered by an entire city and using Kryptonite to kick Superman's ass.

Wait...

They said that if Man of Steel was successful they were going to move ahead with Justice League and a Batman/Superman movie.

And with the Luther and Wayne Enterprises easter eggs in the movie, it's really not that big of a surprise that they're going to do this.


I AM LEGEND also predicted it along time ago.

I agree with the article that this is much better than jumping straight into a Justice League movie. Color me excited.

yeah. I am not pleased.

I suppose I will elaborate.

Angry joe had some good comments on the matter. I will echo a number of them.

Synder/Goyer teaming up again.
A team already shown to not get Superman at all. And who have some pretty shitty movies in their library. Sequels being better then the first, is pretty fucking rare, and these clowns didn't make the first one very good.
I look at Synder, and see he made 300. A frank Miller comic.
Then, uses a line from DKR, to herald Superman/Batman. A frank miller elseworld. that didn't get superman. And was a giant masturbatory fantasy for Batman.
I start getting really worried.
If the director things DKR is in ANY way a good representation of Batman/Superman and the Worlds Finest. holy shit.

There are also rumors the actual plot will be taken from Lex Luthor:man of steel. But thanks to the events of Man of Steel. Lex will of course be the hero, even if the movie tries to tell hes not.


Too soon for a teamup. Superman has not been developed enough. Again, the fallout from Man of Steel has not been addressed. Going right into a teamup or brawl without ever giving Superman a chance to shine. Especially since it will almost certainly have a Batman rapes Superman moment to appease the batgod fans.
Joe is right. It needed to be MoS, Mos2, Worlds Finest, Flash, WW, Blue and gold, Justice League, etc.

The writer and director fucking suck.

Where did Synder touch you? Therapy may be needed.

Chalk me up for the excited column.

I'm gonna save my money and just re-watch the DC Animated Universe World's Finest which is undoubtedly much better than this will be.

my 2 fav comic heroes are superman and batman. if snyder could tone down the millions dead without superman giving a shit tone they did in man of steel then it should be epic awesome.

Sucks if Christian Bale is out for sure. Really, how could he turn down 40-50 million if they threw it at him for this role?

Thanksfully, alot of people enjoyed Man of Steel and thus this sounds like nothing short of pure gold. However w/o Bale i cannot begin to imagine who will play as batman unless its his obvious successor from TDKR.

I for one won't miss Bale. He was an awesome Bruce Wayne, but by the third film his Batman growl had reached comedic proportions.

I'm excited. Will be interesting to see how it turns out.

If it is a batman vs superman, I am very curious how they do it. With the last 3 movies for batman, hes just been fighting basic criminals and psychopaths. Not sure how they will get him to the ability to fight a actual super powered being, especially since there has been no notion of "super preparedness" shown in the 3 batman movies.

I really hope DC can interlace and mesh their superheroes into a really good overall Arc with several sub arcs like marvel is doing. It would be great to have that many good movies to enjoy.

He pretty much only uses super preparedness on metas, other than that, he melees the street level thugs.

There was a glimmer of Batman's potential in TDK where he aced everyone simultaneously. I don't think it'll be hard for him to keep up when everyone in the audience wants him to succeed so much that they're willing to believe in any kind of bat gadget.

Everyone knows Batman would kick Superman's ass with his superpreparedness.

I just thought I'd get that out on the table, so we can get to our eventual 50 page argument over this. This was just the warning salvo, a shot across the bow, if you will.

This movie is going to be like porn for nerds.

im curious though, why would batman ever want to fight superman? superman isnt even aggressive like that. if batman came at him all swingy and fisty, superman would just chuckle and say, "run along bruce, there is a crime happening across gotham that will take you a half hour to get to while i can be there like NOW"

because batman writers need a reason to keep him relevant when it comes to actual superheroes. Hence the super preparedness trope about him. And so lyrical doesn't kill himself.
