Breaking: Warner Bros. Will Follow Up 'Man of Steel' With A Superman & Batman Movie For 2015

This is unexpected news. Warner Bros.' Comic-Con panel isn't until later today, but apparently some major news is about to be announced. The L.A. Times' Hero Complex blog is reporting that the studio has decided what their follow-up film to "Man Of Steel" is going to be, and not it's not a Superman sequel or a "Justice League" film. According to the newspaper's blog, WB intends to announce a film that features Superman and Batman together; a team-up movie as it were. A 2015 release is being eyed.

"Man Of Steel" director Zack Snyder is expected to reunite with his writer David S. Goyer, who also co-wrote many of "The Dark Knight" movies with Christopher Nolan (though in some cases he only received a "story by" credit). Henry Cavill, signed on for the franchise, is expected to return as Superman, but don't expect Christian Bale to return as Batman as he has stated several times over now. Nolan's involvement is said to be unclear at this time.

More news when it arrives, presumably in a few hours.
