Finally, the news has arrived that Superman is set to clash with Batman in the next DC Comics blockbuster.
Man of Steel director Zack Snyder has revealed that the two caped crusaders will star together in flick to be released summer 2015.
He also confirmed that Brit star Henry Cavill would return along with co-stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, and Diane Lane but could not confirm fellow Brit, Christian Bale, will don his cape once more as the Dark Knight.
Snyder gushed: “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 Superheroes in the world.”
After Dark Knight Rises he said: “We were incredibly fortunate to get to make three Batman films. That’s enough. Let’s not get greedy.
“It’s a torch that should be handed from one actor to another. So I enjoy looking forward to what somebody else will come up with.”
Man of Steel was produced by Dark Knight director Chris Nolan and has already grossed nearly $310 million at the box office.
Zack caused a huge stir when he turned up to address an excited audience at the US convention.
He said: “I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for supporting the movie.
“It was great working with such an awesome character and have everyone respond. But I wanted to come up personally, because I know there’s been a lot of speculation about what we’re doing, and I wanted it to come from me and say that it’s official that we’re going to do another Superman movie.”
He then unveiled the famous Superman badge with the wings of the Batman symbol behind.
Very exciting… However, Batman won’t be the same without Bale… Although I reckon he will back, Hollywood can be very per$ua$ive!
