    Superman took flight again this summer in "Man of Steel," which has so far taken in over $280 million in the US and over $620 million worldwide, making it the #2 movie at the box office for 2013 ("Iron Man 3" sits securely at the top spot). Naturally, Henry Cavill is set to step into the character's red boots again, but at the Comic-Con today, there was surprising news that he'll be joined by another caped superhero.

    Batman will team up with Superman in the next movie, The Hollywood Reporter and the Los Angeles Times confirmed Saturday morning. "Man of Steel" director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David Goyer (who also worked on "The Dark Knight" series) will return for the film expected to be released in 2015. Christian Bale, however, is not expected to return as the Caped Crusader.

    There was speculation that Warner Bros. would follow "Man of Steel" with a "Justice League" movie that would bring together all of the major heroes from the DC Comics world, including Wonder Woman, but that has been pushed back. Instead, they will follow the Superman/Batman team up with a movie for the super-speedy hero The Flash in 2016, and follow with "Justice League" in 2017.

    This will be the first time the two biggest names in DC Comics will share the big screen, but it almost happened once before over a decade ago. After the embarrassing "Batman & Robin" in 1997, several reboots of the Caped Crusader were proposed, including "Batman vs. Superman." Director Wolfgang Petersen ("Air Force One") was attached to a script by "Seven" screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker that would have pitted the two against each other, but that project was eventually scrapped for Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins."

    Batman and Superman, who partnered up in the comics under the title "World's Finest," will have another superhero team to watch out for when they hit the screen. Marvel's "The Avengers 2" has already been announced to open that same year on May 1, 2015.

    It's prob better than rushing the Justice League right?

    I'm more of a Marvel Fan anyway ... And don't Batman and Superman hate each other?

    No surprise that a Dolphins fan would talk like this, but that is a ridiculous comment.

    Summer 2015 is going to be intense though, since The Avengers: Age of Ultron is also coming out. Can't wait.

    Glad they are going with Ultron before Thanos. Thanos should be in Avengers 3. Then they can add Spiderman onto Avengers 3 for the big bang finale

    Nolan's batman just wouldn't fit in with Zach Snyder's Superman.

    At least they're skipping the bullshit Batman origin story this time around.

    Man of Steel was in essence a failure so they needed to bring in Batman in order to give him a sequel and keep him (Cavill's rendition) relevant until the Justice League movie. This movie in a nutshell.

    Yeah, I agree completely. I, of course, would prefer a solo Batman movie. However, this was needed to keep their DC Universe plan going. I think it will work, too.

    Meh... I think Batman + Superman are going to be weird together. Superman usually handles his own business, they don't really seem like a good team. Batman has crazy technology while superman has crazy strength and can fly. Why would superman need Batman for anything?

    that is exactly what batgirl/woman said. way too much political correctness. expect kate upton to do a cameo as batwoman.
