It's official -DC's greatest superheroes, Batman and Superman, will be teaming up for the first time on the big screen… in an all-new adventure from the team that brought you 'Man of Steel'. This incredible announcement comes amidst speculation of an impending 'Justice League' movie… and it looks as though we might be getting the epic superhero team-up that we've all been waiting for.
Officially announced at the Warner Bros. Comic-Con panel, the staggering news came just moments after Zack Snyder explained that there was only one thing he could tell us about the 'Man of Steel' sequel…
"I want you to remember Clark in all the years to come," said DC spokesperson Henry Lennox. "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."
Comic-book fans will quickly realise that this was a line from Frank Miller's 'The Dark Knight Returns'… and Zack Snyder went on to confirm that this classic storyline will provide the basis for a Superman/Batman movie.
"I'm so excited to begin working again with Henry Cavill in the world we created," explained Snyder. "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."
Of course, anyone who has read the comics will realise that this storyline provides the basis for a rather epic battle between the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight… and it's something we've been desperate to see play out on the big screen for a long time.
And after the success of 'Man of Steel' it looks as though Zack Snyder and David S. Goyer will be working together once again… with a little help from Christopher Nolan of course.
"Superman and Batman together on the big screen is a dream come true for DC fans everywhere," said DC president Diane Nelson. "All of us at DC Entertainment could not be more excited for Zack's continuing vision for the DC Universe."
Producer Emma Thomas explained that "Whilst our 'Dark Knight' trilogy is complete, we have every confidence that Zack's fresh interpretation will take the character in a new and exciting direction. His vision for Superman opened the door to a whole new universe and we can't wait to see what Zack does with these characters."
Of course, Henry Cavill is confirmed to reprise his role as the Man of Steel... but who will play Batman? For the time being, nobody knows. But there's still one big question that remains - Is Zack Snyder up to the task? For now we'll have to wait and see… but after the phenomenal success of 'Man of Steel' I can't help thinking that this Superman/Batman crossover is in good hands.
