Logo and concept make me think this is some kind of (likely loose) Dark Knight Returns adaptation.

 

[Dahbomb]

That Batman logo could be better...

BUT I AM HYPED LET'S GO!!!

 

[inm8num2]

Now get Christian Bale to play Batman and we got a 3 billion BO movie.

Bale's done.

 

[RoboPlato]

This could be fun as hell.

 

[Error]

The Flash movie in 2016 and Justice League film in 2017 apparently.

 

[Makoto]

I was about to complain about the logo but...

The bat symbol being different from nolan's is a big deal I think. Separating the universe probably.

 

[Drakeon]

Logo and concept make me think this is some kind of (likely loose) Dark Knight Returns adaptation.

Welp, apparently you're right if the poster below me is to be believed.

 

[Pau]

That's an ugly logo.

I'm actually pretty surprised at this, and that they announced it so early.

But please, get a better screenwriter than Goyer.

 

[Wazzy]

Logo is ugly but otherwise I'm excited. I just want to hear who get's cast as Batman(I would prefer if Bale stayed but I'll understand if he doesn't come back or isn't asked) and who the villain will be.

I don't think this will do better than Avengers but it will do close for sure.

 

[G-Fex]

Yeah, that's what I'm looking forward to most.

At this point I kind of miss bat-gaf.

Super-gaf or MOS-Gaf was just full of fucking bickering for pages on end.

 

[Loxley]

It's going to be loosely based off of The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller.

 

[Beowulf28]

Maybe with Snyder directing we'll get some good bat fight scenes.

 

[CookedChocobo]

I'm sad Nolan's Batman is probably dead....I really liked martial arts centered Batman


BUT I'M STILL HYPED FOR THE MOVIE

 

[Brinbe]

it'll suck

 

[OSHAN]

Superman goes to Gotham; Batman fucks him up; they're "friends" at the end.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

From a Watchmen panel, 2008

“There are a lot of other graphic novels out there, but I would love to see Frank Miller’s Dark Knight made into a movie, but that’s just me.”

This is going to be Frank Miller's Batman.

 

[ColonelColon]

That's an ugly logo.

I'm actually pretty surprised at this, and that they announced it so early.

But please, get a better screenwriter than Goyer.

It doesn't seem too early for an announcement if it's really coming out in 2015.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Oh my god

 

[Slime]

This is a sequel to Man of Steel, Snyder himself said so. In other words, not the case.

Well, in the sense that Batman Begins was loosely based on Year One, anyway.

It's going to be loosely based off of The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller.

Shame about Snyder directing. Ugh.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Alright guys what's gonna gross more? The Avengers or this?

Avengers 2 v Batman/Superman?

Avengers 2 by a nose, assuming Marvel keeps up their shit in 2014. Iron Man 3's opening weekend vs MoS' proved their dominance.

They're both going to be annihilated by Episode VII though.

 

[Sorian]

I hope Ryan Reynolds makes a cameo as Green Lantern. And maybe Halle Berry will reprise her role as Catwoman.

"I hope the actors from the two worst DC movies reprise their role and lay a stain on what could be the biggest movie of 2015."

 

[Courage]

From a Watchmen panel, 2008



This is going to be Frank Miller's Batman.

Alright, now I'm hyped.

 

[Pickles the Firecat]

I've done a few Hall H's and the buzz after this reveal is the biggest I've seen. It's hype as fuck in here.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Oh god not Snyder!

 

[Jackpot]

Bale already confirmed he won't be Batman.

 

[Xrenity]

Batman and Superman in one universe always seemed ridiculous to me.

Superman would blow Batman's enemies too pieces in like 1 second.

 

[Discotheque]

I should be more excited. But I am not.

It's because the man of steel creative team is almost marvel-mediocre

They need some new scriptwriters. If Goyer is overseeing this whole universe I expect none of the films to meet expectations let alone surpass them

 

[Error]

Makes sense with Supes destroying half of Metropolis that Batman would see him as a serious threat, so Batman vs Supes movie? Wow, I'm legit excite.

 

[strafer]

Bale's done.

Confirmed bomba then.

 

[Drakeon]

From a Watchmen panel, 2008



This is going to be Frank Miller's Batman.

It can't be full on Frank Miller Batman if they're going to build this into a JLA though can it? I don't see a Frank Miller type Batman working in a JLA movie.

 

[Vanille]

please not JGL

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I could see it not being focused on Batman at all, really playing up Batman as this pain in the ass, mysterious vigilante who shows up in flashes, and really playing up the fact that we all know he is Bruce Wayne but nobody in the movie does (until the end). Have scenes with clean cut, playboy Bruce dealing with Luthor and/or Lois, and later on that day Batman shows up looking dark and dingy.

 

[Chariot]

If the Batman Logo remains the only critism, then we're good. I really think that they can do a good movie, even without Nolan and Bale.

 

[Nelo Ice]

YES! YES! YES!.

NEXT DC SUPER HERO MOVIE IN PRE-PRODUCTION
Director Zack Snyder Unites Superman and Batman in One Explosive New Film

BURBANK, CA, July 20, 2013 – On the heels of the worldwide success of “Man of Steel,” director Zack Snyderis bringing together the two greatest Super Heroes of all time—Batman and Superman—for the first time on the big screen. The announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution,Warner Bros. Pictures.

The current hit, “Man of Steel,” has taken in more than $630 million at the worldwide box office to date, and climbing. Along with its star, Henry Cavill, the upcomingfilm brings back Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane. The new Batman has yet to be cast.

Snyder is co-writing the story with David S. Goyer, who will then pen the screenplay. Production is expected to begin in 2014, with an anticipated release date inSummer 2015.

Silverman stated, “Zack Snyder is an incredibly talented filmmaker, but beyond that, he’s a fan first and he utterly gets this genre. We could not think of anyone better suited to the task of bringing these iconic Super Heroes to the screen in his own way.” Kroll added, “We are thrilled to be back in business with Zack and his team on this next movie. The success of ‘Man of Steel’ is a wonderful testament to the love and support that both fans and new audiences, worldwide, have for these characters. We are very excited to see what Zack has in store for all of us.”

 

[metalslimer]

Avengers 2 will win, but i love that these 2 are the same year, possibly in the same month period

 

[NinjaTehFish]

It's going to be loosely based off of The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller.

Straight into my veins.
Also girl robin is fine because JGL can still play the role.

 

[Pau]

It doesn't seem too early for an announcement if it's really coming out in 2015.

I was not very confident in DC's ability to get a movie starring two superheroes out any time soon, hence the surprise.

Snyder is co-writing the story with David S. Goyer, who will then pen the screenplay.

Ugh, what did we do to deserve this yet again...

 

[plantedunicorn]

That Batman Logo is fucking dreadful but goddamn if I'm not hyped. Hope he tries to improve on Man of Steel cos while that movie wasn't bad it had lots of room for improvement.

 

[Sorian]

Batman and Superman in one universe always seemed ridiculous to me.

Superman would blow Batman's enemies too pieces in like 1 second.

Supes doesn't kill people. He isn't blowing anyone to pieces

 

[Dahbomb]

Fuck I get to see Batman fuck up Superman in LIVE ACTION?

Potential movie of all time.

 

[metalslimer]

Press release;

Goyer.....FUCK FUCK FUCK!!! Hype dead this is going to be hilariously terrible.

 

[Ruze789]

Yes please!!!

And I want a whole new take on Batman!

 

[mugoldeneagle03]

I can't get it up for this one yet...No doubt will destroy the BO but idk what's going on with that batman logo. That's like an Adam West style logo...Almost too cartoony

Smart move for WB

 

[Parallax]

Here's hoping for a fun movie series rather than a brooding one.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Goyer's involvement deflates any excitement I would have for this. I want to be excited, but MoS pissed me off so much.

Let's see where they go for the story and villain though. And who will be bats.

 

[Seven Force]

Here's hoping for a fun movie series rather than a brooding one.

These are pretty much my hopes, as well.

 

[Shamrock7r]

Can't wait for this to come out just to read the most godawful, idiotic reasons for why they disliked the movie, if MoS is anything to go by.

 

[metalslimer]

Here's hoping for a fun movie series rather than a brooding one.

No chance.

Can't wait for this to come out just to read the most godawful, idiotic reasons for why they disliked the movie, if MoS is anything to go by.

The script was god awful

 

[Sorian]

I can't get it up for this one yet...No doubt will destroy the BO but idk what's going on with that batman logo. That's like an Adam West style logo...Almost too cartoony

Adam West confirmed to reprise his role as the caped crusader.
