The Hollywood Reporter and Los Angeles Times report Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman, but it is unclear who will play Batman in the new film. Especially seeing how Christian Bale has said his days in the batsuit are behind him. A release date of 2015 has been set, with tentative plans for a Flash movie appearing in 2016 and a Justice League movie in 2017, sources said.
The Batman & Superman film is an interesting zigzag as D.C. builds toward a Justice League movie. Many fans expected D.C. to work toward its team movie with films featuring individual heroes, the way Marvel has done with "Thor," "Captain America" and then "The Avengers," or the opposite: one big movie leading to individual outings.

It'll be interesting to see how Snyder, Goyer and Nolan play with the storyline because Batman and Superman have such a long history of teaming up in the comic book universe. Starting in 1954, D.C. published a comic titled "Worlds Finest," which featured the two as best pals who joined forces.

With Frank Miller's 1986 "The Dark Knight" mini-series the dynamic between the two heroes have changed. The two were on opposite sides of the philosophical and political fence. Maybe we will see this strain in the film?
It's too early to know what plot line the feature will actually have. We will keep you updated on all the news.
