Zack Snyder came onstage in the San Diego Convention Center's Hall H to tell a roaring Comic-Con audience that he will bring Superman and Batman together onscreen in the sequel to "Man of Steel." The director is working on the story with "Man of Steel" screenwriter David Goyer, who will then write the script.
Snyder kept the audience on the edge of their seats as he slowly led up to the revelation, finally having actor Harry Lennox come onstage to read a passage from the classic comic, "The Dark Knight Returns," in which Batman tells Superman to "remember the man who beat you."
The lights then went down the and the large Hall H screen lit up with the Superman logo, with the Batman logo appearing behind it.
"Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill will return as Superman, along with "Man of Steel" cast members Amy Adams, Diane Lane and Laurence Fishburne, but who will play Batman is yet to be revealed. "Dark Knight" star Christian Bale will not feature in this film, which is expected to arrive in the summer of 2015.."Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan and his wife/partner Emma Thomas will serve as executive producers.
