it could be done with just batman and his story not being told from the bruce wayne character standpoint.

Full disclosure...and I know risk the wrath of the forum with this statement, but I never thought Christian Bale made the best 'Bruce Wayne'....to me, he just never seemed to truly fit the part. Plus that stupid raspy voice he put on everytime he donned the cowl was cringe-worthy.
Good riddance to him I say...get a younger, hungrier actor who's willing to be Batman.

Dude, you want Dolph Lundgren to play The Batman? Really nigga. Really?
I think he means Thomas Jane
But I got a alternate idea for DC...how bout films about anti heroes
A black Adam origin film starring the rock, a lobo film and a death stroke vs film which pits him against flash or green arrow and a Wonder woman origin film shot 300 style that takes place entirely on themyscara and go head and do a green lantern 2 but better

Batman and Superman will unite on-screen for the first time in a Man of Steel sequel.
Warner Bros and DC Comics are planning to follow on from the success of this summer's Superman reboot with a team-up movie due in 2015.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Clark Kent with a new actor likely replacing Christian Bale as Batman.
Man of Steel director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S Goyer - who worked across The Dark Knight trilogy - will oversee the project with Christopher Nolan potentially taking on a producer role.
Plans for upcoming Warner Bros/DC Comics movies will reportedly be unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend. A Flash movie has been tentatively scheduled to appear in 2016 and a Justice League movie in 2017.

Update: Eric Vespe from Ain’t It Cool News seems to be confirming via Twitter:
There you go. Superman and Batman together in next movie. pic.twitter.com/cw6IuRG6TO

It’s looking pretty official now.
Original Story: Rumors have been swirling this morning from The Hollywood Reporter and The Los Angeles Times that a Superman & Batman movie would be unveiled at San Diego Comic Con today. Variety is reporting the same. Confirmation will hopefully come from Warner Bros. during a panel today at Comic Con.The film is reportedly set for a 2015 release with Zack Snyder (Man of Steel, 300, Watchmen) directing, David S. Goyer writing and Christopher Nolan producing, which is the same trinity of people that brought Man of Steel to the big screen. Rejoice or complain accordingly.
According to earlier reports on the future of the Batman franchise, Christian Bale won’t be returning as the Dark Knight (which makes sense in the current film fiction). Henry Cavill, on the other hand, will don the Superman cape once again.
Supposedly, the plan for Zack Snyder is for the Superman and Batman movie to be followed up with a Flash movie in 2016 and a Justice League movie in 2017. This would follow a similar path to what Marvel did with The Avengers, which most people assume is exactly what Warner Bros. is chasing.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of Superman, who first appeared in Action Comics #1 in 1938.

Surprised they're going with a Flash movie instead of Wonder Woman.

Diane Nelson (president of DC) said that WW is actually a top 3 priority for WB right now when it comes to bringing the DC IP's to the big screen. I'm guessing Flash and World's Finest were the only 2. TBH I'm more hyped about the possibility of a Flash movie than even World's Finest and Supes and Bats are my favorite fictional characters of all time. It's just that we've seen them enough on the big screen already even if it's not together.

I'm excited.
I don't see the appeal of the Flash though. He moves fast...that's about all I've gathered from him. He's got more useful powers than Aquaman, but Aquaman's got a more interesting backstory, although to be fair I don't the Flash's backstory..

Barry Allen and Wally West are pretty interesting characters. Of course, they're probably going with Barry with the movie since he's a part of the New 52.

I didn't know whether to put this in "DC Phase 1," thread or to start a new one. So fuck it, I'll start a new one.
Batman, Superman Will Unite for 'Man of Steel' Sequel

Batman, Superman Will Unite for 'Man of Steel' Sequel
Batman and Superman will unite for a sequel to Warner Bros.' "Man of Steel," paving the way for a "Justice League" movie, the studio announced at Comic-Con on Saturday. The news was leaked just before the panel began, but that didn't temper fans' rapturous reaction to what would be the first time the superheroes were united on screen.
Director Zack Snyder ("Man of Steel," "300") made a surprise appearance in Hall H to announce he was working on the sequel, and promised to reveal something to "inform" audience expectations. He brought out actor Harry Lennix, who read a passage from Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight" - and then the screen flashed the Superman "S" symbol, shadowed by the distinctive wings of Batman. The crowd, as they say, went wild.
Snyder and David Goyer, who wrote the first one, will write the second one, maintaining the core creative team from the summer's monster hit.
Though Snyder disclosed nothing more, Warner Bros. then sent out a press release announcing that Henry Cavill would return as Superman. Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane will repreise their roles as well. It remains unclear who will play Batman.
Christian Bale, who played Batman in Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy, has said he is done with the part.

The new film also brings back Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder as producers. Nolan and partner Emma Thomas are serving as executive producers, along with Benjamin Melniker and Michael E. Uslan.
In a prepared statement, Warner production chief Greg Silverman said: "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 superheroes to the screen in his own way."
"Superman and Batman together on the big screen is a dream come true for DC fans everywhere. All of us at DC Entertainment could not be more excited for Zack's continuing vision for the DC Universe," said Diane Nelson, president of DC Entertainment.
The success of Nolan's Batman movies made the rebirth of Superman the next logical step for Warner Bros. in its efforts to leverage the DC Comics library, which also includes iconic characters such as the Flash, the Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Aquaman.
Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" did not reinvigorate the franchise, delaying those plans for a few years. Snyder's "Man of Steel" gave Warner Bros. exactly what it wanted, grossing more than $600 million at the worldwide box office and furthering speculation that Warner Bros. would plot a multi-character "Justice League" movie.
TheWrap reported on the eve of the film's debut that Warner Bros. was planning to make a sequel to "Man of Steel" first, and then move on to "Justice League" and the other DC characters. Though early reports on Saturday indicated Warner Bros. would formally announce those plans for movies about The Flash and Justice League, the studio did not say anything beyond "Man of Steel."
Warner Bros. announced its plans for Superman and Batman on Saturday at a panel where the studio showcased seven different upcoming movies, including "Godzilla," "Lego: The Movie" and Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity."

One question that went unanswered on Saturday is whether Legendary Entertainment will be involved in any way. Legendary co-financed and co-produced the "Dark Knight" movies and "Man of Steel" under a deal it had with Warner Bros. Yet Legendary has now moved on to NBCUniversal, and the schism was evident on Saturday as Warner Bros. slotted all the Legendary movies at the beginning of the panel, and reserved the second half for its own projects.
Regardless of who makes it, it is inevitable that Cavill, Snyder and the gang will return to Comic-Con in future years, promoting what Warner Bros. hopes will become a lengthy streak of hit movies.

You got to be a comic book reader to understand. Like Aquaman the cartoons have never really done the character justice. It's more than just "he runs fast". He could vibrate through objects, he could create vortexes and many other cool sci-fi shit that has never been seen in superhero movies before.
