'Man of Steel' sequel to have Superman battling with Batman

'Man of Steel' sequel is all set to have two DC Comics superheroes - Superman and Batman - facing off against each other, reveals director Zack Snyder.
Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Clark Kent and Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane will also return for a Batman and Superman tentpole, said the Hollywood Reporter.
"I'm so excited to begin working again with Henry Cavill in the world we created, and I can't wait to expand the DC Universe in this next chapter," Snyder said in a statement.
"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," Snyder said at Comic-Con.

The film will be scripted by 'Man of Steel's David Goyer along with Snyder.
'Man of Steel' producer and 'Dark Knight' trilogy director Christopher Nolan will executive produce along with Emma Thomas, Benjamin Melniker and Michael E Uslan.
"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, DC Entertainment president, said in a statement.
The tentpole is expected to hit theatres in 2015.
