The sequel to Superman movie 'Man Of Steel' will include Batman – the first time the two superheroes have met on the big screen. The news was revealed by Man Of Steel director Zack Snyder during a surprise appearance at San Diego's Comic-Con, the largest annual gathering of fans of the comic book genre.
After announcing the plan to bring the two superheroes together, he issued a statement revealing the two would be fighting each other, and conceded this might surprise some.
Zack Synder reunite with his "Man of Steel" stars including Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.
"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, who was a surprise guest at the pop culture convention, 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."

"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 DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson in a statement.
It is, however, still unknown who will be tapped to play Batman. Recently, "Spartacus" star Liam McIntyre expressed his interest to replace Christian Bale who revealed that "The Dark Knight Rises" would be his last film as Bruce Wayne earlier this month.
"Oh my god. So there's going to be a new Batman. It's time to dream big," McIntyre tweeted.
"In the world in my head where I do get cast, my main concern for @ZackSnyder is that Batman and Superman would be playing WoW all day."
Fans will first see both heroes joining forces in Warner Bros.' animated film "The Lego Movie" on February 7, 2014.
