Superman and Batman are to appear in the same film for the first time, it has been revealed, to the delight of many fans of the popular characters.

The surprise announcement was made by Zack Snyder, who directed the most recent Superman film Man of Steel.

But speaking at a comic convention in San Diego, California, Mr Snyder said the script was still being written.

Production is expected to begin next year and the film is scheduled for release in the summer of 2015.

Warner Bros confirmed that the two superheroes would team up for the first time.

British actor Henry Cavill - who starred in Man of Steel - will again play Superman.

However, an actor for the new Batman is yet to be cast.

"They're both alpha males," fan Benjamin Ha was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. He added that he expected fireworks in the new film.

For many comic book enthusiasts it is a dream come true in what promises to be the ultimate superhero adventure, the BBC's Peter Bowes in Los Angeles reports.

The enduring popularity of Superman and Batman has seen the latest films featuring the two characters earn revenues of more than $1bn (£655m) between them.

I was never a comic book fan but isn't the DC universe supposed to be separate for the characters unlike marvel which has all the characters in one universe? I think this is asking for trouble, probably shame the excellent batman trilogy.

[aloogobee]

Yeah i agree this looks like a recipe for disaster.

[Zippeyrude]

batman doesnt have superpowers so technically i wouldnt classify him as a superhero (yes, just like ironman)

[reverend]

Isn't this just a forerunner to the Justice League film they want to do?

Hope he does a better job of it than the steaming pile that man of steel was.

always knew this was going to be in the works since I saw this in I am Legend way back....

[THX]

Cant wait for the love scene

[Shotgunjim]

I think that they will use this to test the waters on making a Justice League film... there are only about 5 established DC characters in terms of films. The only reason anyone about about the others is down to Smallville... big risk with a new batman also...

Now that's an eye for detail to remember that mate ;-)

Yeah Man of Steel was pretty poor :-(

Scariest part about that picture is that it's the actual Man Of Steel logo that was used in the latest movie.

How long ago was I am Legend??

2007, so 6 years ago now

That does make it quite interesting if that is indeed the correct logo which I'm 90% sure it is. The batman one does however look shit

[akimba]

In I am Legend its more the superman returns logo (film out 2006) Rather than Man of Steel :-(

I think we all know this will be wank as much as we really want it to work..

Alien v Predator movies showed that it does not really work... Although I would be interested to see if they could make Robocop v Terminator work.

[Gereire]

Am a fan of the Batman movies, but never really got into Superman myself,

It is a strange one, I'm not even sure how it can work, I think it will be a disaster.

Christian Bale not being Batman too will be hard to overcome.

[Mr.James]

Batman vs superman has been done loads in the comics... And Batman usually kicks supes ass.

The avengers movie worked real well, can't see why this wouldn't.
