Superman & Batman to be in same movie (23rd July, 2013)

Superman and Batman will be in the same film for the first time. The director of the Superman movie "Man Of Steel" said the movie would be out in 2015. He said fans would be happy with the new movie. Henry Cavill, the star of "Man Of Steel," will play Superman in the new film. No one knows who will play Batman. Fans are hoping for an action adventure like no other superhero film. There are no secrets about the story because it hasn't been written yet.


 
 

The movie company Warner Bros. hopes the new movie will be successful, like "The Avengers". That movie made $1.5 billion. It starred the Marvel Comics superheroes. Warner Bros. and DC Comics (owners of Superman and Batman) spent years agreeing to the new film. Director Zack Snyder said bringing the two greatest superheroes in the world together was more than "mythical". Some fans think the story needs to be extra-special to be successful.
