Probably for the best to avoid competition from Avengers 2, Jurassic World and Fast and Furious 7 and to polish the script more since the brought the guy who wrote Argo to help with the script.

I actually thought they were rushing the movie I'm glad they've delayed it to hopefully get it right. This is DC trying to do what Marvel has done, so hopefully they pull it off.

I liked Man of Steel a whole lot, so I'm fine with them making this the best it can be. Though most of what I liked was the fact that it was a crazy alien invasion story.

Really curious which villain they would go with. Probably Braniac. I don't know how Batman would fit in vs. Darkseid or Doomsday or something. Maybe he can help fight a computer man.

I think it'll probably be Lex and some other villain thrown in. Can't imagine anyone from Batman's rogues gallery would be in it. Unless they shift it from Superman sequel involving other people to a full on World's Finest deal.

@mercutio123: World's Finest crossed my mind, too.

Lex has to be in it, but if they try to go bigger than the first it'll include one of Superman's overpowered villains. In any case, I can at least say I'm interested how this turns out.

Sounds good to me! They're not going to get a whole lot of shots at this, so they really have to get it right the first time. Glad to hear that it's for script purposes too. I did not care for Man of Steel, but I think Zack Snyder's a decent director when he's got a good script to work from.

Good. Rushing this kind of summer blockbuster was never a good idea. Get that script in order and you might just have a decent movie.

I wish they would just lift the plot of The Dark Knight Returns verbatim, but that would require Superman to kinda do nothing for the first like 80% of the movie, so they're probably not going to do that.

I can't say I have high hopes for this movie.

They should make a Batman movie first. You know, establish both characters/actors so that this Batman doesn't seem like an outsider or extra with a thin background. Then again, I never liked the idea that Gotham is in the same universe as Metropolis.

The problem with Man of Steel was that what Jorel was doing was way way way more interesting than what Sups was doing. They also probably need a plot that is more interesting than "aliens (again!) invading (again?) trying to enslave the humans (again...)" so if they need to delay it to address these issue they should go for it.

I think if they'd done a Batman movie first, then a Superman movie, then Batman vs. Superman, that would've worked fine. But if Warners is going to insist on doing an interconnected DC universe, I don't see how they can now make a standalone Batman movie that doesn't address the existence of Superman. They either need to keep the films separate as they've always done, or they need to do Batman/Superman next. Making a Batman movie between Man of Steel and Superman/Batman doesn't really work, in my opinion.

Hmm, that's good to see. Hopefully it'll be better than Man of Steel. That movie was a mess.

I am glad that they are taking their time with this movie.
