So batman in an ironman suit to make him superman strength? and what looks like an evil superman? It's that the route they are going to play? Superman turning evil? Some sort of red kryptonite kind of angle?
Could be Supes is using his heat vision to scorch Batman's pants and/or lightbulb.
It's Dark Knight Returns then.

Probably spoilery, but as I understand it:

Batman, having watched the destruction of Metropolis by these extraterrestrials with superpowers (in the Man of Steel film), decides that something must be done to stop them/him and goes head-to-head with Supes before they both realise the truth and who the real villian is.

...of course that could all be rubbish but is the current 'leaked' info.

Wasn't this the theory that was being touted around about a minute after Batman's appearance in the sequel was announced? I thought this was more fan wishful thinking rather than any leak, official or unofficial?

I suppose they do have to address the huge backlash that was caused by Superman's callous destruction of Metropolis which was totally out of character.

Not to mention the fact that he's a proven murderer.

Accused maybe, not proven.

While I did enjoy Man of Steel, I do wonder if they even considered how great a deviation from norm his actions where or where they too busy thinking "wow Zod and Superman fighting is sooo cool BUT we need to destroy some MORE buildings".

Was it part of some master plan from the beginning to give a new twist to the Superman ethos or did they realise they'd made a massive error after all the backlash and were forced to do an emergency re-write for the sequel. I hope it's the former but have absolutely no faith that Hollywood would be so clever so sadly I think it's the latter.

Indestructible super being dead with broken neck last seen fighting another indestructible super being? Thats proof in anyones book, there's not a jury in the world that wouldn't convict.

That's pre-juding, so still not proven. He may be a killer, but not a murderer.

Depends what you consider "proof" to mean. The judgement of a group of people influenced by complex laws and directions from both a judge and lawyers does not equate to proof to me.

Superman murdered Zod. Plain as day. There was no accident involved. It was wilful and deliberate.

Haven't used the term 'proof', murder is a legal term, it needs to be 'proven'. Supes killed, he hasn't been convicted of murder, if I was on the jury, perhaps I would consider manslaughter applicable, but I would vote against murder in the 1st or 2nd considering the circumstances, I'd be more inclined to go for justifiable homicide.
Superman did not murder Zod, plain as day, he killed Zod.

edited to add
"The concept of justifiable homicide in criminal law stands on the dividing line between an excuse, justification and an exculpation. In certain circumstances, homicide is justified when it prevents greater harm to innocents. A homicide can only be justified if there is sufficient evidence to prove that it was reasonable to believe that the offending party posed an imminent threat to the life or well-being of another. To rule a justifiable homicide, one must objectively prove to a trier of fact, beyond all reasonable doubt, that the suspect intended to commit violence. A homicide in this instance is blameless, and distinct from the less stringent criteria authorizing deadly force in stand your ground rulings."

Looks awesome in the top pic, less so in the others. Why isn't it black in the other pics?

Still think this is going to ruin the Batman franchise. Nolan's trilogy will stand up as the definitive portrayal of Batman on the big screen.

A good, (if flawed), portrayal, not the definitive. Hopefully that is yet to come.

I don't think it will be this one either, but i like the idea of afleck so maybe when he makes a batman movie stand alone film after this it could be good.

DC and Warner had the perfect opportunity to steal a march on their rivals at Marvel by using the same actors in the TV shows as in the films. Yet they are using a different actor for the Flash having only cast TV flash recently. One of the reasons people like the Marvel films in the idea of a shared universe. This proved popular in the comics over four decades ago.

They should have sought contracts for actors in tv and film thereby creating far better continuity and ensuring a wider audience for both. There are now Arrow, Flash and Gotham on air with Constantine about to launch.

Opportunity missed.
