SDCC '13 Warner Bros/ DC Entertainment: Superman/ Batman

 So the announcement that gripped all SDCC attendees this year was the announcement of the Man of Steel sequel teased with the image to the left. While a quote from The Dark Knight Returns was read to the audience.

After long thoughts about Man of Steel and deciding that it wasn't quite the Superman film I was hoping for and also that I don't think Cavill was given the chance to really portray his Superman/ Clark Kent within all the alien confusion and building destruction. Many people are joking that this is Batman arriving to take down Superman due to this wanton destruction of Metropolis. Although I felt it did a good job of Superman's origin during the first half of the film.

But this mash up of Superman/ Batman really does get me excited and gives me hope, and is a very clever move by WB/DC to try and get its superhero franchises back in the limelight after Marvel Studios really dominating the market and with Christopher Nolan back and several of his Batman team for this sequel I can only hope this will save what began as a great return for the Man of Steel.

Below is a fan created high res logo for the image teased at Comic Con.
