SAN DIEGO — Superman is coming back, and he’ll have a caped co-star.
“Man of Steel” director Zack Snyder made a surprise appearance at Comic-Con on Saturday to announce he is making another Superman film and it will include Batman — the first time the two superheroes will be united on the big screen.
He declined to reveal many details, saying the script is just being written. He then invited an actor onstage to read a passage to hint at the story line.
“I am the man who beat you,” read Harry Lennox, before an image of the Superman logo, backed by the Batman symbol, flashed on the screen.
Warner Bros. confirmed the first-ever pairing in a statement.
Snyder re-imagined Superman in his June blockbuster “Man of Steel,” starring Henry Cavill and Amy Adams. The film has grossed more than $630 million worldwide.
Cavill and Adams will appear in the sequel, Warner Bros. said.
Reaction to the news stunned Twitter and left fans at Comic-Con giddy.
