agreed DC has not had good luck (or made good movies outside Batman).
If Marvel can make a good Thor movie, someone should damn well better be able to make a good Superman movie, but they haven't.
Desperation move. The press release quotes the "worldwide success" of Man of Steel yet by many accounts it was a terrible movie. The DC characters have been pretty atrocious to film overall. What this amounts to is "Oh shit, Superman was a failure, we don't have a new Batman in the pipeline, Green Lantern sucked, and Wonder Woman is unfilmable. We can't do a Justice League movie on par with the Avengers so let's just throw a new Batman at the Superman sequel to generate some buzz and hope it keeps the franchises alive long enough to figure this shit out."
also for everyone comic book movie i continue to see released, i will kill a puppy.
So how could batman ever help superman. He can travel across the world in an instant and batman has no real power other than money to build things that superman doesn't need.

People need to remember that Bale already said he's not going to be Batman anymore which is a good thing. He always over acted with that horrible Bat voice and it was the directing/writing that made the movies, not Bale.
Russell Crowe as actor for the Batman in the Superman / Batman universe
choose an older actor to play up the Batman is prepared for anything angle because Batman isn't going to out athletic Superman
I agree with the poster above that this is a setup for justice league or something.
This is my assumption. Seems logical.
Have we heard of any other DC comic movies in the pipe which could also tie in? I don't recall seeing anything firm recently.

Let's see - you would need the following to make a bare bones Justice League:
* Superman
* Batman
* Wonder Woman
* Green Lantern
* Flash
* Martian Manhunter
Superman and Batman may be done, but what about the rest?

Why does everyone want Bale? Its not like he has some insanely good batman skills.
