Confirmed: Nolan's Batman to Appear in Man of Steel


Across the web there are reliable sources that Nolan’s Dark Knight will appear in the Justice League movie. Perhaps 2015 is too long a time to wait? Recent post-production shots of the Man of Steel have shown some consistent Dark Knight elements. In this particular picture we see William Devine (who played the President in The Dark Knight Rises) – confirming that Nolan’s DC universe is all but one.

Like with all crossover movies, speculations exist that if Bale will make an appearance in the Man of Steel and what impact will his role have.

From a source close to the production team, “the idea (of crossovers) is to excite fans of the comics and introduce new characters to non-comic fans, perhaps Bruce wants to thank Clark for taking him back to Gotham”.
 
One thing  is for sure, Nolan creates realistic environments that tends to excite fanboys and with no “solo movies” planned for the other JL characters, Man of Steel will be the movie that leads to the 2015 Justice League movie.  Obviously we will have to wait till June to see who makes an appearances but perhaps we can get some more out of this.
 
So that’s the latest news, but in the the spirit of Easter, a very special Easter egg hides within this post – just take another look at the first letter of each sentence.
