WB Confirms Superman' Christmas 2012 and More!
Thu, May 27, 2010 
As first reported by IESB last month the long awaited reboot to the Superman franchise will hit theatres during December 2012. This means Warner Bros will have not only The Chris Nolan directed Batman 3 on July 20, they'll also have the Nolan produced Superman reboot six months later. Wow, talk about a fanboys wet dream.
Now WB chairman and CEO Barry Meyer has confirmed the info with Heat Vision. You can expect to see Superman return (again) for a "holiday season" 2012 release.
In addition to that great news He added that the studio is also "nearing" a greenlight for a "Flash" movie, with films featuring Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Mad magazine characters also in development. Take that Marvel!
Also one last thing I'm sure everyone's already assumed, we will in fact be getting the Sherlock Holmes sequel during Christmas 2011. The sequel is set for a December 16 2011 release. That will set it two years after the release of the first film starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, which went on to make 516 million world wide at the box office.

who cares about spidey or the avengers when we have batman and superman in the same year six mos apart!!! wow
I think alot of ppl are still excited about spiderman and avengers, regardless of batman and suoerman. That being said I do think this is awsome fuckin news!
WB/DC will own 2012 regardless of Marvels line up. Just watch.
I was being entirely serious Dave, but I do seriously doubt that spiderman will do nearly as good as it did in the past, the third one left a shitty taste in everyones mouth, just look at shrek4, and that was a sequel. As for avengers, if Ironman2 was a sign of whats to come my expectations are way down at this point.
LIke batmanfan said wb/dc will own 2012. Why? Because they're releasing two a-list characters 6 months apart, you can argue spidey is a-list but its a reboot with a smaller budget and an unknown starring.
GREAT NEWS! I can't wait to hear more about this!
