| "Justice League could be great if done correctly," said Cavill. "It's a very tough one to do because the DC Comic heroes are all god-like in their power.

| Warner has been planning a Justice League film for the best part of a decade. A version from Mad Max's George Miller, which would have starred The Social Network's Armie Hammer as the caped crusader, was canned in 2010. Warner's DC universe currently features only Superman, a Batman who has reached the end of his cycle (thanks to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy) and a Green Lantern whose film was hated by critics. | Warner has been planning a Justice League film for the best part of a decade.

| Man of Steel, written by The Dark Knight's David S Goyer, and with Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300) in the director's chair, has so far made just over $400m worldwide and looks on course to be one of the year's highest-grossing films. A second Man of Steel film is being fast-tracked into production. | Man of Steel, written by The Dark Knight's David S Goyer, and with Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300) in the director's chair, has so far made just over $400m worldwide and looks on course to be one of the year's highest-grossing films.
