Detective Comics Cinematic Universe (formerly Man of Steel)
Edguy:
That's probably far from decided. Hopefully they are aware that the (re-)casting of Bruce Wayne/Batman will be a big deal on the internet's hype machine. Casting could be vital to whether the public accepts a re-imagining of the Dark Knight, or not.
Kugai:
The interesting part of that is whether they'll - once again - reboot the Batman character, or roll over from the end of Dark Knight Rises.
Method of Madness:
Wait, is anyone actually thinking they won't reboot? Then again, it would be a way to avoid doing another origin movie, if they could get JGL as Batman. I just don't see them doing that, though.
Edguy:
Nolan's trilogy was just that; a trilogy, and it's over now. That has been confirmed by pretty much every person who was ever attached to anything. it also would make no sense, neither for the DC cinematic universe, or for Nolan's Batman universe, to mash the two together. There's still a lot of people of the internet who refuse to face this, though.
Also, they wouldn't have to do an origin movie to introduce Batman. Everybody and their mom knows his story by now, and it would be more fitting with a Bruce Wayne that's been in the business for a few years, when considering JL and the fact that he'll appear in the Man of Steel sequel ;)
All we need is some exposition in the first act of MoS II, telling of some vigilante that has been dealing with the mob in Gotham.
Lupercal:
Probably not a coincidence that Bale has recently said he's not reprising his role. A good call because Nolan's universe basically got rid of anything supernatural - the brilliance of the brooding, self-destructive Batman Bale portrays is that he really could be anyone and the things that we see villians get up to - especially the Joker - could almost certainly happen in the real world. If you start to bring aliens and superpowers into it then the suspension of disbelief is lost, never to be recovered.
A lot of people will point to Joseph Gordon-Levitt for the Batman role - I've also heard Cumberbatch come up. The trick will be if they choose to use someone fairly unknown or not. Karl Urban might work. I think there's a workaround for the "origins" deal if you don't have about thirty-thousand flashbacks like Snyder did in MOS.
