If you thought that The Dark Knight and the Man of Steel had put all of their differences aside once they realised their mothers share the same name then think again, as it seems the two will also come into conflict in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
“There’s pretty much an argument between [Superman] and Batman as to who is the leader,” said Man of Steel star Henry Cavill in an interview with Total Film.
Of course, it’s more than likely that this argument will lead to some banter and verbal sparring between the two heroes, rather than the full-blown fisticuffs we saw in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
