What would surely (by then, at least) be a hotly anticipated showdown between the heroes of Marvel and a veritable justice league's worth of DC Comics' finest isn't going to be taking place in 2016 after all.

After having pushed back the release date for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice by nearly a year so as to make it the best Batman vs. Superman it could be, Warner Bros. announced today that the film will now be released early!

Not as early as 2015, mind you, but earlier than May 6, 2016.
