'Justice League' release date, cast news, plot spoilers: Batman and Superman to fight over leadership

Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) might be getting into another conflict in deciding who leads the Justice League. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor, played by Jesse Eisenberg, and Queen Hippolyta, portrayed by Connie Nielsen, will appear in the film.

The upcoming DC Comics film directed by Zack Snyder will follow Batman and his mission in creating the band of heroes known to be called the Justice League. Batman will ask for the help of Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), whom he already met in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," in recruiting other superheroes to prepare for the biggest villain yet.

Batman will form the Justice League in the absence of Superman, but it is anticipated that Superman will come back to life and join their fight to defend the earth. When Superman returns, it seems like the two will get into another big fight; only this time, it will be about who can lead the Justice League better.

When Jimmy Kimmel had Cavill as his guest, the Superman actor told the late night show host that "There's pretty much an argument between him and Batman as to who is the leader," Comicbook confirms.

The actor did not elaborate on the details of his character and Batman's fight, as Kimmel made a joke about the two having sexual tension between them.

Meanwhile, characters from other DC movies are crossing over, and they will be playing a part in the upcoming "Justice League."

Variety confirmed that Lex Luthor and Queen Hippolyta, who will be first introduced in the "Wonder Woman" film, are set to appear in Snyder's "Justice League." But details of their appearances are kept under wraps.

But Cosmicbook reports that the Arkham Asylum, the prison where Luthor was brought in from "Dawn of Justice," is expected to be one of Snyder's locations in "Justice League." Two Arkham guards have been added on to the list of cast members on the film's IMDb page, which indicates that this where Eisenberg as Luthor first appears.

"Justice League" premieres on Nov. 17.
