    Minimal. Not saying it's impossible only because it wouldn't be a stinger if it wasn't surprising.

    But minimal.

    Like, .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance of happening.

    Maybe a reference, like WayneTech on a machine, but not a full-on cameo.

    Daily Planet headline or brief paragraph about a mysterious vigilante in Gotham City. Described as monster/giant bat.

    A mention of him maybe, like Lois can say, "Well, at least Superman is better than that freak in Gotham City." That's about it.

    Kind of like this idea: Since Lois is tracking down Superman, following his acts of anonymous heroism, it makes sense she'd follow a lead like that to Gotham and the urban myth of the 'Batman'. She'll probably have a board with all evidence and headlines related to the case, showing how they connect together. I bet we get a clipping on that mentioning him.

    Maybe they'll mention him or his alter ego Bruce Wayne. Also they could show Superman flying over the Wayne Tower. Also I found http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/notyetamovie/news/?a=78988 . According to this we may get a cameo.

    This has been confirmed. Batman will indeed get a mention, but I don't think there will be an appearance.

    A mention will be cool, but I don't think a cameo would be wise. I mean, filming is over, and I don't think DC knows who they want for Batman even now! So a full cameo would fail. But, like, a Bat-message, or a shadow of Batman watching Superman as Clark Kent, would be awesome!

    I think there is a very small chance simply because everything past Man of Steel is up in the air. However, I can definitely see lots of little nods to the greater DC universe to start to set up the idea of an interconnected world between DC heroes.

    @reignmaker

    I follow Batman news pretty closely, and I've not seen any stories confirming a mention of Batman. Do you have a source?

    That is a very cool idea, but it seems like it might take away from The Man of Steel movie? I know I'd be annoyed if Batman was just off screen and I could not see him.

    @supbatz: Some rumors point is going to show us what Batman and Catwoman had been doing since they retire.

    Other rumors say he is there just chilling and is a whole new Batman, but his killing moves make other heroes join him, even from other time periods and dimensions.

    Other Rumor say when they leave the club he is dancing out there to help a hobo to make money, so the Joker joins to help

    In the moment you see a Donkey Kong is on the Wayne Tower and Batman if figthing him.

    No Caption Provided

    Superman try his best to help Batman, but he says he dont needs his help and that he better go back to Smallville or he will punch him in the face.

    Then he finds out that under the Donkey Kong costume, there is the most evil master mind ever, LADY GAGA.
