Superman and Batman's big screen team-up has been delayed by almost a year, film studio Warner Bros has confirmed.

Originally scheduled for July 2015, the superhero set-to will now appear on 6 May, 2016.

A sequel to 2013's Man of Steel, the as-yet-untitled film sees Ben Affleck stepping into the Batman role, next to British actor Henry Cavill's Superman.

It was reported the delay was triggered by Affleck sustaining a leg injury, but that has been dismissed by the studio.

The film has recently gained a third superhero - with Fast and Furious star Gal Gadot signed up to play Wonder Woman.
