Downey Jr., back as Iron Man for Avengers 2 and 3, but nothing about Iron Man 4.

Man of Steel 2 will have an appearance by Batman according to Zach Snyder at ComicCon (apparently they are going to be fighting each other in some capacity).  No mention of who would play Batman, but this seems to tie in with DC Comics goal of the Justice League movie (even if they do start off at odds with each other).

no Christian Bale , and Man of Steel's storyline was very lackluster

I like to read graphic novels but dont enjoy superhero films.

I think it is because I enjoy the comic art and the comic medium more than the "brand" of characters.  I dont feel that comics translate to film well. 

I like superhero cartoons though.

Comics are the mythology of today.   Superman is a modern Hercules and Batman a modern Odysseus.

Josh Brolin is the frontrunner for Batman.

I'm pumped for Ant Man.

I am also confused as to how Ant Man isn't in the Avengers movie but the bad guy is going to be Ultron, who was created by Ant Man.

Most recent theory I've heard on that, is Tony Stark creating Ultron.

Yeah the picture of Ultron looks a lot like the Iron Man mask so it would make sense.

I also recall someone in an interview, be it someone from Marvel or someone working on the movie, saying something along the lines of "maybe Antman doesn't create Ultron".

But that's obviously as vague as it gets

Another person went as far as to predict Iron Man would sacrifice himself to kill Ultron -> Exit RDJ. Though I could see that happen, I wouldn't go so far as to consider it a rumour.

Ultron is the creation of Hank Pym,

That would be Antman who is yet to be in a movie but it is slated in 2015.   Of course, the movies may ignore the comics.

Did some research (read: I went to wikipedia)

In this animation, Tony Stark creates Ultron:

Ultron taking over Iron Man's suit:

And @Celtics4ever; I think Moranis and me were referring to this little nugget:

At San Diego Comic-Con International 2013, Joss Whedon and Kevin Feige confirmed that Ultron will be introduced as the villain in the Marvel Studios film Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron.[59][60] Whedon also confirmed that Hank Pym will not be involved with the creation of the film version Ultron

From here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultron#Film

And there you go. Tony Stark seems highly likely.

Movies are different from comics.  Nick Fury was a white guy for ywars in the comics.

James Spader cast as Ultron for Avengers 2: Age of Ultron.
