Is coming.

- Zack Snyder directs
- Henry Cavill
- Haven't cast Batman
- They read one of the seminal quotes from The Dark Knight Returns, to set the vibe of the movie

I'm conflicted whether I want Bale for Batman in this. On the one hand, a new Batman kinda requires the movie spend a chunk of wasteful time establishing the actor as Wayne and Batman. But on the other, I don't feel Bale can convey a cynical enough old guy if they're doing Dark Knight Returns like conflict. I'd almost want a 1980s-era Clint Eastwood for that  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

On the Superman side though, that seems perfect.

I don't want to see Bale in this, I want to Dark Knight Trilogy to remain complete and brilliant, and completely untarnished by the stupidity that is superman.

This sort of stuff gets too much into comic book wankery which has no appeal to me at all.

I don't think the Nolan Batman would fit into the new Superman world.  I mean he got his ass beat by Bane who was just a normal muscle bound dude.  What's he gonna do against anyone with superpowers.  He's never made to out to be super smart like Batman is in the comics, they pretty much had Luscious Fox give him most of the tech he used in the movies.  Although he was able to modify some of the stuff, the base for everything was already laid out for him.

They really can't do it as pure Miller--that only works if you've got characters with tons of history with each other. Skipping ahead to the future of Man of Steel and making the Cavill Superman a flunky for the US government doesn't have any bite or wit to it. I'm guessing they're going to go with "Batman needs to take down Superman for some good reason, once he's taken down they team up against a common enemy [likely Luthor]" where all they're going to rip off from Miller is the way that the battle in DKR goes down.

What Khaldun said. There's no way this can be at all related to the DKR. Batman and Superman fight due to a contrived misunderstanding, then put aside their differences to beat Lex Luthor's giant robot or some shit.

The vibe of the movie is going to be the same as in all of Snyder's other movies.

This is going to be terrible and cost a fortune.  Right now I'd put it at a toss-up between this and Guardians as the movies that burst the superhero bubble.

This could be true, but its going to make a bajillion (that's right, I said bajillion with a J) dollars.

I'm actually kinda psyched about Guardians of the Galaxy.  They have a pretty good cast, plus I have more faith in Marvel when it comes to movies then I do DC.

Okay, but here is a question nobody on the intertubes has ever thought of before:  Who would actually win in a fight between Batman and Superman?  I say Supes would win, because just one grazing punch would turn Batman into blood pudding.

The whole idea of this is retarded.

Both serious and not serious at the same time, I guess.  The whole idea is silly.  I have never taken part of a Batman vs. Superman debate, because it is pants on head territory.  As is the idea for this movie.

Yeah, see, that's the whole problem right there.  Because that is his only chance.  Coincidentally, it would also be my only chance against Superman as well.  Might as well make a movie about me fighting Superman.

As to your actual point :  Yeah, pretty much the problem I've always had with Supes is it's Kryptonite or nuthin'.

Though in Red Son, the lamps trick by Soviet Bat was rather cool.

Exactly.  Minus the kryptonite, there isn't really much you can do.  He could literally beat Batman by just standing there and letting Bats punch him all day.

It isn't nearly as difficult as you make out. Superman's real weakness is that he isn't very smart.

You just give them a conflicting goal that doesn't involve punching each other.

Find the widget before the other guy.
Save the redhead vs save the blonde whoops they are mutually exclusive because.
Publish and be damned vs prevent a riot.
Rob from the rich vs don't rob from the rich.

Clearly they have to work together in act 3 anyway.

This film will still be terrible. It has superman in it for one thing.

Well, he was.  Evidently the new story is, "Oh all People from Krypton are geniuses (in the same way you're a genius to someone from 12bc) and the yellow sun power has made him able to think faster than anyone!"

Much like super-speed to rival the flash (rather than 'faster than a speeding bullet) and his ridiculous power creep in the 40's some writers thought would be a good idea to heap on him for whatever storyline they wanted to sell to the comics crowd in the 70's.  Oh he's also got an eidetic memory now.

Go back to the 30's and he's a mook who acts without thinking and relies on his strength to carry-through.

Maybe, but then that isn't really Superman VERSUS Batman.  That's more like Supes and Bats sit down for a spirited game of Parcheesi, or Chutes and Ladders.  You can't put "versus" in there unless there is some kind of fight happening.  In which case Superman could just send his blazing fast fist of steel back in time to punch Batman's mom in the uterus.

I can't believe I am doing this.

And yet every time they've clashed in the comics, he's beaten the everliving fuck out of the alien.  And it's always been funny.

The laws of narrative causality tell us Batman has to win every time. Invincible alien punching the batman is even less interesting than kryptonite. And superman outwitting batman given his physical superiority just seems unfair.

And of course the competition between these can be more interesting than a straight smack down. I concede it won't be. But there is no reason it can't be.

I remember in one of the Saturday cartoons (I forget now if it was the Batman cartoon or the Superman cartoon) there was a "Superman vs Batman" episode where it's established that Superman thinks Batman is a criminal vigilante and wants to arrest him, but Batman blackmails Superman into not messing with him by telling him that he's rigged a gadget on himself that will detonate a bomb and kill an innocent person if Supes touches him or otherwise incapacitates him.  If Superman helps him catch the villain of the week, he'll remove the bomb.  Superman verifies the truth of all this with his super polygraph powers, and agrees to be Batman's sidekick for the remainder of the episode.

At the end of the episode, Batman of course reveals that the innocent person was himself.   awesome, for real

I'm imagining that Supes is screaming out, "HARDCORE PVP!" with every punch.

Kryptonite isn't Superman's only weakness. He's always been vulnerable to magic.



Though Batman getting some magic trinkets to beat Superman with is, of course, a silly idea for this very serious topic.

Comics are strange.
