A Superman/Batman film is coming in 2015

As long as the Bat-voice is gone...Eh, I'll still probably not watch it first run.

I think they should have given Superman a stand alone sequel before teaming him up with a new Batman----give the Nolan universe time to go quietly into the night and leave fans wanting Batman again

it works in the comics because the writers aren't so concerned about the 1970s and 80s superman movies. All the movies until MOS have followed that blueprint instead of the comics.

superman is a much darker character than batman. but everyone remembers the campy movies. imagine if Batman was only remembered for the 1960s series.

A movie would be good if done right (writers remembering that Batman will be the brains and moral compass of the duo). Supes is corruptible; Batman isn't.

 

 

Superman darker than Batman?  I was never an avid comic reader but from everything I've ever heard about Supes is that he is the ultimate good guy/protector.  That's why so many nerds bashed the Man of Steel film, because Supes allowed probably tens of thousands of people to die while he was battling Zod.

Yeah, I haven't read a lot of Superman but not a single one of the ones I've read have been darker than Batman. Zack Snyder also said that they'll be addressing Superman having to kill Zod in the sequel and I'm guessing that Batman will have something to do with that. Fanboys will bitch regardless because that's just what they do. I actually heard one say that Man of Steel was absolutely awful but that's okay because it never had a chance to live up to the Richard Donner films anyways.

Clark Kent is a wholesome, good natured farm boy raised by old folks who believe in humanity.

Kal-El is an alien from a distant planet whose parents sent him to earth so that he could survive and either rule earth or repopulate it with kryptonians (depending on the version) because they see humanity as weak.

Superman is a compromise between the two.

And the two can be separated to really show his dark side (Superman 3 tried to do this but failed).

[Cary Kollins]

According to Snyder, the new film will have Batman and Superman duking it out.  They didn't give too much away, but they presented this quote from Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns": 

 

Batman to Superman, "“I want you to remember, Clark, in all the years to come, in all your most private moments, I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you.”

 

I imagine that Batman uses kryptonite to level the playing field with Supes.

Kryptonite Codpiece.

 

 

Hmm.....brb.

[CCS]

In the comics Batman beats Superman using a kryptonite ring. Superman actually gave him the ring himself because he knew if he ever got out of hand somehow Batman would be the only person who could stop him. Batman then fakes his own death and goes underground to train a new generation of Batmen.

 

 

I doubt very seriously that's how it'll go down in the movie.

Some of the concept art looks promising...only Batman would be strong enough to carry a steeel-alien baby! It make all the sense in the world!!

I just saw this online...

 

I get it that they want to make them fight, but what is the reasoning?

 

Obviously Batman is going to be pro human, and in general he will do that's that other super heroes won't, as he is kind of THE anti-hero...

 

But why are they going to be at odds?

Going after that "Avengers" Money, I see.

 

This'll be a disgrace to the Nolan films.

just speculating here... with all the LexCorp references in MOS and Zod's battle armor being left at a LexCorp Site, maybe billionaire Lex and billionaire Bruce see Superman as some sort of threat to humanity. Lex and Bruce have the brains to figure out Superman's weakness and work together to stop him. Eventually Lex will become the villain and Bruce will realize Superman is a good guy and they go off into the sunset happily ever after.
