Batman vs. Superman

[kriss emmett]

I think that the batman .v. superman film wont see the two superheros battling each other but will see them team up the versus bit of the title just being more of an exiting title than batman and superman.

i also think that this could lead to a movie of the justice league which i personaly would love to see.

Huh. As it turns out, Kris' idea is right. Apparently Supes and Batman will be investigating the same evil, only in their very different ways, meaning they'll be at each other's throats, until the end when they must team up to fight the common enemy. This was reported on MTV and corroborated on several websites. Maybe Lex Luthor and The Joker will team up or something.

Waaaaht? Luthor and the Joker has been done, on the toon. So? Its the character bits that make such stories work. Luthor being frosted by the Jokers attitude and sense of "Humor". Superman and Batman arguing over who's method is best. I don't realy take much stock in this idea. But, we'll see.

I find it odd that after the phenomenal successes of Spider-man and X-Men that DC comics would choose this route.  Both movies adapted classic, tried tested and true stories and rivalries from well written comic books.  Both Batman and Superman have great on-going stories that would be a breeze to adapt.  For Batman alone there's Year One, Dark Knight Returns (they could even have Superman), The Killing Joke, and countless others.  I find where all the Batmans went astray (that's right, I don't really like any of them) is they took characters from the comic, and changed them into less interesting characters.  Joker's backstory was totally changed to make him a villian before he even became the Joker and the Penguin was a mess.  And now they are doing a vs. story.  They should learn from Marvel and get great directors to tell stories that the fans would approve of.

Superman has the power the move planets......

Batman has the power to......throw a hook and climb walls......

Still, I give the edge to Batman.

He was always thinking...while Superman just seemed to pick up big stuff and throw it.
