Bryan Singer interested in Batman vs Superman
 

http://www.superherohype.com/news/su...ws.php?id=4468

I think Singer would do a great job with a Batman/Superman movie... but Batman being a bad guy? I don't think so. They should work together against the Joker and Lex Luthor.

or they should fight a group (or a duo at least) but since Batman is rather....human it will probably consist b-man flying on Superman's for half of the movie after his plane gets fucked up.

Classic "vs" comic plot.

Hero A meets Hero B. They disagree. The fight. Witty banter. Villian C shows up. Kicks both their asses. Hero A and Hero B put aside differences, defeat Villian C and gain a mutual understanding of each other. Form Partnership D.

I would be shocked, shocked, if it is indeed made (which is another big "if". Routh has gone on record saying that he does not want a movie in which Batman/Superman are adversaries) that they are actually fighting. It will more likely be a Batman/Superman than a Batman vs Superman.

it's a well known fact that Batman would kick his boy-scout ass

I would like Bryan Singer to do something else than movies containing capes and pantyhoses. Usual Suspects and Apt Pupil were some pretty interesting movies (usual Suspects rocked the thriller genre), but specializing himself into that recent hype is kind of a talent waste. While I still like X-Men (and maybe Superman later, who knows), I keep hope for a change of direction and movie genre for this talented director.

I think Singer is a fool to even think about it...

Why the hell we would ever need a Batman vs Superman movie??

Why did we need an Alien Vs Predator movie?

After a few Batman and Superman movies, they should do "The Dark Knight Returns' storyline. Such a great 'Batman VS Superman' story!

Or hey, we could try something, I dunno, ORIGINAL FOR ONCE.

No, that wouldn't work =]

It actually would've been decent if Paul Anderson didn't piss all over the time line of Alien and Predator and maybe take on a comic series.

Batman vs. Superman? Nah...How about Superman and he gets killed by Doomsday. That would be awesome.

I'm just waiting for these superhero movies to acknowledge other superheroes in the world. They hardly ever mention the hundreds of thousands of other superpowered people anymore.

Superman is turned by the red kryptonite. The only one that can stop him: Batman with the green kryptonite...buff, we have already seen that..
An adaptation of the death of Superman or Kingdom Come would be great though...

Usually because other characters are mixed up with other production companies. Notice how Daredevil never metions Spider-Man even though Joey Pants's character (originally) works for the Daily Bugle?

Superman Returns mentioned Gotham in a report on where Supeman had been sighted. Perry White also tells Jimmy to get those pictures from that "clown massacre". There is only one killer clown that I can think of in the DC Universe.

Hey, I was extremely excited when I heard about that movie being a possibility. Of course, I was about nine or ten, so go figure. If this shit´s going to happen, it´ll be at least ten years from now knowing how these fuckers work.

Except for the fact that Doomsday fucking sucks. The only prupose of the character was to kill Superman. No characterization, no facial expressions, no dialogue. Nothing whatsoever beyond killing Superman. A MacGuffin doesn't make a comic book plot, much less a movie's.

Superman vs Batman? I'd like to see it happen, but I'm not especially hyped that Singer might be involved. I thought the first 2 X-men movies were decent, and that Superman Returns was pretty good, but pulling off Batman vs Superman in a classy way is out of his league. I just don't think that his character dev is good enough. Also, if they keep the current actors for the characters, Routh is going to appear way too wooden next to Bale.

Other directors that I think could do it better include, Sam Raimi and... Peter Jackson. I'd like to see Jackson take on some comic intellectual property. Raimi's done a great job thus far on the Spidey flicks, and Jackson can make old ladies cry for a giant CG gorilla.

Oh, well, shit - Batman/Superman was in the same production purgatory as Freddy/Jason. I remember hearing rumors about both of them when I was in 5th grade (1991)

In a perfect world, Bryan Singer would make a movie that would shove that Christ analogy down a different hole. Jimmy Olson would be Judas or something.

A Justice League movie, please.

As long as Paul Anderson isn't part of the credits, I am happy. I am not too happy with Singer either. I just wish they made a good and dark comic book movie like what Nolan did to Batman Begins.

Batman vs. Superman eh? No wouldn't work. Pure fan cash milking is all it'd come to in the end.



Yet sadly, and tell me the truth: You'd all go to still see it whether it sucked or not, right? Don't lie.

And that, friends, is why it will almost certainly have to be made!



Damn commercialism.

I think we need at least a sequel from both franchises first, to make it seem like there's a deep enough story to warrant a team-up.

Pretty decent idea, but only if it's on an epic "Batman has Superman trumped" scale, which could potentially change the probability of further sequels for both franchises. I can't wait to have to justify Batman not calling Superman to handle his problems in future films.

The problem with such a prospect is that neither side could win. If Superman won, people would complain. If Batman won, people could complain. There has to be a villain. Either it's a villain that mind controls one into fighting the other somehow or it's a villain that has a plan that would require at least two heroes to stop.

I missed the latter. Superman Returns wins for that alone.

i,for one, second this opinion. i'd love to see "The Dark Knight Returns" storyline, preferably done with Nolan as director; I really like the way "Batman Begins" was done.

but it'd probably be 10 years later after the franchise has been shot to hell.

Acid already mentioned the stuff in Superman Returns, but wasn't there also a road sign in Batman Begins that pointed towards Metropolis? I swear I remember Metropolis being mentioned in one of the Batman films - I'm probably getting them mixed up.

Concerning "Batman vs. Superman"... eh, I'll believe when I see it. I wonder if Christian Bale would even go for that.

Don't we already have a Batman/Superman movie? I think it was called 'World's Finest'. TAS ftw.

In Batman Forever, after Bruce takes Dick in (giggle) and he's about to leave he says "the circus must be halfway to Metropolis by now".

I think Bale has more sense than to go for something like this. He's always said he doesn't act for the money and has turned down major roles in the past that would've made him piles of cash. If the script/plot is shit, he won't do it. As for Routh, well, i'm kinda sick of seeing super "men" being depicted as super "boys" with their hollywood-waxed emasculated looks. So no, I wouldn't watch such a movie; i'm not too keen on the current superman in case anyone hadn't noticed :P.

Well,it's not like Superman has been clean-shaven for 68 years or anything.

I was talking more of a recent trend, since "Lois and Clarke" or whatever it was called. Here in England it was called "The New Adventures of Superman". Dean Cain is a pretty boy, but not as pretty as Routh or the guy from "Smallville". I mean, slap on some chaps and a cowboy hat and you've got the missing member of the Village People.

Agreed, that was awesome. I never seen Supes take a beating like that ever. :rock:

Why did they ever make a Freddy vs Jason?

I oppose the Batman/Superman movie but considering Hollywood... Comic book movies are a BIG hit and they're going to keep going at it, so comic hero crossover stories are very likely... There haven't been any movies like that yet but I'm sure they gonna do it soon..

How could you have a Batman v.s. Superman movie? I mean, I'm not too keen on comics, but wouldn't Superman OWN Batman?

I mean, the way I look at it, Superman can't be hurt by anything that's not kryptonite. Batman, on the other hand, is just a man with gadgets.

...come on.

Batman has owned Supes on many occasions. Yeah, he's a man with gadgets, but he's willing to take it one step further that Supes ever would. Read The Dark Knight Returns or Batman: Hush and watch the worlds greatest detective beat the snot out of supes.

Superman has also given Batman kryptonite incase he ever went rogue. Batman has synthesized more of it.

I want to point out that Hush didn't so much contain a smackdown, but Batman evading him long enough to "heal" him.

He cracked him with a kryptonite ring, blasted him with hypersonics, blinded him, zapped him with the entire Metropolis power grid, and threw his woman off a building.

I'd say that's a smackdown.

But essentially couldn't Superman just sneak up on Batman and crush him with like one hit?

Batman is the sneaky one, so he'd totally know if someone was coming up on him.

Yes. But Batman had contingency plans in place to prevent anything like that from ever happening.

Also, no one can sneak up on Batman. If he can sneak up on Clark, Clark can't sneak up on him.

Bryan Singer should have stuck with X-Men and not have caused the 3rd film to be screwy.

There was no need to revive this thread for such a weak post.
