Everyone knows Batman would kick Superman's ass with his superpreparedness.

I just thought I'd get that out on the table, so we can get to our eventual 50 page argument over this. This was just the warning salvo, a shot across the bow, if you will.

This movie is going to be like porn for nerds.
Anyone can beat any character if the writer wishes it.

As someone who didn't read the comics as a kid and so most of my exposure is through the movies, I have to say the idea that Batman is even in the same world as Superman just seems weird. The idea that there would even be a contest between them in a fight is just crazy. I think a Batman vs Superman movie is just going to seem silly as fuck.

Teaming up, sure. The Avengers worked great, teaming up different levels of superheros with each other. Against each other? No way it doesn't seem stupid as fuck and just a total appeasement to comic nerds like Lyrical.

My wild guess at how they'll get Batman to fight Superman will probably involve the insane destruction Superman inadvertantly caused. Batman will see Superman as a threat to humanity and try to rein him in a bit. It will also probably involve Lex Luthor taking advantage of the destruction in the first movie to make money rebuilding, and ultimately he'll be revealed as the real villain and Superman and Batman will team up to take him down.

If it is a batman vs superman, I am very curious how they do it. With the last 3 movies for batman, hes just been fighting basic criminals and psychopaths. Not sure how they will get him to the ability to fight a actual super powered being, especially since there has been no notion of "super preparedness" shown in the 3 batman movies.
Lolkryptonite. Batman will probably discover it towards the beginning of the movie.

im curious though, why would batman ever want to fight superman? superman isnt even aggressive like that. if batman came at him all swingy and fisty, superman would just chuckle and say, "run along bruce, there is a crime happening across gotham that will take you a half hour to get to while i can be there like NOW"
Have you read the Dark Knight Returns or watched the recently released animated version (parts 1 and 2?) It is written by Frank Miller and IMO it is the best comic story i have ever read. I am so pumped they made an animated movie out of it.

Here is the Batman Vs Superman fight

*If you have not seen this, head to TPB and get the whole thing BEFORE You watch this.

Enjoy in all its super-preparedness glory, (even tho these clips dont show the best parts of this preparations.)

They'll probably bring Joseph Gordon-Levitt to be Batman after setting him up to be, uh, Robin or something except he like owns the Batcave now or whatever? Makes perfect sense, should be some fine cinema.

As an aside, I hope they set this movie in Baltimore. That's a city that needs destroying and nothing of value will be lost.

I thought he was going to end up being Nightwing.

But if its based off the MoS re-boot, there is no kyrptonite.

Havent read dark knight returns, but I have watched the first part of the animated movie. Is superman in pt 2? I thought pt 1 ended with the joker watching tv or something.

Why is anyone excited about this? Snyder doesn't know how to develop characters. Man of Steel is pure trash.

I'd like to see a bona fide Batman reboot. Nolan didn't do that superhero justice.

Events of man of steel set it up nicely for a large part of earth to hate/mistrust superman.
