Batman is the villain? No thanks.

 

["Iron Man"]

Batman is NOT the villain. Both he and Superman are the heros.

The story for BVS is this "5 years after the death of Robin, Bruce Wayne and his fiance' Elizabeth are living peacefully in Gotham, and Bruce is done being Batman. But when The Joker suddenly reappears in Gotham, Bruce once again dons the cape, and goes after Joker, who kills Elizabeth. Clark Kent/Superman comes to Gotham to make sure Batman doesn't become a brutal killer, and thus, BVS begins! Unbeknownst to all of them, Lex Luthor is behind the ressurection of The Joker."

That is how it should go ^^^^

Another problem is that Singer (no offense bud) would probably focus more on Supes than Batman. It's not Supes movie, it's Batman and Supes movie.

I never liked that idea. I prefer a much more mature and sophisticated version of The World's Finest.




I love NIN though

That's the plot summary from the old, unused script, right? I could see it being something LIKE that, but not quite that. I'm not sure if they're ever going to introduce Robin, so that may not work. Also, I know that script was a continuation of the old Batman series, so it had the Joker dead and all that. I would much rather them not have the Joker die in the sequel. Maybe just have Luthor orchestrate his escape from Arkham.

 

[Mee]

Yeah that's the story from Wolfgang Peterson's movie. Singer would probably bring his own idea. I'd like to think he could do it well, but I dunno if he could do Batman justice.

 

[Dr. Fate]

I don't care much for the idea of Batman fighting Superman.

 

[Ben Urich]

Just have Luthor manipulate Wayne into thinking Superman is a menace. Batman and Superman fight a few times, Batman figures out he's being manipulated, they take down Luthor.
The end.

 

[Mee]

I'd sort of like to see a fight like in the cartoon World's Finest or maybe Hush, but not the whole movie.

 

[hippie_hunter]

If Singer gets involved with the movie, Warner Bros would probally get Nolan in it too.

Doesn't work out.
Bruce would never listen to anyone else
He's the world's greatest detective and he won't be easily fooled.

I like Bryan Singer, but I don't want him directing a Batman vs Superman movie. Or it can be a collaboration between Nolan and Singer.

In my mind, Luthor can outsmart anyone. But that's just my view.

 

[GL1]

And Batman ALREADY doesn't trust Superman, see OMAC Project and Tower of Babel. Batman being a "not-to-bad" villain is straight out of the comic books, people.

LEAVE IT TO CHRISTOPHER NOLAN GOD DAMNIT

If I can be totally tasteless for a minute, Singer you son of a b*tch, if you touch this movie I'll kill you. Me, killing you, remember it. Leave this film to Nolan and Goyer, don't you or your pathetic lackeys Harris and Dougherty get near this precious piece of work, we don't need two and a half hours of nothing, just plain and simply mother *****ing nothing.

Nolan will own your god damn, mother *****ing soul Singer and you better remember that. Go make Logans Run and stay the ***** away from Batman. You have no right, no god damn right, to ***** on what Nolan has started, just like you ***** on everything that has helped the character of Superman evolve post-Donner.

DO NOT HARM BATMAN!

 

[dnno1]

I would prefer to see Superman vs. The Hulk.

 

[ReptileOrion]

I think that was the final straw....I am truly convinced that Bryan Singer is a freaking idiot. He needs to stay the heck away from comic book movies.....

 

[Shuley]

Bryan Singer isn't to blame...the horrible screenwriters are. Singer is a good director.

 

[Mee]

Pretty cool, but no way it comes out in '08.

 

[Ben Urich]

I don't understand the Singer hate, but maybe that's because I liked Superman Returns

 

[chiefchirpa]

Batman as the hero would make a far interesting story than the villain. He's the human underdog and has to work his ass off fighting against an invincible alien.

I don't know what the average movie-goer would deem a viable reason for a confrontation between these two characters in the silver screen, I'm of the opinion a World's Finest movie is the way to go, but since this is where the franchise is heading, the following is my synopsis for Baman vs Superman:

The ever-ambitious Lex Luthor attempts to expand his ever-increasing empire by flexing his business muscles in Gotham City, aggressively pursuing the acquisition of Wayne Enterprises, or at the very least, a merger. Bruce Wayne, of course, wants no part of it. However, after countless refusals, the ever persistent Luther forces the issue by arranging an attack on Wayne Manor, carried out by Gotham's most feared criminals; Arkham Asylum's inmates. During the siege, Bruce's closest friend and father-figure; Alfred, Bruce's wife; Selina, and their 10 year old son; Thomas, die by the hand of Luther himself, which Bruce is witness to. At that very moment, the GCPD arrive in response to the breakout at Arkham Luther facilitated. This in turn allows Bruce, barely alive; to flee to the Bat Cave, but Wayne Manor is destroyed in the ensuing battle. Luther flees the scene of the crime without being identified by anyone other than Bruce. The incident is deemed by the GCPD and the media as an orchestrated act of revenge by a group of twisted criminals on the son of the man, Thomas Wayne, who funded the place of their perpetual torment. The aftermath of these events sees Bruce hit rock bottom, becoming severely depressed and as a result, Wayne Enterprises suffering from his uncharacteristically unsound business decisions. The whole ordeal eventually sends him over the edge, forcing him to do things he swore never to do. Bruce contemplates taking his own life, coming painstakingly close, before deciding instead to fake his own death and leave Gotham City. For a long time, he keeps a low profile; enough to disappear from people's minds, during which he re-trains his body, mind and spirit before eventually reappearing in Metropolis. Once there, Bruce begins to systematically take LexCorp apart, his final goal being the death of a penniless Lex Luthor at the hands of Batman. Star reporters from The Daily Planet, Lois Lane & Clark Kent, are all over LexCorp's economic freefall, which unbeknownst to them is the fruit of Batman's genius plan. The trail leads the pair all the way back to Gotham City, home of the 'late' Bruce Wayne. After putting all the pieces of the puzzle together, they come to the conclusion it is up to Superman to put a stop to the assassination of Lex Luthor by one of the most legendary crime fighters of all time; Batman. Superman knows that physically, he is Batman's superior in every aspect, but can he defeat a man whose intellect is only rivaled by the very man he is trying to assassinate, Lex Luthor, and whose greatest physical weapon lies not in his strength, speed or reflexes, but in his mastery of the art of stealth? Meanwhile, back in Metropolis, Luthor has become aware of who is behind his misfortune, and in his desperation after arriving to the conclusion Batman will not stop until he is ruined, arranges for Gotham's most feared criminals to be transferred to a facility in Metropolis from Arkham Asylum to once again do his bidding. Luther pays them handsomely, beyond their wildest dreams, after which they are set loose upon a city that is naive to the extent of their madness, under strict orders to work together and do whatever it takes to put an end to the Batman. However, Luther and his newly hired band of twisted mercenaries are unaware that the Batman they are dealing with is a completely different beast than they are accustomed to. Before they realise what they are up against, they are at the mercy of The Dark Knight. Their only hope now lies with The Last Son Of Krypton, and even he may be too late to save these men, whom he himself loathes so very much, from a man he once greatly admired. And so begins what nobody could have predicted; the battle of the World's Finest:

BATMAN -vs- SUPERMAN​

So what do you guys & gals think; YAY or NAY ????

agreed. singer doesnt know jack about superman. and yes he did partake in writing the movie. he was credited for the story, but not the screenplay. and as far as im concerned, he's an ok director. i didnt feel a damn thing for any of the characters in superman returns. i felt the movie was stiff, superficial and made for children. there wasnt even a "in memory of christopher reeve" at the end. and that would not have bothered me half as much if singer didnt say he was going to dedicate the damn movie to him. and as far as bvs goes, he should be shot for even considering it. david goyer really is the best comic movie writer out there, with the exception of crow 2 and blade 3, he really hasnt written anything bad. and noland not only got the character of batman, i honestly think he improved him and truly updated him for a new generation of movie goers. so there- damn singer, damn him to hell.

 

[SpiderTime]

ps- let someone who knows that their doing handle batman vs superman. for christs sake, paul dini is a better writter than singer's team.

 

[Ben Urich]

there wasnt even a "in memory of christopher reeve" at the end.

Did you not watch the credits?
"This film is dedicated with love and respect to Christopher and Dana Reeve."
