Okay, I have now two writing chorses to do. One is a DTV outline featuring Wonder Woman that I want DC/WB to do. And the other is a fanfic/what may happen movie script featuring the team up (NOT FIGHTING) of Superman & Batman. But before I even consider writing something like this, I wanted to see what would work for this team up since this is a crossover of two different franchises (that work well together in the comics and animation).
The crossover films thus far today have been that of versus types. Freddy vs. Jason, Alien vs Predator. Even in the DTV world; The Batman vs Dracula. Although that DTV shouldn't be an example. Superman & Batman are allies. They don't agree with the other's motives, but they do help other to get the job done. All in all, not enough for each of them to go "that's IT!" and start punching one another. So again, like all of you would agree, they SHOULD NOT fight.
The two crossover movies I mentioned above also offer something else: two different types of how to handle the characters and their universes in order for both to appear together and make sense. Freddy vs Jason was set in the Nightmare on Elm Street universe with Jason in it. Which offers one suggestion for Superman/Batman: have the film be set in a universe that better fits one superhero and fit in the other.
Then there's Alien vs Predator. For that film, it is set in one universe where both parties exist together (in the present the Predators exist in space but because of AvP, the aliens will replace them in the future). So for that, the second suggestion for Superman/Batman would be to: set the film in one setting where both characters would fit easily like in their own films.
My ideas:
- First Suggestion:
Like I said; take one character and his universe and throw in the other character. I would have it be set in the universe of Superman and have him hear about Batman and then go and find him (like Man of Steel #3) and then go off into a situation that has them fighting together with soem pros and cons which ends up having them being titled "World's Finest".
- Second Suggestion:
Tie both characters' universes and unite them both. Basically its Superman from Superman Returns & batman from Batman Begins meeting together. Because fo that, what happened (or will happen) from both franchises will be mentioned. Like Batman would mock Superman's move to leave earth for five years while Superman wouldpoint out Batman had killed someone in his "no kill" policy of Ra's Al Ghul. In the tying of both franschises, a major villian team up from both franchises would occur as well and from that, the story would then form.
So what and which do you think would work out for a Superman/Batman: World's Finest?
