I was looking over at www.superherohype.com and saw the following :

Let me think for a moment.

Alien, who has lazer eyes, super strenght, super speed, and can fly.

Vs

A rich dude who knows kung fu, has gadgets, and a cool butler.

Yeah can't wait to see that 12 second movie.

I think you're selling Batman short.

Yeah, the only way I wanna see an actual Bats vs. Supes grudgematch is if it's in the context of a DARK KNIGHT RETURNS movie.

like Limp said, a "WORLDS FINEST TEAM" type angle would be much more entertaining to me. Byrne and Miller already did the antagonsim angle, and it was neat for awhile, but I'm pretty bored with the concept now.

If anyone can speculate on anything about this movie, it is that there is one golden rule: BATMAN ALWAYS WINS.

You know, it does seem extremely lop-sided, but Finnegan is right. Batman has a surprisingly good track record in the comics. I can only remember one win, but in a human vs. Superman battle even one win is a great record to have!

Batman is kind of like Luthor, he keeps some kryptonite around, just in case.

Batman/Lex Luthor Team-up is not all that unusual. They did a really fine job with it in the "Kingdom Come" series.

The idea is that between them is a mutual apprehension towards superhuman superiority in the enforcement of law and order. Usually their connection occurs when every once in a while, Superman (or some other superhuman) "crosses the line". That's why Batman always seems to have some sort kryptonite around and, most recently, created the Brother Eye/OMAC project. Batman uses Luthor to his advantage and knowing Luthor's inevitable backstabbing, often turns the tables on the villian before he has the chance.

Batman's goal is never to "defeat" Superman, it's to be able to always remind the Man of Steel that his actions occasionally seem a hair away from some form of Fascist Superhuman Rule and he will always step up to take him down no matter how "close" of friends and allies they may be.

Batman/Superman movie would be cool.

There would be an awesome hype-up to the event with two camps forming:

Batman people

Superman people

It could lead to some interesting things.

Now that'd be fucking awesome.

Superman vs Batman : Who ever wins, we all lose!

I can understand why Batman would fight Superman at first, but it would be a quick fight that would end with them teaming up, so I don't really see an entire movie around it. Granted, I've not read the comics, so I might just be talking out of my ass here, but I just can't see why they would be mortal enemies.

I guess if they each had their own ideas of what truth, justice and all that other stuff should be, but I'd rather see them team up against Darksied or Brainiac or something... Cool
