Why a Batman/Superman Film Won't Work

You spend time telling the world why this movie may not work and end off by expressing interest in getting a Justice League. Two characters together, its too early. Five characters together, what the [frick] is taking WB/DC so long? Really?

Warner Bros is just rushing this all way too much they need to stop chasing Marvels tail and relax and just get their shit together. I mean for [frick] sake Marvel dosent even have all their character rights and their still making it work come on DC just take you time PLEASE!!!!

maybe warner/dc should of announce the batman reboot for 2015 & the team up worlds finest for 2016.

then movies for green lantern,the flash,wonder woman & aquaman for 2017 & 2018.

all set up for justice league in 2019.

how old are you? you gave no reason other than i don't think so lol.....

i do agree. superman needs more time being superman.and how can they reboot batman skipping many things such a solo movie or an origins story. and also we just had an spectacular batman triology, 3 years is not enough at least make like spiderman and reboot in 4 years.

Batman just had three films throughout the past decade to introduce him to audience members, after a prior decade where he had four films. I think, even if this is a new incarnation of Batman, audiences are familiar enough with him that his appearance won't be jarring. I also like how you say "the disappointing conclusion to Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy", and immediately after say it would be disrespectful to introduce a new Batman so soon afterward because of "all he did to save the franchise." That's just, two completely different trains of thought right there. I also don't think he'll view it as disrespectful, due to the fact that he's an executive producer on the film.

They should make Batman the 'villain' of this World's Finest to Superman....Come up with an interesting story involving Bruce Wayne coming to Metropolis to clean it up alongside Lex Luthor. He also wants to investigate this so called 'menace' that destroyed the city, according to what Luthor has been spreading.

They meet the first time and fight....Batman barely gets away. They dont talk or anything, just see each other. End the second act with another fight where Batman gets the upper hand using Kryptonite gotten from Luthor and beats Superman, and with them both realizing they are not the enemy. Batman loses the Kryptonite in the fight though. The real enemy is clearly Lex.

Third act, they team up and go against Luthor and whoever else (Metallo, Parasite, etc....some sort of Luthor created henchman villain).....

Luthor can escape to fight another day, Batman and Superman beat his creation, overcoming their differences, etc etc....end the movie with Superman giving Batman a Kryptonite shard for safekeeping, should the need arise.

On the other hand, have the Daily Planet team, Clark, Lois, and Jimmy also trying to get to the bottom of what Luthor is doing.

Clark and Lois have to deal with their relationship.

The public does not trust Superman yet, between the events of MoS, and due to the lies spread by Luthor. Every time he goes into action as Superman, he is hated and negatively received.

I just thought all of this up in a few minutes.....There's more to be added and whatnot, obviously, but I think this would be an interesting way of doing this movie.

Make Batman and Luthor the main "villains" of the movie.

"By this film's release, it will have only been 3 years since the disappointing conclusion to Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy."

"These points prove that DC fails at movies. I am still excited for this film. I am just worried. Until DC does something right,make mine Marvel!"

Y u need 2 move this from news. ;)

I also like World's Finest more. I was just wondering why you seem to be under the impression that "Batman vs. Superman" is the current title? I don't think there has been any announcement on that yet.

Which means that that's the title of the movie now? Media outlets called TDKR "Batman 3" until WB revealed the title, so I don't the Media really matters.

You know why a Batman/Superman film is good for 2015?

That year marks the 75th anniversary of the first time Batman and Superman met.

Think about that for a second.

This film WILL fail and fail miserably because:

1) The Dark Knight Trilogy is the most critically and commercially successful set of DC films that Warner Brothers has ever made. It was the inspiration style wise for the current Man of Steel movie. Audiences will almost definitely be disappointed in the new Batman who is being rebooted...for NO reason!

2) It both shows Warner Brother's desperation and lack of faith in their comic book titles. People will eventually get sick of Batman now going into his eight film in the last two decades.

3) Looking at Warner Brother's history it has NEVER rebooted/recast a DC character successfully without a tie in movie that introduced the character first. It failed critically with George Clooney, Val Kilmer, and Brandon Routh. Plus outside of the Nolan Batman films and the Nolan inspired Man of Steel, it has produced only four out of 17 DC comic movies that were considered successful commercially and critically. One half of Zack Snyder's 6 films (the most recent three) have registered as Rotten on Rotten Tomatoes versus Christopher Nolan who has NEVER had a film that was considered rated as "Rotten."
