World's Finest Fanfiction/plot

I'm in the group that believes they should do a World's Finest/Batman-Superman teamup before they go ahead with the Justice League and establish the Bats/Supes relationship that is integral to the JL.

World's Finest/Batman & Superman Teamup

Main Cast:

Superman: Henry Cavill



For obvious reasons, I kept him as Superman. By now I think everyone is confident in Man of Steel and that it should be the launching point of a DC Cinematic Universe.

Batman: Armie Hammer



I'm all in for Armie Hammer as Batman, he's huge (6'5) , he has the playboy look and just imagine a cowl instead of the domino mask and cowboy hat, he looks just like a young Arkham Batman. He also has a really deep voice like Kevin Conroy, and if he changed the tonality a little bit he could sound really awesome as Batman.

Lex Luthor: Michael Rosenbaum



I know some people will be like "Smallville actor, BLASPHEMY" but hear me out, Michael Rosenbaum was the best part of that show. I don't think anyone can say that he wasn't a good Lex Luthor, and I think he would continue to do a good job if he was brought back into the movies. I know this casting is unlikely because it's obviously a different universe from Smallville, but hey this is a fancast right?

Metallo/John Corben: Sam Worthington



I can't decide whether or not I want Metallo to be a cyborg or a full-on Robot like in Justice League: Doom , but I think Sam Worthington's voice would be good for Metallo and if they decided to go Cyborg he looks like he could be in the Military like John Corben.

Plot:

After the battles of Smallville and Metropolis the town/city have just finished or are close to repairing all the damage done by the Kryptonians and things are back to normal. A lot of people consider the Man of Steel a hero and are starting to call him Superman (he's been heavily involved in the repair effort). However, MIlitary types like Colonel Hardy and Sam Lane still don't trust him, and though he's done a lot of good, think they need to have a way of restraining him if he does eventually try to take over.

Hardy/Lane bring this proposal to the heads of the military/goverment, but they disagree and think that Superman is here to help, and has proved it. Angered by this, they decide to go "Under the table" and seek help from LexCorp who's CEO has publicly shared his distaste for Superman. Luthor accepts the offer and uses scientists from one of the subsidiary laboratories (CADMUS) to develop something. Using a sample of Superman's blood they are able to synthesize a compound that is able to damage Superman's cells (Kryptonite, but it won't be called that at all in the movie). Lex and the military decide that they want to incorporate the Kryptonite into robotic drone type things and this leads to the invention of Metallo with the "Kryptonite" core. Batman learns of all of this with his detective work and decides to warn Superman of this plot by the military, the two decide to team up and put a stop to Colonel Hardy's under the table dealings with LexCorp.

Well there's the basic plot/premise, I think it could be a realistic way to progress Superman's story and Batman's help is logical because Superman can't do anything against Kryptonite.

Share your thoughts below! Like I said, this is just a basic overview of the plot and I kind of just brainstormed the whole thing.

@KryptonianAbominationClone

Yeah the fancast was kind of an after thought really, and I'm not sure about the picture of Cavill, I just looked up Henry Cavill Superman and that was on the of the first few pictures that came up.

I don't want Hammer to be Batman, no way. But I do agree that there should be a world's finest first before a justice league. This is what I would do in terms of films.

2016 Man of steel sequel
If MOS is a success then make another sequel but include a cameo either Wonder Women or Martian Manhunter.

2015 A Flash solo movie
Cameo from GL

2016 or 17 Batman reboot

2018 worlds finest

2019 or 20 Justice League

^^^yeah, no Hammer.

2015 - MoS sequel titled, Superman: Speeding Bullets. Introducing the Flash

2016 - Wonder Woman solo. Aquaman cameo since they are both mythological based.

2017 - Justice League w/ Batman. The team is Supes, Bats, WW, Aqua, Flash

2018 - Batman Reboot

2019 - Mos 3

2020 - Justice League 2. Green Lantern revamped origin. This should be plenty of time for the general audience to get the taste of the previous gl movie out of their mouths...

MoonDoggyX - 6/3/2013, 11:27 AM
OR...

2015 - Mos 2

2017 - Mos 3

2018 - Batman Reboot. We need at leas 6+ years between movies for a reboot

2019 - World's Finest. Introduce Wonder Woman, Mythological villain. Have diana leave the Island at the end of the film.

2020 - Batman 2. Intro the Flash. Show batman against a Super-Powered villain.

2021 - Justice League - Justice League. Green Lantern revamped origin. This should be plenty of time for the general audience to get the taste of the previous gl movie out of their mouths... lol

just my two cents

Not enough Batman, dude. This basically Man of Steel 2 with special guest Batman. Michael Fassbender would be my pick for Batman (and don't lie; none of us would be complaining if Christian Bale came back), but Armie sounds good too.
Like I said, needs more Batman. Throw in some of his supporting characters/Wayne Industries into this plot and that'd be better.

Agree with KAC as soon as I saw Arnie Hammer , I face palmed immediately. Like no offence everyone has opinions and views but I think he'd make a fantastic Aquaman. As I think he could pull it off.

My Worlds Fines would take place after MOS and would star Luthor Deathstroke, Black Mask and Metallo.

I am currently writing a fan fic myself.

Armie Hammer is TOO tall. I think he is 6'5". Having him tower over Superman 6'1" - visually is a bad idea. Batman should be played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

The man who should play Lex Luthor who could bring Heath Ledger type gravitas to the role is Ralph Fiennes (see Schindler's List).

Ultimately, I think that they should NOT do a World's Finest. I think it takes away from the Justice League and people have had enough (13 films combined) of Superman and Batman. It is way past time to shift the focus on other heroes.

KAC hit the nail on the head... How many people fancast heath Ledger or Robert Downey Jr...?

After thinking about it, I'm alright with Hammer. I'm more curious to see what he would do with Batman. If that movie with him and Cavil is good, he should be Batman.

Urban and Butler have been my past 2 Batman picks and I don't know. Both are near 40ish. We near someone near Cavil's age.

Bruce Willis should be Lex. He's perfect.

Also Joker should be involved.

Lex Luther needs to be like Ra's in Begins: a total badass. We saw Liam as Ra's. who is as badass as Liam? Bruce Willis. Watch him in Expendables 1 & 2. Bruce's character is a CEO type business man character who can make you shit your pants. We need that with Lex.

Good concept, bad cast (aside from Henry Cavill). This belongs in fan-fic
LEVITIKUZ
LEVITIKUZ - 6/3/2013, 4:26 PM
Jim Carrey should be the Joker. He would be so [frick]ing perfect.

Cavil for Superman
Hammer for Batman
Carrey for Joker
Willis for Lex

[frick]ing epic.

Is Hammer really 6'5"??? How could he be Batman...? Someone that tall is in the 99.7% for height(wikipedia). A six foot bat could be almost anyone... A 6 and a half foot bat, not so much when there is maybe 100 people in the whole city that tall...
MoonDoggyX
MoonDoggyX - 6/3/2013, 8:01 PM
...and add the cowl and bat ears on top of that. How crazy would it look to have Batman 6-8 inches taller than Supes...?

Yes to a Worlds Finest's before The Justice League

Eeeeh...no to Armie as Bats

Stick to editorials Levi. Fan cast aren't for you.

I agree with RedHood, I'm not much better though (although, I'm very proud of my Ghost Rider fancast). Stick to editorials Levi. Cause seriously, Bruce Willis as Lex Luthor and Jim Carrey as The Joker? I love both actors but that casting is just terrible. Speaking of cast, shouldn't this be under fanfic instead of editorials? Just saying. I won't comment on Armie Hammer until The Lone Ranger comes out, whenever I see it I'll judge for myself. He has looks but, not the kind that gives me a Bruce Wayne feel. It's all about the acting and staying true to the spirit of the character. You stay true to it then you'll be fine.

Jim Carrey would be the perfect Joker. He has played the Joker in EVERY MOVIE HE'S EVER DONE!!!!!
BatsFan
BatsFan - 6/4/2013, 6:23 AM
Yeah Carrey would actually be a great Joker but would they cast someone who already played in a Batman movie? I also like Bruce willis for Lex if he got back to his better acting like in 12 monkey or Unbearable and not just do the "Bruce Willis Look". If they go with a younger Lex, than Michael C. Hall. He would fit the All-star Superman Lex version.

@ MoonDoggyX

I did not even think about the height thing basically outing him as Batman. ANOTHER reason why Hammer should not be Batman. He is even taller than BOTH previous actors who played Superman - Brandon Routh 6'3" and Christopher Reeves 6'4"...and I thought they were both awkwardly lankey. Since Superman is the most powerful character it makes more sense for him to be taller than everyone but still that is also another reason why his Clark Kent disguise was flimsy.

We had Gangsta Joker with Jack, insane Joker in Heath, now do a more comedic Joker with Jim.
BatsFan
BatsFan - 6/4/2013, 8:37 AM
He would look like Jim Lee Joker in Hush.
