Comic Con: Superman/Batman Movie Confirmed

At this point can you really call it "introducing" Batman? If there's one character that doesn't need another origin treatment, it's Batman. He could show up in Sleeping Beauty without an introduction.

And break his wrist in the process?
It's a weird comic to adapt considering the MoS version of Superman isn't going to be a soldier for America.
It's even more weird because of the series of events that forced these two to be facing off. I expect nothing from that comic to be adapted aside from that one moment where Batman "supposedly" gets the best of Supes.
That is a very risky theme for a movie considering the powersets and the effort needed to make this look plausible instead of laughable.
If they choose to have a villain to tie these two together I suspect it will be Intergang. Their ties to Apokolips would be a good way to foreshadow events for Justice League.

I think this too. Batman's origin was well told in Nolan movies. MoS didn't do much for Superman's character.

I have absolutely zero faith that anyone involved in this project can make the inevitable Batman vs Superman fight believable. I already didn't like MoS, now they are going to ruin Bats too?!

"Introducing Batman" in the sense that you're introducing a new actor + new version of the character. It doesn't mean an origin story redo, and the fact that the new Batman is making his first appearance in a World's Finest movie would mean they wouldn't do the origin story all over again.

I really want to see something like this:
Of course as far as his characterisation it should have its roots in the animated series (Conroy Batman is best batman) but blend a bit of the hard nose, older, more cynical batman in as well.
I think that Batman really needs to come in as the seasoned pro taking on and eventually working with the hot shot rookie.

I am not a fan of MoS. It did alot more wrong than it got right.
So I can't really say I'm as hyped as some here.
I just hope they don't ruin Batman in this movie. It took 2 amazing and one good movie to forget those foul Schumacher movies.

Fully expect Rorschach Batman.
next up: vampire hordes to destroy all major cities
Oh shit. Did Warner Bros wanted to make this film or something?

Thank goodness we didn't get this.
monsters university opened a week after man of steel. Iron Man 3 had like 3 weeks of safety until fast and the furious came out swinging.
I would say releases helps Disney over DC this time around.

I'm a pretty big batman fan and despite not usually liking superman i quite enjoyed man of steel. This announcement couldn't be anymore disappointing to me. Would much rather keep the two of them separate.
I also felt like Dark Knight Retuns was actually mocking the perfectness of Superman
Just look at that picture. That's almost a caricature.
And Nolan was actually mocking the badassness & coolness of Batman.
Whoeroe's thoe triggeooorrr!
WTF??
This sounds awesome but....I guess we're not getting a sequel to Man of Steel with Lex then??
We could still get Lex. The line from DKR was just an inspiration and not a straight up adaptation (like Rises had elements from DKR). I can see Snyder getting cues from "Public Enemies" as well.
Why would you want to keep them separate?
Anyway, theyre jyst using the MoS Sequel to reintroduce Batman. He will have his own films.
So the movie is going to be a mockeroni
No, I'd strongly argue that he very much is. It's certainly only him or maybe Superman who would carry that crown (most old generation people will likely know who Superman is thanks to the original movie). Not just in Western Europe, but if you went to some rural village in China or India, they'd likely name you either Batman or Superman long before any other superhero (if they even know of any others). Batman especially has a long and continued history in media that most people know who he is regardless of where you go on the planet. That helps them a lot in terms of being recognisable to even newer generations. The advantage Batman has currently is that not only is he coming off the most successful superhero trilogy ever, he's also enjoying extreme levels of success in gaming, and has a big and continued presence in animations, comics etc. The Dark Knight was so influential, it even inspired dramas in Asian countries.
I agree, but I would say that Spiderman is also somewhere up there with Batman and Superman when it's about international fame.
I haven't read through this thread yet -- have we gone through Batman candidates? I'm all for Kevin Smith's suggestion from a few years back.
No, that's Superman.
So they are rebooting Batman only three years after the Nolan series ended? I think a lot of people are going to be confused. Justice League has to happen somehow though, though I wonder if you take away some of the oomph by having Supes and Bats interact a lot in this movie.
I think by now most people going to see these movies understand reboots.

I fear that this is just how Frank Miller sees the world. The guy is a nutjob.

I suppose, if you think every DC movie should be grim, gritty, and humorless, with numerous scenes of characters Very Seriously Explaining What X Character Means.

There should be a Bizarro vs Bat-mite movie.

I highly doubt it.
Episode VII will probably do Avengers 1 numbers. But I doubt it'll have a 200 million opening. Even accounting for inflation, Phantom Menace didn't reach that and you all know how hyped everyone was 15 years ago.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Highly, highly doubtful, but they should.
That would put me back on the hype train.

People don't think Avengers 2 will be huge? That and Star Wars are the only sure fire hits in 2015. Its the sequel to the third biggest movie of all time.
