You gotta be kidding???

Bryan Singer, forget it... If someone should make this clash of the titans movie, then it has to be Christopher Nolan or Wolfgang Petersen.

What do you people think???

For a versus movie, you need to find an unbiased director. Look what happened with AvP. The director loved Alien so much, he portrayed Alien as this invincible uber creature and Predator as the lamest and weakest creature ever seen on film.

If they are really trying to make this movie( which I think is a bad idea), then they shouldn't pick Bryan Singer. He'll make Superman look good and unstoppable and Batman the ultimate weakling. Pick a Batman director and Batman will be invincible and Superman will not be super at all. Either way, you pick a biased director, you're going to get a very bad film like AvP.

Pick an unbiased director who's not really a big fan of either and you'll probably get a more balance film. But I still think this is a really bad idea.

Umm well seeing how Batman really has no power, I think Superman would walk all over him (even though Batman is so much cooler). The movie would of course not show that, so it would then be illogic.

I wouldnt see it.

DangerMouse · 07-06-2006, 03:57 PM

In the comic, Batman has a special suit and kicks Superman's a**.

Personally, I don't care who directs it....because I hope they don't make the movie.

Batman has beaten Superman in the comics. Superman is not invincible, and Batman is of course a dirty fighter and a lot smarter. It'd be a closer battle than one might think.

Krytonite?

Why are Batman and Superman fighting anyway?

It kind of comes down to how much time Bats has to prepare for the fight. If he knows it's coming, and he has time to map out a gameplan, Superman doesn't stand much of a chance. But if it's spontaneous (which has happened before), Batman would be done before it even started.

And if it was a spontaneous, Superman sneak attack, wouldn't be much of a film then, right?

boydston_14 · 07-06-2006, 04:27 PM

yeah, Batman could always use a kryptonite ring or something along those lines to kick Superman's @$$ back to where Krypton used to be.

Sure, but Superman could just use his super breath to force him out into the upper atmosphere. I don't think they could make a decent Batman V. Superman film without seriously dumbing down the Man of Steel (Batman can go stealth greater than anybody in the world I'm sure, but Superman has super-hearing, and would hear him coming from miles away if he really focused).

Either way, I'd much rather see a team-up film over a versus film.

agreed. If they would make this. I hope that they don't fight through the whole film

MovieBuff801 · 07-06-2006, 05:07 PM

A team-up film would be the more sensible way to go. A VS. movie would probably last 10 mins. and that'd be it. I have an idea for a team-up film as a matter of fact, where Batman and Superman team up to take down Lex Luthor and The Joker.

SJBKAT · 07-06-2006, 08:52 PM

That's just it. It's not really a VS movie at all. It is a team up. I think the general idea was The Joker kills Batman's girlfriend. Batman tracks The Joker all the way to Metropolis. It's there that Superman and Batman don't get along due to different styles. I do know that they fight a litte, but ultimately its a Batman and Superman Vs The Joker and Lex Luthor. I for one think this has a lot of potential. I want to see a team up film. They do it in the comics, why not on film?

Dirk Calloway · 07-06-2006, 10:12 PM

If they want Bats v. Supes they should do Dark Knight Returns.

I agree
and would rather see Nolan direct.

FVD · 07-06-2006, 11:24 PM

I would rather this movie not happen at all. What's the point of having them fight each other.

SnoBorderZero · 07-06-2006, 11:53 PM

This is a stupid idea. Sure, people would see it, but it would not turn out to be a quality film.

rodvcpetrie · 07-07-2006, 01:25 AM

If they do go ahead they should call it something like Superman: The Dark Knight instead of Superman VS Batman.

Also why does there have to be any animosity between them at all?

jagger2124 · 07-10-2006, 12:21 PM

Ok, I'll admit that the action scenes would be good in a versus movie, but what sort of premise could there be that makes two heros turn on one another

You say that but Lex has no powers and he can always put up a good fight against Superman.

I'd like Singer and Nolan to work on it together, maybe Singer would just wanna be Producer but I am sure I'd want them both working on it.

I think Singer handles fight scenes a bit better, but he does have more experience. But Nolan is better at dark, moody, beautiful looking films.

All in all they are both fantastic though.

My dream director for this is James Cameron .....

Good luck on that, he's so full of himself, he knows he'll never make a film as successful as Titantic, so he just cops out with documentaries on the subject. Spielberg won't be able to top Schindler's List in terms of impact, yet he's still making films. Coppola as well after Godfather. Cameron's a great director, but he's damn full of himself.

Nolan is great, for all of you who enjoyed Batman Begins (which is pretty much everyone) I STRONGLY suggest checking out Memento.

ALASTER'SFURY · 07-10-2006, 04:49 PM

Gore Verbernski is my choice he can handle mood and action and create a great adventure movie.

and the movie should be called WORLDS FINEST

badgonegood · 07-10-2006, 09:42 PM

I could see something like Wayne Enterprises trying to make a business deal with Lex Corp. Until Bruce Wayne (Batman) realizes that Lex isn't what he seems. While the dark night is out patroling the streets of Matropolis, Superman hears about him in the Daily Planet or something. There could be a love triangle between Bruce, Clark, and Lois Lane. Maybe Lois gets flirty with the new guy in town (Bruce) and Clark gets a little envious. This could fuel more tension between the two later on when they discover eachothers identity. Meanwhile Lex has been secretly working with the Joker and the two plan to kill one bird with two stones by getting Superman and Batman to fight eachother. Of course after a while they realize whatever it is that Lex and The Joker are up to and join forces to save the day.
