A Superman/Batman Movie?!?

   So apparently there has been some grumblings with the New "Man of Steel" movie on the horizons. For the past year the rumors have all been focused on DC/WB doing a "Justice League" movie following this summers "Man of Steel" (IF the movie is successful of course). I have heard so many rumors on this. Lets list a few...

   1. After Man of Steel DC will do a Justice League movie where the "NEW" Batman will feature and from there they will spawn off and do another series of Batman movies no longer in the Nolan-verse.
   2. **spoilers** Rolling off of the previous Rumor came another one where Joseph Gordon-Levitt would reprise his character of John Blake who takes over the Batman Mantle from Bruce Wayne at the end of The Dark Knight rises. (Gordon-Levitt as Batman)
   3. There was then the Rumor that at the end of The Man of Steel Superman would seek out Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) and urge him to return as Batman. This would be a post credits clip which would be via the Marvel style thats was done to build up the Avengers. Where Bruce would return as Batman in the new Justice League movies.

   The latest rumor has been growing as of late, and seems like people feel like its a strong possibility. It seems lately people feel like there is a good chance that Henry Cavill and Christian Bale could team up to do a Superman/Batman movie. It doesnt help the rumor that it hasnt been denied and in fact...Superman himself likes the idea. (Man of Steel wants to meet Batman)

   Now, lets say that this rumor is indeed fact. How would this affect Justice League? Let's pretend that this is indeed a fact how should DC and Warner Bros handle this all...

   Let them (Supes and Bats) remain in the Nolan-verse and just move the Justice League into another direction completely. I personally feel like they have done an amazing job with the Batman Movies and from what I have seen so far Superman will follow in that all. I think you dont want to continue down this road if you are DC/WB. The dropped into "reality" plots have worked wonders.
   I just personally feel that if Nolan isnt willing to over see all of your movies and all of your properties dont give it off to someone else to tinker with. Just move it into another direction completely (In terms of a Justice League movie).
   That said, IF there is a Superman/Batman movie, a team up of the World's Finest if you will? That makes complete sense. Both characters have lived in the Nolan-verse and letting those two continue would be awesome. I loved all of the Batman movies and feel like not only were they great Batman movies they were just great movies. If you take The Dark Knight; I will put that movie up against any movie ever and say it is hands down one of the best movies of all time.
   Now taking Superman and Batman and pushing them in a movie together would give most Batman fans exactly what they want. MORE BALE!! Most will argue that Michael Keaton is the best Batman ever (I will debate this at another bat-time). Personally I feel Bale was the best ever. (Including the voice that seems to annoy everyone and which I actually didnt mind at all, just made sense to me). So if you tell me I could get another Bale-Bat flick and possibly three more? Well then sign me up right now!!
   Again this is all rumors and no one will know for sure until after The Man of Steel really happens. Remember if Man of Steel does zero business in the box office then this all goes away (Superman Returns anyone?). Back when Superman Returns was buzzing and before it was released there were many rumors of a Superman vs Batman movie. That if you research you will even find quotes where Bale said it was green lit. Problem is Brandon Routh and Superman Returns flopped in terms of the money it made. Once that movie was viewed as a disaster Singer was shipped back to X-Men world and any idea of Routh as Superman meeting Batman died as well.
   I personally think DC/WB dont need a Superman/Batman movie at all. Would it be nice? Yes. would it be cool? Absolutely. I just think right now DC is doing so many amazing things (Arrow). Now, they dont have to have this movie but I think this would be a nice thing to do for the fans. The people who have supported DC and all they do. I think most comic book and especially DC fans would love to see this happen.
   There were MANY nights while watching "Smallville" I prayed a young Bruce Wayne would turn up in Smallville or Metropolis. The best thing was reference to him in the season finale, but that was enough for me.

   Anyway, thats my take on a Superman/Batman movie. I vote a yes. Lets hope Man of Steel does amazing next week and then makes Warner Bros want this to happen.

That is all for now...see you all next time in the Batcave...
