The Movie Blog: Bryan Singer Talking Batman vs Superman
Oh boy, this would be interesting.? Spoliers on “Superman Returns”, you have been warned.

The one movie that has the potential to catch my passion even more
than “the film that shall no longer be named”, would easily be a Batman vs
Superman flick. Ever since I first read “The Dark Knight Returns” I’ve been
dying to see a screen version of Batman and Superman together… and coming to
blows.
Now, (thanks to Cater for the heads up) the good folks over at Moviehole
are saying Bryan Singer wouldn’t mind taking a shot at a project like this…
after another Superman film that is:
Initially, director Wolfgang Peterson had planned to make
the film – based on a script by “Se7en” writer Andrew Kevin Walker – but he
eventually pulled out (because of numerous reasons, including the inability to
find a fitting Superman and Batman) to make swords ‘n’ sandals epic, “Troy”.
This was long before Warner decided to greenlight “Batman Begins” and “Superman
Returns”. Today, Singer tells MTV that he’s considering the “Batman Vs.
Superman” film – but not before The Man of Steel has a couple more singly
adventures. “I’ve thought about it for a long time — even a longer time ago,
actually,” the director revealed. “But I don’t know who would be the villain. I
guess Batman would be the villain, but then he can’t be too bad, because he is
Batman”. In Andrew Kevin Walker’s script for “Batman Vs. Superman”, Lex Luthor
and The Joker are the villains. In the story, the crooks team up. Batman’s lover
is killed. Channels of communication are mixed. Fingers are pointed. Bam!
Suddenly Batman and Superman are duking it out.
Ok, I’m not
thrilled with the Walker script idea, but the basic concept is sound. Have Sups
and Bats going at it! Hell yeah! In the comic, Batman beats the crap out of
Superman… twice. And both times it’s glorious (don’t get me wrong, I love
Superman).
My frigging kingdom to see this flick! Do it Bryan! Do
it! Maybe Batmen accidentally kills Superman’s bastard kid at the same
time Superman accidentally kills Katie Holmes. YES YES YES! Now EVERYONE is
happy and the two of them can kick the piss out of each other for 90 minutes.
Yay!
