Let;s not put the cart before the horse. Get the GL movie done, and then make decisions based on that. Not that I think GL will go the way of Jonah Hex, but if the first one isn’t quite the hit they anticipate all of this discussion will really drag down the business if not the entire studio. Remember that unlike the Marvel comics which are licensed to different studios, ALL of the DC properties belong to WB.

Man of Steel, the Man of Tomorrow, the Last Son of Krypton, Metropolis Marvel, Kryptonian, and the Big Blue Cheese, Big Blue Boyscout, or hell… even Supes.

Call him what you want. All those nick names were used in the comics.

In reply to Leif Erikson.

He is often called “Supes” by his peers in the comic, so its not a stretch for someone here to use the term either.

You just don’t like it, but its not “the rule”

In reply to Rob D.. or maybe in the next batman movie they could show an article about superman in the daily planet headlining hoax or reality, since they're planning on rebooting the supes franchise, that could be his intro into this whole entanglement, not sure if anyone feels the same but maybe it could work

Nolan did change the supernatural element of Ras al Ghul to fit in his vision of the Batman Universe. By making it as real as possible. Sorta say that this story could actually happen. I can see why Nolan and others wouldn’t want to see Superman in that universe.

That said, I agree with Rodney. I think they absolutely could bring Superman into that universe. I may change the overall outlook of realism, but if done right it can be believable. They would just have to kick Batmans superior intellect and wonderful toys up a notch.

After all this is the best version in my opinon, of Batman. I would like to see it, or atleast an exact copy of it in the JLA universe.

A Supes cameo in GL would be freaking awesome! Also hoping to see them give Routh another go with a different script approach. Make it so!

The Penguin is no more unbelievable than any other villain already presented.

And they dont have to justify a flying alien with heat vision. Simply saying he is an alien opens the doors of psuedo reality already. Joker’s skin as makeup was a choice. Even in Burton’s Batman it was a chemical reaction that stripped pigment from his skin.

Batman can co-exist with Superman even if Batman is only dealing with villains on his own paygrade.
