The Dark Knight (SPOILERS START ON PAGE 3)
JediBendu:
You do realize that the 1978 Superman movie is outdated completely when it comes to the extent of Superman's powers? That film, while not being canon to anything else except for that series of films, was made during a time when Superman's powers WERE broken even in the comics. But by now, they have actually been toned down considerably. He is FAR less powerful than he was back in the 70s.
And, as I already said, he doesn't stay in his own sandbox and it's proved very successful so far.
I mean I really hate that I'm nerding out this much but seriously, you're just wrong.
johnny5:
he meant it wouldn't work in the movies. seriously, when i'm watching my batman, the last thing i want is for superman to show up in his shiny mesh suit and start shooting lasers everywhere. now, if maybe they wanted him to hunt batman...i would watch batman kick superman's ass.
JediBendu:
I don't think anyone suggested there be some kind of joint Superman/Batman movie, just a confirmation that the other DC movies exist together like the Marvel films are doing.
And I understand that he's saying it wouldn't work in the movies. But he simply said it in such a definitive "that will never work" kind of way that it was just kind of wrong (and also seems to believe that mixing worlds doesn't work in any medium, I at least didn't see him try to correct this). He also seems to think the 1978 movie is somehow canon and proof of some point regarding Superman, which is also wrong.
Lines:
I guess I didn't make it clear enough that I dislike Superman. And no, bringing a super strength man from outer space would NOT fit with Nolan's Gotham. He's trying to make his characters believable and Superman just can't be made to be believable. He's a superhero, not a masked vigilante. It just wouldn't work in this particular series. If they make another movie with the both of them, hey, good for them, but I don't want Superman in these particular movies.
Also, I've read the comics. The last Robin is really annoying. The first two are involved in really good story lines, but as Nolan has already said he doesn't intend to use Robin, I'm not getting my hopes up. Maybe if they make a lot more movies, yes, I can see him being introduced, but this is still the beginning of Batman, so I don't see the need to rush in the sidekick when he's not really needed.
Ozymandias:
Can I just say that I don't want a third movie?
That there doesn't really seem to be a need for it, to me.
