"Batman V Superman: The Dawn of Justice"

…and that’s the official title, folks. Anyone left who wonders why Marvel won the race while DC was still trying to figure out which horse to ride?

Wasn’t Batman V. Superman that guy in India?

And wouldn’t “Batman V Superman do a V Formation with a skinny supermodel playing Wonder Woman: the Dawn of Threesomes” be so much better?

It’s an okay title. It references the Justice League, I guess.

So does Batman gain super powers or does Supes lose his? Otherwise, it’s a pretty one-sided fight.

The traditional solution to this in comic books is to have Superman keep all of his abilities, but lose most of his IQ points.

Occasionally to the point where Batman has to actively remind Superman about his superpowers.

It’s so overwrought and pretentious it sounds like a bad SNL parody.

You’ve read DKR and seen the one or two animated movies that pit them against each other? It can be done. As long as Ollie doesn’t fuck up. :slight_smile:

You know, Lex Luthor gives Superman a run for his money on a regular basis, and *he *doesn’t have super powers, either. How is Bruce Wayne any less of a threat?

I just seems weird to me - everybody’s saying that an unpowered human being has no chance against Superman, when Superman’s *nemesis *is an unpowered human being.

In fairness, if Bruce Wayne were less athletic, he’d be Lex Luthor.

[Edited to add: ninja’d! As if by Batman!]

And on the other side of the coin, Batman has plenty of experience fighting people who are superhumanly strong, or tough, or… whatever, and winning.

What a croc.

Keep that up, and I might bane you.

Justice League: War had some extended fighting between Batman and Superman and I was very entertained.

I think there’s a typo in the title.

Shouldn’t it be “Batman V Superman VI: Superman Wins!”

In the case of Batman V Superman, keep in mind that Bruce has the better lawyers. Super strength doesn’t count for much against a properly constructed legal brief.

Actually, it occurs to me that Batman, Superman and V would make a helluva combo. THREE caped crusaders in one film! Plus the babe!

Huh. One little attempt at humor and you go strange on us.

Meh. It doesn’t add to or detract from my interest in the movie. Kinda cheesy. Would’ve preferred World’s Finest. But I enjoyed Man of Steel very much and hope to enjoy this too.

Batman getting top billing suggests to me that they’ve probably given up faith in Supes as a franchise, though. I guess 7 - 800 million is considered a disappointment for superheroes now.

Oh, hush.

Superman gets second billing in his own sequel. DC seems to hate their own characters that aren’t Batman.

Don’t defend him. I’m tired of mods that think they’re Grodd.

I don’t know about hate. I think it’s more like that person who puts ketchup on everything. DC thinks everything’s better with Batman in it.

Hey, don’t tut-tut me.
