Superman beats Batman into a stain on the ground. The End.

actually while batman has superman greatly weakened and he's rambling on about how he had planned this for years and always kept kryptonite in his utility belt, the predator caps them both with his shoulder laser

Man of Steel has a lot of downside but I liked the look of the Kryptonian sets and their armor a lot. The liquid metal displays weren't functional but they were cool looking and different.

They're gonna team up not fight for real duh


I just hope there's a scene where Superman has to get somewhere in a hurry and bring Batman so he just scoops him up and flies and Batman is like "never. Do that. Again." :lol:

Also a scene where they have to examine a crime scene and Supes is like *frowns* okay I just x-rayed and microscoped every inch of the room, and whoever broke in here left no evidence, and Batman is like you mean broke out, the glass shattered outwards moron lol and Supes is like :doh:

Sure does. We start with a boy, follow him through his teen and young adult days, and later become a man. Than more than a Man.

It presents "why" Wayne does this in a compelling manner. It also showed the "how" of Batman in a realistic and exciting way.

I don't get it either.

First, The Dark Knight Rises had a fairly unambiguous ending: A new Bat signal is found by Gordon. Blake has found the Bat Cave. This assumes he's to be the next Batman.

Second, Man of Steel was a great Superman movie that really engaged the concept of a truly super powered hero, ending with the destruction of a large part of Metropolis - something that happens in comics all the time. A great first movie in what is no doubt to be several, at least.

And then, after all that goodness, we have Superman V Batman? With a new Batman, no less.

This seems a butchery of both characters and recent movies.

I'll see it, of course, but I'm pretty skeptical.

Exactly. It feels like they're cutting off Superman's story just as it's getting going.

There's a really simple change that could have made Riddler work great in the Nolanverse, imo: put him on the other side of the law. Make him a Fed brought in to handle the vigilante that the GCPD can't or won't deal with.

Nolan's take on the Riddler would have been interesting.

I read somewhere a theory that the office dweeb in The Dark Knight who discovers Bruce Wayne is Batman is the Riddler since his name in the movie is named Coleman Reece, or Mr. Reece, or of course, "Mystery". I don't buy it though. But it would be cool, since that's one of the gazillion plotlines in TDK: KILL THE RIDDLER!

It's Rocky IV.

In Rocky IV, Rocky is retired and is done with boxing.

Then came this unstoppable boxing machine, Drago, who kills Apollo.

Rocky then trains like a Russian madman and defeats Drago, effectively bringing peace to the world.


TDKR is the same plot, upto and including the primitive training allowing the hero to win.

I'm going to learn more martial arts now, like my hero, Batman.

Serious question: In Batman Begins, Wayne already knows a lot of martial arts before he hooks up with the League of Shadows. Is there a backstory here?

My theory is he learned some MMA and then went to Asia to practice on people who were smaller than him and he knew he could beat them. After he got pretty good beating up smaller people he went northward his ultimate goal being to bang heads with Russians. He wasn't quite ready to gently caress with your average russian yet so he stopped at the middle tier which is the Mongolians and fought with them. Then Ras showed up and gave him acid and ninja skills

I'm not a comic book nerd enough to know whether this is true or not.

Nerds? Is there any "Canon" explanation as to how Wayne initially gets trained? Prior to the LoS?

even if comic book canon meant something for the movies it gets rebooted periodically (and has been since Nolan's films)

I thought TDKR was full of humor. The first hour is basically Wayne getting punk'd over and over again, and he knows it.


Regarding the next movie - the "Superman" movie - since Nolan is Exec. Producing, should we assume it's a continuation of the same Batman character as in these three films, even with a different actor? Or is this yet another reboot?
