Well I was quite surprised when i heard this and then when I visited my friend he had a amazing new photo the team was developing its a screensaver on his computer!! I am going to ask him to send me it , though that is not a offical poster it is a example of the artwork they may be using.


As you all know this project has been in development for years and was shelved. The reason it was shelved was at the time there was no franchise that was active, both Batman and the Superman series were dead so the studio decided to nix the idea due to no real connection or stars that people could recoginize as the superheros.

Fast Foward to 2005 the success of Batman Begins and now with almost certainity Superman Returns will shatter records the studio has revived their interest in Batman Vs Superman.

Heres what the old script was in terms of storylines.

I'm sure they will rewrite it again.



This film is said to take around the same time; following the end of Batman Begins and continuing from Superman: The Movie. Both Superman and Batman were young, since those were origin stories, with Batman being around 23 to 26, and Superman being early twenties physical-wise (with the mind of a 30-year old). This film will tie into both franchise's and the comics continuity.


This plot has some major elements in common with Frank Miller's "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns," which climaxes in a fight between Batman and Superman. In that comic Superman also fears that Bruce Wayne has gone "over the line."


"The Dark Knight Returns" along with Alan Moore's Watchmen forced the publishing company DC to reinvent their superhero universe along with Superman and Batman's relationship so that the previous best friends for many years turned unwilling allies who don't agree with each other's methods. For the last few years DC has succesfully published the Superman/Batman book in which the two characters team-up as co-stars


Two alternate versions of the characters also clash over conflicting ideals in "Superman: Red Son


In so excited about this I hope it really works this time that would be awsome!!


      






You get the point! LOL
